Talk about a total charmer. Milan Carter is that and then some. A jack of all trades, Carter is bursting onto the scene in the highly-anticipated Netflix action-comedy series FUBAR as a spy with a heart of gold and a bevy of one-liners to boot. Carter shines in the fun, ambitious FUBAR, a globe-trotting affair that mixes humor and family feels into one oversized action-packed adventure. It was a pleasure to speak with the lively and charismatic Carter, a Philly native like my family (Philly love, always) who was sincere and forthcoming in his answers to various questions and topics.…

The Hubble Space Telescope may have just found a rare “missing link” black hole hiding in Earth’s cosmic backyard.Located roughly 6,000 light-years away at the core of the nearby star cluster Messier 4, the intermediate-mass black hole candidate is an ultradense region of space packed with the mass of 800 suns, causing nearby stars to orbit it like “bees swarming around a hive,” according to the researchers who detected it.”It’s too tiny for us to be able to explain other than it being a single black hole,” study lead-author Eduardo Vitral, an astrophysicist at the Space Telescope Science Institute in…
Scar Songs: Stories by W. Royce Adams What’s it About? A collection of stories dealing with male protagonists at various life stages who experience events that leave either a psychological or physical memory scar, revealing the ways people deal with their hurt. “You will soon discover that in matters of the heart, memories are much kinder than reality.” — Judith McNaught Every so often, the website that keeps me loosely connected to my high school graduating class sends me an email with the subject line, “In Memory.” Someone in my class has passed away. I stare at their picture frozen…
Earth’s magnetic field, generated by the flow of molten iron in the planet’s inner core, extends out into space and protects us from cosmic radiation emitted by the Sun. It is also, remarkably, used by animals like salmon, sea turtles and migratory birds for navigation. But how? And why? A new study from researchers at Western’s Advanced Facility for Avian Research (AFAR), home to the world’s first hypobaric climatic wind tunnel for bird flight, explores a brain region called cluster N that migratory birds use to perceive Earth’s magnetic field. The team discovered the region is activated very flexibly, meaning…

As far as we know, it went something like this.One morning in September 2020, a van collected five elderly guests from a Marriott hotel in San Diego, California. It drove south, crossing the border into Mexico, and stopped in front of the mirrored windows of the Regenerative Medicine Institute in Tijuana. Among the passengers was MJ, who had recently been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, which is often followed by dementia. “My mind was not what it should be,” she says. “I was having a lot of trouble with dates and the time.”The guests were helped out of the van…
Miley Cyrus likely won’t be hitting the road in support of her latest album, Endless Summer Vacation. During an interview for British Vogue‘s latest cover story, the 30-year-old superstar singer revealed that she doesn’t see herself going on tour in the near future. “It’s been a minute,” Cyrus said. “After the last [headline arena] show I did [in 2014], I kind of looked at it as more of a question. And I can’t. Not only ‘can’t’, because can’t is your capability, but my desire. Do I want to live my life for anyone else’s pleasure or fulfillment other than my…

Brian Cox is speaking out about his controversial exit from HBO’s Succession. Logan Roy was killed off during Succession Season 4 Episode 3, a development that divided the hit drama’s fans. Cox believes the shocker happened “too early.” “[Succession creator Jesse Armstrong] decided to make Logan die, I think ultimately too early,” Cox said in an interview with Amol Rajan Interviews, which is set to air on BBC2 in the U.K. on Thursday (May 25) night, Deadline reports. “I mean, he’d made him die in the third episode… It was an odd feeling.” The star said he struggled initially and…
The rapid development of unexpected drought, called flash drought, can severely impact agricultural and ecological systems with ripple effects that extend even further. Researchers at the University of Oklahoma are assessing how our warming climate will affect the frequency of flash droughts and the risk to croplands globally. Jordan Christian, a postdoctoral researcher, is the lead author of the study, “Global projections of flash drought show increased risk in a warming climate,” published today in Nature Communications Earth and Environment. “In this study, projected changes in flash drought frequency and cropland risk from flash drought are quantified using global climate…

It boasts plunging necklines and conspicuous cutouts, high splits and open backs.…
It is possible to fall out of love with technology. I have seen skilled, successful software engineers give up their laptops to become farmers or therapists or realtors. They may use spreadsheets and software to manage their crops, but code is no longer their main concern; they’re more worried about the disposition of their goats.No one wants to talk about it at the morning stand-up, but everyone is thinking: How could someone turn their back on the future? Especially when so many people are trying to find their way in. But replacements are hired, memories fade, and new JavaScript frameworks…
Janelle Monáe has opened up about baring her skin during the rollout of her upcoming album — fittingly titled The Age of Pleasure — in a new interview with Rolling Stone, saying she feels “much happier when my titties are out.” The artist’s latest single, “Lipstick Lover,” is an ode to queer liberation accompanied by a decidedly NSFW music video that features her topless at one point. For the magazine’s newest cover story, Monáe spoke about feeling more comfortable of late letting it all hang out, saying, “I’m much happier when my titties are out and I can run around…

