According to directors Joe and Anthony Russo, that likely won’t be happening.RELATED: Marvel Studios’ Disney+ Series Ironheart Begins ProductionIn a new Wired video where they answer a variety of internet questions, the Russos discuss the possibility of a six-hour long cut of Endgame. The pair joked that perhaps a supercut of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame could total six hours, but said that the longest they ever had Endgame was still much shorter than that.“I think the…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Mr. Grier and The Governess? I began developing the Brazen Beauties trilogy when some of my readers requested historical romance novels with older couples. And since I wanted my three leading ladies to stand out from each other, each needed a different reason for being unmarried when they met their match. With this in mind, I worked on their positions within society first, making one a divorcee, one a spinster, and one a widow. The next step was working out how these three women would come into contact with…

As usual, For All Mankind Season 3 is whistling through episodes at breakneck speed. No sooner is one problem solved than another two emerge. This week, the big rescue effort was underway, and Margo had to work with Dev, which was an experience in itself. We touched base with Wrenn Schmidt to catch up on the latest happenings in Margo’s world. The Soviets repeatedly blackmail Margo for that relationship with Sergei. Right. Does she have regrets? How is she processing that? I mean, honestly, I think by the time she realizes how caught she is, it’s really like a step-by-step…

ITALY For the first time, scientists retrieved a human genome from volcanic ash–encrusted remains found in the ancient city Pompeii. They identified the individual as a man in his 30s, with markers for spinal tuberculosis, and they also analyzed the bones of an accompanying woman over 50. EGYPT New analysis of a space rock found in the desert in 1996 suggests it was forged in a rare “type Ia” supernova explosion. The violent event most likely occurred some 4.6 billion years ago on the outskirts of our solar system. PHILIPPINES A species of Pyralidae moth last recorded in 1912 was…

Here are a few terms you’ll come across when shopping for a window air conditioner, plus some other tips after our years of testing them. BTU stands for British Thermal Units. In the case of air conditioners, BTU is a way to measure how much heat the compressor can remove from a room. It’s a quick and easy way to figure out whether an AC unit is powerful enough to cool your space. First, you’ll want to find the square footage of your room by multiplying the length and width. Then, use the US Department of Energy’s guidance on the BTU…

Country radio has repositioned itself in recent years as the finisher for country hits. Formerly the medium where new music earned its greatest initial exposure, the genre’s programmers admittedly prefer to let songs validate themselves in other quarters — primarily at Spotify, YouTube, Shazam and Pandora — before they safely add titles that are already proven. That attitude set up an outlaw challenge from one of country’s edgiest artists. Cody Jinks’ latest single — “Loud and Heavy,” released by the artist’s Late August label to terrestrial stations on July 1 through PlayMPE — is a 7.5-year-old title that has already been certified…

Justice, like lightning…Careful Marvel observers have predicted it was coming, and they were correct: The next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will include a version of the Thunderbolts.

How they go about that is typically what varies from series to series. The very first Thunderbolts group kept their identities secret from the public, and even from readers of…

Bottlenose dolphins appear to seek out certain corals and sponges that produce compounds with antibacterial or hormone-like properties Life 19 May 2022 By Alex Wilkins Dolphins may be treating their own wounds and infections by rubbing themselves against corals and sea sponges that have antibacterial properties. Many marine mammals, such as orcas and beluga whales, rub their bodies against underwater materials like sand, pebbles or limestone, perhaps to help shed the outer layers of their skin in the summer. But similar behaviour has been less well studied in dolphins. Angela Ziltener at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, and her colleagues…

For millennia, many animals and plants have coped with occasional climate changes by moving into new areas. But humans’ relatively recent burning of fossil fuels is pushing global temperatures upward at an exceptionally rapid rate, placing many species on what a new book by science journalist Benjamin von Brackel notes has been called an “escalator to extinction”—and raising the question of whether migration can save them this time. It is estimated that land-dwelling animals are now moving toward the poles at a rate of an average of about 17 kilometers (more than 10 miles) per decade and that the front…

Editor’s Note: Get tickets to Rage Against the Machine’s upcoming tour dates here. Back in 2020, the timing for a Rage Against The Machine reunion couldn’t have been more appropriate: after nine years away and ahead of a symbolic and high-stakes election, the Los Angeles quartet decided it was time to be back in front of the people once again to serve politically-charged catharsis en masse. But of course, the pandemic offset Rage’s tour plans by not one, but two years, and even compared to 2020, the world is quite different than it once was. Luckily, attendees at Rage Against…

Disposable gowns designed to deflect the splatter of bodily fluids, used in thousands of U.S. hospitals, have underperformed in recent and ongoing laboratory tests and may fall short of safety standards, leaving health care workers with a greater risk of infection than advertised. A peer-reviewed academic study, published to little notice amid the coronavirus pandemic, found that isolation gowns commonly worn in medical units or intensive care units ripped too easily and allowed about four to 14 times the expected amount of liquid to seep through when sprayed or splashed. “I’m amazed that facilities are using them,” said study co-author…

Each Diptyque candle is inspired by a time, place or story.

For years, the anonymity service Tor has been the best way to stay private online and dodge web censorship. Much to the ire of governments and law enforcement agencies, Tor encrypts your web traffic and sends it through a chain of computers, making it very hard for people to track you online. Authoritarian governments see it as a particular threat to their longevity, and in recent months, Russia has stepped up its long-term ambition to block Tor—although not without a fight.In December 2021, Russia’s media regulator, Roskomnadzor, enacted a 4-year-old court order that allows it to order internet service providers…

Marcus Mumford unveiled his first solo single, “Cannibal,” last week, but what he didn’t mention at the time was that the accompanying black-and-white visuals had been directed by none other than Steven Spielberg making his music video debut. “On Sunday 3rd July in a high school gym in New York, Steven Spielberg directed his first music video, in one shot, on his phone,” Mumford wrote on social media. He added that Kate Capshaw, who starred as Willie Scott in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and has played the role of Spielberg’s wife since 1991, served as “the almighty dolly grip.”…
