Happy pride month everyone!June is the commemorative LGBTQIA+ Pride Month, in honor of the Stonewall Riots that occurred in June of 1969. The uprising was in response to a police raid that occurred in Greenwich Village, N.Y., and is considered the single most important event to spark the gay liberation movement.It’s been 54 years since the riots took place, and while progress has been made, the LGBTQIA+ community has suffered a great deal of oppression while fighting to be seen as equals – they still do today.READ MORE: The Truth About Sexuality in Rock + MetalIn honor of celebrating pride month,…

Spoiler Warning: This article contains spoilers for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and speculation about the possible ending of The Flash, based on the comic Flashpoint. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was, like its 2018 predecessor, a masterpiece. A breathtaking visual feast, it is a love letter to comics, animation, New York City, Spider-Man, superheroes in general, and everyone who loves them. I could see it a hundred times and never get sick of it. But one of the things that struck me about the film was the way that it subverts and outright defies one of my very least favorite tropes…
[Obviously, major spoilers follow.] Brutal. Bloody. Big-hearted. In an extraordinary week for much-anticipated series finales, three Emmy-winning shows found their own distinctive ways to take a last bow: two from HBO — one an acclaimed drama of dynastic conflict, the other a perverse fable of violent retribution in the shadow of Hollywood — and the third from Apple’s streaming upstart, a charming sports comedy saturated in sweetness. Of the three, the most likely to be remembered in the pantheon of all-time great finales is HBO’s Succession, the brilliant but bleak masterpiece of media mendacity from Jesse Armstrong. Often compared to…
A new tool which could help reduce the spread of antimicrobial resistance is showing early promise, through exploiting a bacterial immune system as a gene editing tool. Antimicrobial resistance is a major global threat, with nearly five million deaths annually resulting from antibiotics failing to treat infection, according to the World Health Organisation. Bacteria often develop resistance when resistant genes are transported between hosts. One way that this occurs is via plasmids — circular strands of DNA, which can spread easily between bacteria, and swiftly replicate. This can occur in our bodies, and in environmental settings, such as waterways. The…

On the evening of Turkey’s most significant elections of the past two decades, Can Semercioğlu went to bed early. For the past seven years, Semercioğlu has worked for Teyit, the largest independent fact-checking group in Turkey, but that Sunday, May 14, was surprisingly one of the quietest nights he remembers at the organization.Before the vote, opinion polls had suggested that incumbent president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was losing support due to devastating earthquakes in southeastern Turkey that killed nearly 60,000 people and a struggling economy. However, he still managed to secure just under 50 percent of the vote. His main opponent, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who…

The CALorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET), aboard the Kibo’s Exposed Facility (EF) of the International Space Station, has been on a mission to measure the flux of cosmic ray particles since 2015. In a new study, an international team of researchers report the results of a direct measurement of the cosmic ray helium spectrum using the data collected by CALET. In contrast to the single power-law that was previously believed to exist, analysis of the flux data collected between 2015 and 2022 reveals that the energy distribution of cosmic ray helium nuclei follows a Double Broken Power Law. Much of our…

Former That ’70s Show star Danny Masterson has been convicted for two counts of forcible rape and faces a possible sentence of 30 years to life for the two charges. There was a third rape charge that the jury could not reach a verdict on, deadlocking with a vote of 8-4 in favor of conviction. According to Variety, when the guilty verdicts were read, Masterson’s family let out an audible gasp from the audience. The actor was accused of raping three women in his Hollywood Hills home between 2001 and 2003, with the jury convicting him for the latter. They…
Scientists perform computational simulations for biological molecules detected in meteorites to clarify the origin of life on Earth. All biological amino acids on Earth appear exclusively in their left-handed form, but the reason underlying this observation is elusive. Recently, scientists from Japan uncovered new clues about the cosmic origin of this asymmetry. Based on the optical properties of amino acids found on the Murchison meteorite, they conducted physics-based simulations, revealing that the precursors to the biological amino acids may have determined the amino acid chirality during the early phase of galactic evolution. If you look at your hands, you will…

