Steven Tyler is being sued by a woman who alleges that the Aerosmith frontman sexually assaulted and sexually battered her when she was a minor in the 1970s, Rolling Stone reports. The lawsuit, as Rolling Stone notes, could be filed due to California’s Child Victims Act, which temporarily lifted the statute of limitations for alleged survivors of childhood sexual abuse to file complaints.In the lawsuit, the plaintiff, Julia Holcomb, alleges that she met Tyler in 1973 when she was 16 years old and he was 25. The two apparently had a relationship that lasted three years, and Holcomb now alleges…

Nature uses 20 canonical amino acids as building blocks to make proteins, combining their sequences to create complex molecules that perform biological functions. But what happens with the sequences not selected by nature? And what possibilities lie in constructing entirely new sequences to make novel, or de novo, proteins bearing little resemblance to anything in nature? That’s the terrain Princeton University’s Hecht Lab works in. And recently, their curiosity for designing their own sequences paid off. They discovered the first known de novo protein that catalyzes, or drives, the synthesis of quantum dots. Quantum dots are fluorescent nanocrystals used in…
The following excerpt is reprinted with permission from The Washington Post. The original article was published on Dec. 6 and updated on Dec 19, 2022. This holiday season, let’s press pause on one of the culture wars. Recent tussles over the “appropriateness” of kids’ books obscure the genius and joy of so much children’s literature. As a reset, we asked dozens of parents across the political spectrum to share the children’s books they love best. They did, and reaffirmed an essential principle: One of our most important jobs as adults is to help foster in children a love of reading,…
Let’s start with some murder and then go from there! On Dangerous Liaisons Season 1 Episode 8, Camille makes her bed and lies in it. Camille conveniently (too conveniently?) found a secret passageway leading to a staircase, which led to a tunnel, which led to a secret room, where Jean left “Ariadnes” for the Duke. Victoire was set to be the next one, but Camille found her. When Jean tried to stop her, they did the only logical thing and killed him — luckily, Majordome also showed up. Camille and Jean have been married for, what, a day? And now he’s dead.…
One of the most perplexing aspects of quantum mechanics is that tiny subatomic particles don’t seem to “choose” a state until an outside observer measures it. The act of measurement converts all the vague possibilities of what could happen into a definite, concrete outcome. While the mathematics of quantum mechanics provides rules for how that process works, that math doesn’t really explain what that means in practical terms. One idea is that consciousness — an awareness of our own selves and the impact we have on our surroundings — plays a key role in measurement and that it’s our experience of…
Courtesy The Holidays have different connotations for everyone, but here’s one thing we know for certain: there is always an element of stress. It’s that magical time of the year when we sip apple cider, cozy up in our winter best, and stress about all the gifts we need to buy. Even at the best of times, I’m compulsively late with buying gifts for my nearest and dearest (To my two friends whose birthday gifts have been “lost in the mail” for three months: I’m sorry!). The Holidays kick it up a notch, and with each season comes new people…
It works like this: You connect a powerline plug to your router, then put the plug into a wall socket. Add another powerline plug in any other room in your house, and it can provide a wired or wireless connection to that room. There will be some drop in speed, but it’s a simple and effective option. Unless your home is particularly old, it should have electrical wiring that supports this, but it’s best to buy your kit from a retailer with a robust return policy just in case.7.

One of Coolio‘s last known interviews took place on a lark in an airport departure gate when the host of a crypto podcast happened to spot the rapper chilling out while waiting for a flight. In the new episode of PJ Vogt’s Crypto Island pod, the host describes his surprise at seeing someone who had the “incandescent shine” of a likely famous person casually sitting at a gate in New York’s JFK airport. Wearing a green track suit and matching baseball hat with two slots cut in the top to make room for his signature at-attention braids, Coolio was friendly…

Rosdiana CiaravoloGetty Images Sometimes, there’s nothing that feels better than having your nails done. A great manicure can even make sweatpants feel like a chic outfit. My desire for perfect nails comes in waves, which means it’s essential to have the essentials on hand in record time.

Welcome to the future, where clean air is a luxury. From pandemics to wildfires, air purifiers have become the gotta-have-it home appliance. Buildings let in a lot of particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, and vaporous chemicals. Indoor plastics, furniture, paint, and flooring off-gas noxious fumes too. There’s also evidence that air filters can help clean Covid-causing virus particles from the air. Since your home might be your workplace, playground, meditation studio, dine-in restaurant, neighborhood bar, refuge, or movie theater, you want to ensure that the air you’re breathing for most of the day is clean. These are our top air purifiers.…
SZA reaches No. 1 on Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart for the first time thanks to “Kill Bill,” which debuts atop the Dec. 24-dated tally. “Bill” bows with 36.9 million official U.S. streams earned in the Dec. 9-15 tracking week, according to Luminate. Her first ruler eclipses the No. 2 peaks of “Good Days” (2020), her featured credit on Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More” (2021) and Summer Walker co-bill “No Love” (2021). “Bill” is the first non-holiday song to reign on Streaming Songs past the first week of December (and before January) since 2018, when Ariana Grande‘s “Thank U, Next” ruled…
In Stan Lee’s How to Draw Superheroes, the co-creator of some of the most famous bad guys in Marvel history wrote that “there is no such thing as a villain.”“Each and every villain in comics, in movies, in novels — and especially in real life,” he added, “thinks of him- or herself as the good guy. The hero.” That’s probably true. But in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there are many villains. True to Lee‘s perspective — which helped shaped Marvel in the first place — a fair number of them do not consider themselves to be villains. A character like Thanos truly believes that…

Typical features of hibernation include greatly reduced metabolic activity and lowered body temperature. As warm-blooded animals, primates (except lemurs) do not naturally hibernate or even experience torpor. But can we manipulate the body temperature of primates and make them fall into a hypometabolic state or even artificial hibernation?

WIRED has written frequently of late about Elon Musk’s Twitter, so forgive me for coming back to it—but for those of us as terminally online as I am, let me just ask: What the hell happened last weekend?I woke up on Sunday morning to learn that Twitter was going to block all mentions of, or links to, “competing” services, from Instagram to Facebook, to Linktree of all places. It was claimed to be about “preventing free advertising” of the platform’s competitors and to “cut down on spam.” Of course, anyone with two neurons to rub together could tell that this…

Sony’s DualSense Edge is the company’s first shot at making an internal pro controller. However, this PlayStation 5 pad won’t be superior to the base DualSense in every single way. According to a statement provided to The Verge, the Edge will have a “moderately shorter” battery life when compared to the regular DualSense because it has “many more features within the same form factor and ergonomic design.” Sony also pointed out that it has a longer braided USB cable (that can also be locked into the controller), which will also help preserve energy. It’s unclear how these extra features will…

Says Brown, “Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process…

At the height of summer—on August 15 to be precise—6 million people visited Quincy’s Tavern, a steampunk-inspired venue with bottles and brews lining the walls and ambient yellow lighting behind the bar. This would be far too many customers for a regular, brick-and-mortar bar to deal with, but thankfully Quincy’s Tavern exists in an intangible realm between two worlds: the internet and people’s imaginations. It’s a realm with a growing population and an ever-expanding map. It’s TikTok in 2022, a place where you could step into a fantasy tavern, a childhood dream, or your favorite book or film with a flick…
