The New York Times has a history of opining on the side of the oppressor. This is not my opinion, nor is it based on feelings, but is a fact. In 1922, they published their first article about Adolph Hitler, in which they fawned over his “uncanny control over audiences” and claimed that his antisemitism was “not so violent or genuine as it sounded.” It was not their last article that failed to identify the danger he posed. In 1986 they published an opinion essay by William F. Buckley suggesting that every person who is HIV+ should be forcibly tattooed…

Black sitcoms peaked in the 90s, but the fumes of greatness that those shows delivered, leaked on to more than a few series in the following decade. The new millennium saw an uptick in female-led comedies following the success of shows such as Moesha and Living Single. We also saw that animated shows would not be excluded from said greatness and that cartoons could provide greater social commentary than some of the live-action offerings at the time. Check out our ranking of the 15 best black sitcoms from the 2000s. Let us know if your favorite made the cut in…
Just before midnight at the close of a hot summer day in 1916, a natural gas pocket exploded 120 feet beneath the waves of Lake Erie. It happened during work on Cleveland’s newest waterworks tunnel, a 10-foot-wide underwater artery designed to pull in water from about five miles out, beyond the city’s polluted shoreline. The blast left twisted conduit pipes littering the tunnel floor and tore up railroad tracks inside the corridor, with noxious smoke curling off the rubble. When the dust settled, 11 tunnel workers were dead. Two rescue parties entered the tunnel searching for survivors. But they lacked…

Seven viruses from the Siberian permafrost have been revived and replicated themselves in the lab – including the oldest revived so far Health 23 November 2022 By Michael Le Page As permafrost thaws, it will release carbon and potentially also long-dormant ancient virusesNASA/JPL-Caltech/Charles Miller Seven types of viruses that have lain frozen in the Siberian permafrost for thousands of years have been revived. The youngest were frozen for 27,000 years, while the oldest was on ice for 48,500 years – making it the most ancient virus resuscitated so far. “48,500 years is a world record,” says Jean-Michel Claverie at Aix-Marseille University…

Paxlovid gets a bad rap over concerns about COVID “rebound.” That’s the primary takeaway from a series of papers showing that whether or not people take the antiviral medication, many have symptoms that wax and wane before going away completely. Over the past few months a number of peer-reviewed and preprint studies have looked at patients with COVID in the placebo groups of clinical trials for Paxlovid and other treatments. As part of the trials, the patients in these groups were required to fill out daily symptom trackers. Researchers consistently found that as many as 30 percent of those who…
On Jan. 25, Anne Hathaway wore head-to-toe sequins to the Valentino show at Paris Haute Couture Week, paying tribute to the designer in a leopard-print minidress and matching leggings. Hathaway’s husband, Adam Shulman, accompanied the “Armageddon Time” actor down the red carpet in a black-and-white ensemble layered underneath a gray herringbone trench coat. Sparkles have been a standout trend on and off the runway this season, but Hathaway’s look was hard to miss. The minidress featured a square neckline and spaghetti straps, which were lined with two rows of silver and gold sequins. The shimmering discs appeared again on the…
In the backdrop of a bear market, the web searches for Bitcoin have dropped to its lowest in at least over a year. The keyword ‘Web3′ on the other hand, seems to have garnered more interest from the global masses. As per statistics, the interest point in Web3 stands at 72, whereas the figure for Bitcoin sits at 27. For the last three odd months, Bitcoin has failed to show any significant growth in-terms of its prices. The cryptocurrency, that touched its last all-time high of $68,000 (roughly Rs. 56 lakh) last year in November, has disappointingly remained stuck to…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Shadow of the Dark? It’s a big mix of things. I lived in Columbus for many years and miss it now that I’m out in the PNW. I love baking and wanted to share that love with a character. I also enjoy Lovecraft’s mythos but not the blatant racism, antisemitism, or xenophobia. A lot of writers started subverting that over the past decade or so, using Lovecraft myth to create more diverse stories. I wanted to do something similar, but make it all about a snarky Midwestern, midsize…
So far, Brian Dietzen (who plays Dr. Jimmy Palmer) has co-written two episodes of NCIS with Scott Williams and adding a third isn’t off the table. But, given that those two episodes came in Seasons 19 (“The Helpers”) and 20 (“Old Wounds”), there are quite a few characters he hasn’t gotten to write for yet, due to cast exits over the years, so for which would he like to do so? “I love so many of these characters. Obviously Gibbs [Mark Harmon], obviously Tony [Michael Weatherly], Ziva [Cote de Pablo], and Abby [Pauley Perrette]. All of these voices are just…
New research from William & Mary published in PeerJ Life & Environment reveals that decals intended to reduce incidents of bird window strikes — one of the largest human-made causes of bird mortality — are only effective if decals are placed on the outside of the window. Researchers found that the patterns on the films and decals placed on the internal surface of windows do not reduce collision because they may not be sufficiently visible to birds. Bird window strikes occur when a bird flying near a building cannot perceive a glass windowpane and flies into it. These strikes are…

Irene Solaiman, policy director at open source AI startup Hugging Face, believes outside pressure can help hold AI systems like ChatGPT to account. She is working with people in academia and industry to create ways for nonexperts to perform tests on text and image generators to evaluate bias and other problems. If outsiders can probe AI systems, companies will no longer have an excuse to avoid testing for things like skewed outputs or climate impacts, says Solaiman, who previously worked at OpenAI on reducing the system’s toxicity. Each evaluation is a window into an AI model, Solaiman says, not a perfect readout…
The legal battle between Journey’s Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain has added a new chapter, with Cain now following through with a countersuit against Schon, alleging that the guitarist ran up over a $1 million bill on the band’s shared American Express Card and is breaching his fiduciary duty to the band’s corporate entity.News of the divide between Schon and Cain came to light in November when Schon sued Cain over the band’s finances, alleging that he had been denied access to the band’s financial records and also alleging that Cain had set up the band credit card without telling…
Sylvester Stallone’s unhappiness with the future of the Rocky franchise is noted, and recently, the actor took to social media to share what a potential seventh entry in the Rocky franchise would have looked like. In a since-deleted Instagram post, Stallone shared the beginning excerpts of the screenplay for Rocky 7. In a tweet sharing the post, Stallone said that “sadly, it will never happen, but it’s something I want to share with the diehard fans.” The excerpt is pretty barebones but does give some interesting tidbits about what the film would have held. “This was the beginning EXCERPTS of…
Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, was severely beaten by five Memphis police officers during a traffic stop in January. Shocking footage of the assault highlights what researchers describe as deeply ingrained racial biases that fuel police brutality. Black drivers are more likely to be stopped by police than white drivers. Once stopped, they are more likely to be searched. And they are much more likely to be killed during a police encounter. Nichols died after he was beaten, and the officers have been charged with murder. Nicholas Camp is a social psychologist at the University of Michigan who studies…

Not only humans are social, ants are too. Group members are taking care of sick ones by providing collective hygiene measures. This presents germs with a task. They must circumvent the immunity of an individual ant and avoid the group’s healthcare. A new study now published in Nature Ecology & Evolution reveals that germs develop a sneaky way to escape the ant colony’s defense systems by reducing their detection cues. Pathogens are disease-causing organisms. By natural selection, they develop evading mechanisms to outsmart the host’s immune system and to get the upper hand. One way to support the immune system…
