This is a film about what it means to have children and the pulverising consequences that come from potentially losing them before they have had time to thrive. In terms of emotional trigger points and failsafe methods to make a cinema audience sob, the premature death of a child is equivalent to holding four aces – a surefire victory on those dark terms. In her new film Hamnet, the filmmaker Chloé Zhao does not soft-pedal the realities of dealing with infant mortality, though nor does she lean on maudlin sentiment or shy away from the fact that the darkest moments in life call for…

Phish frontman Trey Anastasio has published a lengthy tribute to his longtime friend, Bob Weir, following news of his passing at the age of 78 on Saturday. Anastasio shared that he and Weir had known each other for years, but grew very close around Grateful Dead’s 50th anniversary “Fare Thee Well” concerts. “I went out to his beach house, and we spent three nights there alone, just the two of us: playing guitar, cooking scrambled eggs, listening to records, working out, talking, and walking on the beach,” Anastasio recounted. Weir regaled Anastasio with the “incredible stories about his life,” ranging…
I admit it: Sometimes I’m “basic.” More often than not, I style my black tops—whether a casual T-shirt or a sophisticated silk blouse—with black pants. It’s a habit because an all-black ensemble is fail-proof. It always looks expensive and polished. Nevertheless, I’ve decided that 2026 is the year to break my routine and choose pants that feel more modern, cooler, and stylish with black tops. The only trouser color I’m focusing on is gray, which adds a fresh, intriguing touch to any black top. I’m not alone in this trend; Jennifer Lopez has already embraced it.J.Lo recently showcased this pairing…
If you’re looking for a top-notch Dolby Atmos soundbar, it’s hard to beat the Sonos Arc Ultra. But Sonos is still recovering from its self-imposed 2024 software fiasco, and many of its once-loyal customers have sought refuge with the company’s competitors. Chief among these is Bluesound, a wireless, multiroom audio ecosystem from the Great White North.With a collection of speakers, subwoofers, and music streamers that closely mirrors Sonos’ lineup, Bluesound is especially popular with audiophiles who value the company’s support of lossless, hi-res audio formats and have been willing to pay a premium for it (Bluesound devices typically cost 30…

The four crew members of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-11 mission to the International Space StationSpaceX For the first time, astronauts are being evacuated from the International Space Station (ISS) for medical reasons. The exact nature of the “medical situation” has not been identified for privacy reasons, nor has the astronaut it has affected.

NBC There’s no question that “Friends” became one of the most beloved sitcoms ever in large part due to its irreplaceable ensemble. Creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane cast the perfect actors for the six main roles, and while the writing on the show was always a big part of its charm, the writers had some incredible talent on which to rely. It wasn’t just that each actor brought their own sensibility to their roles, either. The group was clearly tight-knit off-screen, which only helped their on-screen chemistry and made…
The Abbott Elementary Season 5 Episode 10 release date and time is on the horizon. The show finally returned to the air last week after its long winter break. In the mid-season premiere episode, “Mall,” the staff were forced to temporarily relocate the school to a nearby abandoned mall after the boiler incident.

However, nothing is ever as easy as it seems, as chaos soon ensues. Here are all the details you need…

Paramount Network “Yellowstone” came to a controversial end with its fifth season, and former star Kevin Costner has some ideas about how things should have wrapped up. Costner’s John Dutton was killed off in the premiere episode of Season 5B after an alleged feud between the star and series creator Taylor Sheridan. When the show finally returned, things were just as dramatic as ever. But by the end of the long-awaited final batch of episodes, the Yellowstone ranch had been sold off, John Dutton didn’t make it out alive, and most of the Duttons…

Duran Duran paid tribute to the victim of a fatal ICE shooting in Minnesota during a recent concert. At its Friday (Jan. 9) concert at the Thunder Valley Casino in Sacramento, California, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame–inducted band dedicated its 1993 song “Ordinary World” to 37‑year‑old Renee Good, who was shot and killed earlier in the week during an ICE operation in Minnesota. The somber moment was captured in a fan-recorded video posted on Threads. “We believe that people in this world have a right to live their lives in peace and lives of freedom and happiness in…
The Row’s influence is unmistakable—it’s a subtle yet powerful force. Rather than overtly encouraging consumerism, the brand, founded by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, serves as a master class in style, prompting a reconsideration of personal taste. It has trained the fashion world to prioritize fabric quality, precise proportions, the movement of garments, and versatile styling potential before rushing to judgment or making a purchase. The effect of the brand on individual wardrobes is a widely shared experience. While I have many examples, the most recent and impactful is how it convinced me to swap my sheer stockings for cashmere tights.If…

