JAY-Z took the stage of the Louis Vuitton Foundation Auditorium in Paris on Friday for the opening of a new art exhibition entitled “Basquiat × Warhol. Painting Four Hands,” honoring the work and collaborations of Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Videos from the evening show off Hov’s classy, suit-and-tie look, and reveal that the setlist included hits like “Ni**as in Paris,” “Diamonds from Sierra Leone,” “Encore,” and more.…
Some fans have wondered if we might ever see Jar Jar Binks on The Mandalorian. Well, we did … in a sense.This week’s episode of The Mandalarorian, “Chapter 20: The Foundling,” features an extended flashback to Grogu’s childhood. (Well, uh, his earlier childhood anyway.) It reveals how he managed to survive “Order 66,” when Emperor Palpatine sent his Clone Army to destroy the Jedi, including the young Padawans being trained in the Jedi Temple. In this sequence we see that one Jedi in particular risked his life to get Grogu out of the Temple and off Coruscant.This Jedi is named Kelleran Beq. Jar Jar…
Sometimes science advances at a snail’s pace, but in this case that’s a good thing: researchers have created a squishy material that combines polymers with liquid metal, demonstrated in a snail-like robot. Developers say this electrically conductive gel could be used to make self-healing electronic circuits and biological monitors for measuring heart and muscle activity—and maybe even lead to robot nervous systems. The composite substance is stretchy and soft like living tissue. If it breaks or tears, the edges can be touched together, and the material’s molecular bonds quickly re-form without any additional heat or chemical treatment. And crucially,…
Three Authors Land on Time’s Coveted “Most Influential” List: What started for the iconic magazine as a celebration of the world’s most influential people affecting major global challenges from climate to public health to democracy to equality has expanded to something even bigger, now representing innovators, titans, leaders, artists and trendsetters. The literary world is represented once again this year on the just revealed 2023 TIME100 list of most influential people in the world: with Colleen Hoover, whose books have literally monopolized the bestseller listings; Neil Gaiman, described as “bringing dreamscapes to life;” and Judy Blume, for her groundbreaking young adult fiction and coming…
A defunct, 660-pound (300 kilograms) NASA satellite is set to tumble uncontrollably back to Earth after spending two decades studying the sun from our orbit. NASA’s Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) satellite will hurtle through the Earth’s atmosphere at 9:30 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, April 19 (1:30 a.m. UTC on Thursday, April 20), plus or minus 16 hours, NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense said. The bulk of the dead satellite — which examined solar eruptions from 2002 until it was decommissioned in 2018 — is expected to burn up while passing through our atmosphere. NASA has said…

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.

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.

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…
