When prepping for a trip, something we’ve all contended with is that we’re so preoccupied with figuring out what to pack for the trip that what to wear to the airport becomes an afterthought, even though that’s one of the most important outfits of the entire trip, in my opinion. It can be a challenge to find the perfect outfit for a travel day that checks all the boxes: comfortable, stylish, and versatile enough to handle varying temperatures. But you know whose airport outfits always check all the boxes? Dua Lipa.Dua Lipa was recently spotted at JFK, and she seems…
When Soundgarden Wrote “Black Hole Sun,” they may have inadvertently been onto something.In a new paper in Nature, scientists have chronicled a “black hole star” that’s the size of our solar system and glows bright red in the depth of space. The findings are based on observations from the James Webb Space Telescope, which continues to change how astronomers think about the cosmos.Researchers focused on some of the most distant observable phenomena in the universe, which appear to be something like a star in disguise. Based on the light they emit, they appear to share some characteristics with giant stars,…

Social media has upended how people engage with healthcare, as it provides a platform for people to share their experiences, find support groups, and learn more about symptoms and conditions. But it’s also given nefarious actors a platform to promote products, spread misinformation and prey on people’s fears. Meanwhile, algorithms deliver users an individually tailored stream of content, promoting and prioritizing the most engaging posts with little oversight.In her book “Bad Influence: How the Internet Hijacked Our Health” (Oneworld Publications, 2026), author Dr. Deborah Cohen, a broadcaster, journalist and editor who has a medical degree from the University of Manchester…
The next morning, John retrieves Hal from the sheriff’s department — where Kerry kept him in a broom closet, because OF COURSE she saw through his ruse — and Hal is arraigned. A local lawyer steps up during the proceedings and offers to represent Hal, who hires him on the spot; the lawyer is Billy Macon (Jason Ritter, “Matlock”), and he happens to be Kerry’s husband. After Billy gets Hal released, he invites them to his father’s ranch that night for dinner. His father is a huge Green Lantern fan, he explains, and really wants to meet the hero himself.…
Body horror, at its best, reacquaints us with the flesh, asking us to accept the strange and often disturbing experiences of what that entails. Veronica’s nightmare of giving birth to a writhing maggot-baby – arguably the film’s most unforgettable image – locates that same fear of threatened bodily autonomy in unmistakably gendered terms. Brundle fears the body he no longer recognises, but Veronica fears a body capable of producing new life beyond her control. It is this viscerality, rendered through the film’s Oscar-winning practical effects, that captures the fraught relationship with our bodies so acutely. Of course, simply being acquainted with the flesh…
Here are the eleven best 1970s glam rock albums ranked in order.There probably isn’t another period in rock history quite like the early-to-mid 1970s and there probably never will be again, in all honesty. As we know, the late 1960s was when the tides began to turn; gone were the days where people thought The Beatles actually had long hair. By the time the 1970s rolled around, it was game over. Rockstars were decked out in makeup, platform boots, glitter, and clothes that simply would’ve been unthinkable a few years earlier. Some of the Alice Cooper group’s first outfits were old…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write this book? The ghost mall phenomenon inspired Mall Goddess. Having grown up in the Midwest, I’m struck by the transformation of malls from fun meeting places to acres of emptiness. I hope these old buildings will transform in a positive way. So, I set a story in a crumbling behemoth. The characters within the mall battle against changing times and corruption. It’s a light-hearted read, but it’s firmly grounded in the real-life evolution of brick-and-mortar to online retail, and how this impacts people\’s financial stability and community connections. If…

