Straightening my hair is typically a two-day affair. I wash all the product out the night before and load my hair with hydrating protectants. I let it air-dry, then I braid it before bed so that the next day, the curls are looser and easier to work through. Then, and only then, can I go in with a flat iron.WIRED’s Gear team has an array of curl types, needs, and hair-styling tricks, and we’ve all tried a lot of hair straighteners in our lifetimes. Some flat irons have left us with crispy ends and cramped hands, while others, like the…

[] Skip to main content Megan Moroney reveals her favorite Georgia slang at Billboard‘s Country Live event. Megan Moroney:What’s up, y’all? I’m Meghan Moroney, and here are some of my favorite Georgia slang. So one of my best friends is from Philly and I did not realize that not everyone called them buggies. Apparently up north, they call them shopping carts. But in Georgia they’re definitely buggies. Up north, they call them car accidents. But in Georgia, we call them car wrecks. So something that my mom always says, like, instead of saying, “How are you doing?” She says, “How…
Don’t turn up your nose at this news — wiggle it instead.The classic TV sitcom Bewitched will get a new lease on life via Sony Television. The concept is reportedly being prepped for an animated reboot targeted toward younger viewers. It’s being pitched as “Hannah Montana meets Harry Potter.”The original Bewitched aired on ABC from 1964 to 1972, and then has remained on TV pretty much ever since in syndication. The series starred Elizabeth Montgomery as a witch named Samantha, who was married to an ordinary man named Darrin.

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Making history with 42 digits, scientists at Paderborn University and KU Leuven have unlocked a decades-old mystery of mathematics with the so-called ninth Dedekind number. Experts worldwide have been searching for the value since 1991. The Paderborn scientists arrived at the exact sequence of numbers with the help of the Noctua supercomputer located there. The results will be presented in September at the International Workshop on Boolean Functions and their Applications (BFA) in Norway. What started as a master’s thesis project by Lennart Van Hirtum, then a computer science student at KU Leuven and now a…
Chlöe’s style evolution is one of the most dramatic in all of Hollywood. Having first rose to fame as part of the music group, Chloe and Halle, alongside her sister Halle Bailey, the singer has been in the entertainment business since 2003 — when she was just 5 years old. As such, the Atlanta native grew up in the spotlight, spending her childhood, pre-teen, and adolescent years gracing red carpets across the country. During her early years, she managed to be on-trend while still age appropriate, matching with her sister in metallic separates, floral dresses, or tulle frocks. As a…

[This interview was conducted prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike authorization.] [Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for The Righteous Gemstones Season 3, Episode 6, “For Out of the Heart Comes Evil Thoughts.”] When it comes to The Righteous Gemstones, no character comes across as pathetic as Judy Gemstone’s (Edi Patterson) husband, BJ (Tim Baltz). That’s due in part to Baltz’s fabulous performance, but it also relies on some seriously funny writing, which served up a memorable fight in the show’s latest installment, “For Out of the Heart Comes Evil Thoughts.” As viewers who have been tuning into Season 3 know…

There are a few things worth thinking about when you’re shopping for a portable charger.Capacity: The capacity of a power bank is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), but this can be a little misleading because the amount of power you get out depends on the cable you use, the device you are charging, and the charging method (Qi wireless charging is less efficient). You will never get the maximum capacity. We try to provide an estimate of what you’ll get in terms of charges for devices.Charging speeds and standards: The charging rate for devices like smartphones is measured in watts (W),…

One hallmark of Disney movies? Easter eggs. The creators behind some of the most beloved animated films have always had a knack for weaving in blink-and-you’ll-miss it moments that make you do a double take. Sometimes, they’re inside references to other movies — but other times, they’re full-on character cameos. In fact, some of your favorite Disney movies feature quick appearances from other movies’ characters. It’s all about keeping your eyes peeled.Luckily for you, we’ve done the hard work of tracking down these cameos in some of the most popular Disney films. Once you see them, you won’t be able…
The French take vacationing seriously, so it makes sense they spend as little time as possible choosing what to wear whilst wiling away days by the pool. But that kind of preparation takes skill, and much like a Parisian’s capsule wardrobe, holiday packing errs on the side of simple and streamlined. Parisian women tend to forgo makeup in favour of a few basics such as sunscreen (of course), lipstick and perhaps a little mascara—and the same goes for their clothing choices.They opt for minimum fuss so they can maximise time spent recharging batteries. Holiday packing can always seem a bit…
Beryllium is toxic and hard to work withBjorn Wylezich/Alamy A metallic bond between two beryllium atoms has been forged for the first time in the lab. The development could pave the way for the creation of new materials. “Going back 100 years, chemists have been striving to understand how elements bond together, but there are still gaps in what we know. Beryllium is element number four in the periodic table, yet no one managed to bond two of these metal atoms together,” says Simon Aldridge at the University of Oxford. That is, until now. Together with Josef Boronski, also at…

