On April 16, 1991, a supergroup of sorts known as Temple of the Dog released a self-titled album with little fanfare that would eventually become a surprise hit. But the real story of this disc actually starts on March 19, 1990. That was the day that Mother Love Bone vocalist Andrew Wood passed away from a heroin overdose and inspired the musicians that would come together to pay tribute to his musical legacy.It all started with Soundgarden vocalist Chris Cornell, who heard the news and was moved by his friendship with Wood to use music as a form of catharsis and…

Worms can entangle themselves into a single, giant knot, only to quickly unravel themselves from the tightly wound mess within milliseconds. Now, math shows how they do it.Researchers studied California blackworms (Lumbriculus variegatus) — thin worms that can grow to be 4 inches (10 centimeters) in length — in the lab, watching as the worms intertwined by the thousands. Even though it took the worms minutes to form into a ball-shaped blob akin to a snarled tangle of Christmas lights, they could untangle from the jumble in the blink of an eye when threatened, according to a study published April…

In Queer Superhero History, we’ll look at queer characters in mainstream superhero comics, in (roughly) chronological order, to see how the landscape of LGBTQ+ rep in the genre has changed…
Stand-up comedian Richard Lewis, who plays a heightened version of himself on HBO‘s Curb Your Enthusiasm, has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Lewis revealed his diagnosis on Sunday, April 23, in a Twitter video where he opened up about his recent health issues. “The last three and a half years, I’ve had sort of a rocky time,” he said before explaining he’s had four different surgeries in that time, including on his back, shoulder, and hip. “I had four surgeries back to back to back to back; it was incredible; I couldn’t believe it, it was bad luck, but that’s…

Beautiful Ghost by Milana Marsenich What’s it About? During the fall of 1918, the influenza pandemic crosses the nation and reaches the mining town of Butte, Montana. What a beautiful way to describe how a deadly virus permeates a community: “A tiny wisp of something rounds the air in his lungs and multiplies. It finds its way to his blood and bones. He doesn’t know he carries the fatal germ. He has no way of knowing that somewhere in the mine or on the street or in the newly opened taverns, the smallest of small creatures has landed on his…

The river Wharfe in Ilkley was England’s first bathing riverPaul Ellis/AFP via Getty Images There are close to 1500 rivers in the UK, but just two stretches have been officially approved as swimming destinations – and even these are currently too polluted to use safely. While campaigners hope that other rivers will soon receive this “bathing status” designation, some fear the label is misleading, as there are few requirements to clean up pollution that can harm health and the local ecology. Environmental matters are devolved in the UK, meaning the UK government oversees bathing waters in England, while Scotland, Wales and Northern…

If you’re going to remake Lilo & Stitch as a live-action movie, audiences are inevitably going to compare the new cast to the old one — especially whoever plays the voice of the chaotic and irrepressible Stitch. One guy has pretty much voiced Stitch in all of his appearances, from the original movie to its direct-to-video sequels to its spinoff TV show: Chris Sanders, who was also the co-writer and co-director of the original Lilo & Stitch movie.While you might have assumed Disney would simply bring Sanders back to play Stitch, the live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch has been in development for a long time, and…

Characters are finally moving forward following Billy’s death. But All American Season 5 Episode 19 revealed that these changes will impact those closest to them. What isn’t at all evident is what this will mean for next season on The CW’s only renewed script series. Where to start? Where to start? How about Olivia, who has been vying with Spencer recently for the title of “most rudderless character.” Understandably, those two are grieving because they lost their father/father figure.

CLIMATEWIRE | A record-breaking heat wave in the western Mediterranean last month would have been nearly impossible without the influence of climate change, new research finds. And even with the help of global warming, it was an extraordinary event. Statistically speaking, a heat wave of its magnitude should only have about a 1-in-400 chance of occurring in any given year. That’s the latest report from World Weather Attribution, a science initiative that investigates the links between climate change and extreme weather events. It’s the organization’s fastest study yet, released just a week after the Mediterranean heat wave subsided. The event was an early…

Pierced deer tooth discovered from Denisova Cave in southern Siberia that yielded ancient human DNA. Credit: Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology Artifacts made of stone, bones or teeth provide important insights into the subsistence strategies of early humans, their behavior and culture. However, until now it has been difficult to attribute these artifacts to specific individuals, since burials and grave goods were very rare in the Paleolithic. This has limited the possibilities of drawing conclusions about, for example, division of labor or the social roles of individuals during this period. In order to directly link cultural objects to specific…
