What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Stepfamily? We lived in Silicon Valley for eight years, and I wanted to do a domestic suspense thriller that also had some tech subplots to reflect the feel of the region. The main twist in the story was inspired by something that’s happened to people I know, but not with such dramatic consequences! I can’t say more without revealing too much. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Stepfamily, what would they be? Family Affair by Sly and the Family Stone. What’s…

Jupiter’s brief but glorious reign as the planet with the most moons in our solar system came crashing down this week as scientists confirmed the discovery of 62 new moons orbiting Saturn — bringing the ringed planet’s total to a whopping 145 moons. That’s a decisive leap ahead of Jupiter’s 95 confirmed moons – a total that eclipsed Saturn’s moon count for several months after 12 new moons were officially recognized orbiting Jupiter in late December. Saturn is now the first and only planet in the solar system with more than 100 known moons, according to researchers at the University of…

Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott has once again said he would be open to making a biopic about the band — but there would be some challenges in making it interesting for fans.In a recent interview with U.K.’s Metro, Elliott said making a movie about Def Leppard in the style of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, Mötley Crüe’s The Dirt and Elton John’s Rocketman is “always being discussed, but let’s not forget there was an MTV movie in 1999 that was fucking awful!” He went on to say that if they were to make a biopic, it would be “a hell of a lot…

Now, his team has evidence that the brains of the Tsimane and neighboring Moseten people may age slower than yours, mine, and the brains of pretty much everyone else in the industrialized world. “Something about the lifestyle is affecting brain aging,” Kaplan says. He thinks he knows what that something is—and that it can teach us how to better control the aging of anyone’s brain.Public health in remote societies could enlighten public health elsewhere. Back in the 1980s, Kaplan was working with the Mashiguenga, an Indigenous group who had only recently come into contact with industrialized society in Peru. As…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Second Sky: And Other Stories? Okay, first the story behind the title. The title came from my friend Melinda’s daughter, who looked at the sky and said to her mom “that’s the Second Sky.” Mel told me, and I was like “that’s a heck of an insight.” And I kept thinking, what if she’s right? What if there is a hidden sky that we all look past. And that’s when the idea came to create a collection of stories about different hidden aspects of reality. I grew up…

A flood in Somerset, UK, in January 2023Matt Cardy/Getty Images The amount of damage caused by floods each year in some parts of the UK will rise by 25 per cent even in the best-case climate scenario, according to a modelling study. Paul Bates and Oliver Wing at the University of Bristol, UK, and their colleagues built a climate model that simulates water flow over land surfaces and used it to estimate how much flooding the UK would experience until 2070 based on various global temperature rises. They estimated the potential cost of flood damage based on insurance data on…

The three-tiered strategy to outlaw corporal punishment is outlined in the paper which reviewed laws in Australia allowing the practice, international agreements on children’s rights, evidence of its adverse effects, and the outcome of legislative reforms in countries that have implemented bans. Professor Daryl Higgins, the Director of Australian Catholic University’s Institute of Child Protection Studies, was one of the co-authors of the paper published today in the Australian and New…

If you believe Hugh Howey, the television adaptation of his postapocalyptic book trilogy Silo may never get released, despite the millions of dollars and thousands of man-hours Apple TV+ has thrown at the production. Sure, the dystopian drama—which stars Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Robbins, and Rashida Jones and was produced by Justified creator Graham Yost—has a release date of May 5, and the show has already premiered at Cannes and in London, but the author still isn’t ready to call it a done deal.“To be honest,” Howey says, “it’s still a gradual process. I think it’ll probably hit me on June 30, the day the finale…

Street Fighter 6 is already in a better position than Street Fighter V with its larger launch roster and suite of modes. They don’t automatically mean that Street Fighter 6 will be better, but they do at least show that it won’t be as sparse as its predecessor. Because of this, Street Fighter 6 is already looking like a fantastic sequel for a multitude of reasons, even if those modes aren’t created equally. Street Fighter 6’s World Tour, its single-player offering, is one of those modes throwing off the balance. Instead of being a linear roller coaster ride of fights…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write True Stories of an Urban Shaman? For me, writing has been a lifelong journey. I never set out to write a book originally. I was on a learning and awakening journey, and every time I learned something I never wanted to forget, I wrote it out, printed it and threw it into a folder. One day, the folder was around two-hundred pages long and I realized I had a book in my hands. From that day on, I would open a word document and write consecutively knowing it was…
What a disturbing end to the season! Law & Order Season 22 Episode 22 featured Sam Waterson’s real-life daughter as McCoy’s estranged daughter Rebecca, who took it personally when her father put ethical concerns over helping her with a case. The case itself brought up questions that don’t have answers, some of which may keep fans talking all summer long. This was also Sam Waterson’s 400th episode of Law & Order, which is no small feat. Congratulations to the veteran actor on reaching this milestone; the story he was given was certainly worthy of him! McCoy reminded me of…
On rainy nights on the verdantcoastal plains outside Rio de Janeiro, groups of tree frogs sometimes gather around the pearly white flowers of the milk fruit tree. But while most tree frogs are on the prowl for night-flying insects, one species is after the sugary nectar in the flowers. The tiny, orange Xenohyla truncata’s sweet tooth might make it the world’s first known pollinating amphibian. And the discovery adds to growing evidence that we need to broaden our understanding of which animals act as pollinators beyond the well-known birds and insects. During a visit to a spot near the Brazilian…
For the 2023 Met Gala, the men stepped things up with boundary-pushing silhouettes, from unconventional layers and statement-making robes to even a giant cat costume, proudly worn by Jared Leto. However, Bad Bunny stood out from all the rest. The “Tití Me Preguntó” singer looked suave as ever in an all-white custom tweed suit by Jacquemus, finished with a 26-foot-long rosette cape. As if the look wasn’t already a sartorial vision, he gave viewers a show when he turned around, revealing a cutout back. The 29-year-old sported matching platform leather derby shoes and pearl stud earrings, switching things up by…
Oppo’s approach to true wireless earphones has always been a value-driven one, with the company actively promising and delivering more than you would expect from similarly-priced alternatives. The recently-launched Oppo Enco X2 is a great example of just how far Oppo is willing to go to position itself as the brand delivering the most bang for your buck.

While Spider-Man is Marvel’s most famous characters, his movie rights are still controlled by Sony, who have been producing Spidey movies every few years since 2002. Marvel and Sony now have a deal to share the character onscreen, and that allows Tom Holland’s Peter Parker to make Sony movies and occasionally pop up in Marvel Cinematic Universe crossovers like Avengers: Endgame.Until now, only those MCU Spidey movies were available on Disney’s streaming service, Disney+ along with the rest of Marvel’s movies. That changes this week, though, as Disney+ is getting many of Sony’s Spider-Man films for the first time. Here are the Wall-Crawler movies…
