I’m a beauty editor, so it’s part of my job to trial and document the eye creams that blast away dark circles and the serums that revive dull skin. While these lotions and potions get us to the finish line, everyone knows that the real driver behind bright under-eyes and plump skin is adequate sleep.While I have a seemingly endless number of products that can place a Band-Aid over a bigger issue, I know enough about the human body to recognize that I’ll never achieve the complexion, energy, or metabolism I desire until my sleep quality improves. But as someone…
I’m already growing hoarse in Golden Gate Park as Charli XCX takes the stage at a San Francisco music festival. The crowd starts jumping as a guitar hook hits, and I reluctantly comply, bouncing around on these aging knees as my chunky Puff necklace almost flies off the chain.During a lull in the set, someone next to me compliments the necklace, which has stainless steel swirls and a bulbous orange center. Their eyes grow wide as I flip the cap off and explain that it’s a hidden USB flash drive—I plugged the Puff into my phone to show off the…

Four lemurs that had close contact with people, including one via a “lemur yoga” class, caught a human herpesvirus and subsequently died, a new study shows.The virus at fault was herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), which is extremely common in humans. In people, the infection usually causes no symptoms or produces cold sores. In primates, though, the infections can often be deadly — in this case, all four lemurs developed encephalitis, or inflammation of the brain, and died.This is the first time that an HSV-1 infection has been confirmed in lemurs via a molecular analysis — namely, PCR tests…
NBC In 1967, Julie Newmar — who was already well known for her slinky portrayal of Catwoman on another hit 1960s TV show, “Batman” — beamed her way into the 2nd season of the original “Star Trek” series. Her character made it to the end of her episode, too. But if writer D.C. Fontana had her way, that ending would have been far more tragic. In “Friday’s Child,” Captain Kirk (William Shatner), Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley) must protect Eleen, the pregnant widow of Capella IV’s slain…

Though they haven’t made a hit in 25 years, Sugar Ray has never really gone away in the minds of millennials like Julia Jacklin, who grew up on Mark McGrath and co.’s indelible late ‘90s alt-rock-and-pop blend. That’s why the Australian singer-songwriter decided to cover the band’s single “Every Morning” for Triple J. Check out her slightly more downtempo version below.“I’ve liked it since I was a little kid,” Jacklin says about the track. “I love any way to connect with my younger self as much as I can. I feel like we were singing it together: me now, and…

Hulu THE PERFORMER | Lola Petticrew THE SHOW | Hulu’s “Furious” THE EPISODE | “Pick a Sticker” (August 10, 2026) THE PERFORMANCE | For much of Hulu’s “Furious” thus far, serial killer Catherine has seemed largely unflappable. She knows the men on whom she wants to exact revenge — all men who abused her, in some form, in her youth — and she’s hardly flinched while leading each of them to their demise. But Catherine’s cool exterior has been masking a hurt and haunted young woman, and Lola Petticrew spent…
Recently, I went to see Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey in beautiful 70 mm at the Filmhouse here in Edinburgh. I was completely blown away by its scale, ambition and visual beauty, but I was also troubled by its relationship to Homer’s original text, the changes to the story, to Odysseus’ character, and to key elements of the plot.Then I saw it again, and something changed. The second time, I was able to put aside my expectations of what The Odyssey should be and see it on its own terms as Nolan’s version of this ancient story, reimagined for a new generation. I realised that my resistance the first time wasn’t really…

BERLIN — Archaeologists have finally determined which weapon caused mysterious square holes in the skulls of soldiers who died in the 1361 Battle of Visby. Close analysis of the bone fractures and cutting-edge motion-capture technology revealed that medieval combatants worked in groups to methodically incapacitate their opponents and then deliver a final, fatal blow with a spiked club.”We have to understand the complexity of medieval combat; it’s not a simple process,” Patrick Randolph-Quinney, a biological anthropologist at Uppsala University in Sweden, said in a research presentation Aug. 5 at the 25th European Paleopathology Association meeting in Berlin. The research has…
Disney/Hulu The Onyx Collective series “Deli Boys” has been canceled at Hulu after just two seasons, TVLine has confirmed. The series had been a priority for Onyx, which pushed for more cast members at the end of its freshman season.

The series later added a supporting cast that included Andrew Rannells, Kumail Nanjiani, Lilly Singh, Robin Thede, and Tan France, but following the second run’s low ratings, even those late additions couldn’t help it…

By Howard Bloom To understand why we are going crazy, you have to understand a basic principle. Parents love to trash the technologies their kid’s flash. In the 1990s, gory, blood and guts videogames were booming. And adults blamed those games for the violence and crime in society. In 1992 and 1993 there were Senate hearings about Mortal Kombat—a blood-drenched video game that urged you to outbattle an opponent then commanded you to “finish him’ and encouraged you to rip out his heart and tear off his head with his spinal cord still dangling. In 1997 came Grand Theft Auto,…
