Update: Beyoncé will be removing a lyric from “Heated” following backlash for using ableist language. In the original song, she says the line, “Spazzin’ on that ass, spazz on that ass.”Spasticity, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine, is a muscular condition often seen in people who have cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, spinal cord injury, and others. Following the release of Renaissance, writer Hannah Diviney, who has cerebral palsy, called out the ableist slur in “Heated” in a piece for The Guardian. She had previously pointed out Lizzo’s usage of the term in her song “Grrls,” which was then removed after…

Veteran rock drummer Vinny Appice — he performed with the heavy metal legend Ronnie James Dio in the bands Dio, Black Sabbath and Heaven & Hell — has lashed out at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for not including more of the late singer in its museum.In fact, he called the institution “fucking assholes.”After all, the Rock Hall has a history of what many of us metal fans perceive as snubs to our favorite music. The Hall will finally include metal pioneers Judas Priest just this year, and in what some see as a rather backhanded way.As Appice shared with Talkin’ Bout Rock this month, he clearly feels the same way about its treatment of Dio.”They’re a bunch of fucking assholes,” Appice…

Aedes aegyptii mosquito biting a person. Credit: CDC Mosquitoes that spread Zika, dengue and yellow fever are guided toward their victims by a scent from human skin. The exact composition of that scent has not been identified until now. A UC Riverside-led team discovered that the combination of carbon dioxide plus two chemicals, 2-ketoglutaric and lactic acids, elicits a scent that causes a mosquito to locate and land on its victim. This chemical cocktail also encourages probing, the use of piercing mouthparts to find blood. This chemical mixture appears to specifically attract female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, vectors of Zika as…

As the soup collapsed inward toward the center of the solar system, its molecules would be squeezed closer together and the pressure would rise. It would take a few minutes for this pressure to build up to levels that would crush you. If you were in some kind of a soup bathyscaphe, the pressure vessels that people use to visit deep ocean trenches, you could conceivably last a little longer.There would be nothing you could do to escape the soup. Everything inside it would flow inward toward the singularity. In the regular universe, we’re all dragged forward through time with…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Free to Reunite? Here’s my truth; I was bullied. I had loved ones hazed. This book is inspired by the journey I, myself, traveled to arrive at my own HEA. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Free to Reunite, what would they be?

The poles are warming several times faster than the global average, causing record smashing heatwaves that were reported earlier this year in both the Arctic and Antarctic. Melting ice and collapsing glaciers at high latitudes would accelerate sea level rise around the planet. Fortunately, refreezing the poles by reducing incoming sunlight would be both feasible and remarkably cheap, according to new research published today in IOP Publishing’s Environmental Research Communications. Scientists laid out a possible future program whereby high-flying jets would spray microscopic aerosol particles into the atmosphere at latitudes of 60 degrees north and south — roughly Anchorage and…
Often, certain items in the fashion world earn their stripes from being an It buy or the latest piece everyone is wearing a particular week. But some items are so established they needn’t be trend-led to be important. We’re talking about the trench coat you’ll wear a million times without ever tiring of it, the tailored trousers that go with any top and the leather bag that’ll become part of your everyday uniform. It’s easy to not shout about these reliable staple pieces, but since they’re the base of many great outfits, it’s time to give them some recognition.While some autumn/winter trends can be tricky to translate…

2022 marks the 30th anniversary of Batman: The Animated Series, the landmark cartoon from Warner Bros. that rewrote the rules of superhero animated series when it debuted in September of 1992. After decades of Batman the Super Friend, the guy who hung around with Scooby-Doo, the dude who talked like your favorite uncle, Batman: The Animated Series gave us a Dark Knight who lived up to that nickname. He was grim, he was angry, he always knew how to find a shadow to stand in, and he sounded (thanks to actor Kevin Conroy) like gravel rubbed on sandpaper.Another thing that made B:TAS different from every other previous…
Drugs like enzalutamide that inhibit male hormones from activating the androgen receptor have been used to treat advanced prostate cancer for more than a decade. While successful in most cases, these drugs can eventually stop working, but there is a limited understanding about how this change occurs. A new study from the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center suggests androgen receptor inhibitors can fundamentally rewire and reshape how prostate tumors function, and in certain cases even make them more aggressive. These findings will be published in Nature Communications on Sept. 15. Male hormones function as fuel, turning on the androgen…

House of the Dragon’s pace has increased considerably as the season has progressed. Looking ahead to House of the Dragon Season 1 Episode 7, it seems like things are getting gnarly between Rhaenyra and Alicent. Everyone looks set to unite for — spoiler alert — Laena’s funeral, but there’s a lot of angst from many of the characters. Since the original trailer for the series, we’ve known that Alicent would pull a knife on her one-time friend, and it looks like that will happen at the funeral. It does make us question what happens before we get to that point.…
Nothing passes gas quite like a dying star.When a star roughly the size of the sun approaches the end of its life, it expels its outer layer of gas into a bright and beautiful bubble known as a planetary nebula. At the center of each bubble, a weakened star continues irradiating its surroundings, sculpting the gas into colorful shapes that astronomers have likened to crabs, reptiles and terrifying screaming faces.One of the strangest and most baffling of these cosmic cloud paintings is the Cat’s Eye Nebula, located about 3,000 light-years from Earth. Seemingly made of several overlapping bubbles of blue…
Photography by Stéphanie Branchu/Netflix Ahead of season three, we break down Emily Cooper’s style rulebook and how to get the look for yourself. By Natalie Michie Date September 23, 2022 Getting the “Emilycore” look showcased in Emily in Paris is pretty simple: think understated pieces, straight-cut silhouettes and versatile neutrals that capture the essence of Parisian chic. Just kidding. For two seasons, the Netflix dramedy has made headlines for its chaotic, impractical costumes – a reflection of the show’s messy plotlines and clunky clichés. And through it all, the titular lead, played by Lily Collins, has earned a questionable sartorial…

Just a couple weeks ago, it seemed like Warner Bros. had finally found its answer to Marvel’s Kevin Feige: The person who would oversee and guide its sprawling multiverse of DC movies and shows. The guy who was in line for the role, according to media reports, was Dan Lin, the producer of movies like The LEGO Batman Movie and and Robert Downey Jr.’s Sherlock Holmes.But now, just a few weeks later, Variety reports that talks between Warner Bros. Discovery and Lin have broken down, and he is “no longer in contention” to become the point man at DC Films.According to their report, a big…

Wow. Talk about a wild hour. 9-1-1 Season 6 Episode 2 took you on a ride, as each storyline this week was a bit gut-wrenching and made for a rather emotional hour. From Hen’s struggles to Athena and Bobby’s trip and Buck’s awakening, my emotions were all over the place. It may be too early to say this, but it feels like 9-1-1 is back. Now, you may be thinking, but 9-1-1 never left? And you would be correct because we’ve gotten episodes, emergencies, character arcs, and the like. But 9-1-1 Season 5, in many ways, didn’t feel like the…
Diatoms are microscopic unicellular algae occurring in natural waters worldwide. During photosynthesis, they take up large quantities of carbon dioxide, the primary greenhouse gas emitted through human activities, and convert it into biomass. The carotenoid fucoxanthin enables diatoms to efficiently harvest the blue-green part of the sunlight for photosynthesis. In collaboration with an international research team, researchers of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) in Germany now discovered how the algae produce this important and widely used pigment. Their work has recently been published in a scientific paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). New insights into the…
