More DC Comics TV shows are coming to an end.The latest are two of HBO Max’s biggest live-action series: Titans and Doom Patrol. Both shows started on the now-defunct DC Universe streaming service; Titans in 2018 and Doom Patrol in 2019. When that service was shut down shortly after the launch of HBO Max, both series migrated over to the new streaming site. But their upcoming fourth seasons will both series’ last.Here was HBO Max’s comment on the news, via Variety:While these will be the final seasons of ‘Titans’ and ‘Doom Patrol,’ we are very proud of these series and excited for fans to see their climactic endings. We…
Jupiter was already the king of the solar system, and new discoveries give the massive planet another way to reign supreme: It now has the most moons.Twelve new moons discovered orbiting Jupiter have been confirmed, bumping the count from 80 to 92, and knocking Saturn — which has 83 moons — down a peg. The newly discovered moons are small, ranging from 0.6 to 2 miles (1 to 3.2 kilometers) wide, and most of them have wide orbits. Nine of the 12 moons take more than 550 days to orbit the gas giant, Sky and Telescope reported (opens in new tab).…

Welp, this is going to be a tearjerker. The only thing tougher than Billy’s (Taye Diggs) death is how everyone picks up the pieces in the aftermath. The CW shared a promo for All American Season 5 Episode 12, and it will be a difficult hour for fans and their favorite characters. “When an unexpected event rocks both the Beverly Hills and Crenshaw communities, they come together to support each other in an unexpected way,” the official logline for “The Lost One” reads. The trailer shows everyone in a somber mood as they prepare for Billy’s funeral. Laura (Monet Mazur)…

Jeff Tweedy has shared his own take on “Union Maid,” a labor standard written by Woody Guthrie. The Wilco frontman covered the song as a bonus cut for the soundtrack to Jesse Eisenberg’s When You Finish Saving the World. Julianne Moore and Finn Wolfhard star in the A24 comedy-drama about an aspiring teenage musician in his mother.

Dead Space has drifted aimlessly in space since 2013 after Electronic Arts unceremoniously severed its umbilical cable. It died on its worst entry, one plagued by bloat, a lopsided appetite for action, and a ridiculous ending that was both too silly and not silly enough. It was almost a mercy killing, but still a premature one at that. A remake of the original was the smartest way to reset the franchise, and that’s the route Motive Studio went down with its 2023 remake. Instead of just mindlessly reconstructing the 2008 hit, the studio has honed in on its many strengths,…

Sitcoms often defy the laws of reality in pursuit of serving a comedic or narrative purpose. Real-life rules just don’t allow for the absurdity needed sometimes. The entire premise behind Night Court Season 1 Episode 6 would never play out IRL. A bunch of tweens disrupt a courtroom to protest for a graffiti artist who admits to vandalizing city property? No way they aren’t hauled home by their parents and grounded. But the purpose here is to explore the character of Bailiff Donna Gurgs beyond the extreme jolliness she’s become known for. What does it look like when Gurgs gets…
The severity of immune-mediated intestinal diseases such as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) or inflammatory bowel diseases is known to be associated with alterations in the gut microbiome, but what leads to such disruption in the microbial community has remained a mystery. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Michigan and collaborating institutions working with animal models of GVHD report today in the journal Immunity that alterations in the gut microbiome are connected to an increase in oxygen levels in the intestine that follows immune-mediated intestinal damage. Pharmacologically reducing intestinal oxygen levels alleviated the microbial imbalance and reduced the severity…
The Fox Point Hurricane Barrier following completion in March 1966 (Providence, Rhode Island). Credit: New England Division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Waltham, Massachusetts) More than ten years have passed since Hurricane Sandy exposed New York City to devastating coastal flooding. Several cost-effective flood megaprojects, including levees and storm surge barriers, have been presented to the NY-NJ region to prevent future billion-dollar disasters, but none have moved forward. Researchers studying climate adaptation have put forward theories about why so few cities have built cost-effective flood protection megaprojects, but a recent study by Princeton University and Rutgers University analyzes…

The state of hibernation is meant to protect against the harsh weather conditions of winter and low food sources. Unlike the animal kingdom, people tend to try and get everything done in winter. New Year, NEW ME. It’s a ploy to make us spend money on expensive coffee and run ourselves ragged. It’s okay to just chill out for a while, to hibernate. New to the concept of human hibernation? Don’t worry, I’m here as your guide. I am a lifelong expert at snacking, napping, wearing comfy clothes, and cozy reads. Winter may be almost over, but there’s still time…
Bromance, Romance, murder, and blood made for quite the Valentine’s day installment. O’Brien turned out to be a friendly after all on 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 4 Episode 4, and Carlos got stuck in a hellscape with a serial killer and his mother. Both plots felt like something on a different type of series and will likely have some lingering effects or be revisited as the season progresses. One of the connecting points and takeaway from both plots is that law enforcement who aren’t Reyes are incompetent, ineffectual, and intolerable. The stunning inability of the detective and the F.B.I. to…

There are very few things in life we could achieve without using our hands, so it’s about time to finally give them the TLC they deserve. Enter: the best hand creams. According to dermatologist Dr. Marisa Garshick, they’re great for people with naturally dry skin or conditions like eczema or psoriasis. But even if you don’t have any of these concerns, the best hand creams can also help reverse dryness due to frequent hand-washing or simple exposure to harsh winter weather. Not to mention, they’re basically your key to perfecting the glossiest #nailfie if you’re always rocking trendy press-ons or…
Casetify Impact Case for $72: Casetify cases are fun because there’s an insane number of designs to choose from. (Look at this one with a cat!) I’m not a huge fan of the Casetify branding that’s on the camera module, but maybe I’m just not trendy enough. I found the S Pen a little tough to access (I have a bad habit of biting my nails, so this might not be an issue for you). Otherwise, these are some great cases; it’s just hard to justify the absurdly high price.Spigen Ultra Hybrid OneTap Ring Case for $23: This is one…

52 billion minutes.That’s how much Stranger Things was consumed by Netflix subscribers in 2022. 52 billion! That is the equivalent of 98,934 years. Of Stranger Things!That is according to Nielsen, who released their report on the top streaming titles of the year, with the monstrous Netflix hit (clearly) running away with the number one slot. The second-most-streamed show of 2022 was NCIS, the long-running CBS series that is also available on Netflix. Some 38 billion minutes of NCIS were watched in 2022 — or 72,298 years. (Only 72,298 years? Pathetic.) The #3 title on the overall list was the hugely popular children’s show Cocomelon, which is also available on…

When you think of crime procedural dramas, chances are the first thing that pops in your head is not romance. But that doesn’t mean that they can’t have some of the best relationships on TV! What better way to get ready for Valentine’s Day than finding love where you might not expect to find it: amidst crime. Now, due to the nature of the genre, episodes don’t tend to focus too much on the personal lives of the law enforcement officers. But even just a few scenes or a big moment can lead to you remembering or loving an episode…
Oil is Ecuador’s top export — generating some $13 billion per year. Lago Agrio is where it began in February 1967: Ecuador’s first oil well drilled by the US Texaco-Gulf consortium to ring in an era of black gold for the Ecuadoran Amazon. “On that day, ministers and officials bathed in oil. Then they threw it in the river… a good start,” Donald Moncayo, coordinator of the Union of People Affected by Chevron-Texaco (Udapt), told AFP, ironically. Fifty-six years later, the oil continues to flow, some 500,000 barrels per day that President Guillermo Lasso has vowed to double. Oil is…
