When Discovery acquired Warner Bros from AT&T to become the new media entity known as Warner Bros. Discovery, the purchase included the HBO Max streaming service. But Discovery already had its own streaming service, Discovery+. Which meant now that the new company exists, they are essentially competing with themselves for potential subscribers, who might only have a certain amount of dollars each month to spend on streaming.It seemed inevitable that Warner Bros. Discovery would combine the two services — and they will. The company announced during its earnings call today that they are planning to join HBO Max and Discovery+ into…

Fires in parts of France, Spain and Portugal have already burned more land so far this year than in all of 2021. The fires that have torched through Europe are on course to make 2022 a record year for forest loss on the continent, as scientists warn climate change is already contributing to ever fiercer blazes. Fires in parts of France, Spain and Portugal have already burned more land so far this year than in all of 2021—some 517,881 hectares (5,000 km2), or the equivalent area of Trinidad and Tobago. “The situation is much worse than expected, even if we…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Acceptable Limits? I was positive I would never write a rock star romance because it felt too far out of my personal experience. That’s why in an earlier book I made a secondary character a rock star and named him Todd (a name you won’t find on any of the sexy male character lists–until now!) I thought that was the end of our brief acquaintance, although even then he had charisma. Then I watched an interview with an aging musician who talked about the creative process and I realized…
Weddings are never dull events. The relationships during Good Trouble Season 4 Episode 14 were front and center; some took some significant steps while others took some steps back. However, those final moments brought all the drama. It’s always lovely when Jazmin guest-stars during an installment, and it was beautiful to see her happy, in love, and married. Despite Jazmin not appearing on the series with the frequency of other characters, she’s had such an incredible arc over time. She’s come a long way in her family after so many years of a strained relationship with her parents, who didn’t…
Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images SIX months ago world leaders made grand promises to act on climate change. A war, an energy crisis and an inflation spike later, it is hard to find signs that the vows made at the COP26 summit in Glasgow, UK, are being honoured. Germany is building new gas terminals in haste, the UK is mulling classifying gas production as a green investment and Chinese coal production was up 10 per cent in the first four months of the year. Yet climate change marches inexorably on regardless. India has been hit by earlier heatwaves than usual. The…
“Pretty Little Liars” Season Six. Photography courtesy of Getty Images Alison DiLaurentis went from being an iconic mean girl to a forgettable character. Here’s why that’s a problem. By Natalie Michie Date July 27, 2022 Was there ever a teen villain so elusive? “A” mercilessly tormented the main characters of Pretty Little Liars throughout its seven season run. But for many years, clique dictator Alison DiLaurentis (played by Sasha Pieterse) was the true villain of Rosewood High. On July 28, the Pretty Little Liars reboot Original Sin will revive the franchise with a new batch of teen girls caught up…
When OpenAI announced last week that its art-making AI system DALL-E is now available in beta, the company also gave users lucky enough to get off the waiting list what appeared to be a great gift. “Starting today,” the company wrote in a post, “users get full usage rights to commercialize the images they create with DALL-E, including the right to reprint, sell, and merchandise.” To be clear, this doesn’t mean OpenAI is relinquishing its own right to commercialize images users create using DALL-E. Dig into the terms of service and you’ll find only the promise that “OpenAI will not…

In the deep subsurface that plunges into the Earth for miles, microscopic organisms inhabit vast bedrock pores and veins. Belowground microorganisms, or microbes, comprise up to half of all living material on the planet and support the existence of all life forms up the food chain. They are essential for realizing an environmentally sustainable future and can change the chemical makeup of minerals, break down pollutants, and alter the composition of groundwater. While the significance of bacteria and archaea is undeniable, the only evidence of their existence in the deep subsurface comes from traces of biological material that seep through…
Prior to 2008, my home was filled with people, noise, and love. My husband, our three children, and countless friends of theirs would show up for dinner or to spend the night. Our house was bustling.

In 2009 our daughter left for college—Hanover College. My once busy life dwindled down to lonely and quiet nights, after getting home from work and putting our youngest son to bed. I had…

Had Beckham finally missed a style beat?…
The infection rate is far lower than that of Covid-19 or many common respiratory viruses, so outbreaks tend to end quite quickly. An example of this was in 2003, when monkeypox reached the US after infected animals were shipped from Ghana to Illinois. The virus was spread to prairie dogs being sold as pets in multiple Midwestern states, and 47 people became infected. But none passed it on to anyone else, and the outbreak was over shortly after it had begun.That said, this time around, scientists aren’t sure whether the usual rate of transmission for monkeypox has increased, given the…

III cut “Gasoline.” Watch it happen below.Last year, Swift joined Haim on a new recorded version of “Gasoline.” The band also issued a rework of “3AM” by Thundercat.

A title is an incredibly important element of a movie. A good title can cement a film’s place in pop culture history, even entering the lexicon of the English language. Even before a person has seen a movie, its title can give them a clue as to what to expect. There are a lot of ways a title can go — it can be literal, or more abstract. Think about some of your favorite movies. They probably have some pretty good titles, if not great ones. The fact of the matter is, some of the most famous movies of all…
Three large chunks of space debris that crash-landed into Australian sheep farms have been confirmed as belonging to SpaceX, the Australian Space Agency announced today (Aug 3).The space junk, found embedded in farmlands in New South Wales’ Snowy Mountains region on Saturday (July 30), came from a part of a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft that likely reentered the Earth’s atmosphere on July 9 — the day that locals reported hearing a loud sonic boom and seeing a blazing light arc across the sky. The first of the debris, a 10-foot-tall (3 meters) spike seared black by reentry, was found by local…

Portal fantasies – fantasy stories that involve hopping from one high-concept magical universe to another, usually through a specific mechanism that allows the characters to travel between worlds – have been popular throughout the history of the genre. Portal fantasies arguably predate the novel form itself; legends about travels between the Nine Realms in Viking mythology, or journeys to the land of the fairies in Celtic myths, could be viewed as early portal fantasies. One of the earliest fantasy novels ever published, The…
It’s been a frustrating week for the people associated with Leslie Grace’s Batgirl. The $70 million+ movie was officially scrapped earlier this week, despite being in post-production. At the time, there were unconfirmed reports the decision was based on the quality of the movie as opposed to the restructuring at Warner Bros. Discovery. “We have done a reset” CEO David Zaslav said Thursday during an investors call. “There will be a team with a 10-year plan focusing just on DC,” he said. “It’s very similar to the structure that Alan Horn and Bob Iger put together effectively with [Marvel Studios…

Applicants for EPA carbon-storage permits must persuade the agency that they can contain both the plume of injected carbon dioxide and a secondary plume of saltwater that the CO2 displaces from the rock—what drilling engineers call the pressure pulse. The EPA requires evidence that neither plume will contaminate drinking water while a project is operating and for a default period of 50 years after CO2 injection stops—but the agency can decide to shorten or lengthen that for a particular project. Stream employs a well-heeled team, including oil industry veterans and a former top EPA official, to shepherd the permit application, which…
