As someone who is equally devoted to books and the internet, I am endlessly fascinated by the failure of online writing to live up to its potential as a form. Previously, I wrote about how interactive ebooks were once seen as the future of books, and how they have completely failed to live up to what was projected about them. They are such a tiny niche that it’s arguable about whether they even count as books as at all — what’s the line between a pick-a-path video game and an interactive ebook? To some extent, I can see how interactive…

Sometimes all you need to do to truly understand someone is to put yourself in their shoes. Or, remember all the great things you loved about them before the relationship turned sour. Jake and Bode have to put aside their issues on Fire Country Season 1 Episode 6 to work together and save four lives, theirs included. This turn of events reignites something they liked about each other from their past, and this could be the second beginning of the rest of their friendship. Bode’s biggest shortcoming is that he thinks he can waltz back into the lives of people who care…
A University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center researcher’s team developed new chemical compounds that show promise as a potential anticancer therapy to treat aggressive tumors. The study led by Samuel G. Awuah, Ph.D., was published in Chemical Communications with Adedamola Arojojoye, a graduate student in Awuah’s lab as the paper’s first author. The new gold-derived compounds created by Awuah’s lab were toxic to cancer cells but well-tolerated by mice, giving them potential in the development of new cancer drugs that could make it to the clinic. Many metal-based therapies have proven to be effective against cancer, with platinum-based drugs a…
Intrigued by the idea of hexes but not sure where to start? Fear not. Here’s how to cast a healing hex from the comfort of your own home This article was originally published in June 2016.

Mere hours after Elon Musk kicked off a new era at Twitter, the billionaire owner was deluged with pleas and demands from banned account holders and world leaders.The flood of requests underscore the challenge the CEO of electric car maker Tesla faces, balancing a promise to restore free speech while preventing the platform from descending into a “hellscape,” as he had vowed in an open letter to advertisers on Thursday.Former US President Donald Trump, who was permanently banned from Twitter over accusations of inciting violence after the January 6, 2021 capitol riots, welcomed the takeover, but said little about his return to Twitter. “I am very…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The SEAL and the Artist? Hali and I have a very similar backstory. I wanted to write a positive story about surviving something awful, the impact of friendship, the power of love, and coming out whole on the other side of that.

Birds of a feather flock together. And so do bats and fishes and any little critter hoping that getting lost in the crowd will keep them off the evening menu. But predators gotta eat. So they, in turn, have come up with clever ways to cut through the visual clutter of a churning mass of panicked prey to hone in on their target. For hawks who forage in massive swarms of bats, the trick, it seems, is to just dive in and grab whatever hapless flier happens to share your trajectory. That’s according to a study in the journal Nature…
The agency’s lander felt the ground shake during the impact while cameras aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spotted the yawning new crater from space. NASA’s InSight lander recorded a magnitude 4 marsquake last Dec. 24, but scientists learned only later the cause of that quake: a meteoroid strike estimated to be one of the biggest seen on Mars since NASA began exploring the cosmos. What’s more, the meteoroid excavated boulder-size chunks of ice buried closer to the Martian equator than ever found before — a discovery with implications for NASA’s future plans to send astronauts to the Red Planet. Scientists…
Jeremy Moeller There’s no denying that sweater season has officially commenced. Even if the weather can’t seem to make up its mind, I’ve made up mine: It’s fall, and I’m going to dress like it. It goes without saying that everyone’s favorite chilly-weather garment is the chunky sweater. Simply put: Words can’t explain the way the best fall sweaters (which as perfectly cozy and comfy) will make you feel. Personally, if I could fashion a sweater from my favorite blanket, I probably would. (Once I learn to sew, it’s over for these all y’all.) Until the spring thaw begins, you…

Most of the time, Frank is a pillar of integrity. He makes decisions that aren’t popular and that his staff doesn’t understand, but they make sense because of his commitment to his cops and his family. Blue Bloods Season 13 Episode 6 was the exception to the rule. Frank declined a speaking invitation that would have allowed him to share his wisdom with a bunch of students interested in criminal justice, all because he felt a previous crop of students had disrespected the NYPD. That wasn’t an integrity-based decision. It was purely petty. Frank’s reasoning made little sense here. Refusing…

Sixty-six years ago, Jerry Lee Lewis, who died Oct. 28 at the age of 87, shook America’s nerves and rattled its brains. The Dec. 22, 1956, issue of Billboard savored his debut single, “Crazy Arms,” as a “flavor-packed disk,” and the magazine went on to track the rise of “Whole Lot of Shakin’ Going On” and “Great Balls of Fire,” both of which scored on the country, R&B and pop charts all at once. And as Elvis Presley turned his attention to Hollywood and then to the U.S. Army, Lewis seemed poised to vie for The King’s throne until a…

Atrial fibrillation — a form of irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia — leads to more than 454,000 hospitalizations and nearly 160,000 deaths in the United States each year. Globally, it is estimated that approximately 60 million people are affected by the condition. Pacemakers are lifesaving devices that regulate the heartbeats of people with chronic heart diseases like atrial fibrillation and other forms of arrhythmia. However, pacemaker implantation is an invasive procedure, and the lifesaving pacing the devices provide can be extremely painful. Additionally, pacemakers can only be used to treat a few specific types of disease. In a paper published Wednesday…
