CBS is preparing for its upfronts presentation on Wednesday by announcing the fate of two of its bubble dramas. East New York and True Lies have been canceled after their freshman seasons and will wrap up for good this month. The Amanda Warren-led East New York ends its run on May 14, while True Lies will follow on May 17. Out of the two, East New York was the only one that really had a chance at renewal.

Open your favorite social media platform and note how many friends or followers you have. Specifically, note the first digit of this number. For example, if you have 400 friends, the leading digit is 4, and if you have 79, it’s 7. Let’s say we asked many people to do this. We might expect responses across the board, as common intuition suggests that friend counts should be somewhat random and therefore their leading digits should be too, treating 1 through 9 equally. Strangely, this is not what we would find. Instead, we would see a steep imbalance where nearly half…
Regardless of what year you came into this world, we can all learn a thing or two about style from our wiser fashion counterparts. These are the women who have lived to see generations worth of trends come and go and who have spent the better half of a lifetime honing in on what they can now claim as a strong sense of personal style. Since this group of women offers a wealth of knowledge, I was curious to know what kind of style lessons they can teach the rest of us, especially when it comes to a topic as timeless as denim.I spoke with two of…
Xbox Game Pass is one of the few subscriptions I’ve kept around while other services got the chop. The $15 monthly fee for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate feels worth it because I get to choose from over 100 titles and regularly download new additions. In a year, the cost breaks down to about the price of three AAA games.An Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription comes with access to EA Play and Xbox Live Gold. If you’re not interested in online multiplayer games, Microsoft offers a more budget-friendly tier that costs $10 a month. For gamers not on Xbox, PC Game…

The final episode of The Mandalorian Season 3 felt at times like the last episode of the show ever. Din Djarin formally adopted Grogu as his son, and the pair settled into a new home on the frontiers of Nevarro. Din and Grogu also left their Mandalorian covert and the former accepted a gig freelancing for the New Republic, working as a sort of mercenary bounty hunting good-guy.If we never saw Din and Grogu again, that would be a fairly satisfying end to their story. But nothing in Star Wars ever truly ends, does it? And series creator Jon Favreau has already said…

You’d think an hour about love would be more…cheerful? But this is 9-1-1, the series that excels in capturing the ups and downs of the human experience. So, just like in real life, not every proposal goes as planned, and maybe an unforeseen complication keeps you from getting to the church on time on the day of your wedding. 9-1-1 Season 6 Episode 17 was all about the many highs and lows of that little thing called love, and there were definitely some lows. For a penultimate episode, this one was uneventful in terms of setting us up for the…
Feeling like we have a degree of control makes us tolerate pain better. In the case of fibromyalgia, however, this simply doesn’t work. A study provides clues as to why. Fibromyalgia is a mysterious chronic pain disorder that is difficult to treat. Its causes are also still largely in the dark. A study conducted by the team at the Clinic for Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, provides evidence that certain brain areas involved in processing pain don’t function normally in fibromyalgia patients. In healthy people, they ensure that pain that we can control is easier to…
Of course, most would probably say they’d like to buy the classic Chanel 2.55 flap bag. The iconic piece was first created by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel herself when she got fed up of carrying her bag in her arms. To free herself up, she decided to borrow the idea of having straps, which she’d seen on a soldier’s bag. As per everything else Chanel created, it was a revolutionary take on the item, as up until that point, women carried their handbags. The 2.55 bag was launched in 1955, hence the name. However, it wasn’t until the ’80s, when Karl Lagerfeld took the…

