Are you ready to say goodbye to See? The hit Apple TV+ drama wraps up its run later this month. Before we get to that, we have See Season 3 Episode 7, which brings plenty of conflict to the surface. TV Fanatic scored an exclusive first look at the installment that will surely switch things up. Queen Kane (Sylvia Hoeks) and Kofun (Archie Madekwe) get into quite the war of words in the clip as they both come to terms with the big changes. It certainly leaves us with many questions as we head into the episode. As previously reported,…
When Yvonne Y. Clark, also known as Y.Y., started college at Howard University as a mechanical engineering student, there were three things she swore she’d never do: marry a tall man, become a teacher and work for the government.

She later moved back to the South, where Brown v. Board of Education had recently integrated public schools, prompting a violent backlash. [Are you new to this season of…
Getty I know what you’re thinking: “Trench coats and sweaters?! It’s only July!” But in my somewhat professional opinion, it’s never too early to start thinking about fall fashion, which is arguably the best time of the year for dressing. It’s cold enough to wear all of your favorite pieces at the same time (hello, layers!), but warm enough to actually go outside and show off your fit. Exciting, right? So, why wait?! Plus, with so many clutch deals and stylish finds available on Amazon, now’s the time to get a head start on fall clothing and accessory shopping. Below,…
When Aleksandr Zhukov went on trial last year, he stood accused of defrauding US companies, including The New York Times and pet care brand Purina, out of millions of dollars. According to the court, the then 41-year-old set up a company that promised to show online adverts to humans, but he instead placed those adverts on an elaborate network of fake websites where they were seen only by bots. Yet Zhukov’s defense did not center around his innocence or his remorse. Rather, he said he was giving the online economy exactly what it wanted: cheap traffic, whatever the source.“There was…
Anton Fier, drummer for bands including the Feelies, the Lounge Lizards, and the Golden Palominos, has died.

Imagine you have 20 new compounds that have shown some effectiveness in treating a disease like tuberculosis (TB), which affects 10 million people worldwide and kills 1.5 million each year. For effective treatment, patients will need to take a combination of three or four drugs for months or even years because the TB bacteria behave differently in different environments in cells — and in some cases evolve to become drug-resistant. Twenty compounds in three- and four-drug combinations offer nearly 6,000 possible combinations. How do you decide which drugs to test together? In a recent study, published in the September issue…

The Bring It On franchise has been around since 2000, taking viewers into the world of cheerleading. The seventh entry in the series, Bring It On: Cheer Or Die, is a complete overhaul, adding a slasher element that was not present in the prior installments. Director Karen Lam wanted to switch things up for fans of the franchise. “I think of this one as the Halloween special, the way a lot of franchise shows have a holiday-themed stand-alone,” Lam tells TV Fanatic. “It’s definitely in the horror category, but it’s a throwback to the fun horror from the 80s, and…

The solar system is unlikely to lose stability for the next 1,00,000 years, according to a new study. While outer space may be filled with mysterious and sometimes violent interstellar phenomena that could have an impact on the Earth and the solar system it resides in, the orbits of bodies in the solar system are unlikely to be affected for 100 millennia, according to mathematicians from the University of Sofia. Instead of looking at longer timelines spanning billions of years, the researchers covered a smaller scale, improving the reliability of their findings.Researchers from the University of Sofia in Bulgaria have…
New Zealand-based band Crooked Royals are premiering their new song “Counterfeit” exclusively via Heavy Consequence. The track arrives ahead of the group’s debut album, Quarter Life Daydream, out October 21st via Periphery’s 3DOT Recordings. The band notably features two vocalists — Christian Carstensen on clean parts and Lee Mackley on gutturals — who trade off to create a push-and-pull effect. It works splendidly on “Counterfeit,” evoking hints of Linkin Park, albeit with a more metalcore edge. Tapped guitars and tightly pocketed rhythms guide the track through its near-three-minute duration. “‘Counterfeit’ is about the duality of perception,” remarked Crooked Royals in…

On Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 8 and 9, the skies over Earth will glimmer with flaming space rocks and dust during the annual Draconid meteor shower. Unfortunately, the full Hunter’s Moon, which peaks on the same nights, will largely outshine this year’s shooting star spectacle.Meteor showers occur when Earth passes through the clouds of rocky debris left behind by comets. During the Draconids, our planet collides with millions of small, icy rocks left by the comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, which passes through our solar system and crosses Earth’s orbit once every 6.5 years, according to NASA.

Photography courtesy of Getty “I was so hungry that I had trouble falling asleep at night.” By Antonia Whyatt Date September 14, 2022 The last time you filled out a job application, you probably didn’t have to complete a section asking for your height, your weight and a swimsuit photo. But go to the “Become a Contestant” page on the Miss Universe Canada website and there it is, nestled between birthdate and address. It’s astonishing—after years of extended sizing entering the mainstream and the likes of Lizzo and Rihanna celebrating beauty diversity—that in 2022, the famously fatphobic competition still exists.…

Credit: CC0 Public Domain Ten years after the state of California recognized the human right to water, hundreds of thousands of residents still rely on drinking water that contains dangerous levels of contaminants, including the highly toxic mineral arsenic.

A new study led by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and Virginia Tech is one of the first to analyze how incarcerated individuals in California may be impacted by arsenic-contaminated water.
