Cynthia says she cannot be her mother because she never slept with a Black man, before an overwhelming look of recognition comes over her and she starts to weep. We never do find out who that man was – “Oh, don’t break my ‘eart, darlin’” she whines…

An artist’s impression of a light sailRICHARD BIZLEY/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY Interstellar travel propelled by light just got one step closer. Light sails, which are huge sheets pushed along by light that bounces off of them, may be the best way to travel enormous distances through space, and now we may have a way to steer them. “We knew already that any light or laser can impart momentum transfer, but now we can control the direction as well,” says Kaushik Kudtarkar at Texas A&M University. He and his colleagues created a tiny device called a metajet that uses refraction of light,…
Comedy Central Cartoons: they’re not just for kids anymore! Then again, that’s hardly a new idea. Since the days of “Looney Tunes” and Mickey Mouse, animation has been for everyone, with adults enjoying the art form as much as their children. But as cultural forces like Disney and Saturday morning cartoons took over, animation broadly became entrenched in a more kid-friendly realm. But that shift also sparked an equal reaction. Animation specifically made for adults — not “families,” but “adults” — began emerging from creators looking to reclaim and subvert…

There was something about cars in the 1970s — they weren’t just something you drove to get from here to there, you were the car. Before everything started to blur together, style- and design-wise, your car said exactly who you were because it served a purpose, not who you wanted to be. The guy with the Boattail Riviera? Well, he wasn’t the same as the woman in the wood-paneled wagon. Those vehicles had different purposes.How ’70s Cars Stood Apart Before the ’80s Changed Everything1970s cars in San Francisco in 1978.A parade of ’70s beauties in San Francisco c. 1978. (Getty…
On Friday, Charli XCX kicked off her new musical era with “Rock Music.” Today, she pivots almost immediately with the release of the B-side, “I Keep Thinking About You Every Single Day And Night.” If we were to believe “Rock Music,” then the Brat superstar was headed toward the realm of rage-baiting pop-punk. Musically speaking, “I Keep Thinking…,” sees XCX quickly return to the realm of more understated, ’90s-adjacent club music. Lyrically, though, she’s very much swimming in the same rage-inducing deep end as she stokes listeners’ moods with lines like, “Now I’m wondering if I maybe could be gay/But…

Unlike the other glasses I tested, Even doesn’t sell a subscription plan; everything’s included out of the box.The only downside I could find with the G2 is that it is largely devoid of offline features, so the glasses have to be connected to the internet to do much of anything.

The team dynamic is another major part of the appeal, with many of these shows built around close-knit groups whose chemistry keeps viewers coming back week after week. Though “Criminal Minds” has a lot in common with other procedurals, it has its own…
