IN DECEMBER 2009, a submarine plunged 2,000 meters into the Gulf of California and emerged clutching a whole new branch of life. The deep-sea craft hadn’t uncovered a new species of fish, or some hitherto unknown crustacean, but something much more profound. In one of the most alien environments on Earth, the submarine had found a group of microbes utterly distinct from all other life. In animal terms, it was like stumbling across mollusks or insects for the first time. Not just one new species but a whole swath of life had swum into focus.This might sound momentous. It is…

According to a statement, iPod Touches—the last remaining model—will remain on sale through the company’s website, Apple stores, and authorized resellers “while supplies last.”Apple launched the music player in October of 2001 with its original white, rectangular design and click-wheel navigation.

Chris Cheung. Photography via Instagram.com/@fashionarttoronto This past weekend, FAT delivered many memorable moments, from monochromatic matching sets to deconstructed street wear. By Annika Lautens Date May 9, 2022 At Fashion Art Toronto — the city’s longest-running fashion week — the message was clear: fortune and fashion favour the bold. What does that look like exactly? Think oversized and deconstructed puffers, gender-bending wedding dresses, athletic-looking corsets, men in scantily clad thongs and bold, monochromatic colours. Now, even if this isn’t necessarily your aesthetic, to be immersed in fun and fearless runway looks was truly a joyful experience. You could taste the…

There’s only room for one or two pieces of wood at a time, though. Don’t lose track of the detachable handle that lets you open the back door, because you’ll be opening it several times during a cooking session. Also, there is no secondary burn here—after one use, the smoke emerging from the oven’s mouth blackened the top of the oven. It wipes off, but just a warning. Too Hot to HandlePhotograph: Solo StoveThe Pi is remarkably compact, especially when placed next to an enormous oven like the Gozney Roccbox. But as I cooked with it over the course of two…

Stranger Things and heavy metal legend Ronnie James Dio come together in Stranger Things 4, the new season of the nostalgic Netflix sci-fi series that arrived last week. Among the episodes, the character of Eddie Munson, a metalhead played by actor Joe Quinn, sports a jean jacket with a Dio back patch. The merch is the real deal — it was donated to the show by Dio’s estate, led by the late singer’s widow, Wendy Dio.The piece makes sense for Munson, leader of the Hellfire Club at Hawkins High. He rocks a teased metal perm along with a W.A.S.P. pin on his jacket, looking fully the 1986 headbanger.…

We’ve got another classic Hollywood battle of two movies with nearly identical premises coming out within the same year, like the bygone days of Deep Impact and Armageddon or Volcano and Dante’s Peak. This time it’s two totally different Pinocchios. The first is Disney’s live-action version of their cartoon classic, which is widely regarded as one of the greatest animated films in the studio’s history. The second is Guillermo del Toro’s stop-motion animated Pinocchio, which is expected to premiere on Netflix this fall and will surely be a much darker take on the material.Disney’s version will beat Netflix’s to the market by about three months.

Big picture, there’s no legal issue with posting surveillance cam content. Experts agree that it is generally legal to post video footage captured in a public space where the subject of the video lacks a reasonable expectation of privacy. (Things get a bit trickier with audio recordings, where states vary in consent rules, but, again, these rules often don’t apply when a person is in a public space, like on a sidewalk.) While a person’s front door area is legally considered “private” for Fourth Amendment purposes—meaning the police can’t snoop around without a warrant—a homeowner can surveil their own space.…

The globular cluster Messier 54. Credit: NASA A team of astronomers studied two nearby globular clusters, 47 Tucanae and Omega Centauri, searching for signals produced by annihilating dark matter. Though the searches turned up empty, they weren’t a failure. The lack of a detection placed strict upper limits on the mass of the hypothetical dark matter particle. Shining a light on dark matter Dark matter makes up around 80% of all the mass in the universe, although it’s completely invisible. It simply doesn’t interact with the electromagnetic force, and so it doesn’t glow or reflect or absorb or anything. So…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Unmitigated Violence (Empire of Violence #1)? I wanted to write a story that was unapologetically brutal and masculine, to provide catharsis in the face of all the frustrations that we’re all faced with every day. I wanted to write a story for any people who had faced some form of injustice that seemed impossible to set right, for those people who had to sit there and take it, but had fleeting images go through their mind of just going berserk and showing everybody what happens when you f*#@ with…