This week’s science news was all about discoveries made by the world’s best telescopes, as the James Webb Space Telescope verified the existence of a runaway supermassive black hole escaping its host galaxy at 2.2 million miles per hour (3.6 million km/h).The black hole, which is leaving behind a stunning contrail of stars in its wake, confirms more than five decades of research. And it’s not the only celestial object offering evidence for long-standing astronomical theories this week — there was also Cloud-9, a failed galaxy discovered by the Hubble telescope, that appears to be held together by dark matter.Meanwhile,…
ABC From the moment Ryan Guzman joined the cast of “9-1-1” as Eddie Diaz in its second season, fans have been anticipating — nay, demanding — that Eddie should pursue a romantic relationship with fellow firefighter Buck (Oliver Stark), and not without good reason. First of all, there’s the undeniable chemistry between Guzman and Stark, as well as the fact that Buck has basically become a second father to Eddie’s son Christopher. The show’s writers are well aware of this, peppering the scripts with little winks and nods that suggest…
It’s nearing a quarter-century since the retirement of “Prince” Naseem Hamed, Sheffield’s world champion boxer of Yemeni heritage. For a while, in the run-up to the new millennium, he was everywhere: transcending the sports section to provide primetime entertainment and front-page news, bolstering his swelling celebrity with both combative talent (career record: 36 wins, only one loss) and a showman swagger that fitted the shameless Nineties to a tee. What the Gallagher brothers were to the festival stage, so Hamed was to the boxing ring. Just as Oasis are back among us, so too is Prince Naz – albeit in the form of this Sly…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Codex Arcanum 1888 (The Alchemical Chronicles Book 1)? Late-Victorian London sits at a fault line between science and superstition, progress and unease. I was drawn to that tension, to the British Museum as a keeper of hidden knowledge, and to figures like Helena Blavatsky, who moved between scholarship and the esoteric. Clara Whitmore grew out of the question: what happens when an observant, intelligent woman stumbles into that world? If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Codex Arcanum 1888 (The Alchemical Chronicles…
Trees floating towards the Arctic OceanCarl Christoph Stadie/The Alfred Wegener Institute Cutting down swathes of boreal forest and sinking the trees into the depths of the Arctic Ocean could remove up to 1 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year. Coniferous trees prone to wildfires could be felled and carried to the ocean by six major Arctic rivers including the Yukon and Mackenzie, where they would sink in about a year, according to a team of researchers. “There is now a forest that is sequestering lots of carbon, but now the next thing is how to store…

The Washington National Opera is leaving its longtime home at the Kennedy Center. According to the New York Times, opera leadership said the decision stemmed from a drop in attendance and a decline in donor contributions in the wake of Donald Trump’s takeover of the venue, as well as the ensuing wave of artists who have canceled their own performances at the Kennedy Center in protest. In recent weeks, Wicked composer Stephen Schwartz and Grammy-winning banjoist Béla Fleck have pulled out of scheduled appearances with the opera. “Today, the Washington National Opera announced its decision to seek an amicable early…
Sure, burgundy may feel like a winter staple, but in truth, it’s been absent from the spotlight for months. After peaking in early autumn, the rich red shade faded into the background, eclipsed by frostier hues—crisp whites, slate greys and pastel pinks have dominated the season instead. But Catherine, Princess of Wales, has just reminded me why none of them quite compares to the wintry allure of a deep wash of burgundy.Breathing fresh life into the once-forgotten shade, Kate stepped out in a burgundy jacket-and-trouser set, layered with a tonal blouse for a refined, streamlined finish. Elevating the look further,…
As age-verification laws continue to dismantle the adult industry—and determine the future of free speech on the internet—a Utah lawmaker proposed a bill this week that would enforce a tax on porn sites that operate within the state.Introduced by state senator Calvin Musselman, a Republican, the bill would impose a 7 percent tax on total receipts “from sales, distributions, memberships, subscriptions, performances, and content amounting to material harmful to minors that is produced, sold, filmed, generated, or otherwise based” in Utah. If passed, the bill would go into effect in May and would also require adult sites to pay a…
