It must be a daunting task to try to prank pop music’s reigning troll, but Eric Andre sure gave it his best shot. Lil Nas X had quite the visit at The Eric Andre Show, as you can see from a sneak-peek clip of the upcoming Season 6 premiere episode (via Rolling Stone). Complete with a saucy new hairdo and decór reminiscent of an ’80s porno set, Andre welcomed Lil Nas X with a roar of audience applause and a jingle from the in-house band. The pair hardly had a moment to chat before a strange, screaming presence began bulging…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Timeborne? Ever since I was a little girl, I was constantly telling stories to my friends and family. When I got older, I became obsessed with books and reading. I was able to escape reality and read about different places and people. When I turned sixteen I wanted to write my own book and started plotting out my favorite themes and tropes, and that’s how I created my time traveling series. What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write? My favorite…
Ever since Madison Clark popped back up after most characters thought she was dead, I wondered how the series would handle her reunions with the people from her past. Fear the Walking Dead Season 8 Episode 3 was a satisfying hour of this Walking Dead spinoff because it had a clear focus, many reunions, and significant shifts that will drive the final three episodes of the first half of Fear the Walking Dead Season 8. We’ll start with Madison and June. Kim Dickens and Jenna Elfman are two of the finest actors, and they managed to deliver the raw emotion…
Graphical abstract. Credit: Science of The Total Environment (2023). DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.163425 Traditional plastic, based on fossil oil, has flooded the Earth and there is microplastic in all living things. This has led to intensive research for alternatives that decompose faster in nature. Bio-based polymers based on cane sugar are one such option. The most common bioplastic is poly-L-lactide (PLA), which is used in 3D printers, textiles, food packaging, disposable cutlery and other applications. Bioplastics also have a negative impact on biological life. Doctoral student Azora König Kardgar at the University of Gothenburg has found that the behavior of small perch…
Photography by Getty Images When in Cannes, ’do as the French ’do. By Lauren Knowles Date May 25, 2023 To bang, or not to bang — that is always the question. Bangs often get a bad rap. It’s easy to get scissor-happy and snip away at our fringe until it winds up too short…or in a regrettable bowl cut. You either love ’em or hate ’em, but there’s no denying a solid set of bangs when you spot them. RELATED: Dyson Debuts the Airstrait, a Revolutionary Wet-to-dry Hair Straightener This summer, when it comes to bangs our vote is a…
Hotta found, to his surprise, that a simple sequence of events could, in fact, induce the quantum vacuum to go negative—giving up energy it didn’t appear to have. “First I thought I was wrong,” he said, “so I calculated again, and I checked my logic. But I could not find any flaw.”The trouble arises from the bizarre nature of the quantum vacuum, which is a peculiar type of nothing that comes dangerously close to resembling a something. The uncertainty principle forbids any quantum system from settling down into a perfectly quiet state of exactly zero energy. As a result, even…
Metallica’s 11th album 72 Seasons is finally here, and the members of the band have shared a video breaking down the record track-by-track, giving their take on each one and what makes them special.By now, most Metallica fans have probably heard the album in full at lease once, and others, perhaps many more than once.

Perfectly Imperfectly YOU by Jamie James The drive for perfectionism is something all of us have faced, and children are no exception to the rule. Social norms play a huge role in kids’ lives, from the school to the playground and even in online spaces. But fitting in is a lot easier said than done, and often comes at the cost of children embracing their authentic selves. The question is, how do you assure your little one that being ‘outside the norm’ is perfectly normal? Author Jamie James has the answer in the charming and empowering story Perfectly Imperfectly YOU. This story in verse encourages…

Finally, there was a case resembling one from the Blacklist, and it was good. Raymond continued his amends tour with Siya in tow on The Blacklist Season 10, Episode 14. Elsewhere, the team worked on a peculiar case involving brides and disappearing husbands. The Congressman Hudson threat took a backseat at this hour, giving other storylines a chance to develop. That was a good decision because Hudson has been all bite and no bark. It was starting to get boring. It became clear that Raymond was on an unburdening mission on The Blacklist Season 10, Episode 13, when he sold all…

On May 24, scientists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) began an 18-month campaign to detect the most distant collisions between black holes and neutron stars ever observed.”We’re very excited,” said Michael Landry, head of LIGO Hanford Observatory.Thanks to upgrades, LIGO’s detectors are now so sensitive they can measure gravitational waves — ripples in the fabric of space-time first predicted by Albert Einstein — emitted from colliding black holes in galaxies more than 5 billion light-years from Earth.The hunt for gravitational waves will be extended into a worldwide effort. Later in the campaign, LIGO’s two U.S. facilities in Hanford,…
The Quiet Tenant by Clemence Michallon What’s it About? A pulse-pounding psychological thriller about a serial killer narrated by those closest to him. He told me about her before we moved.

Succession Season 4 Episode 10 found Logan’s legacy to be three broken children at each other’s throats, with more pain between them than any of them really deserve. It’s one of the Disgusting Brothers a the top, and the king has his queen. Who woulda thunk it? The GoJo deal fell apart relatively quickly in the eyes of the Roy siblings when Matsson did what Kendall had promised to do and shivved the Shiv. It was never going to be Shiv at the top, and who could blame Matsson for pulling…
Solvated dielectrons are the subject of many hypotheses among scientists, but have never been directly observed. They are described as a pair of electrons that is dissolved in liquids such as water or liquid ammonia. To make space for the electrons a cavity forms in the liquid, which the two electrons occupy. An international research team around Dr. Sebastian Hartweg, initially at Synchrotron SOLEIL (France), now at the Institute of Physics at the University of Freiburg and Prof. Dr. Ruth Signorell from ETH Zurich, including scientists from the synchrotron SOLEIL and Auburn University (US) has now succeeded in discovering a…
If we break it down, it’s easy to see why this simple pairing is so effective. With the birds chirping and flowers blooming, spring is most definitely creeping in (whether the weather is ready to accept it or not). Trench coats are a staple for Londoners at this time of year, as a lightweight yet waterproof style that lends itself to those slightly warmer days that can turn suddenly dampen. So, trench coat for spring = tick. But Jenner’s outfit formula has piqued our interest because of the elegant knee-high boot addition. This gives the look an elevated edge could…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Nonbinary? I’ve always been fascinated by the limitless potential of artificial intelligence and the future of human relationships with it. Over time, this fascination has grown into a burning curiosity – what if we could develop a conscious, intelligent AI, so advanced that it could not just understand human emotions but feel them and respond in kind? The possibility of an AI companion that could comprehend us on a profound level, always understand our needs, communicate with unparalleled clarity, and constantly adapt to keep the relationship dynamic and fulfilling,…
