In October—just prior to the release of the band’s retrospective box set—Bush Tetras’ founding drummer Dee Pop died at age 65. Prior to a handful of shows they’re playing later this year, the band members announced today that they’ve brought on a new drummer: Sonic Youth’s Steve Shelley.In a statement, Bush Tetras said they’ve known Shelley for years. “We knew it would be impossible to replace Dee in many ways, but having Steve join us has been both comforting and invigorating,” vocalist Cynthia Sley said in a statement. “He just fit in seamlessly, like a missing puzzle piece. We can…

It continues to be true that school boards have become the new target of right-wing activists, itching for more “parental rights” over curriculum, education, and information access in public schools. Conservatives cheered in Wisconsin as several party-aligned members were ushered into school board seats across the Milwaukee suburbs. In Flagler County, Florida, every candidate for the school board attended an event sponsored by Moms For Liberty to discuss their vision for the role were they to be elected to. In Durham County, North Carolina, where Democrats outnumber Republicans by healthy numbers, the upcoming school board election roster is packed with…
MSNBC will welcome back Rachel Maddow on Monday as the political commentator returns from hiatus to host her nightly program, The Rachel Maddow Show. According to The Wrap, sources close to the situation claim that Maddow will return in a full-time capacity starting April 11. The long-time host started her hiatus on January 31, explaining at the time that she would be working on a film adaptation of her podcast Bag Man. “There may eventually be another hiatus again sometime in my future,” she told viewers. “But for now, we’re just taking it one step at a time.” The movie,…
Researchers have uncovered new details about the lives and violent deaths of the “bodies in the bog” — a group of medieval skeletons discovered in 1975 in a former Roman-era latrine in Cramond, Scotland. (In the UK, “bog” is also slang for a toilet.)The buried individuals, who received stunning digital facial reconstructions based on their skeletons in prior research, include nine adults and five infants who lived in Scotland in the sixth century. Now, a new analysis of the isotopes (different versions of elements) in the bones and teeth of the skeletons reveals that several members of the group traveled…
Angelina Jolie’s outfits always catch our attention, but especially when she’s in Paris (because who doesn’t love to see what people wear in Paris?). Jolie was recently in the City of Lights with her kids wearing a characteristically chic outfit. She wore her signature neutral color palette, opting for a white T-shirt, tan accessories and the subject of this story: full-length wide-leg khaki pants. If trouser muses were a thing (and perhaps they are), Angelina Jolie would be at the top of the list. You may recall that Jolie recently wore wide-leg jeans to the airport, and the look basically went viral. Wide-leg, full-length pants…
Astronomers have long observed Saturn and its rings using telescopes that have been placed on Earth and in space. The mysterious planet has always excited scientists. But how does the Earth look from Saturn’s perspective? NASA has shared an image of the second-largest planet and some of its rings that also showed how our Earth compared to Saturn. It appears like a shiny, tiny dot against a vast blue canvas. The wide-angle image was captured by the Cassini spacecraft in 2013.While Saturn is about 1.61 billion kilometres away from Earth, the image was captured from nearly 1.4 billion km away…

Although it has been hinted at and alluded to throughout the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts franchises, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is the first film in either franchise to make it explicit that Hogwarts’ beloved headmaster Albus Dumbledore is gay, and had a past romantic relationship with his arch-nemesis, Gellert Grindelwald. Dumbledore’s dialogue in the new Fantastic Beasts includes lines about being “in love” with Grindelwald on two separate occasions.But Chinese audiences won’t hear either of them, as the roughly six seconds of spoken dialogue have been removed from the film for its release in China. Warner Bros. released this statement about their decision to…

“People are saying you’re God’s gift, you’re this or that, and you walk on water, and you don’t feel that. You just feel like a person that’s got just as much pain and confusion and problems going on as anyone else.” A new episode of ABC News’ Superstar series will profile Patrick Swayze and chronicle the beloved actor’s rise to fame, TV Insider has learned exclusively.

