The Cramps‘ 1981 recording of “Goo Goo Muck” became an out-of-left field success story in November after its use in a dance scene in the hit Netflix series Wednesday helped a new generation discover the song, first released in 1962 by Ronnie Cook and the Gaylads. Music trends, created by viral hits on TikTok and YouTube, are unpredictable, though. As soon as “Goo Goo Muck” was enjoying its newfound fame, along came “Bloody Mary,” a deep cut from Lady Gaga‘s 2011 album Born This Way. Fans inspired by the Wednesday scene uploaded videos of themselves performing the dance to TikTok…

When Doctor Who returns to the BBC (in the UK) and Disney+ stateside, there will be plenty of familiar faces. A new trailer dropped this week that gives us insight into the three specials on tap for 2023. David Tennant and Catherine Tate were both pivotal parts of the revival’s success early on, so it’s nostalgic to see the pair in the new trailer. Tennant’s return was teased in the recent season finale after Jodie Whittaker’s iteration of the Time Lord regenerated into the former Doctor. It was a huge surprise because the BBC had announced Sex Education’s Ncuti Gatwa…
Inadequate pollination has led to a 3-5% loss of fruit, vegetable, and nut production and an estimated 427,000 excess deaths annually from lost healthy food consumption and associated diseases, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain cancers, according to research led by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. It is the first study to quantify the human health toll of insufficient wild (animal) pollinators on human health. “A critical missing piece in the biodiversity discussion has been a lack of direct linkages to human health. This research establishes that loss of pollinators is already impacting health on a scale…
I dedicate a pretty decent amount of time each week to scrolling through Target’s clothing section, which I’d imagine doesn’t come as much of a surprise to anyone who truly knows me — perhaps even those who don’t, including the very gracious FedEx man who frequents my house so often, we’re practically on a first-name basis at this point. Moving on! One of the benefits to my shopping addiction (besides the fact that my closet now looks good 24/7) is that I’m uniquely clued in on which styles are truly beloved by my other fellow Target shoppers. In all truth,…
It’s been a rough year for entrepreneurs. Funding has been tight, top-flight leaders have been harder to lure away from secure corporate jobs, and marketing and discretionary spending has been at a standstill. Economic crunches are no fun for anyone, but when you’re trying to build a global business from scratch, the headwinds feel like a typhoon.If we take a longer view, though, there’s good reason for optimism. Historically, the most exciting and generation-defining startups have been those built in challenging times. Think of Facebook, launched in 2004, in the shadow of the dotcom bust. Google also raised capital in…

Even though we knew it was leading here, it was still a shock to see how everything played out. I would say Welcome to Chippendales Season 1 Episode 7 was Steve’s official downfall, but he’s been falling for a while. With each passing year, he became increasingly obsessed with a need to prove his worth and relevance, and when things started to fall apart, he took the most drastic measures to pull himself up again. But it’s hard to imagine the fallout was exactly what Steve wanted. It never had to end like this. Steve was successful; for all his…
It is well-known exercise has many benefits, but new Edith Cowan University (ECU) research has revealed just how critically important it can be — even for people with advanced cancer. Previous work from ECU’s Exercise Medicine Research Institute has shown men with advanced prostate cancer can change the chemical environment of their body over six months of exercise training to suppress growth of cancer cells. The team observed increased levels of proteins called ‘myokines’ which are produced by skeletal muscles and can suppress tumour growth and even help actively fight cancerous cells by stimulating a range of anti-cancer processes in…

The idea that humans are facing a global extinction of experience of nature is popular, but there is poor empirical evidence of its reality. To shed more light on this, the scientists measured how the average distance from an individual’s home to the nearest area with low human impact changed in the last decade. They found that humans currently live 9.7 km away from a natural area on average, which is 7% further away than in the year 2000. Europe and East Asia have the highest average distance to natural areas, such as 22 km in Germany and 16 km…
Edward BerthelotGetty Images It’s time to sweep on some blush, swipe some lipstick, and go out to a party. Remember makeup? Those powders and creams and sprays we’d use to enhance our natural features and sometimes confuse strangers? No? If I close my eyes I can almost recall what I looked like with lipstick on. True, I haven’t considered makeup since about February 2020, but I can still remember how fun it used to be. Now that the world has re-opened and people are starting to unleash the lower halves of their face to the public again, it might be…
Satellite communications is emerging as an important part of India’s ambitions to scale up quality Internet access across the country, Minister of State for IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said on Thursday.

