Photography via Warner Bros. Or is it just a neon-splattered fever dream? By Jennifer Berry Date December 16, 2022 Do you think we’ll all be a little sick of singing “come on Barbie, let’s go party?” by the time Barbie actually comes out in July 2023? Considering how long the film has been teased already, it’s not an entirely unfair question. Despite the fact that the first official Barbie teaser just dropped, the film has been in its hype era for way longer. In July of this year, the internet couldn’t stop obsessing over images of Margot Robbie and Ryan…

One sings about “Bad Religion,” the other sings about “Bad Romance.” According to Godsmack drummer Shannon Larkin, frontman Sully Erna once dated pop superstar Lady Gaga. While appearing on the 2020’d podcast, Larkin was asked by the host (who appeared to have some inside knowledge) about Erna’s relationship with Gaga. “I don’t think [it’s] a secret,” responded Larkin. “I don’t think Sully would bum out if people knew he dated Lady Gaga. I mean, she’s hot, and she’s mega talented.” The drummer went on to say that, unlike certain other rock stars, Erna didn’t go out of his way to publicize…
Following the shocking cancellation of HBO’s Westworld, star James Marsden has spoken out, saying that a show’s financial success should not be the only thing that determines its worth. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Marsden said that it was “disappointing” how Westworld ended, and despite having gratitude for his experience, it would’ve been nice to finish the story of the show. “I’d be lying to you if I told you that the way we ended Westworld wasn’t a disappointment,” Marsden said. “I’m never going to speak without gratitude about any of my experiences, but it would have been nice to…

It’s the end of the road for Mayans M.C. on FOX. It was announced Thursday during the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour that the Sons of Anarchy spinoff will conclude with its upcoming fifth season. The news is a bit of a shocker, especially given that production is already well underway. My hope is that the creatives had a chance to construct a final season from the get-go and that this wasn’t a last-minute decision that will lead to an unsatisfying finale. It’s difficult to imagine how the show ends. I mean, the characters are in a pressure cooker…
Fragments of temperate rainforest grow in parts of England, Wales and Scotland, and with the right action we could help them thrive Environment 28 November 2022 By Guy Shrubsole Black Tor Beare, a rainforest on Dartmoor in south-west EnglandGuy Shrubsole FOR most of my life, I didn’t realise that Britain has rainforests. But then, two years ago, I moved to Devon. Exploring woods in forgotten valleys and steep-sided gorges, I found places exuberant with life. I witnessed branches dripping with mosses and trees festooned with lichens and liverworts. Even in winter, when deciduous trees lose their leaves, these woodlands were green…
Kim Kardashian often adheres to strict diets, which traditionally eschew alcohol. She has apparently been off the caffeine as well, but has decided to “let loose a little bit” with her personal rules around both. The reality star told Gwyneth Paltrow on her Goop Podcast that she actually stopped with alcohol because she “hates the taste.” Until she started getting into tequila.“I started to drink a little bit at the age of 42. Coffee and alcohol,” she explained. “I feel like I just gotta let loose a little bit. Cause why not, you know? I just feel like I work…
Living among mines then has a well-documented deleterious effect on a country’s psychological health. Research shows that just the knowledge that you are in an area contaminated with explosives can lead to psychological scarring—and in some cases to post-traumatic stress disorder—even if you are never wounded by a mine or trap or witness one being triggered. This sometimes presents in surprising and heartbreaking ways. One study, among other findings, found that the test scores of school children in mine-contaminated areas appeared to go up once those areas had been demined. The fear, the uncertainty, the lack of control—it seeps into everything.Survivors of landmine explosions also…

Credit: Dawn Quadling/Shutterstock Biodiversity refers to the variety of life found on Earth and underpins the natural systems which grow our food, cleanse our air and water and regulate our climate. Human life cannot exist without it. But around one million animal and plant species are now threatened by extinction. At the recent UN biodiversity conference (COP15) in Montreal, parties agreed on a set of targets for reversing global biodiversity loss by 2030. This includes protecting 30% of the Earth’s surface and reforming subsidies for farming and fishing. Meeting these targets will require coordination between governments and businesses. Yet the…

Though plants can serve as a source of food, oxygen and décor, they’re not often considered to be a good source of electricity. But by collecting electrons naturally transported within plant cells, scientists can generate electricity as part of a “green,” biological solar cell. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces have, for the first time, used a succulent plant to create a living “bio-solar cell” that runs on photosynthesis. In all living cells, from bacteria and fungi to plants and animals, electrons are shuttled around as part of natural, biochemical processes. But if electrodes are present, the…

As viruses such as COVID-19 spread, they can become endemic in new regions. (Image credit: Peter Zelei Images via Getty Images)You may have heard the term “endemic” used to describe diseases, often in comparison with the terms “epidemic” and “pandemic.” Many health officials say that COVID-19 is likely transitioning from pandemic to endemic status in many countries. But what does that mean? More broadly, the term “endemic” refers to an organism that’s found in a specific region. In ecology, that means a species that lives only in one geographical area, like a plant or animal limited to an island, according to…

Versatile, facile and low-cost single-cell isolation, culture and sequencing by optical tweezer-assisted pool-screening. Credit: Liu Yang Researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have proposed a new technology, called optical tweezer-assisted pool-screening and single-cell isolation (OPSI) system, which achieves 99.7% purity of sorting target cells, with all done in real-time. The study was published in Lab on a Chip on Nov. 29. Current cell-sorting methods cannot effectively sort cells of various sizes while maintaining their viability for future testing. Compared with the currently used methods, the OPSI technology reduces…
