The future of medication abortion, which accounts for more than half of abortions in the U.S., is in limbo after a federal judge ordered the Food and Drug Administration to withdraw its approval of the drug mifepristone, also known as RU-486, which is used in medication abortions. If the ruling is upheld, such abortions will still be possible using another drug regimen. But they could be harder to obtain, even in states where abortion remains legal after last June’s Supreme Court decision overturned the federal right to abortion. On Friday U.S. district judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of Amarillo, Tex., determined that…

Dangerous Blues by Stephen Policoff What’s it About? When Paul and his daughter move to NYC to get a fresh start, Paul can’t stop seeing the ghost of his wife. Reference to the old Chinese superstition, “To dwell upon those who are no longer with us brings bad fortune … makes hungry the ghosts who have not departed, hungry for more than they have.” It’s not easy to not dwell upon the past when your wife has recently died, forcing you and your 12-year-old daughter to relocate from your upstate New York home to a sublet in New York City’s…

Giulia Galli, Marco Govoni and fellow researchers have explored the possibility of predicting the electronic structure of complex materials using a quantum computer, an advancement in fields from materials engineering to drug design. Credit: Argonne National Laboratory If you know the atoms that compose a particular molecule or solid material, the interactions between those atoms can be determined computationally, by solving quantum mechanical equations—at least, if the molecule is small and simple. However, solving these equations, critical for fields from materials engineering to drug design, requires a prohibitively long computational time for complex molecules and materials. Now, researchers at the…

Shazam! Fury of the Gods is not a hit, and it seems like some finger pointing over the blame is beginning behind the scenes. Or, in this case, right out in the open.Yesterday, a report in TheWrap claimed that Dwayne Johnson, the star and producer of the previous DC Studios movie, Black Adam, “kneecapped” Shazam! Fury of the Gods in order to build up his own role in the DC Universe. Supposedly (allegedly), Johnson shot down a plan to have Zachary Levi’s Shazam appear in a post-credits cameo in Black Adam where the members of the Justice Society try to recruit him, in order to…

Photography via Getty Images He’s been reliably serving looks…for years. By Natalie Michie Date March 31, 2023 If “good vibes” could be materialized, the result would be Jonah Hill’s wardrobe. You won’t find the actor-turned-director on many red carpets these days, and yet, he’s delivered consistent menswear inspiration for years. Case in point: Hill made headlines while strolling over to the Brentwood, Los Angeles Country Mart on March 9th. His outfit? A simple white tee, a pair of dark-wash jeans with bone motifs by Japanese brand Kapital, and last but not least, a pair of chestnut Uggs. Inexplicably, it’s perfect.…

The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs did not trigger a long-lasting impact winter, scientists have found — a discovery that raises new questions about what happened on Earth just after it hit. One spring day 66 million years ago, a 6-mile-wide (10 kilometers) asteroid smashed into the Yucatán Peninsula and upended life on Earth. This event, called the Chicxulub impact, triggered a mass extinction that wiped out 75% of species, including all non-avian dinosaurs. But how exactly it killed the dinosaurs is a bit of a mystery — after all, they weren’t congregated beneath the asteroid, waiting to be squashed. For…
Mayor of Kingstown star Jeremy Renner has opened up about his horrific snowplow accident in his first interview since the incident that left him hospitalized with 30 broken bones and a collapsed lung. Speaking on ABC News in an interview with Diane Sawyer, Renner recalled how he and his nephew were towing a pickup truck with the snowplow when the incident happened. The Hawkeye actor was operating the plow but left the vehicle to check on his nephew and fell, with the plow barreling into him. “I was awake through every moment,” Renner said. “It’s exactly like you imagined it…

Adjusting the distance between nanoparticles creates different coloursPablo Cencillo-Abad, Daniel Fran A nanotechnology paint inspired by a butterfly’s wing is so lightweight that using it on a Boeing 747 could cut the plane’s mass by half a tonne. A paint’s colour normally comes from pigments, which are molecules that absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect the rest. Some of these pigments can be environmentally polluting, difficult to remove and they can fade over time, especially in extreme heat or under prolonged sunlight. Now, Debashis Chanda at the University of Central Florida and his colleagues have designed a pigment-free paint…

At the end of last year, Toteme unveiled its foray into luxury handbags and predictably, it’s starting to gain serious momentum. The minimal Toteme T-Lock bag is made from leather in either black or tan, featuring a curved top flap, dual straps, and an understated T-shaped clasp (the perfect logo, in my opinion), which comes in gold or silver hardware. Amongst all the noise in the designer bag world, Toteme has earned itself a rightful place within the space, and the T-Lock is beginning to thrive. In the last week, Katie Holmes has been spotted carrying her Toteme T-Lock bag not…

Of the many different kinds of stars, asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, usually slightly larger and older than our own sun, are known producers of interstellar dust. Dusty AGBs are particularly prominent producers of dust, and the light they shine happens to vary widely. For the first time, a long-period survey has found the variable intensity of dusty AGBs coincides with variations in the amount of dust these stars produce. As this dust can lead to the creation of planets, its study can shed light on our own origins. You’ve probably heard of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) which…
Here are the most outrageous breakdown callouts ever!In the 21st century, perhaps nothing in heavy music has been more popular than the breakdown — those ferocious, slow chugging parts of songs that inspire spin kicks, unintentional elbows to innocent throats and the general reckless flailing of all limbs in the pit whenever they come up.Of course, the most memorable one over the last few years is the “Arf! Arf!” screech in Knocked Loose’s “Counting Worms,” which also happens to be the very inspiration for this Loud List which you can view near the bottom of the page.READ MORE: 10 Sickest Breakdowns…

Okay, the truth is I spend a significant portion of my day talking…to my cats. Spoiler: They don’t talk back. But wouldn’t it be great it they did?? I don’t think there’s any pet owner who hasn’t wished at one time or another that their pets could talk back to them. Or that they had the ability to communicate with animals like Dr. Doolittle does. Sadly, it isn’t a reality, but it is still…
I love a good mid-season sale. Mostly because you end up being able to snag classic in-season buys that you can wear right now, as well as throughout the rest of the year. It’s often the transitional staples that get discounted before the trend-led high season pieces hit the stores, and for someone like me who mostly shops for basics I can wear across all seasons, it couldn’t be more useful. So I felt thoroughly spoiled when all three of my go-to high street stores launched their mid-season spring sales recently, with edits full to the brim with pieces that were…
MoviePass, the beleaguered startup that aimed to revolutionize seeing movies at the theater (and sort of did, indirectly) is back.

The company experimented with different models, such as $15/month for a couple of movies, or $40 to $50 per month for unlimited movies. Then, in…
