Earlier this month, the Recording Academy announced that Arcade Fire’s WE was nominated for the 2023 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Album. The band is also billed as a headliner for a summer 2023 music festival in Spain, alongside Florence and the Machine and the Strokes.The new allegations, like the ones before them, have surfaced in the context of a post-MeToo articulation of consent, rooted in factors like power imbalance and emotional manipulation. Sabina is unequivocal in her characterization of the alleged interactions. “It was an ongoing abusive relationship,” she said. “Emotionally abusive, manipulative, toxic, and using his power dynamic to exploit my body…

The new Lucasfilm Disney+ series features Warwick Davis returning to his signature role, in a new legacyquel show that features Willow teaming with a new generation of heroes on a world-saving quest.

It’s time to throw on some cozy clothes, prepare a warm beverage, and read until we can’t keep our eyes open anymore! All jokes aside, that’s one of the reasons why I love December so much. It provides a collective opportunity for people to take their time and do something they love. In my case, and most likely yours too, that’s reading as much as I can.

Rietveld refinement of deuterated carbonic acid at 1.85 GPa. Shown are the results of the simultaneous refinement against the shorter (top) and longer (bottom) wavelengths with the measured (blue crosses), fitted (dark green line), and background (red) data including the Bragg peaks of CO2 (red), D2CO3 (light green), and the Ni-Cr-Al cell (blue) as well as the difference signal. Credit: Inorganics (2022). DOI: 10.3390/inorganics10090132 The existence of carbonic acid has long been the subject of debate: theoretically real, but practically impossible to detect. That is because the compound decomposes at the Earth’s surface. A German-Chinese team of researchers working at…

I love Christmas. There, I said it. I really, really love Christmas. And it’s not because of the presents, or the tree or the incessant carols that play on repeat in every single department store throughout the whole month of December. I love Christmas because it is one of the few times a year that my entire family gets to spend the day together.There’s something particularly wholesome about the traditions a family develops over the years throughout Christmas time. Those unspoken rules that everyone abides by simply because they have done so in years past. In my family, we have…

“They’ve been really strong,” Scott Blanks, the vice president of the nonprofit Lighthouse for the Blind, says. “Now they’re all gone.”Despite its late start, Twitter had established itself as one of the more inclusivity-focused social networks over the past two years.“Twitter was setting an example,” says Neil Milliken, the global head of accessibility at Atos.Now it’s setting a very different example. With no evidence that the company has shifted accessibility-related duties to other teams, there may be no one left to ensure the site complies with laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act. “Failure to monitor or verify accessibility in…

The following essay is reprinted with permission from The Conversation, an online publication covering the latest research. Every fall and winter, viral respiratory illnesses like the common cold and seasonal flu keep kids out of school and social activities. But this year, more children than usual are ending up at emergency departments and hospitals. In California, the Orange County health department declared a state of emergency in early November 2022 due to record numbers of pediatric hospitalizations for respiratory infections. In Maryland, emergency rooms have run out of beds because of the unusually high number of severe respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, infections. So emergency departments there…

If you have an iPhone, there’s a good chance by now that you also have an Apple Watch. We’ve rated it as the best smartwatch and best fitness tracker for iPhone owners. It dominates the smartwatch category, with over a third of the market share. Even if the iterative improvements in last year’s Series 7 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) didn’t blow any minds, it’s still one of the most durable, comprehensive, and comfortable connected wearables available for the money. Personally, I’ve never cracked an Apple Watch screen or case. Apple does offer an extended warranty plan, which I would consider, given that…

A group of animal biologists and chemists at the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM) at Nagoya University in central Japan, in collaboration with Toyota Boshoku Corporation and Niigata University, have identified the pheromone involved in the mechanism that triggers puffer fish to spawn on beaches using moonlight. Their findings are reported in Current Biology. As described by Aristotle, people throughout history have been fascinated by the moon. Over the centuries, scientists have identified several connections between the lunar cycle and the behavior of living beings, including migration, mating, and feeding. However, while the lunar rhythm may be fundamental to life,…

What makes an audiobook the best? Do they have to have famous narrators or an ensemble cast? Are the most popular audiobooks the best, or do they have to be award-winning to be the best? Audiobooks have come a long way since their first iteration in 1932. Back then, the American Foundation for the Blind created book recordings on vinyl records, which only held about 15 minutes of speech per side.…

Construction has started on the largest telescope array on Earth. The Square Kilometre Array (SKA), which will contain hundreds of radio antennae spread across two continents, is now under construction in both South Africa’s Karoo region and Western Australia’s Murchison Shire. Together, the two sites – named SKA-Mid and SKA-Low, for the types of radio frequencies they will primarily detect – will enable high-resolution imaging of the whole sky, according to the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO), the organization that oversees the telescope. The sensitivity of the telescope will allow scientists to pick up even faint signals left over from the earliest…

Tool are no strangers to putting out weirdly imaginative and elaborate paraphernalia for their records (just look at video screen and speakers that came with Fear Inoculum’s physical CD release).

As Blabbermouth noted, a maquette is “a model for a larger piece of sculpture, created in order to visualize how it might look and to work out approaches and…

Patient-derived parathyroid organoids (PTOs) could pave the way for future physiology studies and drug-screening applications, as shown in a study published on October 27 in the journal Stem Cell Reports. “We are the first group in the world that was able to isolate parathyroid stem cells and maintain these cells in our lab as organoids for an extended period of time,” says co-senior study author Schelto Kruijff of the University Medical Center Groningen. “Our research introduces the PTO as a new model for research on parathyroid diseases.” Parathyroid diseases are characterized by alterations in the excretion of parathyroid hormone, leading…

Count John Leguizamo among the people who aren’t happy about the casting in Chris Pratt’s upcoming Super Mario Bros. movie. In a recent interview with IndieWire, the actor — who played Luigi in the 1993 live-action film — expressed his disappointment at the decision to not cast another actor of color in his role. Instead, Charlie Day will step into his role of Luigi in the upcoming animated film. “I’m O.G. A lot of people love the original,” Leguizamo told IndieWire. “I did Comic-Con in New York and in Baltimore, and everyone’s like, ‘No, no, we love the old one, the…
