Are more women having affairs? Or are they finally just talking about it? Throughout history, women have been stigmatized, ostracized, and so much worse for committing adultery — while men have too often been given a pass. But the truth is that women have the same wants, needs and desires as men despite cultural assumptions. Hosted by journalist Jo Piazza, this groundbreaking podcast series features real women of different ages and backgrounds telling the stories of their affairs, many for the first time. After five years of reporting on marriage in the wildly popular Committed podcast, Jo is now uncovering the other side…

Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter entered hospice care at his Plains, Ga., home last month. Much has been written about his legacy of stamping out Guinea worm disease, creating affordable housing through Habitat for Humanity and inspiring cancer patients with his own successful fight against metastatic melanoma. Carter may also be the politician who, more than any other, changed the country’s energy future. Under his four years of American leadership, landmark events and legislation opened up a new world of “alternative energy” as a way to wean the country from its troublesome reliance on fossil fuels. Here are seven highlights…

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has suspended production of advanced silicon for Chinese startup Biren Technology to ensure compliance with US regulations, according to a person familiar with the matter.The decision is connected with information in the public domain that Biren’s products outperform Nvidia’s A100 chips, which are now banned for the Chinese market, the person said, asking not to be identified discussing a sensitive matter. While TSMC has not reached a conclusion on whether Biren’s products meet the US threshold for restrictions, the Taiwanese chipmaker has decided to stop supplies to the Chinese startup for now, the person said.Biren, one…
Not every artist loves every song they’ve ever done, and during a recent interview with SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show, KISS’ Gene Simmons revealed the one song in the band’s catalog that he hates to this day. That would be the disco-flavored ’70s hit, “I Was Made for Lovin’ You.”Simmons humorously runs through the first time that Paul Stanley brought the song to him to Stern. “He walks in and he’s got a song, and I said, ‘What’s it called?’ He said, ‘I Was Made for Lovin’ You,’ [and I’m like] ‘Oh that’s great. What’s the first line?’ [He said],…

Credit: CC0 Public Domain The latest report into the rights of children in Aotearoa New Zealand has painted a mixed picture of how the country treats young people. The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child recently published its sixth review into how Aotearoa New Zealand is implementing its obligations under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child 1989. The good news is that Aotearoa New Zealand has made progress in the seven years since the last review. But despite decades of warnings, the country is still failing too many of its children and young people, particularly…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Long Enough to Love You? Life! I am an empty nester and struggled with my place in life and in my marriage. Finding my own diaries (then publishing my memoir based off them) gave me the idea for Tripp. Soul searching complicated by a first love felt like the perfect storm for a fictional book about self-discovery. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Long Enough to Love You, what would they be? I created a whole playlist for this book! For the parts…
Get ready for a wild season of Vanderpump Rules. As fans and cast members react to reports that cast member Tom Sandoval cheated on Ariana Madix with costar Raquel Leviss, Bravo cameras are reportedly still rolling on the reality show’s current, 10th season. On Friday, March 3, TMZ reported that Sandoval, 39, and Madix, 37, had ended their nine-year relationship after Madix found out about an affair between Sandoval and Leviss. The site also said that Vanderpump Rules producers found out about the drama, got cameras rolling, and got the entire cast on set again to capture the fallout. People…
A boulder weighing more than 40 tonnes sits on the sand high above the ocean. Dwarfing every other rock in view, it is conspicuously out of place. The answer to how this massive outlier got here lies not in the vast expanse of the Atacama Desert behind it but in the Pacific Ocean below. Hundreds of years ago, a tsunami slammed into the northern Chilean coast—a wall of water 20 meters high, taller than a six-story building, that swept boulders landward like pebbles. The tsunami that lobbed this behemoth happened before written records existed in Chile. But we know about…
Graphic by Leo Tapel Locs are a beloved hairstyle — and a personal journey that people feel called to for many reasons. By Natasha Boateng Date February 15, 2023 This is Texture Talk, our long-running column that deep dives into the dynamic world of curly hair, from crowns of curls that are free flowing to strands that are tucked away in a protective style. An incredibly empowering thing about afro-textured hair is how versatile it is. Locs — a protective hairstyle where strands of hair are twisted around themselves into permanent fused units — are heavily associated with Black identity…

South Korean tech company Kakao will launch a tender offer to acquire up to 35% of SM Entertainment’s outstanding shares, following a court injunction that scuttled SM’s plan to issue new shares and give Kakao a 9.05% stake in the company, Kakao confirms in a statement on Tuesday.

