If there’s something author Jesse Q. Sutanto does well, it is creating diverse reads with engaging characters and fun-filled stories. Her most notable recent release, Dial A For Aunties (Berkley), a cheeky comedy with edge, and her YA romances including Well That Was Unexpected (Delacorte Press), show that Sutanto can tackle any genre and theme with expertise. Sutanto grew up between Jakarta and Singapore, got her Masters in Creative Writing at University of Oxford and, ever since then, has been passionate about writing about diverse characters. She has especially focused on strong female characters, a lot of which represent women…

They bring together connections, financial and tax expertise, status, access, and a few famous names—including the entertainment scion Abigail Disney. Actor Mark Ruffalo is a signatory on the recent “Cost of Extreme Wealth” open letter that was delivered to the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting this January. Phil White, a British former consultant and engineer, added a classic campaigning tactic to his Davos trip: holding up a cardboard sign saying “Tax the Rich.” There’s also increasing coordination with Taxmenow in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and the Copenhagen-based Millionaires for Humanity.On both sides of the Atlantic, the Patriotic Millionaires are notable…

Why does one song soar to the top of the charts while another plummets? The anatomy of a hit remains a stubborn mystery that researchers and the music industry at large have been longing to solve. A new study suggests that the secret to distinguishing a hit lies in the brains of listeners—and that artificial intelligence can analyze physiological signals to reveal that secret. But other “hit song science” researchers aren’t ready to declare victory just yet. Researchers from Claremont Graduate University used a wearable, smartwatchlike device to track the cardiac responses of people listening to music. They used an algorithm…

Good morning! Top o’ the orbit to you! At 8:06 P.M. UTC (4:06 P.M. EDT) on July 6, 2023, Earth will reach the point in its orbit when it’s farthest from the sun. In a sense, it’s like our planet will be at the top of a gravitational hill and will then begin to fall toward the sun until January 2, 2024, when it will reach its closest point. Then the cycle will begin anew, with Earth’s momentum taking it farther away from the sun until the next time the planet reaches its maximum distance once again. This cycle happens…
David Bell likes to write about families. Their intricacies and complexities. Their secrets. Their lies. “Family is universal,” he says. “Everyone is in a family. Even if you’re estranged. Even if you never see them. Most people’s lives are not really that exciting — and most of the time our drama and conflict comes from family situations. A divorce. An affair. It’s all ripe material for writers.” Particularly for thriller novelists. That’s certainly the case in Bell’s 16th novel, Try Not to Breathe, in which family is at the heart. A pretty messy family, at that. Just prior to when…
Representing people in a court of law would be much easier if all you did was stand before a judge, plead your case, and hope for the best. When someone else on the other side is just as determined, if not more, to see you fail, it becomes a bit harder. You must master balancing your defense and not provoking prosecution too much. Mickey got a bit cocky on The Lincoln Lawyer Season 2 Episode 5 and jeopardized his entire case, thanks to an expert witness testimony. But before the showdown in the courtroom, the opener gave a glimpse of where Mickey…

Be Your Own Pet have released the new single “Goodtime!,” the latest to come off their highly-anticipated third studio album Mommy. Stream it below. With the band having recently reunited after 15 years, the vivacious “Goodtime!” follows previous singles “Hand Grenade” and “Worship the Whip,” which all prove that the time spent away from the spotlight hasn’t diminished Be Your Own Pet’s liveliness. It’s instrumentally as raucous as the video that accompanies it, with quick bursts of raw punches backed by garage-like clamors that fully encapsulate classic punk rock energy. Lyrically, the song has a more serious, yet entirely relatable,…

Heat pumps collect heat from outside air and concentrate it in homesMichal-Rojek/iStockphoto/Getty Images A new Swedish company called Aira will start selling heat pumps in the UK, Germany and Italy this year for a monthly fee instead of installation costs. Around 10 per cent of European greenhouse gas emissions are from home heating. Heat pumps are a key route to decarbonisation, but the high costs of installation are a major factor deterring consumers. “We want to take the Swedish example and turbocharge it,” Harald Mix of Vargas, the parent company setting up Aira, told a press conference in Stockholm.Advertisement Sweden…
The Lützerath coal mine deal was personally announced by Habeck, one of the most successful Green Party politicians of his generation, who now sits in the top levels of German government as deputy chancellor. Habeck might be the subject of distrust among activists, but within the country at large, he’s popular. He’s helped the Greens appeal to a much broader electorate than its environmental base, says Peter Matuschek, CEO of German pollster Forsa. This is a shift for a party that has its roots in Germany’s anti-nuclear protests of the 1980s. “But this more pragmatic style the party has adopted…
Earlier this month, Nicki Minaj revealed that she’d release a new album on October 20.

Back in my beauty counter days, probably my most frequently requested product recommendation for customers with mature skin was for tinted moisturiser. Most people, upon experiencing the changes that come with skin ageing—loose skin, fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation—sought something lighter than foundation, and wanted a product with skincare benefits, but didn’t want to compromise when it came to coverage.If you’re on the hunt for a base product for mature skin and that sounds something like the checklist you have in mind, then forget foundation, because a tinted moisturiser is the answer. They’re essentially skincare-makeup hybrids, with the skin tone–evening, concealing and brightening properties…

Bree and Roger MacKenzie (Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin) are living happily ever after in 20th Century Scotland (Well, for now. This is Outlander after all!) In the latest Inside Outlander aftershow, we talked with the actors about Episode 3, which featured the welcome delivery of a box of centuries-old letters from Bree’s parents Claire and Jamie (Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan) chronicling what happened after the MacKenzies left the 1700s and traveled through the stones. “The more [Bree] reads the letters, to live the life through them — it’s a rebirth of her parents,” Skelton says. “It’s wonderful because…

Guns N’ Roses‘ recent performance at the Glastonbury festival received multiple negative reviews, and now the band has responded to the bad press. GN’R highlighted two reviews from major UK publications in particular: one by music critic Neil McCormick of The Telegraph subtitled “Welcome to the Mumble” and an even harsher piece by The Independent’s Mark Beaumont that called GN’R “frontrunners for the worst Glasto headline set of all time.” Beaumont pulled no punches, writing that Axl Rose “flips between a lower register that resembles a clogged lawnmower and a higher one that sounds like Barry Gibb suffering the mother…
Netflix‘s The Witcher has had its fair share of criticism over the years for its drastic divergence from Andrzej Sapkowski‘s beloved series of novels. While the criticisms have ranged from warranted to unfair as Season 2 diverged even further than the first, fans hoped that Season 3 might correct the series’ course a bit. This is especially true since this is Witcher superfan Henry Cavill‘s final season as Geralt of Rivia. Only the first five episodes of Season 3 have debuted, but they haven’t managed to capture my interest. Cavill still excels as Geralt and I have no real issues…
London saw high temperatures on 9 June 2023Guy Corbishley/Alamy Spiking temperatures in the world’s oceans and the arrival of El Niño weather conditions in the Pacific mean that 2023 is shaping up to be the hottest year on record, with researchers saying the planet is entering “uncharted territory”. The previous hottest year on record was 2016, which is also when the world was last in a warming El Niño weather pattern (although some agencies say 2020 also tied for the top spot). Now, temperature records this month suggest 2023 could be tracking close to 2016. The first 11 days of…
