Never Have I Ever is back and better than ever in its third season on Netflix which continues the story of Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), her friends, and family in this coming-of-age comedy. Life appears to be looking up for the teen who finds herself in a relationship with dream guy Paxton (Darren Barnet). But could Devi’s fears about measuring up keep her from enjoying the dream she’s managed to reach? “Even though she’s getting everything she has wanted from the beginning, I think she’s missing the things that she doesn’t realize she needs,” Ramakrishnan tells TV Insider.

The Mars Volta is not offended by people calling their new music ‘yacht rock’ and instead takes it as a compliment. In an interview with The Guardian, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez says that he’s “not bound by genre. The only thing that matters is if music makes you feel something.””Some people might see it as betrayal,”says singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala.discussing their more pop-sounding music. “I’ve seen more people call it yacht rock. But yacht rock slaps so hard that hip-hop producers sample it all the time,”The Mars Volta aren’t afraid to lose fans, according to Rodriguez-Lopez, who states, “Losing ‘fans’ is baked into what…
By far, the most impressive thing about The Karate Kid’s sequel series, Cobra Kai, is the way it has been able to take silly parts of the original movies and spin them into interesting and sometimes even profound parts of the new show. The Karate Kid Part III is not a particularly good film, and its villain, Terry Silver, is absurd. (He’s an ultra-wealthy businessman who drops everything he’s doing to gaining revenge against a teenager and his kindly karate teacher he’s never met because they were mean to his buddy? Okay!)Fast-forward a couple of decades and suddenly Terry Silver is on Cobra Kai, and he…

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — An engine cooling issue on NASA’s giant new rocket for deep-space exploration forced the agency to call off the booster’s much-anticipated launch debut early Monday (Aug. 29). NASA had mostly fueled its first Space Launch System (SLS) megarocket to launch the Artemis 1 moon mission on Monday when launch controllers were unable to chill one of the four main engines to the temperatures needed to handle its super-cold propellant. The issue stalled plans to launch the SLS rocket and its uncrewed Orion spacecraft on an ambitious 42-day test flight around the moon. Liftoff was scheduled for 8:33…
Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world.Early in the pandemic, Susan Korn and Doria Santlofer became a pod of two. As neighbors in lockdown-stricken New York City, Santlofer recalls, “there was nothing to do, so we baked each other pies and ordered avocados together and talked about what we wanted to wear.” When Korn, the designer of the fanciful accessories line Susan Alexandra, saw Santlofer, a sought-after stylist, wearing a vintage pointelle shirt one day, she flipped for the sweet, nostalgic fabric and started hunting for it online. “What I did find was…

Olivia Rodrigo brought out a lot of special guests during her tour, but, tonight (August 24), it was her turn to return the favor.

The Suicide Squad had to introduce a slew of new characters in a matter of minutes. That required some clever storytelling on the part of writer/director James Gunn. To establish the bonafides of the team’s new leader, Bloodsport, he tossed off the character’s criminal past in a single line: He’s in prison because he shot Superman with a kryptonite bullet, which the audience immediately understands is something only an assassin of the highest caliber (sorry) could do.But for Idris Elba, the guy who played Bloodsport, that line is more than a quick bit of expository dialogue. He thinks it should be a movie…
Orcas are snapping the rudders off boats off the European coast, and scientists aren’t sure why. According to NPR, the spate of odd encounters has spanned from the coasts of Portugal and Spain up to France. No one has been injured or killed, but the orcas have damaged several boats, and reportedly sank a sailboat on July 31.The most recent attack came off the coast of France earlier this month, when a group of orcas began ramming a 37-foot (11.2-meter) sailboat belonging to Ester Kristine Storkson, 27, and her father. The pair were headed to Madeira, an archipelago west of Morocco,…

Schematic illustration of multi-step composition screening of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for liver-targeted pDNA delivery. In vitro transfection efficiency was assessed for 1080 LNP formulations with different helper lipids and component ratios. The top-performing formulations for each helper lipid series were then tested in clusters for cytotoxicity and in vivo local transfection efficiency via intrahepatic injection. Clusters that induced minimal cytotoxicity and high transfection were screened via i.v. injection, and LNP formulations within the clusters that demonstrated optimal liver transfection were further evaluated individually.

It’s very surprising that there’s a new Predator movie — this one a prequel titled Prey — and instead of debuting in theaters it went straight to streaming on Disney’s Hulu service. The reason for that decision was reportedly an entirely practical one. It wasn’t that Disney didn’t have faith in the film; they have a contract with HBO Max that gives the service the right to stream anything from the old Fox (now 20th Century Studios) after it premieres in theaters. If Prey had played in multiplexes, HBO Max would have gotten it. By keeping it on Hulu, Disney had the film all to itself.And,…

When Orpheus returned to Salem a free man, it was only a matter of time before he started causing trouble. Steve and John’s wild goose chase was fun, but did Orpheus have to target the same old people for kidnapping? Worse, no one besides Steve and John seemed to realize the women were gone after he again captured Kayla and Marlena on Days of Our Lives during the week of 8-22-22. Back in the day, Orpheus was a formidable foe for “Roman” (really John) and Marlena, and with Joe Mascolo (Stefano) having passed away several years ago, Days of Our…
After completing six long rounds of chemotherapy, 75-year-old Pedro R. L. received the news he and his family had been hoping for: his chronic lymphocytic leukemia was in complete remission. But while his body was still recovering, he contracted COVID-19. He was admitted to the Quirónsalud Madrid University Hospital on January 30, 2021. Initial treatments failed, and by February 25 he had developed severe pneumonia. That’s when his doctor, Pablo Guisado, recommended they try plitidepsin, a potent antiviral compound in a phase 3 clinical trial for treating hospitalized COVID patients. Plitidepsin comes from a place few drugmakers would have predicted:…
Katie Holmes appears to have a thing for Mango, and we can’t blame her. The Spanish store has been improving season upon season over the past few years, producing timeless staples that look far beyond their price tags as well as more cheerful, trend-hitting pieces that speak to its Mediterranean heritage and really come to life in the summer months.Only recently was Holmes part of the cult-Mango-coat club, which also included Sienna Miller, Alexa Chung and Gigi Hadid. It was a seemingly simple beige Crombie, but such was its premium quality and great fit that it persuaded these A-listers out of their usual…
Not every good product can snag a best-in-category title, but there are several more bags we’ve tested that get our thumbs-up and deserve a mention.Eagle Creek Cargo Hauler 40L ($119) was my former favorite duffel bag, but it’s been displaced by the REI Co-op Big Haul and bumped down a notch. It’s still a great duffel bag. Two things jumped out about the Cargo Hauler. One: It weighs 1 pound, 13 ounces, which is only slightly heavier than air. Two: It has backpack straps that stow away in a front pocket. It feels less heavy-duty than the other duffel bags…

A few months ago, I explored the current state of diversity in children’s book publishers. While I discovered that there have been some advancements in kidlit’s portrayals of children of colour, there definitely hasn’t been enough. Many “diverse” books are coming from white, straight, cis creators, and so there is still a lack of titles written and illustrated by people who are members of the communities being portrayed. While any increase in multicultural representation is beneficial, authenticity is even more important than just…
