Dead Space has drifted aimlessly in space since 2013 after Electronic Arts unceremoniously severed its umbilical cable. It died on its worst entry, one plagued by bloat, a lopsided appetite for action, and a ridiculous ending that was both too silly and not silly enough. It was almost a mercy killing, but still a premature one at that. A remake of the original was the smartest way to reset the franchise, and that’s the route Motive Studio went down with its 2023 remake. Instead of just mindlessly reconstructing the 2008 hit, the studio has honed in on its many strengths,…

Sitcoms often defy the laws of reality in pursuit of serving a comedic or narrative purpose. Real-life rules just don’t allow for the absurdity needed sometimes. The entire premise behind Night Court Season 1 Episode 6 would never play out IRL. A bunch of tweens disrupt a courtroom to protest for a graffiti artist who admits to vandalizing city property? No way they aren’t hauled home by their parents and grounded. But the purpose here is to explore the character of Bailiff Donna Gurgs beyond the extreme jolliness she’s become known for. What does it look like when Gurgs gets…
The severity of immune-mediated intestinal diseases such as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) or inflammatory bowel diseases is known to be associated with alterations in the gut microbiome, but what leads to such disruption in the microbial community has remained a mystery. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Michigan and collaborating institutions working with animal models of GVHD report today in the journal Immunity that alterations in the gut microbiome are connected to an increase in oxygen levels in the intestine that follows immune-mediated intestinal damage. Pharmacologically reducing intestinal oxygen levels alleviated the microbial imbalance and reduced the severity…
The Fox Point Hurricane Barrier following completion in March 1966 (Providence, Rhode Island). Credit: New England Division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Waltham, Massachusetts) More than ten years have passed since Hurricane Sandy exposed New York City to devastating coastal flooding. Several cost-effective flood megaprojects, including levees and storm surge barriers, have been presented to the NY-NJ region to prevent future billion-dollar disasters, but none have moved forward. Researchers studying climate adaptation have put forward theories about why so few cities have built cost-effective flood protection megaprojects, but a recent study by Princeton University and Rutgers University analyzes…

The state of hibernation is meant to protect against the harsh weather conditions of winter and low food sources. Unlike the animal kingdom, people tend to try and get everything done in winter. New Year, NEW ME. It’s a ploy to make us spend money on expensive coffee and run ourselves ragged. It’s okay to just chill out for a while, to hibernate. New to the concept of human hibernation? Don’t worry, I’m here as your guide. I am a lifelong expert at snacking, napping, wearing comfy clothes, and cozy reads. Winter may be almost over, but there’s still time…
Bromance, Romance, murder, and blood made for quite the Valentine’s day installment. O’Brien turned out to be a friendly after all on 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 4 Episode 4, and Carlos got stuck in a hellscape with a serial killer and his mother. Both plots felt like something on a different type of series and will likely have some lingering effects or be revisited as the season progresses. One of the connecting points and takeaway from both plots is that law enforcement who aren’t Reyes are incompetent, ineffectual, and intolerable. The stunning inability of the detective and the F.B.I. to…
An H3 rocket sits on the launch pad at Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima, southern Japan Friday, Feb. 17, 2023. Japan’s space agency aborted a planned launch Friday of the first of its new flagship series H3 rocket.

There are very few things in life we could achieve without using our hands, so it’s about time to finally give them the TLC they deserve. Enter: the best hand creams. According to dermatologist Dr. Marisa Garshick, they’re great for people with naturally dry skin or conditions like eczema or psoriasis. But even if you don’t have any of these concerns, the best hand creams can also help reverse dryness due to frequent hand-washing or simple exposure to harsh winter weather. Not to mention, they’re basically your key to perfecting the glossiest #nailfie if you’re always rocking trendy press-ons or…
Casetify Impact Case for $72: Casetify cases are fun because there’s an insane number of designs to choose from. (Look at this one with a cat!) I’m not a huge fan of the Casetify branding that’s on the camera module, but maybe I’m just not trendy enough. I found the S Pen a little tough to access (I have a bad habit of biting my nails, so this might not be an issue for you). Otherwise, these are some great cases; it’s just hard to justify the absurdly high price.Spigen Ultra Hybrid OneTap Ring Case for $23: This is one…

52 billion minutes.That’s how much Stranger Things was consumed by Netflix subscribers in 2022. 52 billion! That is the equivalent of 98,934 years. Of Stranger Things!That is according to Nielsen, who released their report on the top streaming titles of the year, with the monstrous Netflix hit (clearly) running away with the number one slot. The second-most-streamed show of 2022 was NCIS, the long-running CBS series that is also available on Netflix. Some 38 billion minutes of NCIS were watched in 2022 — or 72,298 years.

