“Is Twitter dying?” billionaire Elon Musk mused in April, five days before offering to buy the social media platform.The reality, according to internal Twitter research seen by Reuters, goes far beyond the handful of examples of celebrities ghosting their own accounts. Twitter is struggling to keep its most active users – who are vital to the business – engaged, underscoring a challenge faced by the Tesla Inc chief executive as he approaches a deadline to close his $44 billion (Rs. 3.6 lakh crore) deal to buy the company.These “heavy tweeters” account for less than 10 percent of monthly overall users but…
Though it’s only January, the third episode of HBO’s post-apocalyptic survival series The Last of Us is already certain to end 2023 as one of the most acclaimed TV episodes of the year. The tearjerking episode, which focused on a decades-spanning love story between two new characters, has been rapturously received in nearly all corners of the media and the internet — and has also led to another streaming success story, this time for Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Linda Ronstadt. Ronstadt’s devastating ballad “Long, Long Time,” which served as her breakout solo hit on the Billboard Hot 100…

On January 30, James Gunn and Peter Safran, the new architects of the DC Universe in film and television, announced the first ten projects for the brand-new DC Studios. There had been a lot of speculation leading up to this announcement, given DC’s deep catalog of characters and their consistent failure to, um, make good stuff with them. Some of the announcements are unsurprising; some are exciting; some are baffling. So I’m here to break down “Gods and Monsters,” a.k.a. “the first part of Chapter 1 of the DCU” into three categories: the Good, the Bad, and the Bizarre. (Actually,…
Scientists from multiple institutions address the challenges and limitations of current fire-fighting gear by introducing wearable, breathable sensors and electrodes to better serve firefighters. Credit: Nano Research, Tsinghua University Press Firefighting may look vastly different in the future thanks to intelligent fire suits and masks developed by multiple research institutions in China. Researchers published results showing breathable electrodes woven into fabric used in fire suits have proven to be stable at temperatures over 520ºC. At these temperatures, the fabric is found to be essentially non-combustible with high rates of thermal protection time. The study was published on January 12, 2023…

This brings me to the next important point: Price is not the only thing to consider when buying on eBay.Know the SellerWe don’t just want the lowest price; we want the best quality item at the lowest price. I’ve found that, unfortunately, photos aren’t a good indicator of product quality. I’ve purchased many items with terrible photos that have turned out to be in excellent shape, and I’ve purchased things with excellent photos that turned out to be junk. (I returned them.)A much better metric to judge the quality of an item is the seller’s feedback rating. A good seller—who…

Nefertiti was an ancient Egyptian queen consort who was likely King Tut’s stepmother and may have ruled as a pharaoh in her own right. She lived during the 18th dynasty during the 14th century B.C., but the years of Nefertiti’s birth and death are not certain.She was the wife of Amenhotep IV (who later changed his name to Akhenaten), a pharaoh who unleashed a revolution that saw Egypt’s religion become focused around the worship of the Aten, the sun disk. He built a new capital city called Akhetaten (modern-day Amarna) that had temples dedicated to the Aten. Nefertiti’s name translates to…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Vilokan Asylum of the Magically and Mentally Deranged Omnibus? I first developed the character of Dr. Cain in my book “Bloody Mad.” In that book, Mercy Brown (a vampire) is committed to an asylum for supernatural creatures. Cain is her doctor. He appears again in The Legend of Nyx series in my book “Bat Shift Crazy.” A while back I sent my readers a poll. I asked them which of my “secondary characters” they’d like to see as the heroes of their own series. Cain won the poll…
LncRNA MIR144HG regulates the antibacterial innate immune mediated by MyD88, TAK1, and p65 by deriving miR-144-3p in fish. Credit: Tianjun Xu MicroRNAs (miRNA) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate almost all biological processes, protein production, inflammatory responses, immune regulation, tumorigenesis and infection. In mammals, the classic formation of miRNA needs to transcribe a long primary miRNA in the nucleus and then process it into hairpin RNA with about 60–70 nucleotides. Eventually, this precursor miRNA will be transported to the cytoplasm for processing and shearing resulting in the generation of mature miRNA. In recent decades, there have been reports of an…
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for That ’90s Show.] There’s one character you won’t be seeing or hearing about on Netflix’s reboot of That 70’s Show, entitled That 90’s Show, and that’s Steve Hyde, originally portrayed in the first iteration by Danny Masterson. The actor and former star was accused of rape which allegedly took place between 2001 and 2003 amid That ’70s Show run. Masterson was arrested in June 2020 and charged with three separate counts; he pled not guilty in 2021. A mistrial was declared after the jury could not reach a unanimous decision after deliberations. Even…

Lyons’ own research takes a similar perspective to Young’s: He investigates whether an alien astronomer observing Earth could have correctly discerned that it’s a life-friendly place. That means inferring the contents of our atmosphere throughout the past 4 billion or so years that our world has hosted life, and then determining whether the levels of biologically derived gases would be detectable from space. (Another team has tried to suss out whether beings on other planets could spot us by using the technique we use to find rocky exoplanets in other solar systems. With the right vantage point, these researchers think, aliens…
When tickets for Bad Bunny’s El Último Tour del Mundo arena tour went on presale in April 2021, his manager, Noah Assad, was cautiously optimistic. “I thought we would do well, because it was post-pandemic and everyone wanted to go out, but we went on sale without really knowing — and we did it a year out for that very reason,” says Assad. For Assad, “doing well” has become synonymous with breaking some sort of record. But even he wasn’t expecting Bad Bunny to have one of the most historic, record-setting runs for an artist in the history of the Billboard…

The brains of older adults with obesity show patterns of gray matter loss that are strikingly similar to those seen in people with early Alzheimer’s disease, a new study suggests. These patterns overlap in the location of the tissue loss but not in the severity; in other words, Alzheimer’s patients exhibit a far greater degree of brain atrophy than cognitively healthy, obese adults of the same age do.”The degree of the changes is much lower in obesity,” confirmed Filip Morys (opens in new tab), first author of the new study and a postdoctoral fellow at McGill University’s Montreal Neurological Institute. However,…

Adam Sandler’s long association with Netflix continues. Sandler has been making movies for the streaming service for so long now, in fact — it’s been almost eight years since The Ridiculous 6, if you’re keeping score at home — that he’s now produced a sequel to one of his early Netflix films. That would be Murder Mystery 2, continuing the adventures of the characters, played by Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, first introduced in 2019’s Murder Mystery.Both Sandler and Aniston return for this sequel. The premise should be self-explanatory — although actually based on the film’s trailer, there isn’t technically a murder mystery in this one.…
Vitamin A deficiency is the world’s leading cause of blindness, and in severe cases, it can be fatal. About one-third of the global population of preschool-aged children suffer from this vitamin deficiency, which is most prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. MIT researchers have now developed a new way to fortify foods with vitamin A, which they hope could help to improve the health of millions of people around the world. In a new study, they showed that encapsulating vitamin A in a protective polymer prevents the nutrient from being broken down during cooking or storage. “Vitamin A is…

A team of researchers in China has unveiled a technique that—theoretically—could crack the most common methods used to ensure digital privacy, using a rudimentary quantum computer. The technique worked in a small-scale demonstration, the researchers report, but other specialists are sceptical that the procedure could be scaled up to beat ordinary computers at the task. Still, they warn that the paper, posted late last month on the arXiv repository, is a reminder of the vulnerability of online privacy. Quantum computers are known to be a potential threat to current encryption systems, but the technology is still in its infancy. Researchers…
