Jeopardy! has been stumping many a player with its Final Jeopardy clues as of late, but the Wednesday, May 31 game proved to be a difficult game overall for both players and viewers at home. Playing in the episode were Ilhana Redzovic (a returning champ with total winnings of $20,400) from Chicago, Illinois, Kyle Marshall from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and Lisa Gargiulo from Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. Ilhana would walk away victorious for the second night in a row, but her win would also come after another triple-stumper clue in Final Jeopardy, plus $0 in winnings after the first round. Ilhana…
Fashion devotees know that the Anna Wintour seal of approval isn’t easy to come by, so when the EIC of Vogue steps out in multiple iterations of a similar style, we take note. Case in point? Wintour’s go-to shoe for all of fashion month: knee-high crocodile-embossed heeled leather boots, which she wore in New York, Paris, London, and Milan.Of course, one doesn’t amass a slew of signature footwear overnight. This is a tried and true trend for Wintour, who has sported these types of boots (routinely paired with long floral dresses and statement overcoats) for decades. While of course, she has an array of hues at her…

LAST year, one of our most commonly held ideas about depression was turned upside down. “Antidepressants study casts doubt on drugs taken by 8m people,” The Times newspaper stated in July. Other publications ran similarly alarming headlines. Depression is one of the biggest medical problems facing societies worldwide, treatments have long been controversial and here was research showing that Prozac and other common antidepressants are based on a defunct hypothesis about what causes the condition. The study’s lead researcher even went as far as to suggest that any benefits from such medicines come from a placebo effect. Most antidepressant drugs…
The band OK Go has reached a confidential settlement to end a bizarre legal battle with Post Foods over a new line of on-the-go cereal packages called “OK Go!” Just months after OK Go — a power pop band best known for its viral music videos — vowed to fight back against a “big corporation” that “chose to steal the name of our band to market disposable plastic cups of sugar to children,” attorneys for both sides asked a Minnesota federal judge to dismiss the lawsuit permanently, with each side paying their own legal bills. The filing said that the…
Bitten by a radioactive hamburger bun, student Peter Parker gained the proportionate strength and agility of a cow! Armed with his wonderous soda-shooters, the reluctant superhero struggles with sinister super-villains, making ends meet, and maintaining some semblance of a normal life! Stan Lee Presents: The Amazing Spider-Burger.Or something like that; it’s been a while since I read Amazing Fantasy #15. But I have to assume that somewhere in there was some sort of role for a strange-looking burger, because that is precisely how Burger King is promoting the new Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse film: With a “Spider-Verse Whopper” that comes on a bright red bun topped with…
Hedge by Jane Delury What is a mother? Mothers are often characterized as caring and selfless. They put their children above anything or anyone else. But mothers are still women, and women have desires of their own. What happens when the role of woman and mother clash? Jane Delury explores these conflicting roles in her latest novel, Hedge (Zibby Books), through the story of Maud, a woman torn between her love for her children and her love for something more. “Yes,” Maud thought. “I’m madly in love with my children. But why can’t I have more than one mad love?”…
Everything has always revolved around school and academic excellence. We revisited what had been missing for the past couple of Never Have I Ever Season 4 episodes. Senior year was the time to decide on the future everyone wanted, and for these nerds, getting into a great college was the first step, and college reps visited on Never Have I Ever Season 4 Episode 4. This was a momentous occasion for Devi, Ben, and Fabiola. I can’t stress enough how important this was. They had spent every waking moment of their academic life dreaming about getting into a great school, and…
Keep track of how many illnesses you have each year to get to grips with your immune healthVicki Turner WHEN you are under the covers, sniffling from your third cold of the year, you might wonder whether your immune system is pulling its weight. It is a question we would all love to answer: is our immune system healthy or not? Now, a burgeoning field of immunology is attempting to do just that with tests that “grade” your immune system, the idea being that it could help people preempt problems and motivate them to make lifestyle changes to avoid ill…
Every department store has its own beauty vibe. When I think of Harrods, I think of the height of luxury (and the Food Hall, of course). You can’t step into the golden-brick department store doors, kindly held open by the green-uniformed doormen, without feeling a little bit fancy. However, with that fancy feeling comes high-ticket prices. Harrods stocks hundreds of luxury beauty brands, from La Mer to Lancer and Chanel to Oto, so if you’re stepping foot inside the store or browsing online, you can expect to drop some serious dollar.