Barack Obama is getting in on the fun of list season by sharing his favorite songs of 2022. Some one may have taken a peak at our own top songs list (hi, Obama!), as the former president included five of our favorites: SZA’s “Shirt,” Ethel Cain’s “American Teenager,” Danger Mouse and Black Thought’s “Belize” featuring MF DOOM, Plains’ “Problem With It,” and Zach Bryan’s “Something in the Orange.” Sadly, our favorite song of the year — Paramore’s “This Is Why” — did not make Obama’s list. #JusticeForParamore. Obama’s list also includes songs like Lizzo’s “About Damn Time,” Rosalía’s “SAOKO,” Beyoncé’s…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Gingerbread and Gunshots : A small town culinary cozy mystery.? This is book 7 in the Maple Lane Mysteries and I had recently written the prequel about my bakers time living in Manhattan. The story of her friend coming to visit Maple Falls just came to me.

The TV world is filled with many successes and many duds. That especially rings true for the Science Fiction/Fantasy genres, as they are very easy to mess up.

The distribution of calving outcomes, including heifer calvings. Credit: Preventive Veterinary Medicine (2022). DOI: 10.1016/j.prevetmed.2022.105812 A small percentage of cows will experience problems when calving and breeders would like to know which cows are at risk. Using the vast dataset of the Dutch cattle breeding company CRV, computer scientists at the University of Groningen used artificial intelligence to develop a predictive model that in theory could halve the number of calving problems. They published their results in Preventive Veterinary Medicine. Cattle breeding is data science. Breeding firms provide semen from bulls and register the success of their offspring. Data on…
It’s no secret that we Who What Wear editors love to find great value buys on the high street. If you shop wisely and look out for good-quality, classic pieces, you can really uncover some expensive-looking gems that will work in your wardrobe for a long time. Yes, it might make sense to invest more in things like a luxury leather bag, cashmere knit or hard-wearing boots to ensure their longevity. But there are some key staples I always turn to the high street for. Things like denim, shirting and—what we’re here to talk about today—coats. Honestly, I’ve found some of my favourite,…
In the study, the researchers also took tissue samples from some mice after euthanizing them and found increased activity of genes that produce the proteins in the brain responsible for the stress response. “It is interesting to notice that these effects are present after a brief exposure of two weeks to a high-salt diet,” says Giuseppe Faraco, an assistant professor of neuroscience at Weill Cornell Medicine, who studies the link between salt and cognitive impairment but wasn’t involved in this study. What Faraco would have liked to have seen, however, is data on how the overactivation of these key genes relates…

Mrs. Sinden by Thomas Richards To this day, it’s still hard to imagine that a book entitled Memoirs of a Geisha was written by a man (Arthur Golden). The same for Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All (Allan Gurganus). Those two authors, whose books debuted near the turn of the past century, were hardly the first to cross the gender gap as men writing in first person as a female character. Now add to that list the newly launching Mrs. Sinden (Global Collective Publishers) by Thomas Richards, a former English and American Literature and Language Associate Professor at Harvard and…
The Sister Wives fallout continues. As viewers have seen in the TLC show’s 17th season, Christine Brown left ex-husband Kody Brown, and cut ties with former sister wife, Robyn Brown, in so doing. And a new clip from the reality show’s upcoming “One on One” episodes shows that Christine also ended her friendship with Meri Brown, Kody’s first wife. The clip, which TODAY.com shared last week, starts with Meri, who shares one child with Kody, telling host Sukanya Krishnan that she felt stung by Christine’s decision to leave Kody and move to Utah. “I felt very betrayed by her and…
One of the two “compass proteins” (POLAR, in pink) orients the future cell division. In gray are cell outlines on the developing leaf. Credit: Michael T. Raissig Grasses have “respiratory pores” (called stomata) that open and close to regulate the uptake of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis on the one hand and water loss through transpiration on the other. Unlike many other plants, stomata in grasses form lateral “helper cells.” Thanks to these cells, the stomata of grasses can open and close more quickly, which optimizes plant-atmosphere gas exchange and thus saves water. For the current study, Prof. Dr. Michael Raissig,…
It was around 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon this May, according to court documents, when Payton Gendron gunned down 32-year-old Roberta Drury outside a Tops supermarket in Buffalo, New York. It is impossible to know exactly what crossed Gendron’s mind in that moment, but if a manifesto published under his name is any indication, he might have noticed Drury’s golden skin and dark curly hair, and intuited that some of her ancestors—maybe 20 generations ago—had called sub-Saharan Africa home. He would have taken this lineage as an indication of her character: The manifesto asserted that people from that part of…
