It’s rare for a series to start brilliantly, continue on that trajectory, and then stick the landing. It’s why you typically hear those same TV series when people talk about the greatest of all time. Breaking Bad, The Wire, The Sopranos, Seinfeld, and Mad Men—these series stayed consistent and kept audiences engrossed from start to finish.

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Sara My Sara: A Memoir of Friendship and Loss? In 2019, my best friend Sara was diagnosed with the aggressive brain cancer glioblastoma, and she passed away seventeen months later. After her death, I was too shattered to even think about writing about this experience. However, two years later, the book started to take form, and I decided to structure it into three parts: “With Sara,” “Sara Disappears,” and “Without Sara.” Writing helped me navigate and make sense of my grief, and when I read over the first draft,…
Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have identified a component of water on the mysterious metal-rich asteroid Psyche. The findings suggest the hydration exists as rust and may shed light on how this enigmatic object formed.The asteroid 16 Psyche is pretty unusual for the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Measuring an enormous 173 miles (280 kilometers) at its widest, the potato-shaped object was once thought to be wholly metallic. Psyche’s supershiny surface had led researchers to suggest the asteroid was possibly the iron-rich heart of a planetesimal (a planetary building block) and could unravel how Earth…

This time last year, Dean Grubbs and his colleagues were celebrating a conservation success story. The star was the smalltooth sawfish, a type of large ray with a saw-like snout trimmed with tiny teeth. A victim of coastal development and bycatch, in 2003 it became the first sea fish to get US federal protection under the Endangered Species Act. By 2023, Florida’s population of sawfish, the last in the US, was on the rise. “We were excited. We were seeing the population start to recover,” says Grubbs, a marine ecologist at Florida State University. Then disaster struck. In January, sawfish…
After watching The Black Widower: The Six Wives of Thomas Randolph, the first thing that came to mind was: “What were these women thinking?” But then I remembered what my mother told me years after she divorced her second husband, a guy with similar traits to Thomas Randolph. I asked her what she saw in him. She said, “He was like a thrill ride.” (Investigation Discovery/Screenshot) That appears to be the same reason why six women were duped by the man at the center of this Investigation Discovery true crime docuseries.

GettyPS Photography | Jessica AndrewsGettyPS Photography | Jessica AndrewsOn many a frantic morning in my teenage years, my mother would yell upstairs from the kitchen for me to get dressed faster. “School isn’t a fashion show,” she’d say.

Each day had a sartorial theme that I had painstakingly planned for weeks or even months. One week, I embraced my newfound love of purple and wore a lavender-hued outfit each day. Another time, I discovered Baby…

Entertainment prophesied the future more often than you might believe. We expect that from science fiction shows, but more often than not, comedy predicts events that come to pass. TV has often gotten there first, whether it’s political events, global catastrophes, or which couples might split for drama. It creates a fictional future that later turns out to be uncannily accurate. (]CBS/Screenshot], [Disney+/Screenshot[, [BBC/Screenshot], [NBC/Screenshot], [FOX/Screenshot]) Shows Like The Twilight Zone Warn Of Dangerous Futures Unsurprisingly, both The Twilight Zone and Doctor Who were ahead of their time, predicting current events fifty or more years ago.
