If the pilot episode gave us an outline of the series, Night Court Season 1 Episode 2 starts to color in the details. We see that improving the world drives Abby to engage others in her mission and how that engagement causes the others to react. And, like the first day in the prison yard, she takes on the biggest challenge first — turning Dan Fielding into an empathetic, connected public defender. To be fair, I personally thought Dan’s showmanship in defending Carmine was pretty brilliant. Abby can’t accuse him of not putting in an effort since filling the gallery…
Origami is the art of folding paper, but what’s the most times you can fold a paper in half? (Image credit: Aliaksandr Barysenka / EyeEm via Getty Images)A common claim states that a sheet of paper cannot be folded in half more than seven times. But is this true? How many times can you fold a piece of paper? In 2002, Britney Gallivan, then a junior in high school in Pomona, California, folded a single piece of paper in half 12 times. She currently holds the Guinness World Record (opens in new tab) for the most times to fold a sheet…

They were both masked at the time, and Bongiovi carried Brown’s dog, a poodle named Winnie, in a tote bag.…

Robots have been designed to move in ways that mimic animal movements, such as walking and swimming. Scientists are now considering how to design robots that mimic the gliding motion exhibited by flying snakes. In Physics of Fluids, by AIP Publishing, researchers from the University of Virginia and Virginia Tech explored the lift production mechanism of flying snakes, which undulate side-to-side as they move from the tops of trees to the ground to escape predators or to move around quickly and efficiently. The undulation allows snakes to glide for long distances, as much as 25 meters from a 15-meter tower.…

DC’s Batgirl might never see the light of day, but Leslie Grace has made sure that fans at least got an idea of what they could have expected had her movie not been dropped by HBO Max. The In The Heights star shared the images in a video montage posted to her Instagram page on Sunday, January 1. The video highlighted some of Grace’s most memorable moments of 2022, including several behind-the-scenes photos and clips from Batgirl, which was controversially axed by Warner Bros. Discovery last August despite having finished filming. “Thank u for teachin’ me, 2022. you were singular…
On the website Infinite Conversation, the German filmmaker Werner Herzog and the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek are having a public chat about anything and everything. Their discussion is compelling, in part, because these intellectuals have distinctive accents when speaking English, not to mention a tendency toward eccentric word choices. But they have something else in common: both voices are deepfakes, and the text they speak in those distinctive accents is being generated by artificial intelligence. I built this conversation as a warning. Improvements in what’s called machine learning have made deepfakes—incredibly realistic but fake images, videos or speech—too easy to…
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt this year, it’s that ‘airport style’ is most definitely a thing. Traditionally, long-haul dressing was all about comfort but nowadays our favourite celebs know that a stylish travel outfit can be just as impactful as a red carpet look.And while you might not be jetting off to the same destinations or events as the celeb pack, it doesn’t mean you can’t still dress to impress on your next flight (or even train journey!). When it comes to nailing travelling in style, there are few things that celebrities always seem to rely on, like a large…

Many believe our particularly large brain is what makes us human – but is there more to it? The brain’s shape, as well as the shapes of its component parts (lobes) may also be important.Results of a study we published Thursday (Jan. 5) in (opens in new tab) show that the way the different parts of the human brain evolved separates us from our primate relatives. In a sense, our brains never grow up. We share this “Peter Pan syndrome” with only one other primate – the Neanderthals.Our findings provide insight into what makes us human, but also further narrow any…

A dedicated video editing keyboard might seem like overkill for most casual users, but don’t write it off until you’ve tried Blackmagic’s DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor. This little gadget packs so much efficiency, including the brand’s Studio software, in one small package that it might just be worth the money. Blackmagic’s DaVinci Resolve is easily the best free video editor you can find. Seasoned editors might find the migration a little tough since the program has some workflow quirks that are just different enough to trip up muscle memory, but in my experience, converting my workflow was well worth the transition.The…
“Sometimes you gotta be bad to do good,” says Marisa Davila’s Jane in the new teaser trailer for Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies. With those words, the stage is set for the prequel series, which premieres on Paramount+ on April 6th. Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies is set in 1954 — four years before the events of Grease. In the series, Jane teams with Nancy (played by Tricia Fukuhara), Olivia (Cheyenne Wells), and Cynthia (Ari Notartomaso) at Rydell High to form the titular Pink Ladies girl gang, and sets off a moral panic in the process. Their efforts…

Judy Blume books have been there for me at every age of my life. In elementary school, I laughed as my mom read Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing out loud to me and my sister.

I learned a lot about sex from the infamous Forever… and still reread Judy…
Surprises are usually good because you had no idea something was gonna happen. Some episodes are good when there are low expectations. We strayed from the standard format on The Rookie: Feds Season 1 Episode 12 and dived into the world of true crime. Mark and Laura got hot and bothered by two different things, while Carter fanboyed over bigfoot. Knowing what to expect is usually a good idea, but changing things up occasionally is not the worst. The Rookie universe has a formula that has proven to be successful, but once in a while, they serve something different. This was not…
Oral cancer is the 13th most common type of cancer globally, and oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) account for more than 90% of oral cancers. An estimated 300,000 new cases and 145,000 deaths worldwide were attributed to oral cancer in 2012. Since oral cancer occurs in one of the most accessible sites in the body, it can be easily treated if detected promptly. If caught early in the disease state, oral cancers that remain localized and are 2 centimeters or smaller can be cured and five-year survival rates exceed 90%. In Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology B, copublished by…
It’s a tried-and-trusted colour palette that we know we turn to year after year, as each shade looks good individually but also seamlessly complements the other. We’ve noticed members of the style set also getting on board with the colour combinations, as many of our fashion friends have been posting idyllic images dressed in shades of beige, cream, grey, navy and brown. For those wanting to add a little more colour, orange and a deep shade of burgundy have also been on high rotation.While black is also on the list for this season and never fails to look slick, we’re choosing to prioritise lighter colours. Not only…
It’s clear that Hunga involved an unusually explosive recipe that may not be easily replicated. For about a month, the eruption had progressed as expected—moderately violent, with gas and ash, but manageable. Then everything went sideways. That appears to be the result of at least two factors, Cronin says. One was the mixing of sources of magma with slightly different chemical compositions down below. As these interacted, they produced gasses, expanding the volume of the magma within the confines of the rock. Under tremendous pressure, the rocks above began to crack, allowing the cold seawater to seep in. “The seawater…
A London court has dismissed six charges of sexual assault filed against Rex Orange County earlier this year, BBC News reports. The British singer-songwriter had denied a woman’s allegations of unwanted touching. In a statement today, he said independent evidence including CCTV footage and a witness account had failed to support the allegations. The Crown Prosecution service told the BBC that the evidence no longer met its test for prosecution.“I have never assaulted anyone and I do not condone violence or abusive behaviour of any kind,” Rex Orange County’s statement reads, in part. “It’s been a difficult time for everyone…
