Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has taken quite some time to come out. And while it is still officially scheduled to release on May 26, a new report has alleged that it won’t make that date. According to a new report from Bloomberg (which accurately reported on its previous delay), the live service shooter is being pushed from May to some unspecified time later in the year. One of the sources in the article explains that this delay is mostly to improve certain underwhelming aspects of the game and fix bugs. The gameplay itself isn’t being overhauled, as that…

Everywhere I look, people are begging for sad books! They want books to make them ugly cry, books with devastating endings, books that make them cry in public, the list is endless! Some might think it’s strange to willingly submit yourself to something sure to make you upset, but according to VeryWellMind, it’s perfectly reasonable. Sad short stories and novels alike connect us to our real-life emotions in a controlled way. They make us more grateful for our relationships and the meaning we hold about our lives. This is called the “tragic paradox” or the “paradox of tragedy,” the psychological…
A study led by a North Carolina State University researcher found that under more severe climate warming scenarios, the inventory of trees used for timber in the continental United States could decline by as much as 23% by 2100. The largest inventory losses would occur in two of the leading timber regions in the U.S., which are both in the South. Researchers say their findings show modest impacts on forest product prices through the end of the century, but suggest bigger impacts in terms of storing carbon in U.S. forests. Two-thirds of U.S. forests are classified as timberlands. “We already…

The rituals we build around Santa may be more for our benefit than for our children’s©Martin Parr/Magnum Photos ROHAN KAPITÁNY was 7 when he started to question the existence of Santa Claus. Every Christmas, like many Australian kids, he had left out an apple and a carrot for the reindeer and a cold beer for the man himself – and every year, he found half-eaten snacks and an empty glass alongside a pile of presents the next day. But Kapitány had started having doubts. With his scepticism growing, he even hatched a plan to check his parents’ ATM receipts. “That…
“Hate” is a strong word, which is why I never use it lightly. In fact, there are only two instances in which I can say it with conviction. One is regarding bananas. (I’ll never understand how anyone can eat them.) The other? Being cold. I hate being cold. However, one thing I do like is dressing for the cold.Curating an outfit for sub-zero conditions is often regarded as one of the biggest fashion dilemmas going. But with a bit of advice from yours truly, you can take on the elements with all the knack of a pro snowboarder but with all the sartorial…
Apple is now expected to launch an all-new Mac Pro model with previously undisclosed models of its M2 SoC lineup, likely named ‘M2 Ultra’ and ‘M2 Extreme’. This will mark the completion of Apple’s multi-year plan to migrate away from Intel’s processors to its own in-house Apple Silicon chips. The Mac Pro is Apple’s last remaining model to make the jump, but is aimed at creative professionals who need significant processing power as well as expandability. According to noted Apple supply chain tracker Mark Gurman, in his latest newsletter, hardware testing within Apple has recently gained momentum.The upcoming 2023 Mac Pro…
Demi Lovato just released another new rock song called “Still Alive,” which was produced and co-written by Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda, who also stars in the video along with horror enthusiast Ice Nine Kills frontman Spencer Charnas.”Still Alive” is featured on the soundtrack for the upcoming Scream VI movie. The track sees Lovato expand upon the angsty rock sound she adopted on her most recent album Holy Fvck. Shinoda also appears in the music video with Charnas, and the two rockers portray employees in a hotel where Lovato and her entourage check in before heading to the ballroom for a scary movie viewing.The video also features…
Before Your Eyes was one of the more surprising games of 2021 and not just a cheap gimmick. Interacting with a story solely through blinking was incredibly novel, and GoodbyeWorld Games used that input method to its advantage to intimately tell a heartwarming (and heartbreaking) tale. And while it was inventive, the PlayStation VR2 port of the game is the best way to play it, as it more aptly realizes the mechanic it was built upon. This is partially because capturing blinks in the other versions of the game wasn’t always consistent despite GoodbyeWorld’s best efforts. Both the PC and…
Are more women having affairs? Or are they finally just talking about it? Throughout history, women have been stigmatized, ostracized, and so much worse for committing adultery — while men have too often been given a pass. But the truth is that women have the same wants, needs and desires as men despite cultural assumptions. Hosted by journalist Jo Piazza, this groundbreaking podcast series features real women of different ages and backgrounds telling the stories of their affairs, many for the first time. After five years of reporting on marriage in the wildly popular Committed podcast, Jo is now uncovering the other side…
Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter entered hospice care at his Plains, Ga., home last month. Much has been written about his legacy of stamping out Guinea worm disease, creating affordable housing through Habitat for Humanity and inspiring cancer patients with his own successful fight against metastatic melanoma. Carter may also be the politician who, more than any other, changed the country’s energy future. Under his four years of American leadership, landmark events and legislation opened up a new world of “alternative energy” as a way to wean the country from its troublesome reliance on fossil fuels. Here are seven highlights…

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has suspended production of advanced silicon for Chinese startup Biren Technology to ensure compliance with US regulations, according to a person familiar with the matter.The decision is connected with information in the public domain that Biren’s products outperform Nvidia’s A100 chips, which are now banned for the Chinese market, the person said, asking not to be identified discussing a sensitive matter. While TSMC has not reached a conclusion on whether Biren’s products meet the US threshold for restrictions, the Taiwanese chipmaker has decided to stop supplies to the Chinese startup for now, the person said.Biren, one…
Not every artist loves every song they’ve ever done, and during a recent interview with SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show, KISS’ Gene Simmons revealed the one song in the band’s catalog that he hates to this day. That would be the disco-flavored ’70s hit, “I Was Made for Lovin’ You.”Simmons humorously runs through the first time that Paul Stanley brought the song to him to Stern. “He walks in and he’s got a song, and I said, ‘What’s it called?’ He said, ‘I Was Made for Lovin’ You,’ [and I’m like] ‘Oh that’s great. What’s the first line?’ [He said],…

Credit: CC0 Public Domain The latest report into the rights of children in Aotearoa New Zealand has painted a mixed picture of how the country treats young people. The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child recently published its sixth review into how Aotearoa New Zealand is implementing its obligations under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child 1989. The good news is that Aotearoa New Zealand has made progress in the seven years since the last review. But despite decades of warnings, the country is still failing too many of its children and young people, particularly…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Long Enough to Love You? Life! I am an empty nester and struggled with my place in life and in my marriage. Finding my own diaries (then publishing my memoir based off them) gave me the idea for Tripp. Soul searching complicated by a first love felt like the perfect storm for a fictional book about self-discovery. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Long Enough to Love You, what would they be? I created a whole playlist for this book! For the parts…
Get ready for a wild season of Vanderpump Rules. As fans and cast members react to reports that cast member Tom Sandoval cheated on Ariana Madix with costar Raquel Leviss, Bravo cameras are reportedly still rolling on the reality show’s current, 10th season. On Friday, March 3, TMZ reported that Sandoval, 39, and Madix, 37, had ended their nine-year relationship after Madix found out about an affair between Sandoval and Leviss. The site also said that Vanderpump Rules producers found out about the drama, got cameras rolling, and got the entire cast on set again to capture the fallout. People…
A boulder weighing more than 40 tonnes sits on the sand high above the ocean. Dwarfing every other rock in view, it is conspicuously out of place. The answer to how this massive outlier got here lies not in the vast expanse of the Atacama Desert behind it but in the Pacific Ocean below. Hundreds of years ago, a tsunami slammed into the northern Chilean coast—a wall of water 20 meters high, taller than a six-story building, that swept boulders landward like pebbles. The tsunami that lobbed this behemoth happened before written records existed in Chile. But we know about…
Graphic by Leo Tapel Locs are a beloved hairstyle — and a personal journey that people feel called to for many reasons. By Natasha Boateng Date February 15, 2023 This is Texture Talk, our long-running column that deep dives into the dynamic world of curly hair, from crowns of curls that are free flowing to strands that are tucked away in a protective style. An incredibly empowering thing about afro-textured hair is how versatile it is. Locs — a protective hairstyle where strands of hair are twisted around themselves into permanent fused units — are heavily associated with Black identity…