Matt’s Rating: You have to admire Apple’s literary ambitions, tackling giant contemporary tomes like Pachinko (set in Korea and Japan), Shantaram (India) and, closer to home, the new eight-part adaptation of City on Fire, Garth Risk Hallberg’s sprawling 2015 saga encompassing a panorama of New York City from the downtown club scene to Fifth Avenue penthouses. What links these disparate worlds is Sam (the luminous Chase Sui Wonders), a punk-rock-loving NYU undergrad whose self-published zine may provide clues about who shot her in uptown Central Park on July 4. As she lies in a coma, Fire unevenly interweaves bomb-throwing hipsters,…

Warming temperatures are increasing the flow of less-dense meltwater and slowing down deep ocean currents in Antarctica. (Image credit: UniversalImagesGroup / Contributor)Deep ocean currents around Antarctica that are vital to marine life have slowed by 30% since the 1990s and could soon grind to a complete halt, a new study finds.These currents, known as Antarctic bottom waters, are powered by dense, cold water from the Antarctic continental shelf that sinks to depths below 10,000 feet (3,000 meters). The water then spreads north into the Pacific and eastern Indian oceans, fueling a network of currents called the global meridional overturning circulation…

But some Joy users appear to have gotten over any qualms. Generating vows and toasts have become the most popular functions of the AI features since they rolled out in March, Joshi says. He sees that as fitting with the fact that long before AI came on the scene, many people struggled to articulate their feelings on a wedding day. “Getting those emotions onto paper is so much harder than any one of us acknowledges,” Joshi says.To generate speeches, Joy prompts a user to give details of a memorable story about the couple and their relationship, like how they met…

Pedro Pascal is an extremely sought-after actor right now, as evidenced by his being in two of the biggest shows on TV at the moment, The Mandalorian on Disney+ and The Last of Us on HBO. How does he do it?Well, with the power of a little something called voiceover. Since Pascal obviously can’t be in two places at once, he has to be very deliberate with his time. When The Mandalorian first started, Pascal was on set much more often than he is now. In fact, in Season 3, there are no moments where Mando appears without his helmet — in other words,…
The CW‘s original scripted series continues to dwindle as the network cancels its Supernatural offshoot, The Winchesters, and action drama Kung Fu. This is just the latest in a string of cuts, including Walker‘s prequel series Walker: Independence. In a statement from the network shared with Variety, The CW reportedly said, “As we reimagine the new CW, we had to make some tough programming decisions. We thank our partners at Warner Bros. and the casts and creative teams of Kung Fu and The Winchesters for all their hard work, creativity, and dedication.” (Credit: Skip Bolen/The CW) The Winchesters premiered this…
Usually, there are clear answers in mathematics—especially if the tasks are not too complicated. But when it comes to the Sleeping Beauty problem, which became popular in 2000, there is still no universal consensus. Experts in philosophy and mathematics split into two camps and ceaselessly cite—often quite convincingly—arguments for their respective side. More than 100 technical publications exist on this puzzle, and almost every person who hears about the Sleeping Beauty thought experiment develops their own strong opinion. The problem vexing the minds of experts is as follows: Sleeping Beauty agrees to participate in an experiment. On Sunday she is given…
Wildflowers Never Die by Randall Howlett and Deb Turnbull DeVries What’s it About? Wildflowers Never Die chronicles the first thirty year history of the Cold War from a third party narrative perspective but also following the careers of five key CIA agents involved in various world hotspots during that time period. Lack of trust between government and the people has been a defining phenomenon of the last decade. Starting with the Patriot Act post 9/11 and followed by Snowden and perhaps most recently the documents leaked by the young national guardsmen, what the government is doing to us and others…
Heidi Klum brought the sunshine to the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. At the May 24 premiere of “The Pot-au-Feu,” Klum shone bright in a yellow Zuhair Murad gown with strips of fabric creating cutouts along her sides, chest, and stomach. The dress also featured a soaring thigh-high leg slit and sparkly embellishments on her shoulders. Klum further emphasized the outfit’s flowy nature by throwing her arms up in the air and sending her floor-length sleeves flying. With such an impressive wingspan, Klum was virtually impossible to miss on the red carpet. Styled by Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, Klum completed…
When friends of mine sent a video of their little robotic mower bumping along a long flat lawn, I was skeptical. How could a device the size of a small tire mow a large lawn? Well, Husqvarna makes mowers that can, pretty accurately, and have been for years. While the robot won’t be able to edge succinctly like a weed whacker, you’ll still get well-groomed grass for very little effort. It chops the blades and mulches to save you the work of constantly emptying a storage container.The limitations involve installing a wire pinned to the lawn’s entire perimeter. Also, automowers are less…
