Though Cardi B wowed everyone on the 2023 Met Gala red carpet in a Chenpeng Studio gown, she actually wore two other looks throughout the course of the night that few public onlookers saw. That’s right: Cardi B wore not one, not two, but three separate looks for the 2023 Met Gala. Leaving The Mark Hotel before the event even started, she wore a Miss Sohee pink bustier gown with a tulle headpiece that poofed out from behind her like a halo. Though she changed into her widely seen Chenpeng Studio gown before hitting the red carpet, she slipped into…

True.We’re bookended by it. Our borders are defined by violent institutions. By that I mean, on the internal side we have a very extremely robust industrial prison complex, which imprisons more people per capita than any other nation in the world. And on the external side, we have the largest military in the world. I don’t think it’s even radical to say those are both violent institutions. I can’t imagine them not being. And they are some of our biggest institutions, but also in the context of the entire planet. Exactly. I think of the way we’re fed entertainment, and sometimes…
[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Yellowjackets, Season 2 Episode 8, “It Chooses.”] After a riveting first season filled with sonic callbacks to the ’90s, Season 2 of Showtime’s Yellowjackets kicked off with a similarly wistful tone, thanks to the new trailer, spotlighting Florence and the Machine’s cover of No Doubt’s “Just a Girl.” Season 1 of the series took viewers back to 1996 when a young group of soccer players survives a plane crash and the aftermath forced the characters to deal with a string of psychologically unfortunate events. Considering when the story starts, music from the era is…

A red-tailed hawk in the Koreatown section of Los Angeles. A UCLA-led study concluded that there would be dramatic loss of diversity among bird species unless there are practical plans to preserve it. Credit: Nurit Katz/UCLA As cities gobble up natural spaces, some birds have learned to live alongside skyscrapers, traffic and noise—and large numbers of humans. A UCLA-led team of biologists wondered if those city-dwelling birds share common characteristics around the world that help them survive. In a paper published in Current Biology, they reveal the answer: Urban bird species tend to be smaller and less territorial and have…

One of those things you know based on a vibe but not necessarily by definition. So, for my own education and yours, I tried to nail down exactly what the existential horror genre entails. According to Game Rant, the genre explores human existence and the purpose of life, turning the anxieties and fears that come with the contemplation of those types of things. What does that mean in reality?…
The revamped CW will have some genre programming, after all. On Thursday, the network picked up a sequel to the TNT series The Librarians.

The new series centers on a “Librarian” from the past, who time traveled to the present and now finds himself stuck here. When he returns to his castle, which is now a museum, he inadvertently releases magic across the continent. He is given…
A light micrograph of a brain organoidNIAID, NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY The study of tiny spheres of human brain cells grown in a dish, known as organoids, is currently one of the hottest fields in neuroscience, with the potential to shed light on human brain development and neurological conditions. Now, computer scientists are hooking them up to electrodes in the hope of creating a new kind of artificial intelligence, based on biology. Brett Kagan at Cortical Labs in Melbourne, Australia, says his firm’s first goal for the emerging idea of “organoid intelligence” is … Read The Full Article…
While the 2023 Met Gala red carpet saw a slip of leg or an unexpected cutout here or there, the afterparty is the time for stars to debut sultrier styles. Many celebrities work with the same fashion house they chose for the ball, opting for only minor tweaks on their initial outfit (think: spliced hemlines or a coord set in a similar material). Some of the most notable afterparty changes include Kendall Jenner, who traded her Marc Jacobs bodysuit for a sultry Nensi Dojaka playsuit covered in sequins, with an exposed thong decal; Kylie Jenner, who swapped her colorblock coordinates…
While the material is not expressly religious, it is clearly aimed at painting same-sex marriage as aberrant and immoral behavior. Physicians lobbied by the group are also told to urge patients to purchase Christian-based parenting guides, including one designed to help parents broach the topic of sex with their 11- and 12-year-old kids. The College suggests telling parents to plan a “special overnight trip,” a pretext for instilling in their children sexual norms in line with evangelical practice. The group suggests telling parents to buy a tool called a “getaway kit,” a series of workbooks that run around $54 online.…

