Conversations about designer handbags typically revolve around one specific phrase: “It bags.” That saying has been less prominent recently, though, replaced by “quiet-luxury bags” that combine ease, subtlety, and quality craftsmanship without prominent logos. Such discussions are unfolding everywhere from our editor Slack channels to TikTok to The Wall Street Journal. But this isn’t to say that these bags are completely unidentifiable despite a lack of branding. Rather, they have details such as signature clasps and unique silhouettes that only astute fashion observers would recognise.Though there are a number of cult bags that fall into the camp of quiet luxury, Savette is a noteworthy newcomer.…

In the early 20th century, the psychoanalyst Carl Jung came up with the concept of the shadow—the human personality’s darker, repressed side, which can burst out in unexpected ways. Surprisingly, this theme recurs in the field of artificial intelligence in the form of the Waluigi Effect, a curiously named phenomenon referring to the dark alter-ego of the helpful plumber Luigi, from Nintendo’s Mario universe. Luigi plays by the rules; Waluigi cheats and causes chaos. An AI was designed to find drugs for curing human diseases; an inverted version, its Waluigi, suggested molecules for over 40,000 chemical weapons. All the researchers had to do,…
Jenny Lewis has readied a new album called Joy’All. The project is out today, June 9th, via her new label Blue Note/Capitol Records. A lot’s changed since Lewis’ last album, 2019’s On the Line — namely, a global pandemic that shut the world down and inspired the songwriter to approach music differently. Some songs on Joy’All predate COVID, while others came out of a world-class songwriting group Lewis joined, led by none other than Beck Hansen. “I started writing some of these songs on the road, pre-pandemic… and then put them aside as the world shut down, and then from my home in Nashville…

SCIENTIFIC revelations come from the unlikeliest of places. Like a rat, in a lab, doing a “downward dog” stretch. According to the people who found a way to get rats to do yoga, these creatures benefit from a good stretch as much as we do. In the process, they are revealing the true significance of a body tissue that has been overlooked by science for centuries. The 19th-century anatomist Erasmus Wilson called this tissue – now known as fascia – a natural bandage. In dissection, that is exactly what it looks like: sheets of white, fibrous connective tissue that are…

I come bearing good news for our lovely Who What Wear readers. Spring is officially only a few days away I am so unbelievably ready for it. My arms are fully outstretched and running at speed towards longer days, warmer weather, al fresco lunches, midi dresses, floral prints, fresh white trainers, lightweight layering, bare legs…I could go on. And around this time of year, it isn’t just my wardrobe that gets a little seasonal upgrade. I take the concept of a good spring clean to my skincare stash and swap out certain products for their more timely counterpart––as the days get longer…
It is allergy season once again. If you are one of the 81 million Americans with hay fever, spring is a mixed blessing. Yes, the days are longer, but they are accompanied by itchy eyes, runny noses, and an endless hunt for antihistamines. On days when the pollen count is highest, seasonal allergies are like an assault—from the outside world, but also from our own bodies’ immune systems going into overdrive.There are growing numbers of allergy sufferers, too. In 1997, around 0.4 percent of US children were reported to have a peanut allergy. By 2008 the figure was 1.4 percent. In the…
The rush in conservative states to ban abortion after the overturn of Roe v. Wade is resulting in a startling consequence that abortion opponents may not have considered: fewer medical services available for all women living in those states. Doctors are showing — through their words and actions — that they are reluctant to practice in places where making the best decision for a patient could result in huge fines or even a prison sentence. And when clinics that provide abortions close their doors, all the other services offered there also shut down, including regular exams, breast cancer screenings, and contraception. The…
Former Guns N’ Roses drummer Steven Adler admittedly had a rough time with drugs when he was both in and out of the rock band, as he discusses in his 2010 book, My Appetite for Destruction: Sex and Drugs and Guns N’ Roses. But now his younger half-brother, Jamie Adler, has revealed an extreme instance in which he kidnapped the rocker to try and help him kick his habit.The story unwinds in a three-part interview with Jamie that emerged this month, where he explains that, back in the halcyon days, the two were still close, with Jamie often visiting Steven…

PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF GETTY/MICHAEL FAUSTO Exploring the trick stylists have up their sleeves to make a movie come alive. By Natalie Michie Date May 16, 2023 Is Halle Bailey the real-life Ariel? Lately, it feels entirely possible. In light of Disney’s upcoming live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, starring Bailey as the underwater princess, the singer’s outfits have exclusively channelled oceanic imagery, siren aesthetics, and underwater dreaminess. Through this fashion worldbuilding, she has blurred the lines between reality and mythology — even kicking off mermaidcore, the micro trend of the summer. And it’s all because of one masterful styling trick:…
The Ledger Labs document said the tokens accessed by the hacker were associated with a generic “admin” email address and another linked to “giancarlo,” belonging to Bitfinex CFO and shareholder Giancarlo Devasini, a former Italian plastic surgeon with a checkered business history. The document did not lay blame for the hack with Devasini.Devasini did not respond to multiple requests for comment.The document said that storing multiple keys and tokens on a single device was “a violation of the CryptoCurrency Security Standard,” referring to an industry-led best-practice initiative, though it is unclear whether this specific device was the one compromised in…
The mental distress of cognitive dissonance — encountering information that conflicts with how we act or what we believe — can lead to added pressure on the neck and low back during lifting and lowering tasks, new research suggests. When study participants were told they were performing poorly in a precision lowering experiment in the lab, after initially being told they were doing well, their movements were linked to increased loads on vertebrae in their neck and low back. Results showed that the higher the cognitive dissonance score, the greater the extent of loading on the upper and lower parts…

Another highlight of the performance was her civil rights anthem “Mississippi Goddam,” which she debuted at Carnegie Hall two years earlier. Liner notes for You’ve Got to Learn were written by Shana L.…
In The Flash, we see that Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen needs to eat a ton of food in order to maintain super speed. If Barry doesn’t consume tons of calories, the Flash can’t run. This concept comes straight out of the comics, where DC speedsters like Barry Allen and Wally West have often struggled to fill their empty stomachs at the worst possible moments.That‘s just one of the many Easter eggs, DC references, and little details you might have missed in Andy Muschietti’s The Flash. We’ll point out the one spot where you can see Henry Cavill’s Superman, where Ezra Miller’s Flash got the idea to use that superhero…
Greater mouse tailed bat- a major migrant in Israel. Credit: Jens Rydell For the first time ever, researchers can track the movements of bats with the help of a brand new algorithm utilizing radar technology, created by the University of Haifa and Tel Aviv University. A new study, published in Methods in Ecology and Evolution, reveals that bats migrate across the globe just like birds. However, their migration patterns are vastly different. Thanks to a new algorithm, now available to researchers worldwide, we can now monitor the movement of bats in the vicinity of wind turbines. In turn, this will…

In an analysis of the Look AHEAD study, researchers from the Brigham and Joslin Diabetes Center found that participants who were physically active in the afternoon had greater reductions in blood sugar than those who were most active at other times of day. Over 37 million Americans have diabetes, and 90-95% of that population are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle interventions, such as a healthy diet and a regular physical activity program, are methods to manage diabetes.

The most complex concept every devised by humankind is the timeline of the Fast & Furious movies.How much time has passed for the characters of the Fast universe since we last saw them in 2011’s F9: The Fast Saga? I couldn’t tell you if my life depended on it. In that movie, Dominic Toretto’s son Brian looked like a toddler. In the new Fast X, he’s old enough to receive his first driving lesson from his dad. (The actor who plays Brian in Fast X, Leo Abelo Perry, is 10.)Okay. So maybe six years have passed? Maybe more? But it also seems like Fast X happens immediately after F9, since that movie concluded…

Her many tattoos were on full display, and her tousled hair spilled over her face in high-lighted waves. “You’re lonely now & I hate it,” she captioned the post.
