[]One of the deepest ocean trenches on Earth, the Kermadec Trench in the South Pacific, is home to rarely seen sea creatures living in the hadal zone, at depths between 20,000 and 36,000 feet (6,000 to 11,000 meters). Now, a new underwater expedition has released stunning photos of these oddities.[]Among the most arresting images that a team of researchers from China and New Zealand took during the November 2022 mission was a photo of a scarlet anglerfish (Gigantactis) swimming upside down with its lure hovering near the seabed. []”We saw highly diverse seafloor communities even at great depths and discovered strange…

While getting married is supposed to be among the happiest days of your life, the entire process comes with its fair share of stressors.

That’s the high-stakes premise behind “Shotgun Wedding,” the new action film meets rom-com starring Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel.…

“There’s a lot of stuff that I’ve purchased that is just total crap, so I thought I’d share it,” Kromelis says. “I just wanted to help people save some money because I’m a penny-pincher myself.” In her first video, she rattled through expensive hair and face products that people should not buy—yet she also recommended cheaper alternatives. Critics have noted that de-influencers target overconsumption by encouraging other, different kinds of consumption. “I mean, I totally agree with that,” Kromelis says, “That’s the awkward paradox of the whole thing.” While Kromelis appreciates that it may seem odd for de-influencers to recommend products,…

Each episode of The Mandalorian is treated as a chapter of a larger story, and given a title with the same format: “The _______.” The pilot was simply “The Mandalorian,” and since then we’ve had installments like “The Child,” “The Sin,” “The Gunslinger,” “The Marshal,” “The Jedi,” “The Tragedy,” and “The Rescue.” (The only episode so far to violate that rubric was Season 1’s “Chapter 4: Sanctuary.”)The Season 3 premiere is the 17th chapter of the story so far. It’s dubbed “The Apostate,” a word that’s a little more obscure than child or sin or gunslinger or even Jedi. But it…

Dr Jody Hobson-Peters looks at cells used for the vaccine manufacture in culture in a container held by Dr Jessica Harrison. Credit: University of Queensland Scientists at The University of Queensland have developed a novel vaccine for Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in pigs, to help stop the spread of the disease in Australia.

Here’s something else chess players need to keep in check: air pollution. That’s the bottom line of a newly published study co-authored by an MIT researcher, showing that chess players perform objectively worse and make more suboptimal moves, as measured by a computerized analysis of their games, when there is more fine particulate matter in the air. More specifically, given a modest increase in fine particulate matter, the probability that chess players will make an error increases by 2.1 percentage points, and the magnitude of those errors increases by 10.8 percent. In this setting, at least, cleaner air leads to…

Close to a year after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards, Rock held forth about that on-stage altercation in Chris Rock: Selective Outrage, his live Netflix comedy special. “Y’all know what happened to me, getting smacked by Suge Smith,” Rock said near the end of his hour-long set, which Netflix streamed on Saturday, March 4. “Everybody knows! Everybody f—king knows! Yes, it happened. I got smacked. Like, a year ago … I got smacked at the f—king Oscars by this motherf—ker, and people are like, ‘Did it hurt?’ It still hurts!

[]A close-up of the mummified bear’s head. (Image credit: Press service of the North-Eastern Federal University)[]A perfectly preserved, mummified bear found entombed in the Siberian permafrost in 2020 isn’t what scientists thought it was, a new analysis reveals. It turns out that the eerily intact carcass is much younger than first assumed and belongs to an entirely different species. []Reindeer herders unearthed the remains, which include the bear’s intact skin, fur, teeth, nose, claws, body fat and internal organs, on Bolshoy Lyakhovsky Island, a remote Russian island located in the East Siberian Sea. Researchers named it the Etherican bear, after the…

Whether you’re living vicariously through their red carpet appearances or simply getting inspo from their off-duty styles, there’s plenty to gain from a little celeb spotting. From Tracee Ellis Ross to Margot Robbie, Hailey Bieber to Katie Holmes, the celebrity crowd has been supplying plenty of cold-weather inspiration.