Yet another nostalgic favorite from the 1990s is back with the upcoming debut of Tiny Toons Looniversity, an update of the early ’90s animated series Tiny Toon Adventures. The original series, which produced just under 100 episodes from 1990 to 1992, was an attempt to add a new generation of characters to the Looney Tunes library, with a crew of young cartoons, all loosely inspired by Looney Tunes favorites — like Buster and Babs Bunny after Bugs Bunny, and Plucky Duck after Daffy Duck, and Montana Max after Yosemiti Sam, and so on — all attending “Acme Looniversity” where they study under the original Looney Tunes characters, who…

The tributes continue to pour in for General Hospital star Jacklyn Zeman, who sadly passed away on Wednesday, May 10, with many of her current and former co-stars sharing their condolences. General Hospital legend Anthony Geary, who played Zeman’s brother Luke Spencer on-screen up until 2015 when he retired, expressed his heartache over his friend’s passing. “For 40 years, I was fortunate enough to play Jackie Zeman’s big brother on General Hospital. In all those years, I never heard her utter one disparaging word about any actor, crew member, or co-worker. In fact, I never heard Jackie express an unkind…
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Biodiversity is an essential factor for ecosystem health and productivity. The number of species in an ecosystem has previously been found to positively correlate with forest productivity (the volume of tree and plant species able to grow in the forest.) However, a new paper published in Journal of Ecology provides evidence at a global scale that the number of species present in a forest (species richness), is not sufficient enough to measure the effect of biodiversity on forest productivity. Biodiversity is a product of species richness, but also the relative abundance of species in the plot…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write 1377 Rikoppe Lane? I love writing and the story just began to tell itself in my head and I had to write it down. Sometimes my writing is a conscious will, and at other times the stories are asking to be written. Characters call out and I must write them. This is what happened here. I love thriller, ghostly, haunting fiction, and everything Victorian, especially homes, so 1377 Rikoppe Lane was born! All my stories involve healing, relationships, and lovable characters and animals mixed with a macabre, faux historical…
It’s not just the fans mourning the cancelation of Kung Fu, as the show’s lead star, Olivia Liang, took to Instagram on Thursday, May 11, to share her heartbreak over the end of the series. “It has been the honor of my f****** life to work with this group of humans,” Liang wrote alongside a slideshow of photos from The CW show. “We made a historic three seasons of a show. First predominantly Asian cast in a one hour network drama. First Asian American female showrunner. I don’t have enough words (or room in this carousel) to express my gratitude…

CLIMATEWIRE | Never has a swamp white oak thrived in the Superior National Forest. The lower Great Lakes? Sure. Even Missouri and Kentucky. But the cold weather forest in northern Minnesota is a place where only the hardiest trees can survive winter: black spruce, jack pine and quaking aspen, to name a few. Rising temperatures, however, are changing that equation. And it’s prompted scientists to consider whether certain warm weather trees could find a new home in the 3-million-acre forest, which itself is expected to heat up over the next several decades. One possibility? Swamp oak. It’s a candidate species for…

When we think of fantasy and science fiction novels, one of the first things that probably comes to mind is the trope of the young chosen one or the adolescent hero just hearing the call to go on a dangerous journey. It’s the classic hero’s journey of SFF. But science fiction and fantasy don’t have to center only young people. Older adults can answer the call to adventure just as easily as the younger ones. And in these 10 novels, it’s middle-aged protagonists…

Many animals have evolved to tolerate extreme environments, including being able to survive crushing pressures of ocean trenches, unforgiving heat of deserts, and limited oxygen high in the mountains. These animals are often highly specialized to live in these specific environments, limiting them from moving to new locations. Yet, there are rare examples of species that once lived in harsh environments but have since colonized more temperate settings. Angel Rivera-Colón, a former graduate student now postdoc in the lab of Julian Catchen (CIS/GNDP), an associate professor in the department of Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign,…