I’m a beauty editor, so it’s part of my job to trial and document the eye creams that blast away dark circles and the serums that revive dull skin. While these lotions and potions get us to the finish line, everyone knows that the real driver behind bright under-eyes and plump skin is adequate sleep.While I have a seemingly endless number of products that can place a Band-Aid over a bigger issue, I know enough about the human body to recognize that I’ll never achieve the complexion, energy, or metabolism I desire until my sleep quality improves. But as someone…
I’m already growing hoarse in Golden Gate Park as Charli XCX takes the stage at a San Francisco music festival. The crowd starts jumping as a guitar hook hits, and I reluctantly comply, bouncing around on these aging knees as my chunky Puff necklace almost flies off the chain.During a lull in the set, someone next to me compliments the necklace, which has stainless steel swirls and a bulbous orange center. Their eyes grow wide as I flip the cap off and explain that it’s a hidden USB flash drive—I plugged the Puff into my phone to show off the…

Four lemurs that had close contact with people, including one via a “lemur yoga” class, caught a human herpesvirus and subsequently died, a new study shows.The virus at fault was herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), which is extremely common in humans. In people, the infection usually causes no symptoms or produces cold sores. In primates, though, the infections can often be deadly — in this case, all four lemurs developed encephalitis, or inflammation of the brain, and died.This is the first time that an HSV-1 infection has been confirmed in lemurs via a molecular analysis — namely, PCR tests…
NBC In 1967, Julie Newmar — who was already well known for her slinky portrayal of Catwoman on another hit 1960s TV show, “Batman” — beamed her way into the 2nd season of the original “Star Trek” series. Her character made it to the end of her episode, too. But if writer D.C. Fontana had her way, that ending would have been far more tragic. In “Friday’s Child,” Captain Kirk (William Shatner), Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley) must protect Eleen, the pregnant widow of Capella IV’s slain…

Though they haven’t made a hit in 25 years, Sugar Ray has never really gone away in the minds of millennials like Julia Jacklin, who grew up on Mark McGrath and co.’s indelible late ‘90s alt-rock-and-pop blend.

Check out her slightly more downtempo version below.“I’ve liked it since I was a little kid,” Jacklin says about the track. “I love any way to connect with my younger self as much as I can. I feel like we were singing it together: me now, and…

Hulu THE PERFORMER | Lola Petticrew THE SHOW | Hulu’s “Furious” THE EPISODE | “Pick a Sticker” (August 10, 2026) THE PERFORMANCE | For much of Hulu’s “Furious” thus far, serial killer Catherine has seemed largely unflappable. She knows the men on whom she wants to exact revenge — all men who abused her, in some form, in her youth — and she’s hardly flinched while leading each of them to their demise. But Catherine’s cool exterior has been masking a hurt and haunted young woman, and Lola Petticrew spent…
Recently, I went to see Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey in beautiful 70 mm at the Filmhouse here in Edinburgh. I was completely blown away by its scale, ambition and visual beauty, but I was also troubled by its relationship to Homer’s original text, the changes to the story, to Odysseus’ character, and to key elements of the plot.Then I saw it again, and something changed. The second time, I was able to put aside my expectations of what The Odyssey should be and see it on its own terms as Nolan’s version of this ancient story, reimagined for a new generation. I realised that my resistance the first time wasn’t really…

BERLIN — Archaeologists have finally determined which weapon caused mysterious square holes in the skulls of soldiers who died in the 1361 Battle of Visby. Close analysis of the bone fractures and cutting-edge motion-capture technology revealed that medieval combatants worked in groups to methodically incapacitate their opponents and then deliver a final, fatal blow with a spiked club.”We have to understand the complexity of medieval combat; it’s not a simple process,” Patrick Randolph-Quinney, a biological anthropologist at Uppsala University in Sweden, said in a research presentation Aug. 5 at the 25th European Paleopathology Association meeting in Berlin. The research has…
Disney/Hulu The Onyx Collective series “Deli Boys” has been canceled at Hulu after just two seasons, TVLine has confirmed. The series had been a priority for Onyx, which pushed for more cast members at the end of its freshman season. After “SNL” vet Fred Armisen joined as a series regular, the show was eventually renewed for Season 2. The series later added a supporting cast that included Andrew Rannells, Kumail Nanjiani, Lilly Singh, Robin Thede, and Tan France, but following the second run’s low ratings, even those late additions couldn’t help it…
