Summer is heating up, and so are our screens. This week of television gave us the perfect distraction from the heat. We happily stayed indoors to watch all of the hot, new releases. On streaming, Netflix pulled through giving us new seasons and series. From wrestlers on Muscles & Mayhem to witches on The Witcher, you’re bound to be either knocked out or enchanted by the stories that unfold. Hulu (with episodes streaming the next day) brought back every generation, like the college kids on grown-ish to grandparents and grandkids on Generation Gap; there is something for all ages. We…
Since its discovery in 2008, the skeleton of a high-ranking individual buried inside a tomb in the Iberian Peninsula between 3,200 and 2,200 years ago was thought to be the remains of a man. However, a new analysis reveals that this person was actually a woman.Archaeologists in Spain dubbed the woman the “Ivory Lady” based on the bounty of grave goods found alongside her skeleton, including an ivory tusk surrounding her skull, flint, an ostrich eggshell, amber and a rock crystal dagger, according to a study published Thursday (July 6) in the journal Scientific Reports.For more than a decade, archaeologists…
If you are on this website, then you love books. And you know what’s almost as exhilarating as reading a book? Hunting for the next one — especially if you are in a book club. Whether your club has spirited discussions, takes a vote, or turns selection over to its leader, the search for the next book club book can be an exhaustingly joyous experience. Each month, BookTrib helps book clubs (or further complicates things) on the matter of picking future books by sending 60 clubs around the country a box of several books — either from bestselling authors or…
If, even after spotting peplum silhouettes in nearly every autumn/winter 2023 collection throughout fashion month, you’re still not convinced that they’re worth giving a second chance to, the news I’m about to share with you is bound to put you over the edge. After all, I’ve yet to come across a fashion item worn by Kate Middleton that didn’t go absolutely viral, and no matter how controversial peplum is, the hatred around it doesn’t come close to balancing out the influential abilities of the Princess of Wales. If you haven’t already guessed, Middleton was spotted earlier today wearing a peplum Erdem blazer…
As the pixels settle after Apple’s meticulously planned rollout of its Vision Pro headset, battle lines have solidified in the war for a new reality. Multiple tech powers—and some rising upstarts—are developing headsets and other gizmos to digitally augment or replace the world our raw senses perceive. But there’s a clear split in philosophy over the role these mixed-reality devices will play.Suddenly, that schism matters. Only a year ago—in those palmy days when we weren’t fixated on AI writing our essays and maybe wiping out humanity—tech’s big obsession was the metaverse. Every company seemed to have a strategy for this…
Evan Peters, the actor best known for his portrayal of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, has landed his next role opposite Jared Leto in Disney’s long-in-the-works Tron 3. Helmed by veteran Disney director Joachim Rønning (Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales), the movie is titled Tron: Ares. Its script, written by Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne, is said to focus on “the emergence of a sentient program that crosses over into the human world that is not ready for contact.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, Peters’ role in the film is currently unknown, though two of…

A Mediterranean fruit fly (bottom) meeting a robot-controlled, 3D-printed replicaDonato Romano Male fruit flies reared in a lab are more successful at mating after an encounter with a robotic dummy designed to look like a rival male. The finding could boost efforts to control populations of the flies, which are a major crop pest. The Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata) is one of the most destructive fruit pests in the world, found on every continent except Antarctica. There have been various attempts to rein it in by releasing large numbers of … Read The Full Article Here
Nicholas Alexander Chavez will be checking out of General Hospital — but only temporarily — as he films a starring role in Monsters: The Menendez Brothers, the second season of Netflix’s Monster series. According to TVLine, Chavez will take a temporary leave of absence from GH to shoot Monsters, though it’s unclear when the latter show will start filming, given the ongoing writers’ strike.

Archaeologists in Iceland have unearthed the country’s oldest known drawing: a scratched-out piece of “Viking graffiti” that looks like a partly drawn boat.The researchers found the graffiti in the remains of a longhouse, said Bjarni F. Einarsson, an archaeologist and manager at his private company Fornleifafræðistofan (The Archaeological Office) and the project’s excavation leader. The scribble was engraved on a 1-inch-wide (2.5 centimeters) reddish clay stone and dates to shortly after A.D. 800.The ship isn’t complete, which is typical of Viking boat graffiti, Einarsson said. But the carving shows a sail with vertical lines, a rope from the sail to…
When I first saw the Uniqlo crossbody trending on TikTok, I figured it was simple, sleek and useful. When I bought it, I realised there was much more to it than first meets the eye. Firstly, the rounded shape and soft construction are perfect for running errands, going to work and basically any plans you have. Secondly, you’ll find two pockets inside to keep the essentials (read: lip balm) close to hand. Finally, and most importantly, the size is incredibly deceptive. As someone who tends to overpack for even a simple coffee run, I can say this bag fits far more than you’d ever guess. Things…

