Credit: Wikimedia, CC BY-SA For most of Australia’s human past sea levels were lower than they are today. Australia’s mainland was connected to Papua New Guinea and Tasmania as part of a larger landmass called “Sahul”. During the Ice Ages Sahul was home to a unique range of megafauna, which included giant marsupials, birds and reptiles. The extinction of megafauna in Sahul remains one of the most contested debates in Australian science. Now, our new paper published in Archaeology in Oceania provides compelling evidence megafauna may have coexisted with people in the region longer than previously thought—and as recently as…

Photography courtesy of Mejuri Step 1: build a wardrobe of “perfect basics.” Step 2: add jewellery. By Annika Lautens Date November 7, 2022 Chances are, if you’re on fashion TikTok, your feed has been filled with the same three things: button-down shirts, relaxed black pants, and oversized blazers (and maybe adidas Gazelles). And trust us when we say no one wears them better than Scandinavian-style icon and content creator Matilda Djerf. Considered the face of popular Gen Z aesthetics like “clean girl,” “coastal grandmother,” and “Scandi-girl,” the 25-year-old Swede has become the Internet’s most beloved muse. She’s inspired such videos…
The jig was up the minute Queen (yes, Queen) Rhaenyra Targaryen cast her eyes away from the fire and seemingly set her sights on revenge: This new Game of Thrones show will give you what the last Game of Thrones show didn’t. It was as telegraphed as the fact that [spoiler] was going to die the second he got on that dragon. This show wants to restore the faith of every viewer who felt burned the last time by giving them what they want. Namely: a woman ready to ascend the Iron Throne who won’t lose herself in the process—and…
Peligro made his recorded debut with Dead Kennedys on the 1981 EP In God We Trust, Inc., which famously marked the band’s first of many references railing against President Ronald Reagan. The record also includes their iconic hit “Nazi Punks Fuck Off.” Peligro’s hardcore drumming style continued in a modified form on the band’s sophomore album, 1982’s Plastic Surgery Disasters, and on through their next string of records: 1985’s Frankenchrist, 1986’s Bedtime for Democracy, and the 1987 compilation album Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death.Following Dead Kennedys break up in December 1986, Peligro briefly joined Red Hot Chili Peppers…
This post does NOT contain spoilers for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. We’re not talking at all about what may or may not be in the movie’s post-credits scenes. We’re purely informing you whether there are any in the first place. So you’re good. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever runs 161 minutes. Not quite “forever,” but a fairly long blockbuster. You may need to use the facilities immediately after its conclusion. But of course this is a Marvel movie we are talking about, and Marvel movies almost always have a post-credits scene (or multiple ones) setting up future films and TV series. And you…

A songwriter who sued Mariah Carey over accusations that she stole her “All I Want for Christmas is You” from his earlier song has dropped his lawsuit — for now. Mississippi artist Vince Vance filed his copyright lawsuit this summer, claiming Carey’s 1994 holiday blockbuster infringed his 1989 song of the same name. It was no small accusation: Carey’s “All I Want” has reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 during each of the past three holiday seasons. But in a court filing on Tuesday, Vance’s attorneys moved to voluntarily dismiss the case against Carey. The move means the…
Despite all the upheaval and changes behind the scenes of Warner Bros. Discovery, it appears (key word appears) that HBO Max is still moving ahead with a television show starring the version of the DC villain the Penguin, as played by Colin Farrell in the recent movie The Batman. Farrell himself recently said he had read the script for the premiere episode and described the whole show as very “unusual.” (Well, yeah. Not too many television shows about comic-book super-villains!)As for when we can expect this show, HBO Max head of originals Sarah Aubrey told Variety that the series takes place “immediately after the end of The Batman”…

A tattoo on the left hip bone of a mummified Egyptian woman buried at Deir el-Medina. (Image credit: Anne Austin/University of Missouri-St. Louis)Lower back tattoos may seem like an early 21st century fad popularized by low-rise-jeans clad celebrities, but new archaeological evidence from Egyptian mummies shows the practice is actually more than three millennia old. At the New Kingdom site of Deir el-Medina (1550 B.C. to 1070 B.C.), researchers Anne Austin and Marie-Lys Arnette have discovered that tattoos on ancient flesh and tattooed figurines from the site are likely connected with the ancient Egyptian god Bes, who protected women and children,…

The “Euphoria” star attended the Acqua for Life event, hosted by Armani Beauty, on Tuesday, Nov. 7.

It’s been quite a 2022 for Chris Rock, and not always in a good way. You might have heard about this incident at the Academy Awards this year, it was sort of discussed a little bit. Will Smith slapped Rock in the face, on stage, in the middle of the ceremony, after Rock made a joke at Jada Pinkett Smith’s expense.That was probably not a 2022 highlight for Rock. But at the very least, it could potentially give him some material to draw on for his next big project: The first-ever live stand-up special — or live performance of any kind — on…

Own-Voice Intensive Phonics (OVIP) approach is a computer-assisted instruction system which has already been shown to be effective as part of face-to-face tuition as part of previous research.

Thomas BarwickGetty Images It may not feel like it right now, but the holidays are just around the corner. Basically, it’s time to get into the gift giving mindset. And when it comes to gifts, there is nothing better than something that just keeps on giving, like a beauty advent calendar. Think about it: whether you gift it to someone early in the holiday season so they have something to open each day or if they rip it open all at once, the joy is unmatched. You’re basically giving a month’s worth of gifts all in one! When it comes…
Shortly before AlphaBay took over the dark web’s top spot, Alpha02 had changed his username on the site to merely “admin” and announced that he would no longer accept any private messages sent to him by anyone other than AlphaBay’s staff. Instead, he left much of the site’s communications work to his second-in-command and head of security, a figure who went by the pseudonym DeSnake.The Alpha02 moniker had served its purpose, lending the site its initial credibility. Now the person behind it intended, like discreet criminal bosses the world over, to slip into the shadows, raking in his fortune as…
Jin swung by the GQ offices to share the 10 things he can’t live without — including a BTS pajama set. Showing off the “Good Day”-themed PJs, the K-pop star explained that the few possessions he requires when BTS hits the road are always the same: his computer, keyboard, mouse and the pajamas emblazoned with little cartoon angels, which he designed himself. “When I planned to design pajamas, I just saw blue somewhere,” he said in Korean. “Or I saw something related to angels…I could’ve had a dream about angels, so I put angels into the design. Or maybe on…
By necessity, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever had to take some big leaps away from established Marvel continuity. Although he has taken a few sabbaticals from his role as Black Panther, T’Challa never died in Marvel’s comics, and he remains an active hero. The man who played T’Challa onscreen, Chadwick Boseman, sadly died in 2020 after a battle with colon cancer.Marvel could have theoretically recast the role and continued on as if nothing had happened, but they chose instead to incorporate Boseman’s death into Wakanda Forever’s story, which takes place in the aftermath of King T’Challa’s death, and follows his family (primarily Letitia…
