Gisele Bündchen gave a rare hint about her headspace amid media reports that she has hired a divorce lawyer and may be splitting from her husband of 13 years Tom Brady. Bündchen left a prayer emoji comment and liked a post from life coach Jay Shetty detailing how relationships with inconsistent partners do not work. “You can’t be in a committed relationship with someone who is inconsistent with you. Read that again,” the post read. In caption, Shetty added, “Love is a daily effort. Some days it may come easier than others and that’s OK, but what should always stay…

Rabenn remembers the atmosphere of that war room as more dead silence and sweaty, anxious tension than eagerness or anticipation. He knew the possibility of achieving a Ross Ulbricht–style arrest and seizing Cazes’ laptop in a live, logged-in state—not to mention his phone—was a long shot at best. Even after all their international meetings and planning calls over the past months, and in spite of his usual hard-driving enthusiasm, Rabenn found himself quietly expecting their plan to fail.Across the table, Sanchez was logged in to Roosh V. She checked Rawmeo’s profile and confirmed to the group that he was online…

Every ten years, the British film magazine Sight & Sound polls hundreds of film critics and directors in order to create near-definitive lists of the best movies ever made. In 2012, critics named Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo as the finest motion picture of all time. Directors chose Yasujiro Ozu’s Tokyo Story as their top pick.The 2022 list is officially here — and the winners are Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles for the critics and 2001: A Space Odyssey for the directors. This time, the magazine (which is affiliated with the venerated British Film Institute) arrived at their answers by polling 1639 “film critics, programmers, curators, archivists and academics”…
Coal power: increasingly indefensible. Credit: Bilanol/Shutterstock The latest UN climate change summit (COP27) concluded, once again, with a tussle over the place of fossil fuels in the global economy. An agreement by the world’s governments to phase out all fossil fuels would have been a welcome progression from last year’s Glasgow climate pact. It called on countries to “[accelerate] efforts towards the phasedown of unabated coal power and phase-out of inefficient fossil fuel subsidies”, making it the first UN treaty to acknowledge the need to do something about the main source of greenhouse gas emissions. But at COP27, widespread anxieties…

Early in 2022, the Arctic experienced its strongest cyclone on record, with wind speeds reaching 62 mph (100 km/h). Although storms aren’t rare in the Arctic, this one led to an extensive loss of sea ice that surprised Arctic researchers.In the Arctic, sea ice — frozen seawater that floats over the ocean in the polar regions — reaches its largest coverage in March and what is thought to be its thickest maximum in April, researchers told Live Science. But as sea ice was building up this year, it hit a major setback. Between Jan. 20 and Jan. 28, the storm…
Confession: I’ve never tried wearing Target’s outerwear (until now). I’ve spent a lot of time donning — and selfie-ing — the brand’s downright impressive selection of quarter-zips and trendy loungewear, but I haven’t so far ventured into the jacket or coat department. How did everything change? On Cyber Monday, I came across the wildly affordable A New Day Travel Puffer Jacket ($35), took one look at its nearly perfect five-star rating, and the rest was history. Keep reading to find out more. What I Like About This Puffer Jacket I’ll be honest: I wasn’t sure whether I’d like this jacket…

The Ledger is a weekly newsletter about the economics of the music business sent to Billboard Pro subscribers. An abbreviated version of the newsletter is published online. After a miserable year for music stocks — and stocks in general — 2022 could end on a string of positive notes.

It all comes down to this. Or does it? The Peripheral Season 1 Episode 8 promised a big, explosive finale, and while the episode’s quality was terrific, there was an audible whimper when the credits rolled. So, what happened? The season finale of any kind of epic series usually promises something of epic proportions. While The Peripheral’s finale didn’t lack in quality, it did leave us wanting a lot more. But we don’t just mean more of the series; we mean more from the episode. A cliffhanger isn’t usually a problem, but we never like seeing cliffhangers when the future…
Science has largely neglected pregnancy’s effect on the brain, even though it involves dramatic surges in steroid hormones, which are known to alter the organ. A decade ago neuroscientist Elseline Hoekzema, then a young postdoctoral fellow thinking about having her first child, and two of her female colleagues set out to bridge the knowledge gap. “There’s this enormous event involving such strong hormone changes,” says Hoekzema, now at Amsterdam University Medical Center. “It’s really weird that so little was known about this.” Their initial study, published in 2016, revealed for the first time that pregnancy produced significant structural changes in…

The essay’s strength lies in its bold, bullish copulative sentences that use “is” like an equal sign and land with absolute certainty. “The future of integrated electronics is the future of electronics itself.” Blammo. Some of the prose then sounds like a patriotic newsreel (“No American can have freedom and justice unless there is freedom and justice for all!!”) or like Johnson himself bucking up geopolitical spirits. In the very month that “Cramming” appeared, LBJ declared of Vietnam, “The only path of reasonable men is the path of peaceful settlement.”Then there is the essay’s central claim: “With unit cost falling…
BABYMETAL have shared the new song “Monochrome,” the second single from their forthcoming concept album, THE OTHER ONE, arriving March 24th. “Monochrome” continues the Japanese band’s push into heavier, more extreme territories. Grinding hi-fi riffs separate melodically sung verses, recalling the sonic contrasts of ’90s/’00s alternative metal such as Evanescence and Korn. While there are still elements of the pop-metal sound of yore, BABYMETAL are clearly embracing a darker prog direction with their latest material. This is also reflected in the ambitious sci-fi concept for the THE OTHER ONE: BABYMETAL were “sealed” from the world after a 10-year journey and…