Prime VideoTom Clancy’s Jack RyanJohn Krasinski is back in the office—not Dunder Mifflin, but CIA headquarters at Langley, where Jack Ryan begins the fourth and final season of the global espionage series as the CIA’s new deputy director. It doesn’t take him long, of course, to get out in the field, but the minefields are even trickier this time, as he roots out corruption within the agency that reveals black ops that are tied to a dangerous alliance between a Mexican drug cartel and a terrorist triad based in Burma. You might need a map to keep track of all…
Elon Musk said on Friday SpaceX cannot “indefinitely” fund the Starlink internet service in Ukraine and send it several thousand more terminals after a report suggested that his rocket company had asked the Pentagon to pay for the donations.Musk’s comment on the question of support for the internet service in Ukraine comes after he angered many Ukrainians with a proposal to end Russia’s war in their country that included ceding some territory.”SpaceX is not asking to recoup past expenses, but also cannot fund the existing system indefinitely and send several thousand more terminals that have data usage up to 100X greater…
Nothing goes better with the new Taylor Swift album than a little bit of snitching. At least, that’s what the FBI Washington Field wants you to think, based on a recent tweet the organization put out. Taking timely cues from Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), the FBI shared an image Monday that appears to riff on Miss Swift’s latest release, boasting a faux tracklist in shades of purple reminiscent of the album art. But these so-called “tracks” have some interesting titles: “Terrorism (FBI’s Version),” “Cybercrime (FBI’s Version),” and “Weapons of Mass Destruction (FBI’s Version),” to name a few. “Justice is better than…

CLIMATEWIRE | Mountaintops across the Northern Hemisphere are transforming as rainy downpours replace snowfall, raising the risk of floods and landslides. The change has been happening for decades, a new study finds, and it is expected to get worse as global temperatures rise. “This is not a far-off problem projected to occur in the future, but the data is showing us this already,” said lead study author Mohammed Ombadi, a postdoctoral research fellow specializing in environmental data science at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The findings, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, weren’t a surprise to Ombadi. It’s well-known that warmer air can hold…
Sure, there are pretty pieces in every H&M and Zara category, but that makes their respective websites a bit of a trap where appearances can easily lull you. However, when I shop H&M and Zara, I do so with as discerning an eye as possible, seeking out the pieces that go beyond the current season and that genuinely fit with my aesthetic. While everyone has their own personal style, I do believe I’ve managed to curate an edit of the best Zara and H&M fashion items that won’t date for anyone. Take a look below, and hopefully, you’ll find something you love.…

The end of Physical will be here before we know it. Apple TV+ went public with the key art and trailer for Physical Season 3 on Wednesday, and we have plenty of questions. The trailer welcomes Zooey Deschanel to the cast as Kelly Kilmartin, and it’s clear from the get-go that Rose Byrne’s Sheila is not destined to be BFFs with her — far from it, actually. “Set in the idyllic but fragile beach paradise of 1980s San Diego, Physical follows Sheila Rubin (Byrne) as she transforms from quietly tortured housewife to dominant fitness entrepreneur,” the logline for the final…
Rimrock Draw Rockshelter in southeastern Oregon, where the 18,000-year-old teeth and tools were unearthed. (Image credit: Greg Shine/BLM; (CC BY 2.0))Stone tools and the teeth of an extinct camel and bison discovered in central Oregon show that people were living in North America 18,250 years ago, new research finds. Although this is not the earliest date for human occupation of the Americas that has been proposed, the finding, which is not yet published in a peer-reviewed study, appears to be thousands of years older than any other archaeological site in Oregon.Archaeologists made the discovery at the site of Rimrock Draw,…
Documents show police are advised to pursue “additional and independent investigative means and methods” to obtain evidence collected through use of a cell-site simulator, though suggestions provided by the FBI on how this could be accomplished were redacted by the bureau. The power of judges to toss evidence seized in contravention of a defendant’s rights is, the Supreme Court wrote in 1968, the only true defense Americans have against police misconduct. Without it, then-chief justice Earl Warren wrote, “the constitutional guarantee against unreasonable searches and seizures would be a mere ‘form of words.’”Under the US system, Warren said, “evidentiary rulings provide…
After pleading guilty last year to federal racketeering charges, Casanova has been sentenced to 188 months in prison. The New York rapper born Caswell Senior could have been sentenced to up to 60 years in prison. Along with the federal prison sentence, Casanova was ordered to forfeit $50,000 and he will be subject to four years of supervised release.In a statement to Pitchfork, James Kousouros, an attorney for Casanova, said, “While we advocated for a sentence below the guidelines, we were gratified that the Court sentenced Mr. Senior at the lowest end of the guidelines especially given the other sentences…

Nominations for the 2023 Emmy Awards were revealed Thursday morning, just hours before a likely SAG-AFTRA actors strike. The lavish event is currently set to air Monday, September 18, on FOX.

The Outstanding Drama Series category looks like a tough race, with Andor, Better Call Saul, The Crown, House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, Succession, The White Lotus, and Yellowjackets duking it out for the top spot. Many cast members of Succession are up for the acting categories. They will compete…
An inclusive review of decades’ worth of data reveals new insight into menopause and aging in women of color, suggesting Black and Hispanic women are likely to experience menopause measurably earlier than those who are white. The researchers say the difference is possibly caused by the grinding daily stresses of racism. The study, published on Thursday in the International Journal of Epidemiology, pulls data from one of the largest, longest-running efforts to understand the health of women as they age and experience menopause. Launched in 1994, the ongoing project, known as the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation (SWAN),…
