The ongoing El Niño is breaching the “super” threshold as Earth crosses into unprecedented climate territory.El Niño, officially underway as of June 11, is a climate pattern that’s injecting extra heat into our already-warming world, threatening disruptive weather across the globe and a humanitarian crisis in some regions.While El Niño is part of a natural multiyear climate cycle, scientists have noticed that it has been rapidly strengthening like never before, intensified by human-driven climate change, and putting stressed natural systems under extra strain.In a new update this week, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center continues to…
James Gunn has dropped a bombshell message about the recent Batman Easter egg in Lanterns. The Dark Knight’s mention in the DCU series has sparked discussion among fans online. Lanterns Season 1, Episode 6, “Bad Optics,” sparked discussion among DCU fans with an Easter Egg about Batman. At one point during the episode, Guy Gardner installs a Green Lantern beacon in Rushville, a design reminiscent of the iconic Bat-Signal. Noting the similarity, Hal jokes that Guy “ripped off that bat guy over in Gotham.” The line led some fans to question whether Batman is already existing within Gunn’s DCU. However,…

Bettmann/Getty Images Today marks 50 years since Farrah Fawcett helped launch “Charlie’s Angels,” one of the TV shows that defined the ’70s. Although the 90-minute movie pilot, which starred Fawcett, Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith, premiered on ABC in March 1976, the show officially kicked off months later, on September 22, 1976. “Charlie’s Angels” centered on three private detectives who faithfully carry out orders from their mysterious boss, Charlie. The trio were an instant hit with audiences, becoming the number one show that season. And while she’d been acting for years…
The leaves are crisp, the mornings are fresh and you (might) have turned your heating on. It’s official: autumn is upon us. After months of easy linen, lightweight dresses and barely-there layers, the arrival of autumn is always an excuse to take stock and rethink our wardrobes, but perhaps most importantly, the way we put our outfits together. Layering is practical, of course, but a great coat can be the entire outfit. Knitwear is no longer a relegated to being an afterthought, and, the right pair of boots can make even jeans and white tee feel like a statement. But…
Of all the events in the United Nations General Assembly taking place this week, the most anticipated by far is the upcoming meeting between Donald Trump and Chinese president Xi Jinping.Though the majority of the diplomatic activities are happening in New York, this face-to-face between the two leaders will take place at the White House. Trump is scheduled to personally welcome Xi at Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday, September 23—an unusual diplomatic gesture, as US presidents do not typically go to the airport to welcome foreign leaders.Ahead of that airport reunion, a US delegation led by Treasury secretary Scott Bessent…

NASA’s latest space telescope has officially taken its first photos of our universe. Launched on Aug. 30, the Nancy Grace Roman Telescope is on its way to Lagrange point L2, a “parking spot” in space about a million miles (1.6 million kilometers) from Earth where it will begin scanning deep space.Using its 300-megapixel camera, Roman captured hundreds of stars as green rings of light. The telescope’s Wide Field Instrument hasn’t been fully focused yet, which is why these balls of gas appear blurry in the debut test image. But once the instrument is calibrated over the next few months, it…
For all of the rip-roaring set pieces in Na Hong-jin’s creature feature Hope, there’s a scene at the halfway point that encapsulates everything that makes it so wildly entertaining. After a solitary monster has just torn its way through a small Korean mining town by the DMZ, an older ginseng farmer tells police officer Sung-ae (Hoyeon) that, actually, there’s more than one. He was in the nearby forest when he hid away from three gargantuan beasts patrolling for their next victim, captured in a prolonged suspenseful static shot. But this is all relayed through a wandering anecdote about how he almost died that day because…

Emerson Miller/Paramount+ In “Lioness,” Ian Bohen plays Grady, a U.S. Army Delta Force operator and K9 handler who shares a deep connection with his trusty canine companions. Rewind back 15 years, however, and Bohen played another character who led a pack of wild, canine-like creatures — the vicious, man-killing, supernatural kind. MTV’s “Teen Wolf” is very loosely based on the 1985 Michael J. Fox movie of the same name. The plot gets rolling when high schooler Scott (Tyler Posey) is attacked and bitten by an Alpha werewolf — in his…

