Photography courtesy of Imaxtree The luxury brand’s outsized Drop earrings went viral and quickly sold out — here are a handful of pairs to try instead. By Jennifer Berry Date November 30, 2022 You know that line in Mean Girls “I saw Cady Heron wearing army pants and flip flops, so I bought army pants and flip flops”? Despite my urge to resist the influence of the Kardashian-Jenners and their oh-so-well-oiled marketing machine, I sometimes find myself feeling that way about Kendall Jenner’s outfits. From her penchant for cool prints to her embrace of kooky knitwear, Kendall’s style of late…

Pinterest posted its slowest quarterly revenue growth in nearly two years and turned a loss, the latest social media platform to fall victim to a slowdown in advertising spending by companies worried about a gloomy economic outlook. Decades-high inflation is forcing companies to make cuts to their marketing budgets this year, driving online players such as Alphabet, Meta and Snap to intensely compete for shrinking ad dollars. Pinterest’s third-quarter revenue grew 8 percent to $684.6 million (roughly Rs. 5,600 crore), mirroring a slowdown seen at its bigger rivals. The figure was, however, higher than the $666.71 million (roughly Rs. 5,500 crore)…

There is more melted rock under Yellowstone Caldera – a volcano in Wyoming – than was previously estimated, but that doesn’t change the likelihood of an eruption Earth 1 December 2022 By James Dinneen The Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National ParkLorcel/Shutterstock The magma reservoir beneath the Yellowstone Caldera contains almost twice as much melted rock as previously thought. The increased estimate, however, doesn’t meet the threshold that suggests an eruption at Yellowstone is more likely. The Yellowstone Caldera in north-western Wyoming is one of the largest volcanoes in the world. In the past 2.1 million years, it has seen…

Renewables are on track to generate more power than coal in the United States this year. But the question is whether they can grow fast enough to meet the country’s climate goals. Supply chain constraints and trade disputes have slowed wind and solar installations, raising questions about the United States’ ability to meet the emission reductions sought by the Inflation Reduction Act. The Biden administration is banking on the landmark climate law cutting emissions by 40 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. Many analysts think the United States will ultimately shake off the slowdown thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act’s…

As a shopping editor, I spend a large proportion of my time scrolling through online stores, eagle-eyed and on the lookout for the best buys. As we’re a site that tries to cater to all needs (high-street, high-end and second-hand), I like to think that I have a pretty good idea of what constitutes a successful purchase. This is, however, particularly tricky when it comes to high-street, as you can’t always rely on price to guarantee quality (which, to be fair, it doesn’t always). While there are a few items that can benefit from a little more expense, in general, I’d say that you can usually find expensive-looking high-street iterations of…

In its best moments, Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis felt like a raucous rock concert. But Elvis was a 159 minute movie — basically the length of a concert itself — and it had to cram in decades in its title character’s life, along with all of his memorable songs. A lot got cut out.Luhrmann has already said he has enough material for a much longer Elvis director’s cut, but he recently told Indiewire more about some of the material he’d like to restore. Specifically, he praised Austin Butler for his performance as Elvis Presley, and for the way he threw himself into recreating Elvis’ concerts. He also revealed…

Ever since it was announced earlier this year that Riverdale would be wrapping up with its seventh season, there have been questions about how the show would go out. The series started relatively grounded in reality during its first season, but it went on to embrace the supernatural in later seasons, which has divided fans. In a recent interview with Variety while promoting Freevee’s Hotel for the Holidays, Cheryl Blossom actress Madelaine Petsch revealed that the show is shaking things up. “We are shaking things up.

Simon & Schuster has admitted that its supposedly hand-signed copies of Bob Dylan’s The Philosophy of Modern Song contained replica autographs. The publisher issued authenticity certificates with the limited-edition run but acknowledged on Sunday (November 20) that Dylan had not signed the $599 books. Since the books began arriving last week, online sleuths have identified what they believe to be 17 variations of Dylan’s autograph, recreated using an automated signing machine, or autopen, as Variety notes. After initially refusing refunds, the publisher now says buyers will be refunded and can keep their copies at no cost.“To those who purchased the…

The Nielsen streaming charts for the week of November 7 featured some big surprises. We’ll start with the least surprising: Netflix’s decision to bring Manifest back from the dead has paid off — big time.

When the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), the world’s governing body for soccer, proclaimed that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar would be “a fully carbon-neutral event,” the collective chortle that emerged from environmentalists could have powered a wind farm. The environmental nonprofit Carbon Market Watch blasted what it called FIFA’s “creative accounting” and issued a report charging that World Cup organizers’ stated goal “to reach carbon neutrality before the tournament kicks off” was fanciful at best. Carbon footprint calculations, the report noted, “can only take place after the event,” so heralding net-zero status beforehand “is premature and unworkable.”…

We’re in the process of testing the latter and will share our thoughts soon. Specs to look for: Intel Core i5, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSDThe most affordable, smallest member of the Surface lineup is the 10.5-inch Surface Go 3.