It’s impossible to hide from a female mosquito — she will hunt down any member of the human species by tracking our CO2 exhalations, body heat, and body odor. But some of us are distinct “mosquito magnets” who get more than our fair share of bites. Blood type, blood sugar level, consuming garlic or bananas, being a woman, and being a child are all popular theories for why someone might be a preferred snack. Yet for most of them, there is little credible data, says Leslie Vosshall, head of Rockefeller’s Laboratory of Neurogenetics and Behavior. This is why Vosshall and…

Daredevil: Born Again is taking shape at Disney+. The highly anticipated revival has cast Michael Gandolfini, Deadline reports. Gandolfini is best known for playing young Tony Soprano in the Sopranos prequel movie The Many Saints of Newark. Details remain scarce about Born Again, a revival of the hit Netflix series starring Charlie Cox, so there is no telling who Gandolfini will portray at this stage. Cox played Matt Murdock on the Netflix series, a role he has reprised several times since. Most recently, he suited up as the superhero on She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Vincent D’Onofrio is also returning as…
Just like humans, wastewater treatment plants can get sick, due to viral attacks. Now, new research from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, reveals the implications for the surrounding environment in case the plant catches a cold. The efficient running of wastewater treatment plants is an essential part of modern society. In the sewage industry, the ‘work’ of wastewater plants is often executed by microscopic bacteria. Biological processes carried out by these bacteria turn the wastewater into cleaned water that is safe to discharge into the environment. Essentially the bacteria break down the pollutants and purify the water, keeping the plant…
Yesterday, the Palace announced that King Charles III’s coronation would take place on May 6, 2023—coincidentally the 4th birthday of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s first child Archie.

In 2017, Zink met with Christopher Nolan, director of Inception, Interstellar, and a trio of Batman films. Nolan offhandedly bemoaned how terrible home TV sets made his movies look, and Zink took on the task of improving that situation as something of a personal challenge. The UHDA then reached out to dozens of directors, cinematographers, colorists, and other film industry experts to ask what would make their work look best on people’s TVs. The answer was simple: Turn off all of those post-processing settings.“There’s no real reason not to just switch into Filmmaker Mode, simply because what it really does…
Wilko Johnson, the influential guitarist who spearheaded the United Kingdom’s pub rock scene with Dr. Feelgood, died Monday (November 21) at the age of 75, BBC News reports. Although no cause of death was given, Johnson received a diagnosis of terminal pancreatic cancer in 2013 before making an unlikely recovery, as documented in the 2015 film The Ecstasy of Wilko Johnson.Formed in Essex’s Canvey Island in the early 1970s, Dr. Feelgood played no-frills R&B characterized by Johnson’s playful riffs and juddering guitar stabs. He wrote several songs for their first two albums, 1974’s Down by the Jetty and 1975’s Malpractice,…
1600 film critics were polled for Sight & Sound’s once-a-decade list of the greatest films ever made, and when the votes were counted an experimental Belgian film titled Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles — not Vertigo or Citizen Kane or Casablanca — was the greatest film ever made.Although long celebrated by critics (obviously) along with scholars and academics as a landmark feminist and avant-garde cinema, it’s easily the most obscure movie to top the Sight & Sound list in 70 years. Odds are, most casual readers who stumble across the Sight & Sound list will have never seen it. Many have likely never even heard of it at all.Jeanne Dielman was…

They’re gonna hold on. Oscar winner Jessica Chastain and two-time nominee Michael Shannon, costars in the 2011 thriller Take Shelter, reunite as country music’s hotheaded hitmaking couple George Jones and Tammy Wynette in the riveting six-episode profile, George & Tammy. “They had one of the most passionate and indestructible loves I’ve ever seen,” says Shannon of the pair, who wed (the third time for each) in 1969, the year after her legendary “Stand by Your Man” was released. “Even after they were divorced [in 1975] and married to other people, they still couldn’t get over each other.” The actor takes…
To make efficient hydrogen energy technology a reality—from generating hydrogen through electrolysis to next-generation chemical fuel cells—scientists need to know exactly how individual hydrogen atoms move through water. A neutral water molecule comprises two hydrogen atoms bonded to a single oxygen atom, the entire structure bending to give the molecule a partially positive side and a partially negative side, like a magnet. If you could zoom in on a glass of water, you would see trillions of such molecules, along with some excess individual hydrogen atoms that have lost their electrons (in other words, just protons). For 200 years researchers…
