We’ve come to a mystifying juncture in human history, as the rampant onslaught of AI clogs up our news feeds and provides daily threats to all life in existence. Fun, eh? There are many who believe we’re getting close to a five-alarm extinction event if we don’t act now, turn off the big switch and leave a small group of billionaires with a few less billions in their vaults/bunkers. Contemporary anxieties about the forced integration of AI are blithely swiped away in Taika Waititi’s new feature, Klara and the Sun, in which we join a future dystopia in which World War Three has come and…

Martin Short thinks that the shape of Conan O’Brien is comparable to a certain “Shape of You” singer — Ed Sheeran. In a hilarious introduction to the Only Murders in the Building star’s guest appearance on the former late-night host’s Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend podcast posted Monday (Oct. 19), Short lobbed some of his best off-the-cuff insults — all in good fun, of course — at his friend. While recalling how they’d gotten dinner together recently, Short told O’Brien: “That night, I thought, ‘He looks like the love child between Lurch and Kathy Griffin.’” “Because, you know, you’re pale,”…
Though Parsons continued to narrate “Young Sheldon,” he wasn’t ready to play Sheldon on camera again so soon after “The Big Bang Theory” ended. “Not because I didn’t like him or like playing it, but it just felt wrong to me, somehow, in my heart after those 12 years, and after the finale of that show, and all of us finishing it together,” Parsons explains in the book. “Maybe that sounds overly precious, but I was really following my heart.” Executive producer Steve Holland recalls that Parsons’ initial response was positive: “He thought the scene was beautiful, and he was…
If you’ve been following fashion this year, you know that 2026 has been all about scarves. One scarf-loving It girl, in particular, is always providing inspiration, whether it’s which scarf style is cool or how to style it for a particular season. That It girl is Jennifer Lawrence, and last week, she was spotted heading to a concert in NYC wearing the accessories trend that elevates a fall or winter outfit in an instant: a velvet scarf.Velvet scarves are historically associated with fancy evening looks, but Lawrence opted to wear hers with a somewhat casual outfit—a pink velvet scarf with…

Archaeologists have unearthed an 11th-century wooden kitchen gadget with an ancient board game carved into the back. Medieval bakers may have used the wooden paddle not just to transfer bread into an oven but also to pass the time while they waited for the food to cook, the researchers said.”We discovered a fragment of a fairly large shovel,” Sergey Toropov, director of Novgorod State University’s Center for Archaeological Research, said in a translated statement. “Most likely, it was a bread shovel, which was used to bake bread in an oven. On the reverse side, however, three squares have been carved,…
Movies Home » You Can See Everything Awards Update Reveals if Movie’s Surprise Star Can Win Acting Oscar You Can See Everything is a documentary that is being eyed for a Best Picture nomination. While the Oscars do have a Best Documentary category, the format has never broken into the mainstream Best Picture category. However, that is far from the most groundbreaking category the movie might land in. You Can See Everything, a documentary about Elizabeth Holmes’ final days before she began serving her prison sentence, might just be in for a Best Supporting Actress nomination (via Deadline).

If you’re going to drum for Slipknot, you have to be prepared to be compared to those who held the position before you, as was the case for Eloy Casagrande with his drum lineage now connected to Joey Jordison.What Slipknot Wants From Their DrummersCasagrande recently discussed with Colombian YouTube channel Radionica what his Slipknot bandmates are looking for from their drummers and if he should try to replicate what others have done in the past.”I remember since like day one when I was playing with them, Clown [Slipknot’s Shawn Crahan] came to me and he told me, ‘Man, you don’t have…
Of these two “Gilded Age” exits, Sullivan Jones’ departure will likely be less noticeable. While he is the publisher of an important newspaper, T. Thomas Fortune was introduced largely as a love interest for Peggy Scott in the show’s first season. Given that Peggy is now engaged to Dr. William Kirkland, it makes sense that we would be seeing less of him. Then again, the trailer for “The Gilded Age” Season 4 shows Peggy and William at odds over their future; he is offered a tempting position in Washington, D.C., but she makes it clear that her momentum in New…

Dear Voracious Reader, Carrie is back. Yes, that Carrie — the blood-soaked, telekinetic teenage nightmare dreamed up by Stephen King, the same twisted genius who also wrote the novella that inspired the Oscar-nominated film The Shawshank Redemption. Talk about range. From pig’s blood and prom-night carnage to prison walls and redemption, King knows how to tell a story Hollywood can’t resist. And apparently, neither can the rest of us. Hollywood has a serious book addiction, and frankly, here at BookTrib we’re cheering it on. Following the success of adaptations like Heated Rivalry and Bridgerton, producers are raiding bestseller lists faster than readers can…
A drone powered by artificial intelligence (AI) has completed a championship race course faster than some of the world’s best human drone pilots.In a study published Oct. 14 in the journal Science Robotics, scientists created an AI system capable of pushing a quadcopter through a demanding course at over 60 mph (100 km/h), using little more than a single forward-facing camera, an inertial measurement unit, and a tiny onboard computer.The system, called MonoRace, even won the 2025 Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League drone racing competition, outperforming every rival autonomous team and posting faster times than three former human world-champion drone…
Making-of documentaries tend to be a mixed-bag proposition. They can risk seeming like extras on a Blu-Ray release or exercises in navel-gazing. But when Eleanor Coppola picked up a camera and began to film the on-set circus of her husband Francis’ chaotic 1979 production of Apocalypse Now in her film Hearts of Darkness, she showed herself capable of extracting beautiful insight from the process of filmmaking. It helped, of course, that she watched with the eye of a wife and a mother who knew her family’s foibles and talents.Making Marie Antoinette is, ostensibly, about the ambitious process of bringing what many now see as a modern…