Mount Sinai researchers have published what they say is the first study to identify a new form of treatment for rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder. This condition affects more than 3 million Americans, mostly adults over the age of 50, who often unknowingly physically act out their dreams with vocal sounds or sudden, violent arm and leg movements during slumber, leading to significant injury to themselves or bed partners. The new study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience on May 25, outlines a novel model to better characterize how REM sleep behavior disorder develops due to neurodegeneration –…
Greta Van Fleet have shared the new song “Farewell for Now.” The track appears on the Michigan rock band’s upcoming third studio album, Starcatcher, out July 21 via Lava/Republic Records. “On ‘Farewell for Now,’ we express the sentiment of our longing to stay on stage and savor the magic created by the audience-music phenomena,” bassist Sam Kiszka said in a statement. “But we must pack up and go to the next place to do it all over again; as always, we’ll be back soon.” “Farewell for Now” shows Greta Van Fleet’s softer side in a very retro-sounding ballad. The song…
Just because movies or shows are on a streaming service — even if those movies and shows are produced by said streaming service — does not mean they will be available forever.We have already seen Warner Bros. take down dozens of originals from HBO Max as a cost-cutting measure, and now Disney appears to be following suit. Last week, Disney revealed it was “removing certain content from our streaming platforms” as part of a plan to take a $1.5 million “impairment charge” — essentially a write-off of certain expenses for tax purposes. (That was the same financial strategy that led HBO Max…

Photography by Maya Fuhr, courtesy of Barbet Whether you’re going for a “damp lifestyle” or attempting to go sober for a bit, Canada’s alcohol consumption guidelines mean it might be time to pick up a mocktail. By Noor Abduljabbar and Jennifer Berry Date May 19, 2023 It’s no secret that alcohol consumption can have negative effects on our health, including an increased risk of cancer and heart disease, and we’ve all heard the saying “everything in moderation.” But have you ever wondered just how much is considered “moderation” when it comes to cocktails? Well, as even the most casual of…
Losing that sea ice won’t add to sea levels, just as melting ice cubes floating in a glass of water won’t cause the glass to overflow. (The ice is already displacing the water.) But sea ice plays a critical role in protecting Antarctica’s colossal ice shelves from deteriorating, and those could dramatically raise ocean levels if they break apart. If it totally melts, the Thwaites Glacier, aka the Doomsday Glacier, could add 10 feet to sea levels. Sea ice protects Thwaites and other glaciers because it acts like a buffer, absorbing the energy of winds and waves that would otherwise erode them. It…
Cancers often release molecules into the bloodstream that pathologically alter the liver, shifting it to an inflammatory state, causing fat buildup and impairing its normal detoxifying functions, according to a study from investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine. This discovery illuminates one of cancer’s more insidious survival mechanisms and suggests the possibility of new tests and drugs for detecting and reversing this process. In the study, published May 24 in Nature, the researchers found that a wide variety of tumor types growing outside the liver remotely reprogram the liver to a state resembling fatty liver disease via secretion of extracellular vesicles…

Enigmatic, C-shaped antler carvings from France’s Stone Age have puzzled scientists for over 150 years, but now a modern experiment investigating these artifacts may have revealed their purpose: They were likely crafted to be Paleolithic finger grips for spear-throwers, a new study finds.The discovery was made by using similar crescent-shaped devices to throw dart-like projectiles at archery targets. The success of these trials suggests that the objects — made of deer antler and called “open rings” — were once attached to now-rotted-away wooden spear-throwers: weapons also known as atlatls that were used to throw large darts at high speeds, according…
Spoilers below.A cynicism that’s frankly awe-inspiring drips through every scene of “America Decides,” the eighth episode of what’s shaping up to be Succession’s best season. But can you really call it cynicism if it’s just honesty? The episode takes an unflinching—if, as befits a show like Succession, juiced-up—look at not only what happens on election night in America but what’s already happened. The echoes of both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections are so shrill as to be hellish, yet it’s as impossible as ever to press the dial. Roman says as much at the end of the episode, after…

Scientists at NASA’s first ever public meeting on “unidentified anomalous phenomena” — more commonly called UFOs — have called for a more rigorous scientific approach to clarify the origin of hundreds of mysterious sightings. The truth is out there—but we’re going to need to look harder. Scientists at NASA’s first ever public meeting on “unidentified anomalous phenomena”—more commonly called UFOs—called Wednesday for a more rigorous scientific approach to clarify the origin of hundreds of mysterious sightings.

Back in 1983, on a break from Queen, guitarist Brian May pulled in a number of his musical friends for a new project. Among them was Eddie Van Halen, whose band would become the biggest thing in rock over the next year with their 1984 album. While this collaborative project didn’t reach the commercial highs of their respective bands, interest has continued to grow over the years, and now a 40th anniversary box set reissue digging into those sessions en route to release under the moniker, Brian May + Friends: Star Fleet Project.“It’s all here.
