This is the end, Riverdale fans! After many years of milkshakes and mischief, we’ve made it to Riverdale Season 7 Episode 20. The series finale was a roller coaster of emotions for the characters and us watching at home. There are plenty of sweet endings and sad goodbyes for these beloved characters we’ve known for seven seasons. It’s a heartbreaking end for the wild and entertaining (yet sometimes frustrating) story that was Riverdale. “Chapter One Hundred Thirty-Seven: Goodbye, Riverdale” served true to its name. Riverdale’s series finale was a nostalgic trip down memory lane and a farewell to the characters.…

Glasses that block blue light may not actually reduce eyestrain from looking at computer screens.That’s according to a new review, published Thursday (Aug. 17) to the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, that assessed 17 randomized controlled trials of blue light-blocking glasses that included nearly 620 people in six countries. Based on these trials’ results, glasses that “block” or “filter” the blue light emitted by computer screens don’t appear to prevent or relieve eyestrain any better than glasses that don’t filter blue light. Manufacturers sometimes also claim that, by blocking out some of the shorter, or blue, wavelengths of visible light, these…
It is a huge honour to have the queen of disco, Róisín Murphy on “Freak Me Now.” I messaged her hoping she may be interested in featuring on the song and before I knew it she was in the studio. She recorded all her vocals for the track and sent them over to us. I have admired her work for so many years & respect her so much. To have her on one of the most fun tracks on That! Feels Good! Is amazing. I can’t wait for us to do this together live in the future! I know my…
John Wick: Chapter 4 didn’t leave a ton of room to continue its story into sequels, so how about a prequel instead?The story continues (or I guess begins?) in The Continental: From the World of John Wick, which is set to premiere on the Peacock streaming service next month.

Spoilers below. There’s a lot going on in episode 5 of the second season of And Just Like That… or maybe it feels that way because there are so many characters outside of the iconic leading ladies to keep track of these days. It seems as though everyone had a side plot this week, which is at times overwhelming and other times very rewarding—like watching Evan Handler (Harry) have the time of his life in a wig.But to start: Miranda is burning the candle at both ends so she can sleep every night in Che’s Hudson Yards apartment and also…
For years, the Envy x360 line has been developing as HP’s most versatile laptop, with a slim, appealing chassis, solid performance, and the flexibility of a convertible tablet mode—all while keeping the price tag reasonable. Today there is an endless procession of Envy x360s to choose from, with screen sizes ranging from 14 to 16 inches and prices as low as $550. The hardware design is no-nonsense but not unattractive, presented as a monochrome gray or silver chassis with all corners well rounded.HP’s latest update to the now well-matured Envy line is this 15.6-inch model (official model number 15-fh0097nr), powered…
While the sun is the most scorching object in our solar system, its temperatures pale in comparison to several other cosmic bodies. So what is the hottest place in the universe? “I think a good answer is very near a supermassive black hole, especially a supermassive black hole that’s accreting, which just means it’s eating gas,” Daniel Palumbo, a postdoctoral fellow at the Black Hole Initiative, a research group at Harvard University, told Live Science. Feeding black holes that host relativistic jets — or enormous beams of material being propelled to “very near the speed of light” — are particularly sweltering,…

An object known as WT1190F entering Earth’s atmosphere in February 2015 was thought to potentially be a UFO, but was likely human-made debrisIAC/UAE/NASA/ESA The following is an extract from our monthly Launchpad newsletter, in which resident space expert Leah Crane journeys through the solar system, the galaxy and beyond. You can sign up for Launchpad for free here. Aliens are in the headlines, but there still isn’t solid evidence that they’ve come to Earth. On 31 May, NASA’s new task force on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) held its first public meeting. UAP is basically bureaucrat-speak for UFO, anything in the sky…

The number of smartwatches on the market is staggering. We’ve tested models from Tag Heuer, Citizen, Montblanc, and many other fashion brands, but most of them are simply too expensive for what you get. Here are a few other options we like.Samsung Galaxy Watch5 for $280 and Watch5 Pro for $380: Last year’s Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro (7/10, WIRED Recommends) are still great buys, just make sure you pay less than what the new Galaxy Watch6 models cost.

Putting a suite of new materials synthesis and characterization methods to the test, a team of scientists from the University of Iowa and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has developed 14 organic-inorganic hybrid materials, seven of which are entirely new.

The Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes leave the future of TV up in the air. Although the list of shows delayed by the strikes is indeed growing by the day, there is still scripted TV on the horizon.

Jamie and Claire Fraser’s time-traveling love story continues with Season 7 Part 2 in 2024, which has already been filmed.

In his first major interview, Oliver Anthony’s co-manager Draven Riffe talked to Billboard about the whirlwind that has surrounded the Virginia country singer over the past week-and-a-half since his everyman anthem “Rich Men North of Richmond” went viral and the record label feeding frenzy to sign him. On Saturday (Aug. 19), near a playground in front of the venue before Anthony’s afternoon show at Eagle Creek Golf Club and Grill in Moyock, N.C., Riffe explained how he met the singer-songwriter and why Anthony’s newly assembled team is “taking it slow” when it comes to weighing the multitude of offers coming his way,…

New research from the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus has determined that enjoying a tasting at a winery goes well beyond the sip.

There’s a market for nostalgia, and NBC’s cashed in big with its newest hit, Quantum Leap. The 2022 revival of the popular 1980s Scott Bakula-anchored time travel series came in like a quantum accelerator, throwing everything and everyone into the mix. While maintaining some temporal continuity with the original series, the new Quantum Leap introduced viewers to the team behind the project rather than just the leaper and his guide. What is Quantum Leap about? The initial twelve-episode order was quickly upped to a full eighteen-episode season, and the leaps got wilder as Dr. Ben Song (Raymond Lee) slowly regained…
Researchers led by a team at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have created the first tool to map and visualize the areas where human settlements and nature meet on a global scale. The tool, which was part of a study recently published in Nature, could improve responses to environmental conflicts like wildfires, the spread of zoonotic diseases and loss of ecosystem biodiversity. These areas where people and wildlands meet are called the wildland-urban interface, or WUI for short. More technically, a WUI (pronounced “woo-ee”) describes anywhere that has at least one house per 40 acres and is also 50% covered by…

Kristen Williams always knew she didn’t want to have children. Since 17, she’d experimented with different forms of birth control, including the pill and later, an IUD, but then decided she wanted something more permanent. “My mom had her tubes tied after she was done having children, and I’ve had other friends who have done the same, so I knew it was an option,” she says.She was aware of sterilizationbut was concerned about broaching the topic with her gynecologist. “I had never asked about [the procedure] before, because I assumed my doctor would tell me no.” But after presenting her…
Applauding India’s digitisation efforts, the chief economist of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Wednesday said the move was a game changer as it had allowed the Indian government to do things that would have been extremely difficult otherwise.”Digitisation is helping along a number of dimensions. One is financial inclusion, obviously because there are a lot of people in countries like India that were unbanked. And having access to digital wallets is a way in which they can enter into transactions that are not just cash transactions, which are very inefficient,” Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, the chief economist of the IMF, told PTI…