One of the longest-running meteor showers of the year began on Sunday (Sept. 20), as the Southern Taurids start sending occasional “shooting stars” — and, potentially, spectacular fireballs — across the night sky.The Southern Taurid meteor shower runs from Sept. 20 through Nov. 20, peaking overnight on both Oct. 13-14 and Nov. 4-5, according to the American Meteor Society. Although only about five to 10 meteors per hour can be expected during the shower’s peak, the Taurids have a reputation for producing fireballs — very bright meteors that appear as flashes while falling through the atmosphere.Patience is often rewarded with…
Sydney Sweeney’s nude Novig ad has drawn plenty of criticism, and now Sophie Cunningham has given her take on the backlash.

Listen via: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Podcasts | More Platforms Peaches is back with No Lube So Rude, her first album in roughly a decade, and she’s returning to a world that feels even more absurd than the one she spent the previous 25 years gleefully provoking. Speaking with Kyle Meredith, the electroclash icon digs into what finally pulled her back toward making a full record; how the Teachers of Peaches anniversary tour helped connect generations of fans; and why menopause, aging, sexuality, and human rights all belong in the same gloriously unruly conversation. She also breaks down the new live production (get tickets…

Sneakers are a wardrobe staple no matter what stage of life you’re in. Even the type of sneakers women wear during any given season is often the same. What can differ is how women of different age groups style them. While women in their 20s love wearing sneakers with dresses and skirts, I often spot women age 50 and up wearing them with two other popular items: leather bomber jackets and relaxed jeans. And Naomi Watts is just the latest example.While arriving in Spain for the San Sebastian International Film Festival last week, Watts was photographed wearing a black leather…
Four years ago, I moved back to Texas from California. After two weeks of living here, I realized we were going to have to do something about the mosquitoes. In the 25 years I’d been gone, they seemed to have grown larger, more intelligent, and much thirstier. My skin had become a bepoxed nightmare within days.I immediately embarked on a mission to do something, anything, about the problem, quickly resorting to paying a local company to send a guy with a pesticide-blasting cannon strapped to his back to the house once every three weeks. The cannon, used to blast all…

These titles are as different as they are inspiring, with something for every reader to find value in. The first is the unforgettable true story of a man’s perseverance and generosity in the face of uncertainty. Meet Hamid Andalib, the author of The Secret of the Long…
More than two millennia ago, a ship carrying a wealth of iron sank in the Danube River in what is now Austria. Archaeologists have identified the “rusty treasure” as a collection of 500 iron bars — the largest cache of ancient iron ever discovered in Europe and enough metal to equip an army.The assortment was discovered in 2019, when workers who were extracting gravel from the river near the village of Deinham spotted a few unusual double-pointed iron objects and reported them to the Austrian monument authority.”It is nothing short of a minor miracle that the largest mass find of…
Variations of the phrase “10-hour movie” are synonymous with creators and actors seeking to prove that their project has more in common with cinema than television. No matter how many movie stars flock to the small screen or how much this material dominates the cultural conversation, there is a desire to quantify a TV show’s worth alongside the hallowed world of filmmaking. “Fuck you! No you’re not! Make a TV show. You’re in the entertainment business,” The Boys creator Eric Kripke succinctly put in response to this sentiment in 2022.Streaming has blurred some lines, but what those “10-hour movie” creatives don’t realise is that the…

Cbs Photo Archive/Getty Images It wasn’t easy to stand out if you were a sitcom in the ’80s and ’90s, but “Murphy Brown” certainly did. Following in the footsteps of the legendary “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” the series helped blaze a trail for independent, successful career women on television, led by Candice Bergen’s title character. The show even returned for a revival in 2018. But while “Murphy Brown” was a major hit during its original run, and many of the topics it tackled are still relevant today, the series…
