In this undated photo provided by Tennessee Aquarium, an endangered barrens topminnow is seen at the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, Tenn. The tiny, iridescent Barrens topminnow spent more than 40 years in endangered species limbo — under on-and-off review but never officially listed as endangered. It was finally given federal protection in 2019, but its future is still in doubt. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says they hope to propose designated critical habitat by the end of 2022.

Disney has already turned Marvel and Star Wars from movie franchises into Disney+ properties. Now, they’ve reportedly begun exploring the possibility of an Indiana Jones series. This news comes as the company is finishing a fifth Indiana Jones film, which was recently filmed; Harrison Ford is set to star in the latest sequel, which will presumably be his last outing in the character’s signature fedora.According to Variety, Disney and Lucasfilm “have specifically been bringing up the possibility of a streaming show set in the world of the globe trotting archaeologist in general meetings with writers of late.” That suggests the concept is in extremely early stages, so it is totally unclear whether this…
You know those reading memes and cartoons that circulate regularly that say something to the effect of, “Reading is just staring at slices of trees and hallucinating vividly”? I never understood that. Not just because that’s not what hallucinations are, but also because I don’t really visualize when I read. I don’t have complete aphantasia, but I can’t hold images in my head. I get flickers or indistinct pictures. I certainly don’t see a whole movie play out in my head when I read, and I don’t particularly want to. I’ve learned that I am in the minority on this.…
No one has better lines in Yellowstone than Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler. Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser‘s characters are a couple of spitfires who literally won’t hesitate to toss a snake into a cooler just to throw it at you later. In Yellowstone‘s world of tough ones, these two have the most bite. In Yellowstone Season 5, the newly married Beth and Rip will show their softer sides, but only to each other. Just because they’re each other’s sweet spot doesn’t mean they don’t spew some fiery words at their spouse time and again. In fact, it’s playful banter…
French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna waits to speak at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington. France’s foreign minister voiced alarm Friday over a massive US climate spending package, saying it risked unfair competition, but said Europe did not want a green trade war. Parts of President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, which will pump $370 billion into green energy, “from our point of view impact the level playing field between the US and European actors,” Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna said at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. Her remarks echo German and French…
Tuxedo shirt, $750, pants, $1,190, Ralph Lauren Collection. Watch, Omega.Sharif HamzaAriana DeBose isn’t a newcomer. “I’ve been pounding the pavement on Broadway for 10 years,” the actress reminds me over drinks at The Living Room at the Park Hyatt New York. She arrives early, wearing jeans and a white tank, topped off with an electric-yellow floral blazer, and is so friendly and low-key that it’s hard to match her with the woman who wore a glamorous custom red Valentino ensemble, including a cape, as she stepped onstage to claim her Academy Award earlier this year. If some in Hollywood only…
gaming laptops aren’t what we’d call cheap. Still, they’re often more cost-effective than building your own gaming PC, peripherals and all, with the added benefit of being much more travel-friendly. Yes, you can spend well more than $2,500 for a fully kitted-out laptop, but there’s still strong value to be found at the lower end of the market (around $1,000). We’ve played all sorts of games on a range of budget gaming laptops and whittled the list down to the best. We prioritized laptops with Nvidia’s RTX graphics cards, at least an 11th-gen Intel or 5000-series AMD Ryzen chip, and 16…

It was a moderate hurricane whose damage seemed tame compared to the destruction five years earlier from Hurricane Maria. But in the weeks since Hurricane Fiona hit Puerto Rico, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has given emergency aid to far more residents of the U.S. territory than after Maria demolished the islands, records show. The startling contrast is the most visible example of how policy shifts by the Biden administration since 2021 have made it easier for people in disaster areas to qualify for emergency cash, housing aid and supplies. The changes aimed to address concerns that FEMA was distributing…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Lizzie Fox? Several years ago while attending the Austin Film Festival, writer and director, John Lee Hancock encouraged me to write a screenplay about things I was familiar with and have a female as the protagonist. Lizzie Fox the novel started out as an award-winning screenplay. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Lizzie Fox, what would they be? Funny you should ask, the chapter headings in Lizzie Fox are popular songs of the era that reflect the mood and tone of that chapter.…
Neve Campbell won’t be starring in a midseason crime drama on ABC after all: The network has ended development on Avalon, a David E. Kelley series that would have marked Campbell’s first post-Scream leading role.

Photography by Getty Images The model turned her viral cucumber-cutting moment into a costume. By Jennifer Berry Date November 1, 2022 Listen, I have no illusions about one of the talents of the Kardashian-Jenner family — they know how to bait the public and create viral moments. It’s a particular area of expertise of the ever-crafty matriarch Kris Jenner; the devil works hard but the momager truly works harder. So when model Kendall Jenner went viral earlier this year for having quite literally never held a knife or chopped a vegetable before, one could not be blamed for assuming it…

One of the long-promised benefits of quantum computers is simulating molecules very quickly, but it turns out that these extra-fast speeds might not be possible Technology 16 August 2022 By Alex Wilkins An artist’s impression of a quantum computerBartlomiej K. Wroblewski/Shutterstock Quantum computers may not be able to simulate molecules and solve other problems in chemistry as fast as researchers had hoped, a new analysis has found. The promise of quantum computers is that they can solve some tasks exponentially faster than ordinary computers, but this hasn’t yet been demonstrated for useful, real-world problems. One highly anticipated application is calculating…

Have you noticed that the opening credits to Andor are changing week to week and episode to episode? It’s true, each week the score that plays during the opening title card changes.