It’s the first question you ask when you’ve hear they made another Fast & Furious movie. Not “Who’s in it?” or “What’s the story this time?” or “What is the silly title of this one?”Okay, you probably ask that last one too, but the key question you want to know right away is: “What ridiculous stunt do they attempt this time?”Indeed, no franchise is more closely associated with pleasantly impossible action than Fast & Furious. While the series might have humble roots — 2001’s The Fast and the Furious was really just a Point Break knockoff set in the world of underground street racing rather than…

Most living creatures exhibit a circadian rhythm, an internal clock that repeats around every 24 hours. Now, researchers from Japan have found new details about the molecular processes that govern sleep/wake rhythms in mice. In a recently published study, researchers from the University of Tsukuba have revealed that a key molecule involved in sleep homeostasis (called SIK3 or salt-inducible kinase 3) also plays a critical role in circadian behavior. Animals are able to adapt to the 24-hour cycle of light and dark in terms of both behavior and physiology via changes in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which is the brain’s…

Harrison Ford has reportedly joined the cast of Captain America: New World Order. As per Deadline, the Indiana Jones star will play Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, opposite Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson. The news comes after recent rumours with The Ankler’s Jeff Sneider claiming that Ford will take over the role from the late William Hurt as the blustering General. Hurt passed away earlier this year, after being diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer in 2018. Captain America: New World Order is the penultimate entry in Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and is slated to release in cinemas in May 2024.Marvel…
The many types of cells in the human body are produced through the process of differentiation, in which stem cells are converted to more specialized types. Currently, it is challenging for researchers to control the differentiation of stem cells in the lab (in vitro). Of particular interest are oocytes, which are female germ cells that develop into eggs. Understanding their development could have far-ranging impacts, from infertility treatment to conservation of endangered species. A new study by a Japanese team of researchers led by Dr. Mitinori Saitou has successfully induced meiotic (dividing) oocytes from the embryonic stem cells of cynomolgus…
Taylor Swift’s new deluxe version of Midnights is out now. As previously reported, it comes with two new songs: a new remix of “Karma” with Ice Spice and an extended version “Snow on the Beach,” featuring more contributions from Lana Del Rey.According to Del Rey, Swift originally asked her to sing the entire second verse of the original version of “Snow on the Beach.” “My job as a feature on a big artist’s album is to make sure I help add to the production of the song, so I was more focused on the production,” she told Billboard. “She was…
When it was first announced, the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel was supposed to be a whole new frontier in Disney vacations, giving hardcore Star Wars fans a chance to live within the universe of their beloved franchise for several days, while enjoying a totally immersive experience with dining, attractions, and a visit to Walt Disney World’s Star Wars theme park, Galaxy’s Edge.Barely over a year after it first opened, the Starcruiser is now closing. Disney announced today that the final “trips” on the Starcruiser will “sail” in September. (The hotel is designed to act like it’s an enormous cruise ship in space.)Here was what the…
Why Did 19 Publishers Pass On “Trial”?: Bestselling author Richard North Patterson couldn’t find a publisher to handle his gripping new suspense novel Trial.

To many people, the sugars we eat may seem like a luxury that can do more harm than good. But now, researchers from Japan have discovered that in insects, dietary sugars play a key role in reproduction. In a study published recently in Science Advances, a research group led by the University of Tsukuba has revealed for the first time that fructose, which is metabolized from dietary sugar such as glucose, is needed for enhanced egg production in fruit flies. The production and successful development of eggs in organisms depend on the availability of nutrients, because oocytes (the cells that…
If I had to highlight only one term that has the power to make a beauty editor shudder unlike any other, it would have to be “anti-ageing”. Because the truth is (and brace yourselves for this one), no beauty product truly has the power to totally reverse the signs of ageing. No serum, cream, oil or mask that money can buy can actually eradicate wrinkles. With that being said, there are a very small number of ingredients that can definitely help minimise signs of ageing (and even more so when they’re used alongside youth-preserving massage techniques). But when I say very small, I mean it.…
PDD’s push into the US with Temu is costing it a lot, and angering some of its suppliers, but it’s born of necessity. As Chinese customers spend less, other giant ecommerce companies are pushing into Pinduoduo’s core markets, selling unbranded goods and trying to capture a less wealthy demographic. That means the company has to look overseas. “Exploring the US market is the best, and probably the only strategy Pinduoduo could use, when facing an saturated and overly competitive domestic market,” Si says.But the US market isn’t just hard; it’s increasingly risky for Chinese companies.Temu currently takes advantage of a…