The Pitch: For an indoor ’90s kid, no weekend was complete without watching incredibly buff people in spandex beat up brave challengers inside Gladiator Arena — the showmanship, the inventive games, and the strong personalities of American Gladiators were perfect Saturday morning entertainment (once the cartoons were over). Of course, indoor ’90s kids had no idea that behind the scenes, life for the American Gladiators had its ups and downs, something that the new documentary series Muscles & Mayhem: An Unauthorized Story of American Gladiators explores over five episodes. While billed as “unauthorized,” the Netflix series is anchored by interviews…

Black-capped chickadees remember the locations of stashed foodPeter Llewellyn RF/Alamy Unique patterns of brain activity that are linked to specific memories have been discovered in songbirds. These “barcode” patterns may be related to memory recall in the birds and could also be present in other animals such as humans. The black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) stores foods such as seeds in hiding places and retrieves them later when sustenance is scarce. This makes it a useful organism to study memory, says Selmaan Chettih at Columbia University in New York. A pair of structures in … Read The Full Article Here
The Block Party by Jamie Day The Block Party, a sterling debut from newcomer Jamie Day, features a high concept that lives up to its promise every step of the way. Our setting is affluent suburbia, a town not unlike the one John Cheever famously portrayed in his classic short story The Swimmer. Friends and neighbors out enjoying a summer block party with family in a safe, bucolic setting. Or, maybe, not so safe, since the reverie is interrupted by sirens, and suddenly the attention of the people of Meadowbrook turns from the barbecue to a murder. What follows is…
Long gone are the days of fashion having strict rules. Many trends have come and gone and resurfaced again, from outlandish styles like the skirts-over-pants look of the 2000s to more practical aesthetics like the Sofia Richie-inspired quiet luxury. Of all the popular styles of the moment, we can’t seem to escape the no-pants trend. Where in the past, it was rare to step out without pants, celebrities have shamelessly and successfully produced several style moments that exclude the wardrobe essential. From Rihanna’s red puffer jacket and heels for a date with A$AP Rocky in mid-winter 2022 to Dove Cameron’s…
Computer gaming might create life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias in vulnerable youngsters whose tendency may have previously gone unreported, according to a new study.The researchers observed an uncommon yet distinct pattern in children who lose consciousness while playing video games.The findings of the study were published in the journal of the Heart Rhythm Society, the Cardiac Electrophysiology Society, and the Pediatric & Congenital Electrophysiology Society.”Video games may represent a serious risk to some children with arrhythmic conditions; they might be lethal in patients with predisposing, but often previously unrecognized arrhythmic conditions,” explained lead investigator Claire M.

Nobody asked for it, but we’re getting it anyway: Emo Orchestra, a live performance featuring full-orchestra renditions of angsty tunes of yore, is coming to a city near you. Created by Ben Mench-Thurlow, the tour’s inaugural run is set for Fall 2023 with special guests Hawthorne Heights. Emo Orchestra is billed as a “perfectly designed tribute to the music that shaped emo fans when the genre first exploded, but is tailored to the people its fans have become in the years since.” Mench-Thurlow explains further: “Our goal with Emo Orchestra was to create an inclusive experience that appeals to a…

Like thread tightly wrapped around a spool, DNA is wrapped around histones and packaged into structures called nucleosomes. Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital are exploring how a type of transcription factor called a pioneer transcription factor accesses DNA even when it is tightly wound. Their work revealed how the epigenetic landscape influences transcription factor binding. Problems with transcription have been implicated in numerous cancers, so this more detailed understanding of the process may aid in developing future therapeutics. The study was published today in Nature. The nucleosome packaging of DNA can physically block transcription factors that regulate gene…
Summer is finally upon us, and there is no better way to kick off the warm months than to watch a show that evokes the feeling of the season. Let’s be honest; even though we may dream of July and August when we are stuck in the dreariness of February and March, summer isn’t always as euphoric as it’s cracked up to be. When the weather drenches us with sweat or gives our hair an unwanted frizz, sometimes, it’s best to curl up inside and watch a show. Whether a show takes place in a coastal town with houses overlooking…

During the colder months, I miss the natural glow I get in the summer. Don’t get me wrong, I’m an avid wearer of SPF year-round (UVA rays are one of if not the biggest contributors to fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation), and I don’t typically tan too much on my face anyway. However, I feel I just look a little healthier in the summer months, even if it is down to the longer days spent outside or a regular routine of self-tanning when I have my arms and legs on show. During the winter, though, my self-tanning routine goes out the window,…
