The Soyuz spacecraft blasting off on 27 NovemberRoscosmos space corporation, via AP/Alamy The International Space Station (ISS) may soon become slightly less international. Russia’s only launch site capable of sending humans to orbit has suffered serious damage that could put it out of commission for two years. That would pose a dilemma for NASA: take on more costs and responsibility or let the ISS die. A Soyuz spacecraft launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on 27 November carrying two cosmonauts and a US astronaut. All three safely reached the ISS, but when engineers later inspected the pad it was clear…
HBO After her departure from “Game of Thrones” following her character’s demise in the Season 6 finale, Natalie Dormer didn’t waste time getting catty about one of her co-stars. Dormer, who played Margaery Tyrell on the HBO fantasy series, took aim at the feline actor who played Ser Pounce, AKA the cat owned by King Tommen Baratheon. “I don’t want to see that cat ever again,” Dormer said jokingly in an interview with Vanity Fair. “He was a diva. He was nothing but trouble! He kept upstaging Dean [-Charles Chapman, who…
Starring actress Aoi Miyazaki and pop star Mika Nakashima, Kentaro Otani’s 2005 film adaption of Ai Yazawa’s manga ‘Nana’ endures because it captured something rare and radical within Japanese pop culture: female friendship that is messy, intimate and life-changing. Shoujo manga (‘girl comics’) took my peers and I by storm in our formative years. Usually, these were sugary stories about high school girls falling for impossibly perfect men. But Nana was different. Yazawa’s series felt more mature, more honest, and far more emotionally raw than its counterparts.Yes, it had romance, but its core appeal – both then and now – lies in the bond…

After spending the past year testing 25 smart bird feeders from 10 different brands, many have impressed me, but none so frequently and consistently as Birdfy’s. It was the first brand on the market to introduce AI bird identification, as well as the first to introduce auxiliary products like smart nesting boxes, birdbaths (see below), and feeder bodies made from different materials like wood or metal. The products still suffer the occasional quirk or connectivity issue, but all smart feeders do. The Birdfys remain my go-to for gifts and personal use at my home due to their consistency and ease…

HBO It’s been more than two years since the end of “Succession,” and we still can’t get over how perfect its series finale was. The critically acclaimed, Emmy-winning HBO drama wrapped up its run in the spring of 2023 with a triumphant final outing, which largely focused on the Roy family’s attempts to stave off an inevitable tech takeover of their business in the wake of a sudden tragedy. We’re doing our best not to spoil too much yet, but on the off-chance that you haven’t seen the show we…

A quintessentially L.A. stereotype when it comes to style is wearing sweatpants or yoga pants and Uggs. It’s been that way since the early 2000s, when iconic paparazzi photos of Paris Hilton and the Olsen twins in sweatpants-and-Uggs became a go-to.Honestly, I was totally anti both as an adult—reminding me too much of middle school—until this month, when I finally caved and picked up a pair of each to have on hand for winter errands and lounging at home. Every year around this time, I catch myself daydreaming about escaping the winter in New York and moving to L.A.: walking…

Showtime The late David Lynch loved how his early 1990s ABC drama “Twin Peaks” started. But the supernatural murder mystery’s sophomore run didn’t exactly qualify as “damn fine” in the legendary filmmaker’s opinion. “The pilot is the only thing I am particularly, extremely proud of,” Lynch told TVLine back in 2017. “There were great moments along the way. The second season sucked.” “Twin Peaks,” which Lynch co-created with Mark Frost, chronicles life in a sleepy small town after a teenage girl’s death rocks the community. The series is responsible for some of the scariest TV moments…

The alarm hasn’t yet reached the general public, but tension is beginning to build in the corridors of the aerospace industry, in microchip laboratories, and in government offices. For months, an element almost invisible to the world—yttrium—has become the silent center of a new global dispute. Supplies are thinning, prices are skyrocketing, deliveries are stalling. And while China and the United States have promised a truce over rare earth minerals, the wheels of advanced technology are beginning to slow.Although a late-October meeting in South Korea between Chinese president Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Donald Trump raised hopes for a…

Ironwood is Google’s latest tensor processing unit Nvidia’s position as the dominant supplier of AI chips may be under threat from a specialised chip pioneered by Google, with reports suggesting companies like Meta and Anthropic are looking to spend billions on Google’s tensor processing units. What is a TPU? The success of the artificial intelligence industry has been in large part based on graphical processing units (GPUs), a kind of computer chip that can perform many parallel calculations at the same time, rather than one after the other like the computer processing units (CPUs) that power most computers. GPUs were…
HBO Based on an Israeli series of the same name, “Euphoria” debuted on HBO in 2019 with an arresting, undoubtedly provocative, and borderline exploitative opening: a POV shot of its main character, Rue (Zendaya), being born while footage of the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks plays on a nearby television. It sends a message to the viewer: There will be no compromises made here. Since then, the show hasn’t let up. With series creator, showrunner, and primary writer-director Sam Levinson at the helm, the show has depicted all sorts of teenage…
It’s never easy to deliver a sequel to a successful whodunnit, much less a threequel. At this point, the amateur sleuths have begun to identify recurring patterns and misdirects, the characters have become archetypal, and the audience is waiting for the surprise twist on top of the twist. Writer/director Rian Johnson shows a keen awareness of potential fatigue, and his Glass Onion follow-up, Wake Up Dead Man, charts a refreshing new course while proving that despite the increasing body count, this franchise is very much alive and kicking.In keeping with the traditions of the genre, we first meet the key players, who are all, of…
Time flies when you’re rocking out and the last 25 years has given us some amazing rock and metal albums. It took plenty of discussion and debate amongst the Loudwire staffers, but we feel we’ve got a good representation of the albums that moved the needle in both hard rock and metal over the last quarter century.It’s easy to think back to the beginning of the century when nu-metal was absolutely exploding. Acts such as Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit were ruling the world, but there were plenty more styles of music vying for attention.Pop-punk was prominent early in the…

Welcome to your Saturday edition of Today in Books. Here’s the highlight reel from the week that was. The Biggest Best-Of-2025 List Has Landed NPR’s annual “Books We Love” feature is the antithesis of the hyper-curated top-ten. “More is more” readers, rejoice: the crew at NPR—hosts, producers, editors, everybody—has rounded up more than 380 books to celebrate.

Prime Video We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Alan Ritchson seems like he was born to play the man mountain that is Jack Reacher, so it’s odd to think that he had to fight for the role. The actor was almost passed over for the hugely popular “Reacher” due to a specific detail from Lee Child’s books, which are the source material for the Prime Video series. Speaking to Michael Rosenbaum on his “Inside of You” podcast, Ritchson revealed that he almost missed out on the lead…