Australia’s competition regulator has begun court proceedings against Fitbit for allegedly making false or misleading claims to consumers about their guarantee rights on faulty devices, it said on Monday.The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) said between May 2020 and February 2022, Fitbit claimed consumers will not be entitled to a refund unless they returned a faulty product within 45 days of purchase or shipment, which is in not in accordance with Australian Consumer Law.”All consumers have… automatic consumer guarantee rights that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified. The consumer guarantee rights exist in addition to any warranties offered by manufacturers,”…
South Korean tech company Kakao will launch a tender offer to acquire up to 35% of SM Entertainment’s outstanding shares, following a court injunction that scuttled SM’s plan to issue new shares and give Kakao a 9.05% stake in the company, Kakao confirms in a statement on Tuesday. If the tender offer reaches its target by its March 26 end date, Kakao and its Kakao Entertainment subsidiary, which currently own 4.9% of SM’s outstanding shares, would command a 39.9% stake in the embattled company, according to the statement. Kakao is seeking to become SM’s largest shareholder and partner, to…
Every episode of The Mandalorian begins with a “Previously On…” recap. The one that kicks off “Chapter 17: The Apostate,” the first episode of Season 3 — and the first new episode Mandalorian in well over two years — runs for about one minute. It consists of clips from four different scenes:Droid IG-11 (voiced by Taika Waititi) self-destructing at the end of Season 1, while stating “Manufacturer’s protocol dictates I cannot be captured. I must be destroyed!”Greef Karga (Carl Weathers) talking about the planet of Navarro, and explaining that now that its “scum and villainy have been washed away, it’s very respectable again.”A brief…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Just City? It all started with John Rawls’ mind-blowing “veil of ignorance” thought experiment. I learned about it from Professor Michael Sandel’s lectures on “Justice,” which are available online for free. Originally, when I came up with the idea for the game, I wanted to create an actual VR game. Then a board game. But later I came up with a realistic, low-budget version: writing a book. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Just City, what would they be? Obviously, “Twenty-Something” by Pet…
Researchers aboard a whale watching boat in Iceland were baffled in 2021 when they saw a female orca swimming alongside a very unusual calf. The tiny animal didn’t have a white spot near its eye like orcas (opens in new tab) (Orcinus orca) do and, as it turned out, wasn’t even from the same species.Orca researcher Marie-Thérèse Mrusczok (opens in new tab) was working as the spotter on the top deck of the Láki Tours whale watching boat off the island’s west coast when she sighted the orca and what she suspected was a pilot whale.”You know what you’re seeing,…
Who Killed Robert Wone? It’s a question explored in the new two-part Peacock documentary centering on the unsolved murder of a Washington D.C. attorney in 2006. Wone was found stabbed to death in the home of a friend he had been visiting. The house was shared by Victor Zaborsky and his domestic partner Joe Price and another man, Dylan Ward, with whom they were involved in a polyamorous relationship. When police questioned Price, Zaborsky, and Ward, they all denied any involvement and suggested an intruder may have broken in. Yet, there were no signs of a forced entry, a struggle,…
If there’s one way to get a read on what we’ll actually be wearing next season, it’s by examining the street style trends of the previous fashion month. Yes, what comes down the runways is always important, but often, it’s what happens outside the shows that carries even more influence, especially in our day-to-day wardrobes. There’s just something about seeing real people styling trends for real life (okay, fashion week) that makes them seem much easier to re-create.The street style set—whether it’s editors, influencers, buyers or celebrities—have, for a while now, been masters of both following and setting trends. And although some looks can still be a little out…
Vexas would have been discovered a long time ago if it were a garden variety genetic disease, caused by an inherited genetic mutation. For instance, the single gene responsible for familial Mediterranean fever, also an inflammatory disease, was identified in 1997 by screening the DNA of families that carried the disease. But Vexas can’t run in families. Like cancer, Vexas is caused by what scientists call a “somatic mutation,” a gene mutation that develops in someone’s body after they are born.Because somatic mutations appear later in life, they affect only a fraction of a person’s cells, which makes them difficult…
Earlier this week, KISS announced the dates of their final shows ever, culminating with a two-night stand at Madison Square Garden on December 1st and 2nd. Fans wishing that founding members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss will be welcomed back for those last gigs may not want to keep their hopes too high. In a new interview, singer-guitarist Paul Stanley said he thinks the original lineup would sound more like “PISS” than KISS these days. Stanley and the rest of the current KISS lineup — Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer, and Eric Singer — appeared on The Howard Stern Show to…
