It’s not uncommon to hear the refrain that it’s harder to write a short story versus a full-length novel; encountering powerful short fiction can feel akin to sitting in on a storytelling masterclass. In my reading life, especially as I’ve developed a deeper appreciation for short stories and fallen in love with novellas and novelettes, I’ve had the privilege of reading some of these unforgettable works. One of them is a science fiction story by a real genius of shorter tales. Ted Chiang wrote an emotional gut punch of a first contact novelette in “Story of Your Life,” later adapted…

Nearly 2,000 years ago, Mount Vesuvius buried a vast collection of scrolls in ash and scorched them into solid black lumps. Now, without unrolling them, researchers have virtually read two of them —‬ and uncovered what may be a work by a well-known Stoic philosopher.The breakthrough comes from the Vesuvius Challenge, an international research effort to digitally read the scrolls that were preserved when Pompeii and Herculaneum were buried by ash and pumice in A.D. 79.

MovieStillsDB A one-season wonder from 1994 propelled Claire Danes to stardom while offering a fresh, authentic perspective on adolescence. ABC’s “My So-Called Life” followed 15-year-old Angela Chase’s high school journey through her first-person narration. Teen dramas that aired during the same era — Fox’s “Beverly Hills, 90210,” in particular — tended to tackle similar heavy topics, but with a much soapier tone. “My So-Called Life” producers Marshall Herskovitz and Ed Zwick tapped writer Winnie Holzman to pen a series that would challenge the nature of shows like “90210” and create something more…

Upon its release in 1969, Paul Mazursky’s Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice was both praised and criticised for being a social commentary and a verdict on marriage (and Americans) that was conveyable only through comedy. The film’s watershed financial success made it possible for others to follow suit and explore themes of consensual promiscuity on screen. Olivia Wilde’s third directorial endeavour is a great addition to this ​“canon” of sorts. The Invite is a star-driven chamber piece, with Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz, Edward Norton and Wilde herself at the centre of this partner swap, comedy-thriller.From the get-go, genre hybridity and a fluid tonal range steer the…

A cyborg cockroach with a suit for breathing underwaterNTU Singapore Swarms of cyborg insects controlled remotely via electrical implants can now operate underwater, thanks to tiny diving suits supplying them with oxygen – which could one day enable them to explore Mars.

While the show’s canon explanation is that Willard R. Abbott Elementary School is named after a fictional racist urban planner, the real-life story behind the show’s title is far more wholesome. “Abbott Elementary” was inspired by the creator’s sixth grade teacher, Joyce Abbott. “Ms. Abbott has always stuck with me throughout my life,” Quinta Brunson said in a 2022 interview, early into the first season of “Abbott.” “I think it’s like the Maya Angelou quote, ‘People always remember how you make them feel,’ and she always made me feel good.” Brunson credited Ms. Abbott for helping…

On Sunday night I was putting my clothes away and realised Virgin had been out for almost a year. I decided something had to be done about that. To be honest I haven’t really known how to talk about Virgin since it came out. I’d thought I was accustomed and even a bit desensitised to marketing and commodifying my feelings at this point in my life, but sharing Virgin felt raw and exposing in a new way.* I interviewed poorly, couldn’t write here, haven’t posted much. I think I needed to just be quiet for a while. It also makes…