Conor Oberst has reunited with his longtime pals The So So Glos. The Bright Eyes frontman features on “Everywhere Is War,” the new single out now from the Brooklyn rockers. Rather than the garagey, surfy punk by which The So So Glos made their name, “Everywhere Is War” is a poppier number primarily backed with a spunky piano riff. It’s difficult to even recognize Oberst’s trademark constantly-on-the-verge-of-tears vocals, too, as it’s been doused in T-Pain levels of Auto-Tune. Soon enough, though, the track has you humming along. But despite its sunny exterior, “Everywhere Is War” has a much darker meaning, its…

Some, like the Asian Lungs or Eastern European dragons, are very serpentine, with long bodies, sometimes with legs, sometimes without. Others are what most folks of Western European descent would recognize: horns, wings, at least two legs, a mouthful of sharp teeth perfect for biting through a questing knight’s armor. Today, we’re looking at some of the most beloved and famous dragons in mythology and literature. Why do we love dragons…

WITHOUT meaning to sound ungrateful, it really is the comedown after the festive cheer: the dreaded thank-you notes. Perhaps you agonise over how to make each sound genuine. Maybe you put off the chore for so long you end up not bothering, or simply feel they are an outdated waste of time. Then there is the skill of mustering the convincing faux-thanks for unwanted gifts. If writing thank-you letters is a task you readily dismiss, you aren’t alone. It turns out we express our gratitude more rarely than you might assume. But, however you feel about those festive notes, it…

Scientists from the Institut Pasteur, Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital (AP-HP), Inserm in the Imagine Institute, Université Paris Cité and the Alfort National Veterinary School (EnvA) have identified a previously unknown species of circovirus, provisionally named human circovirus 1 (HCirV-1). Circoviruses are a family of small, highly resistant DNA viruses that were initially identified in 1974 in various animal species, where they can cause respiratory, renal, dermatological and reproductive problems. HCirV-1 is a novel virus that is distant from known animal circoviruses. It was shown to be implicated in damage to the liver of a patient undergoing immunosuppressive treatment. This discovery of…

After executive-producing several Arrowverse shows and overseeing the CW superhero franchise’s “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover event, Marc Guggenheim didn’t get a place at the table when DC Studios planned a reboot of its cinematic universe. And now, in terms of his career, he feels like he “wasted his time” on the Arrowverse. In a recent edition of his LegalDispatch newsletter, Guggenheim — who was executive producer on Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, and Batwoman — remarked on reports that DC Studios bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran formed a writers room to launch a new, unified…

It only took three days of swiping before he popped up. I froze, thumb hovering over the X. I scrolled through his photos and prompts, looking at what he had changed since I’d seen it the first time.The first photo was the same: him holding a climbing rope somewhere remote, curly hair bursting from underneath a baseball cap. His simple pleasures were still “mountain roads, forests and alarm free mornings.” He had added a photo where he stood shirtless at the base of a cliff. The twist of the knife was the note from Hinge at the top: “Most Compatible: We…

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has taken quite some time to come out. And while it is still officially scheduled to release on May 26, a new report has alleged that it won’t make that date. According to a new report from Bloomberg (which accurately reported on its previous delay), the live service shooter is being pushed from May to some unspecified time later in the year. One of the sources in the article explains that this delay is mostly to improve certain underwhelming aspects of the game and fix bugs. The gameplay itself isn’t being overhauled, as that…

Everywhere I look, people are begging for sad books! They want books to make them ugly cry, books with devastating endings, books that make them cry in public, the list is endless! Some might think it’s strange to willingly submit yourself to something sure to make you upset, but according to VeryWellMind, it’s perfectly reasonable. Sad short stories and novels alike connect us to our real-life emotions in a controlled way. They make us more grateful for our relationships and the meaning we hold about our lives. This is called the “tragic paradox” or the “paradox of tragedy,” the psychological…
