A domestic assault case brought against Michelle Branch earlier this month has been dropped, according to online records viewed by Pitchfork. Branch was arrested and booked for domestic assault on August 11. The singer had accused her husband—the Black Keys’ Patrick Carney—of cheating in a since-deleted tweet.

A strain-sensing smart skin developed at Rice University that uses very small structures, carbon nanotubes, to monitor and detect damage in large structures is ready for prime time. The “strain paint” first revealed by Rice in 2012 uses the fluorescent properties of nanotubes to show when a surface has been deformed by stress. Now developed as part of a non-contact optical monitoring system known as S4, the multilayered coating can be applied to large surfaces — bridges, buildings, ships and airplanes, for starters — where high strain poses an invisible threat. The project led by Rice chemist Bruce Weisman, structural…

The increase doesn’t affect the US, but markets in Europe, Japan, China, Australia, Mexico, and Canada will see a price jump equivalent to roughly 50 euros per console.In a statement explaining the hike, Sony blames the move on high inflation and “adverse currency trends.” Issues with the global supply chain have made PS5s notoriously difficult to come by since the console launched in November 2020.…
Taylor Swift is being sued by poet and author Teresa La Dart, who claims that Swift stole the design of La Dart’s 2010 book Lover for the book accompanying Swift’s 2019 album of the same name.

It may seem odd to try to make a racist transphobe a sympathetic character, but hey, that’s J.K. Rowling for you. The author’s latest book, The Ink Black Heart, is all about a content creator who is persecuted for being transphobic — a novel idea, considering Rowling’s history.

In the book, YouTube cartoon creator Edie Ledwell is criticized for being racist, ableist, and transphobic in her work (per Rolling Stone). Soon enough, she’s doxxed with photos of her home spread online and receives…

There can be only one! And it just might be Henry Cavill. Henry Cavill has been Chad Stahelski’s first choice to star in a new version of Highlander, and he just might get his wish. For those who don’t know, a Highlander film is in the works, and right now, it’s in its very early stages. One of the biggest roadblocks the film has reached is Henry Cavill’s extremely busy filming schedule, but from what Stahelski had to say, it sounds like Cavill is on board.It makes sense that an action-packed franchise like Highlander would go to Stahelski. The director has worked on great…

Something switched off in my brain and suddenly two of the genres I’ve loved all of my life became impenetrable. For a while I just read other kinds of books. Then I started trying SFF again — to no avail. I couldn’t connect. I hope that one day I’ll find joy in space operas and epic fantasy again. Until then, I’ve been embracing a different kind…

This is on top of Apple making many products that are inherently not user-upgradeable, sometimes in the name of potential performance gains or improved experiences.
