Over the past few years, my outerwear collection has doubled in size, perhaps even tripled. As I’ve worked to nail down my style, I’ve experienced just how transformative the right coat can be; how the perfect outer layer can take your look from good to great — and how you don’t necessarily have to shell out big bucks to find a really nice one. Case in point: while recently perusing Old Navy’s new arrivals for November, I came across the brand’s Long Slouchy Double-Breasted Coat ($95). I loved everything about it from first glance: the neutral colorway, the double-breasted design,…

Mechanics plays a fundamental role in cell biology. Cells navigate these mechanical forces to explore their environments and sense the behaviour of surrounding living cells. The physical characteristics of a cell’s environment in turn impact cell functions. Therefore, understanding how cells interact with their environment provides crucial insights into cell biology and has wider implications in medicine, including disease diagnosis and cancer therapy. So far, researchers have developed numerous tools to study the interplay between cells and their 3D microenvironment. One of the most popular technologies is traction force microscopy (TFM). It is a leading method to determine the tractions…

As an avid lurker on fashion TikTok, my feed usually consists of trend predictions, thrifting hauls and a plethora of outfits of the day. I usually find myself looking at the same slew of fashion people based in NYC or Copenhagen, but sometimes, I find someone with such impeccable style who makes me hit the follow button immediately. That was the case with Larissa Mills, who went viral after her daughter started posting her mum’s outfits, which everyone, including me, wanted more of. At 50 years old, Mills is living proof that trends and style have absolutely no age limit. Mills’s outfits usually consist of relaxed silhouettes,…
This data could add to the challenges Musk faces as he attempts a turnaround for the company, which he has loaded with debt. Advertisers provide the majority of Twitter’s revenue, but some have said in recent weeks that they will reduce or pause spending until they learn more about any changes to the platform’s content policies. “Advertisers cannot invest their dollars on platforms where comprehensive policies on hate speech and misinformation are not in place and consistently enforced,” says Lou Paskalis, a long-time ad executive who previously served as president of MMA Global, a marketing trade group.The Tufts analysis does not…

Family Guy was sitting on a great story idea — Stewie (voiced by series creator Seth MacFarlane) gets canceled after the diabolical baby genius tweets something negative about a pop star — for a while. When the show’s 400th program started to come up, executive producers and co-showrunners Rich Appel and Alex Sulkin decided to use that particular plot for the animated series’ historic episode.

It makes you think of the movements that have influenced your life, those civil efforts that have meant something. There’s always a backstory there, and that’s what matters, not necessarily what you achieved, but what had to happen for you to go on that journey. That was beautiful.And Andor is full of people who both hamper and help Cassian on that journey.It depends on what others deliver. One thing I can tell you that I learned about my character, about where the strength comes from, is when I was acting in front of Andy Serkis.What was formative about that?I realized,…
hey guys – I’m afraid we’re going to have to postpone – until further notice – our US shows – and give serious consideration to our Australian dates in january. following an innocuous, fun rehearsal three weeks ago – during which, as usual, i wore ear protection – i’ve been plagued by various ear issues, tinnitus and apparent hyperacusis amongst them, and am totally unable to perform, barely able to exist in the world as we speak (the idea of getting onto a flight is particularly fucking terrifying, and i’m not just talking about the vegetarian meal options). i have taken advice from ENT doctors,…
For years, James Cameron has been working on not one, not two, not even three, but four Avatar sequels. The first of the sequels, The Way of Water, is finally coming to theaters this Christmas. The plan is for each of the three subsequent Avatars following every other years: In 2024, 2026, and 2028.But that’s the plan. And a lot can change in Hollywood over the course of six years. When Cameron started working on these sequels, he was making them for 20th Century Fox, the studio that released the original Avatar. Now 20th Century Fox doesn’t even exist. What’s left of it is known as 20th…
Everything I do is attached to my childhood.— Jasper Johns Recently, when I was getting paid regularly to write on MEDIUM, I ran a series called “BUT TELL IT SLANT: The Facts Behind the Fiction.” That ran over 4000 words alone. This, therefore, is only a taste in less than 500 words of that story which began the process of writing The Frank Gould Mystery Series, currently appearing in Volume Eight, When Viewed Through Pain (along with three volumes of short stories…let’s not forget those!). Life is a mystery and I am not being immodest to say that only by sheer accident I’ve…

Photography courtesy of ImaxTree Dark details, regal accessories and an uninviting attitude — mourning attire is having a moment. By Natalie Michie Date October 27, 2022 Is it in poor taste to discuss fashion and funerals in the same breath? I’d argue not. The outfits worn to an event of mourning can be a stylistic nod to the person who passed. But beyond that, the wealthy widow character has been an aspirational fashion figure in her own right for decades. It is spooky season, after all. As Mean Girls’ Cady Heron once (kind of) said, “Halloween is the one night…

Some of Taylor Swift’s fans want you to know three things: They’re not still 16, they have careers and resources and, right now, they’re angry. That’s a powerful political motivator, researchers say. Look what Ticketmaster made them do. It started Nov. 15, when millions crowded a presale for Swift’s long-awaited Eras Tour, resulting in crashes, prolonged waits and frantic purchases. By Thursday, Ticketmaster had canceled the general sale, citing insufficient remaining tickets and inciting a firestorm of outrage from fans. Swift herself said the ordeal “really pisses me off.” Ticketmaster apologized but the bad blood had already been sowed. And now fans — and politicians…
