Netflix will begin cracking down on password sharing in the US starting in early 2023, reports The Wall Street Journal. This summer, the streaming platform tested out an “extra home” fee in Argentina, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras after first rolling it out in Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru. Based on those tests, the new monthly fee is expected to cost $3 per extra home in the US.

Lots of new names and voices are being published in the murder mystery world and podcast world, with television and movies following suit. However, as a mystery reader, I’ve shied away from a lot of the true crime. Initially, it was because I associated the genre with serial killers, which I just don’t like in any format, fiction or nonfiction, but I acknowledge that the genre has really expanded…

At corporations and organizations like universities, policies meant to promote equity, diversity and inclusion are being used to enhance wealth and status. Credit: Sam Balye, Unsplash In capitalistic economies like those in the West, wealth and status accumulation often drive our every endeavor. Education, skills training and social networks, among other aspects, become tools that we use in this rat race to push ahead for our interests. Such questionable ethics seem ripe for a reassessment. I once believed equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) policies for government and industry could help. In 2016, while at the University of Alberta’s Office of…

Many governments, such as Iceland and the UK, are experimenting with three-day weekends. There’s a perception that all sides can benefit from such policies: Workers get more time off and superior mental health; companies get higher productivity and lower wage demands. In 2023, many of these scientific studies will indeed show indications that the three-day weekend is a good idea and, consequently, some governments will enact national policies. This transition, however, will fail—due to bad science.The idea of “evidence-based” policies has become mainstream in economics. Policy field experiments—scientifically designed trials run in the real environment where the policy under consideration will…

What’s it About? “I remember the summer my best friend Angela met Danny.” The first sentence of My Best Friend is Angela Bennett (Inanna Publications) by Canadian author Suzanne Hillier might seem to hint this book is a light-hearted romance.

It’s a vivid portrait of female friendship in an age and place where feminism was a far-off dream. In 1942 in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Angela and narrator Dorothy are enjoying the summer before their…
Wednesday may not have announced a second season quite yet, but rest assured, should the fan-favorite return for more kooky fun, it will likely remain in place on Netflix. Despite a report by The Independent, which suggested the Addams Family-inspired spinoff Wednesday could move to Prime Video for a yet-to-be-announced potential second season, IndieWire is seemingly refuting the claim. Per the initial report, it was insinuated that due to a recent deal with Amazon, Wednesday could be subject to a platform change because of its MGM ties.

While the National Science Foundation’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) frequently reveal important new facts about objects far beyond our own Milky Way Galaxy — at distances of many millions or billions of light-years — they also are vital tools for unraveling much closer mysteries, right here in our own Solar System. A pair of recent scientific papers illustrate how these telescopes are helping planetary scientists understand the workings of the Solar System’s largest planet, Jupiter, and its innermost moon Io. Jupiter’s atmosphere is complex and dynamic, and changes rapidly. To…
