As a fashion editor with a serious case of handbag-obsession, uncovering new bag styles on the market has become a bit of a weakness for me. I may be the only person among my friends who sets an alarm for release dates, and if there’s a limited edition drop to be found, you can guarantee I’ve already added it to my wish list; but my real passion comes from finding bags that look like they cost the earth but are really much more affordable finds. In the wake of Walmart’s trending take on the Hermés Birkin, or should I say…
On Tuesday, Santa Ana winds swept seaward through Southern California, scattering embers and then fanning flames of a growing wildfire. By nighttime, residents received urgent text alerts warning of potential 100 mph gusts—a terrifying escalation that transformed a precarious situation into a full-blown crisis. As the winds howled, more embers took flight, sparking new fires in dry, brittle brushlands that hadn’t seen significant rain in over eight months.Los Angeles County, primed by drought-like conditions, was a tinderbox waiting for a spark. Firefighters faced an uphill battle against winds so severe that airplanes used to drop water and flame retardants were…

Macy delivers a 21st-century protagonist. Elda Ainsworth, graying at the temples but…
The Palisades Fire advancing on homes in Los AngelesEthan Swope/Associated Press/Alamy Fast-moving wildfires in the Los Angeles area are burning out of control long after fire season normally ends in California. Powerful Santa Ana winds are not unusual for this time of year but they have arrived after months of drought. The combination has led to a disastrous series of fires, in a possible indication of how climate change is shifting the way fires behave in the state. “While Santa Ana fires are nothing new in southern California, this type of explosive fire event has never happened in January before,…

New Line is billing their new thriller Companion as having come from “the unhinged creators of Barbarian,” the surprise hit horror film from 2022. That movie was written and directed by Zack Cregger, who is involved in Companion — but only as a producer. Companion was actually written and directed by Drew Hancock, whose previous efforts include creating the TV series My Dead Ex and writing for Surburgatory and Blue Mountain State. Its two stars are Yellowjackets’ Sophie Thatcher and The Boys’ Jack Quaid. As for the premise, it’s not entirely clear from the trailer, but you’ll get a pretty good sense of the vibes at least (which do seem sort of Barbarian-y, but…
Editor’s Note: This article was originally published in 2016. It’s being re-shared today in light of David Bowie’s birthday. Digging through a friend’s record collection can be an interesting way to get to know their tastes and personality. Looking through an artist genius’ vinyl stacks, however, can be downright enlightening. As Open Culture uncovered, David Bowie rummaged through his impressive collection of 2,500 LPs back in 2003 to pick out 25 records he said “could change your reputation.” The list of favorites ranges from spoken word (The Last Poets’ 1970 self-titled album) to classical (Gundula Janowitz’s performance of Strauss’ Four Last Songs) to good ol’ underground rock…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Damned Yankees? I got the idea during my year-long study at the Naval War College in Newport, RI, for a master’s degree in National Security and Strtegic Studies. I took a Revolutionary War elective and became fascinated by the course premise that “those who fight their nation’s wars are typically those least able to avoid it.” If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Damned Yankees, what would they be? For my main character, Jack, it would be “Can’t Find My Way Home” by Steve…

Critic’s Rating: 3.5 / 5.03.5We’re seven seasons in, and The Rookie still knows how to start with a bang. Following the disjointed and cumbersome nature of The Rookie Season 6, it’s too early to determine this season’s vibes.

With the way that fashion operates, we’re constantly being persuaded to try the newest trends. There’s nothing wrong with that, per se, but there’s no denying that it can get pretty exhausting. Celebrities don’t seem to be immune to this feeling either, as they often go back to the basics—especially when it comes to footwear. Three A-list It girls—the newly engaged Zendaya, Kendall Jenner, and Hailey Bieber—just drove this point home.Over the weekend, Bieber and Jenner stepped out for dinner together wearing the same classic heel style, and today, Zendaya stepped out for a Challengers panel wearing the same style:…

Restorers at a famous Gothic church in Germany have discovered a “huge fortune” that was hidden in the leg of a statue nearly 400 years ago. The treasure — four bags of coins from the 1600s — was likely concealed during the Thirty Years’ War, when Swedish soldiers frequently plundered the region.The discovery is an “incredible story,” Ulf Dräger, curator and head of department at the State Coin Cabinet of Saxony-Anhalt in Germany, told Live Science in an email.

On Friday, U.S. surgeon general Vivek Murthy suggested a major change in how America labels alcoholic drinks: booze should come with cigarette-style warnings, given that alcohol is a leading preventable cause of cancer, similar to the labeling Ireland is rolling out later this year. This has intensified focus on alcohol ahead of the scheduled update to the US Dietary Guidelines for Americans later this year, but it’s not clear if new labels should be expected—adding them would require action from Congress.Drinkers, though, are already taking their own action. If the bars look a bit emptier this month, it may be…
As Joe Matthews notes in his inspirational story Cycling for a Cause, “Life is not a dress rehearsal. You only get one shot at it, so why not try and make it count.” Matthews made his life count by cycling across the country and raising funds for those affected by the invasion of Ukraine — although his underlying message is that even small acts of kindness or charity can profoundly change someone else. In this recent interview, Matthews described his journey, what inspired it, and what he took away from it. Q: Your journey began with a major physical challenge:…

Critic’s Rating: 4.6 / 5.04.6That was some cliffhanger, and hopefully, the showrunners are confident that NBC will renew it for another season because this can’t be the end. Before that, let’s discuss what happened in Brilliant Minds Season 1 Episode 12 and how the apartment collapsed, changing many characters’ lives.