This “electroadhesion” technique can stick all matter of materials together without any adhesives or glues. Credit: American Chemical Society If you’re a fan of arts and crafts, you’re likely familiar with the messy, sticky, frustration-inducing nature of liquid glues. But researchers reporting in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces now have a brand-new way to weld squishy stuff together without the need for glue at all. They’ve demonstrated a universal, “electroadhesion” technique that can adhere soft materials to each other just by running electricity through them. There’s a glue out there for almost any situation, whether it involves plastic, fabric, wood…
Dessert with Buddha by Roland Merullo It was not the first road trip he had taken with a Siberian monk. The first one, of course, was in Roland Merullo’s widely popular Breakfast with Buddha, in which New Yorker Otto Ringling reluctantly hooks up with his brother-in-law Volya Rinpoche, shares his thoughts and beliefs and gains new perspectives and appreciation for the world from this unorthodox traveling partner. Some 250,000 book sales later, Merullo followed his Breakfast bestseller with Lunch and Dinner versions of the Buddha experience. Now, in Dessert with Buddha, Otto and Rinpoche continue their journey across America —…
The Dallas spinoff Knots Landing landed on CBS in 1979 and aired 14 soapy seasons of hook-ups, break-ups, and shake-ups before signing off 30 years ago, on May 13, 1993. Four years later, however, fans were tangled up in Knots Landing drama once more with 1997’s two-part miniseries Knots Landing: Back to the Cul-de-Sac. (Then, of course, came the 2005 special, Knots Landing Reunion: Together Again.) And with the recent updates of Dallas and Dynasty (another ‘80s-era primetime soap), it’s only a matter of time before Knots Landing gets its own reboot with a new generation of Seaview Circle residents.…
Bumblebees spread behaviour through social learningRichard Becker / Alamy Stock Photo Bumblebees can teach each other how to solve a puzzle box, and they prefer the method their sisters teach them rather than those they learn on their own. This adds to evidence that these insects are capable of social learning, and they use it to share trends and sustain cultures over time. Researchers ran a series of experiments in which 10 colonies of buff-tailed bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) had to solve a puzzle box to access a sugary solution inside. There were two possible solutions – push a red lever…
Made complete with Don Julio Tequila, of course. By FASHION for Don Julio Date May 2, 2023 Tequila and Cinco de Mayo go hand-in-hand. As Mexico’s national spirit, tequila holds a special place in the country’s cultural heritage. It has evolved over time to represent Mexican pride and tradition and has even become a popular part of Cinco de Mayo celebrations. This annual celebration is held on May 5 to honour the victory of the Mexican army over French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. After 161 years, the deeper history behind Cinco de Mayo is not as…

Few of us will experience a week quite as eventful as what Ed Sheeran just sailed through. The singer and songwriter is accustomed to the limelight, occupying center stage. Last week, however, was a blur for Sheeran who, in quick succession, won a major court battle; released a new album, Subtract; then set about promoting his new music on national TV and in the round at U.S. stadiums. Sheeran faced the media outside the Manhattan Federal Court just last Thursday, where he had been accused of copying the chord structure of Marvin Gaye‘s 1973 classic “Let’s Get It On,” for…
The following post contains SPOILERS for The Mandalorian Season 3.Well it was certainly a season on The Mandalorian. A lot changed for our characters since we last saw them on The Book of Boba Fett. The Mandalorians reunited, they reclaimed Mandalore, Bo-Katan took back the leadership of her people, then she beat Moff Gideon (who was captured by the New Republic, then escaped, then cloned himself, then maybe died, but probably not since nobody really seems to die for long in Star Wars), and Mando and Grogu went off on their own once again to have adventures as freelancers for the New Republic.That’s what happened. But…

Since the outbreak of warfare in Ukraine, intelligence reporting from publicly available information, open-source intelligence (OSINT), has made a groundbreaking contribution in piercing the fog of war. Nevertheless, the rapidly growing OSINT community has ignored the ethics—the “should we’s” rather than the “what’s”—of publicly releasing wartime intelligence. Failure to grapple with these questions will cripple our understanding of Russia’s war on Ukraine, and may instead mislead the public. And it threatens unintended harm to civilians and investigators alike. Thanks to the growth of telecommunication in the 21st century, OSINT has quickly become an efficient tool to track terrorist communication, facilitate…
Photography by Getty Images Karl Lagerfeld may have been famously fatphobic, but body diversity got the last word. By Natalie Michie Date May 2, 2023 When it was announced that Karl Lagerfeld was the theme of the 2023 Met Gala, there was some understandable backlash about the late designer’s complicated legacy. Industry voices (including FASHION) pointed to Lagerfeld’s track record of vocalizing misogynistic, discriminatory, and, perhaps most reliably, fatphobic views. This is why, as stars graced the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, May 1, it became positively poetic that many of the best-dressed guests were those…