When you think of crime procedural dramas, chances are the first thing that pops in your head is not romance. But that doesn’t mean that they can’t have some of the best relationships on TV! What better way to get ready for Valentine’s Day than finding love where you might not expect to find it: amidst crime. Now, due to the nature of the genre, episodes don’t tend to focus too much on the personal lives of the law enforcement officers. But even just a few scenes or a big moment can lead to you remembering or loving an episode…
Oil is Ecuador’s top export — generating some $13 billion per year. Lago Agrio is where it began in February 1967: Ecuador’s first oil well drilled by the US Texaco-Gulf consortium to ring in an era of black gold for the Ecuadoran Amazon. “On that day, ministers and officials bathed in oil. Then they threw it in the river… a good start,” Donald Moncayo, coordinator of the Union of People Affected by Chevron-Texaco (Udapt), told AFP, ironically. Fifty-six years later, the oil continues to flow, some 500,000 barrels per day that President Guillermo Lasso has vowed to double. Oil is…

What a difference seven days makes in the world of generative AI.Last week Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s CEO, was gleefully telling the world that the new AI-infused Bing search engine would “make Google dance” by challenging its long-standing dominance in web search. The new Bing uses a little thing called ChatGPT—you may have heard of it—which represents a significant leap in computers’ ability to handle language. Thanks to advances in machine learning, it essentially figured out for itself how to answer all kinds of questions by gobbling up trillions of lines of text, much of it scraped from the web. Google did, in fact, dance…
Male great bustards seek out two toxic plants during the birds’ breeding season, and extracts from these plants have been found to kill common pathogens in the lab Life 23 November 2022 By Christa Lesté-Lasserre Great bustards (Otis tarda)Carlos Palacin A wild, turkey-like bird tends to eat more toxic plants during the breeding season, possibly as medicine to fend off sexually transmitted diseases and so appear more attractive to potential mates. Male great bustards (Otis tarda), the heaviest flying animals alive today, expend great energy in elaborate feather displays to attract females. They also present their cloaca – the common…
Drake and 21 Savage have agreed to settle with Vogue’s parent company Condé Nast over a fake magazine cover the duo used to promote their collaborative album Her Loss, reports Semafor. In an internal memo obtained by Semafor, the publishing giant’s general counsel Will Bowes informed staff that the company has been granted an undisclosed settlement that will “bolster our ongoing creative output, including Vogue editorial.” Vogue filed a lawsuit against the rappers back in November, alleging they misled fans into believing Vogue would actually release a special edition of the magazine after Drake and 21 announced it on social media.

La Brea kept bringing the teasers to keep their audiences hooked. La Brea Season 2 Episode 10 was another action-packed and emotionally-charged episode as The Exiles needed to find a sacred item and were willing to kill Scott if they didn’t find it.

The pandemic is not over, despite some proclamations to the contrary. The good news is that we now have some effective therapeutics that are helping drive fatality rates down. Chief among these is Paxlovid, which significantly reduces the risk of hospitalization and death and was first granted an emergency use authorization by the Food and Drug Administration in December 2021. Paxlovid is not an option for everyone, though. And SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID, has the potential to evolve resistance to it. The world desperately needs more options to ensure we stay ahead of the virus. Now a new…
The sheer dress is still going strong, but Salma Hayek just put her own sultry spin on the trend. The actor and producer attended the Miami premiere of “Magic Mike’s Last Dance” on Jan. 24 wearing a revealing gown made entirely out of fishnet. The long-sleeve dress featured colorful embroidered flowers, adding vibrant accents to the see-through black material. Hayek’s black bra and underwear set peeked through the bold dress, and she accessorized with gold platform heels, a green Bottega Veneta clutch, and layered jewelry. Her hair was swept away from her face in a sleek high pony as she…

Toward the end of her headlining Super Bowl 2023 Halftime Show on Sunday (Feb. 12), as “All of the Lights” began blasting from the State Farm Stadium’s speakers, Rihanna took a beat to fix her makeup, casually touching up with her own Fenty Beauty invisimatte instant setting and blotting powder. Once she finished, a backup dancer handed Rihanna her microphone back, and she returned to business as usual by dominating TV’s biggest stage in her first performance in more than five years, and her first one as a mother. And during that 13-minute set, Rihanna reminded us that she’s still…