Every episode of The Mandalorian begins with a “Previously On…” recap. The one that kicks off “Chapter 17: The Apostate,” the first episode of Season 3 — and the first new episode Mandalorian in well over two years — runs for about one minute. It consists of clips from four different scenes:Droid IG-11 (voiced by Taika Waititi) self-destructing at the end of Season 1, while stating “Manufacturer’s protocol dictates I cannot be captured. I must be destroyed!”Greef Karga (Carl Weathers) talking about the planet of Navarro, and explaining that now that its “scum and villainy have been washed away, it’s very respectable again.”A brief…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Just City? It all started with John Rawls’ mind-blowing “veil of ignorance” thought experiment. I learned about it from Professor Michael Sandel’s lectures on “Justice,” which are available online for free. Originally, when I came up with the idea for the game, I wanted to create an actual VR game. Then a board game. But later I came up with a realistic, low-budget version: writing a book. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Just City, what would they be? Obviously, “Twenty-Something” by Pet…
Researchers aboard a whale watching boat in Iceland were baffled in 2021 when they saw a female orca swimming alongside a very unusual calf. The tiny animal didn’t have a white spot near its eye like orcas (opens in new tab) (Orcinus orca) do and, as it turned out, wasn’t even from the same species.Orca researcher Marie-Thérèse Mrusczok (opens in new tab) was working as the spotter on the top deck of the Láki Tours whale watching boat off the island’s west coast when she sighted the orca and what she suspected was a pilot whale.”You know what you’re seeing,…
Who Killed Robert Wone? It’s a question explored in the new two-part Peacock documentary centering on the unsolved murder of a Washington D.C. attorney in 2006. Wone was found stabbed to death in the home of a friend he had been visiting. The house was shared by Victor Zaborsky and his domestic partner Joe Price and another man, Dylan Ward, with whom they were involved in a polyamorous relationship. When police questioned Price, Zaborsky, and Ward, they all denied any involvement and suggested an intruder may have broken in. Yet, there were no signs of a forced entry, a struggle,…
If there’s one way to get a read on what we’ll actually be wearing next season, it’s by examining the street style trends of the previous fashion month. Yes, what comes down the runways is always important, but often, it’s what happens outside the shows that carries even more influence, especially in our day-to-day wardrobes. There’s just something about seeing real people styling trends for real life (okay, fashion week) that makes them seem much easier to re-create.The street style set—whether it’s editors, influencers, buyers or celebrities—have, for a while now, been masters of both following and setting trends. And although some looks can still be a little out…
Vexas would have been discovered a long time ago if it were a garden variety genetic disease, caused by an inherited genetic mutation. For instance, the single gene responsible for familial Mediterranean fever, also an inflammatory disease, was identified in 1997 by screening the DNA of families that carried the disease. But Vexas can’t run in families. Like cancer, Vexas is caused by what scientists call a “somatic mutation,” a gene mutation that develops in someone’s body after they are born.Because somatic mutations appear later in life, they affect only a fraction of a person’s cells, which makes them difficult…
Earlier this week, KISS announced the dates of their final shows ever, culminating with a two-night stand at Madison Square Garden on December 1st and 2nd. Fans wishing that founding members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss will be welcomed back for those last gigs may not want to keep their hopes too high. In a new interview, singer-guitarist Paul Stanley said he thinks the original lineup would sound more like “PISS” than KISS these days. Stanley and the rest of the current KISS lineup — Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer, and Eric Singer — appeared on The Howard Stern Show to…
Licensed video games aimed at kids don’t have the best reputation because they were often low-effort titles that were rushed to market in order to make a quick buck. However, that isn’t always the case as evidenced by games like SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake. Justice League: Cosmic Chaos definitely has some of that patented licensed game jank, but its top-notch presentation and attention to detail help elevate this basic action game above any accusations of being a cash-in. Three of DC’s most iconic heroes are at the forefront, as players can control Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. Each character…
[]Archaeologists accidentally discovered the world’s earliest horseback riders while studying skeletons found beneath 5,000-year-old burial mounds in Europe and Asia, a new study finds.[]The ancient riders were part of the so-called Yamnaya culture, groups of semi-nomadic people who swept across Europe and western Asia, bringing the precursor to the Indo-European language family with them. The findings strengthen the hypothesis that the horse played an integral part in the expansion of this group, and therefore, in the spread of the Indo-European language.[]The new analysis came from 217 human skeletons from the Pontic-Caspian steppe, a geographical area that runs roughly from Bulgaria…

Here’s the thing that a lot of people may not realize about the United States: it may be recognized internationally as a singular country and culture, but it’s really more like a bunch of cultural regions dressed up in a trench coat and trying to pass itself off as one group, a la those kids who try to sneak into a R-rated movies by standing on each other’s shoulders. It’s a simple assumption to make, much of the culture featured or advertised from…

(Image credit: D Ross Robertson/Smithsonian Institute)The remains of a missing person in Argentina were recently recovered from the belly of a dead shark.