Cancer patients who have compromised immune systems due to their disease or therapy remain at high risk for COVID-19 infection. It is why this population was one of the first to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. However, while clinical trials showed vaccination could prevent infection or lessen the risk of severe illness in healthy individuals, it was unclear if those considered immunocompromised would have a similar response. Moffitt Cancer Center researchers quickly put together one of the largest observational studies to date to answer that question. Their results were published today in JAMA Oncology. The study, led by Drs. Anna R.…
Now that spring has arrived, my desire to shop has increased tenfold. I’ve made an alarming amount of trips to the mall and been adding pieces to my cart virtually more than I should probably admit. But one consistency I’ve noticed among my many hauls lately is that I’ve been very drawn to linen in all forms: pants, bags, dresses, you name it. I recently added Old Navy’s now nearly sold-out Linen-Blend Pointy-Toe Mule Flats ($22, originally $25), which I expect to be one of my go-to pairs of footwear this spring. But now I have a new obsession: the…
For the past two years, the hottest data set in the United Kingdom has dropped every Friday. Scientists, journalists, and amateur data sleuths all dial up one specific website: The Covid-19 Infection Survey, run by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), an independent government agency. With 180,000 participants who are swabbed every fortnight, it is one of the largest surveys of coronavirus infections and antibodies in the UK. It monitors how many people are infected with Covid at any one time and whether specific regions or age groups are at particular risk. Because it samples such a large and randomized…
Shawn Mendes wears his heart on his sleeve in his latest single, the sentimental “When You’re Gone.” The track, which debuts in the top 40 of this week’s Billboard Hot 100, at No. 38, seemingly addresses his breakup from fellow pop star Camila Cabello. In an Instagram video posted ahead of the song’s release, Mendes addressed how he felt alone following the split. “Who do I call when I’m in a panic attack?” he asks in the clip. “Who do I call when I’m, like, f—ing on the edge? That’s the reality that kind of hit me: ‘Oh, I’m on…

Infants whose mothers participated in a mindfulness-based program during pregnancy had healthier stress responses at 6 months old, a new UC San Francisco study found. This is the first known study to show that a prenatal social intervention may improve health outcomes in offspring, as measured by autonomic nervous system responses, said Amanda Noroña-Zhou, PhD, first author of the study in Psychosomatic Medicine. “It is really well established that maternal stress in pregnancy increases the risk for health problems in the children,” said Noroña-Zhou, PhD, a clinical psychologist affiliated with UCSF’s Center for Health and Community. “But we haven’t had…
If I could live in any decade, it would hands down be the ’70s—not because I find anything about the way of life particularly endearing, but rather I’m absolutely head over heels for the aesthetic. From flared jeans to supersized sunglasses, when it comes to ’70s fashion, I’m all in.However, as a beauty editor, I feel somewhat inclined to say that the single best thing about the ’70s was the hair. I’m so obsessed with ’70s hairstyles, in fact, that I have rocked the same ’70s-style, long, middle-parted mop for well over 10 years. But it’s not just super-long hair that really defined the decade. Everything from shaggy…
Ten days into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, TikTok announced it had suspended new posts from Russian accounts due to the country’s new “fake news” law. But the company was quieter about a second policy shift—one that blocked TikTok users in Russia from seeing any content posted by accounts located outside the country.Findings by social media research collective Tracking Exposed suggest that TikTok enfolded its Russian users in a vast echo chamber intended to pacify president Vladimir Putin’s government. Inside that digital enclave, a network of Russian accounts posting pro-invasion content somehow kept operating. “There was clear manipulation of the information…

A dramatic dead end of heavy-handed storytelling, AMC‘s 61st Street loads its deck so obviously that its best intentions and first-rate cast barely stand a chance. Emmy winner Courtney B. Vance (American Crime Story) is, as always, excellent as an underdog public defender Franklin Roberts, who’s taking on one Last Big Case. And should you think it’s mere coincidence that he keeps struggling for breath and appears to be nursing a private pain all the time, welcome to the melodramatic style of series creator Peter Moffat, whose devices here are only slightly less ludicrous than in his Showtime series Your…
Climate change poses a potentially devastating economic threat to low-income cattle farmers in poor countries due to increasing heat stress on the animals. Globally, by the end of this century those producers may face financial loss between $15 and $40 billion annually. Farmers in tropical regions — including large parts of South America, Asia and Africa — are likely to suffer significantly, particularly when compared with producers in the world’s wealthier temperate zones, according to a study by an international team of scientists and economists published in the Lancet Planetary Health. The researchers, including Mario Herrero, professor of sustainable food…

Now a Californian startup has taken the same approach, but this time with poplar trees. In a non-peer-reviewed preprint first posted on February 19, scientists at Living Carbon claimed that by inserting new genes into poplar trees, they can make the plants grow 53 percent more quickly than their non-edited equivalents. Both sets of trees were grown under controlled conditions that differ significantly from the ones the plants would face in the wild, but Hall hopes that the edited trees will supercharge tree-planting plans by drawing down atmospheric carbon more quickly.“Our belief is that climate change is a problem of…