John Sciulli/Getty Images Leonard Nimoy is synonymous with Spock from the “Star Trek” franchise, as he invested the beloved character with a sense of quiet dignity. Nimoy played Spock in the original “Star Trek,” having turned down a coveted role on a popular soap opera to star in the sci-fi series. Then on, the actor reprised the role in “Star Trek: The Animated Series,” the first six “Star Trek” films, and “Star Trek Into Darkness,” among other projects. Before landing this enduring role, Nimoy acted opposite Vincent Price in the…
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, also known as the style set’s Super Bowl, came and went. While the brand promised an evening filled with unexpected moments, few could have anticipated Kylie Jenner’s runway debut.Joining an iconic roster of performers, including Tate McRae, supermodels like Adriana Lima, and returning stars like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Jenner made her mark in the Fantasy Bra’s storied history. First introduced in 1996 and worn by Claudia Schiffer, the coveted design has become one of the show’s most anticipated traditions. Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima wore it in 2014, followed by Elsa Hosk in 2018—the last time…
You might wonder whether black is the most natural color for a cooler, given its propensity for absorbing heat. OK, and? Suck it up, and embrace the steely, Vader-esque manliness of this Ultra-Tough cooler from RTIC. It’s roto-molded, natch, but it’s also filled with 2.8 inches of foam. I have tested the 45-quart version while tailgating in temps where the cooler was actually helping keep our seltzers from exploding.The Ultra-Tough is a beast to carry by yourself (the manly way, the way John Wayne would carry a cooler) because it weighs almost 30 pounds empty. This means it’s about 55…

When millions of people died in Europe during the Black Death, biodiversity suffered too, new research suggests. The findings suggest that human activities once promoted biodiversity in the landscape — and experts say we could use these findings to boost biodiversity in our modern agricultural landscapes.The 14th century was a tumultuous time for the people of Europe. Persistent cold, wet weather at the beginning of the century led to widespread agricultural failures and unprecedented levels of starvation in what became known as the Great Famine from 1315 to 1317.This was followed by the Black Death, an epidemic of bubonic plague…

Fox Apu is back on “The Simpsons”… and he sounds a little different. Springfield’s friendly Kwik-E-Mart owner spoke for the first time in nearly a decade in Sunday’s episode of the long-running Fox cartoon, and the words came from a new voice actor: Sunil Malhotra (“Grey’s Anatomy”) will voice Apu on the show going forward, Variety reports. He replaces Hank Azaria, who voiced Apu from the show’s premiere through 2020, when he stepped aside amid mounting criticism of a white actor voicing an Indian character. Apu will be seen and heard…

Aging is one of the biggest risk factors for developing glaucoma or cataracts — but as scientists look more closely at what happens to the eyes over a lifetime, they are finding that people’s exposure to air pollution also plays a role in whether they develop these eye conditions.Glaucoma, which affects about 80 million people worldwide, is a group of diseases that damage the optic nerve, which carries visual information from the eye to the brain. It can lead to permanent vision loss, usually affecting peripheral vision at first and later central vision. Cataracts are even more common, affecting more…
If the British filmmaker Terence Davies had been more into the Manchester post-punk scene rather than Doris Day and The King Singers, then there’s a chance he might have made something akin to Carol Morley’s captivating, ripped-from-the-heart memory piece, 7 Miles Out. This new fiction feature from the reliably leftfield writer/director offers a tragicomic bildungsroman detailing life below the poverty line in late Seventies Stockport, where the sum of £1.50 for pop concert tickets is an unfathomable fortune that’s entirely inaccessible to even the most resourceful teenager. The film is based on Morley’s own 2015 memoir of the same name, with the title denoting…
Taylor Swift performed “The Fate of Ophelia” live for the first time at the 2026 Academy Museum Gala. The 36-year-old pop superstar took the stage at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures’ sixth annual fundraiser in Los Angeles on Saturday (Oct. 17), treating the star-studded crowd to some of her biggest hits. In videos shared online, Swift dazzled in a shimmery, dark blue floor-length gown as she performed “The Fate of Ophelia.” The track, from her 2025 chart-topping album The Life of a Showgirl, spent 10 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, making it the longest-running No. 1 single of…
Before Josh Brolin became a Marvel star and Stephen Baldwin got his big break in “The Usual Suspects,” the pair appeared in an ABC series that time has forgotten. “The Young Riders” was a Western series that premiered in 1989 and was based on the real-life American mail service group called the Pony Express. However, the show strayed from the initial premise, with the young riders focused more on fighting outlaws than delivering mail. Some were younger versions of famous Western folk heroes. For example, Baldwin played Billy Cody, who grew up to be Buffalo…
