According to fans in attendance, the band received a “rapturous applause” as they kicked off the concert with a performance of “Wake Up.” The arena was reportedly close to capacity, with only pockets of empty seats in the upper levels. For his part, Butler kept the stage banter to a minimum and made no mention of the allegations levied against him. Instead, he thanked the crowd “from the bottom of my heart” for coming…

Half of the planet’s wetlands are dried out or degraded, and rewetting them could limit more greenhouse gas emissions this century than restoring global forests Environment 25 August 2022 By James Dinneen Coastal wetlands in the UKShutterstock/steved_np3 Restoring dried-out wetlands could avoid emissions equivalent to more than 100 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide by the end of the century, about a tenth of all expected human-caused emissions over the same period. The amount of greenhouse gases emitted by wetlands depends on the amount of water in them. When wetland soil is covered in water, it emits large amounts of methane. When…

Former President Barack Obama released his 2022 Summer Reading List last month, and as usual it’s a fascinating list. He reads diversely in author, genre, and topic, and chooses a variety of well-known and lesser-known books. One thing he does not seem to read (or at least to recommend) is romance. Now, I get it. The man is still recovering from once wearing a beige suit; there’s no way he’s going to recommend “smut;” but let’s just say he was willing to read…
Runaway brides are hardly a novelty in the world of romantic comedy. But a fugitive bride accused of murdering her groom and his family? Meet Katie (Rosa Salazar), who takes it to the next level in the eight-part caper, Wedding Season. The giddily suspenseful farce opens with a failed attempt to re-create the finale of The Graduate, when hopelessly smitten Stefan (Gavin Drea) crashes Katie’s wedding ceremony to sweep her off the altar in a grand gesture. (Credit: Hulu) She tells him to buzz off, using much saltier language, and shortly after Stefan retreats to nurse his bruised ego, police…
I can’t believe that I am talking publicly about my facelift and that millions of people now know how vain I am. But since I don’t believe in gatekeeping, and this was not a decision I took lightly, I’m embracing the power of transparency and sharing information.Having been in the beauty industry for many years as a makeup artist, beauty expert, author, and , by the time I hit my late forties, I’d already tried it all: Botox, fillers, lasers, radio frequency, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), LED, microneedling, and microcurrent therapy. Many of those procedures were effective, if not miraculous, and…

Offset has filed a lawsuit against Quality Control—the label home of Migos—over ownership of his solo recordings, Variety reports and documents viewed by Pitchfork confirm. In the complaint, Offset alleges that Quality Control continues to claim ownership over his recent solo works despite the fact that he bought back those rights last year.The rapper’s lawsuit refers to the label’s alleged hold as “wrongful,” claiming that it “knowingly violates Offset’s rights to his own music.” Offset is seeking a declaratory judgment that Quality Control maintains no rights, title, or interest in his solo career. The suit references a 2021 settlement between…

Credit: Ghedoghedo, CC BY-SA 3.0 , via Wikimedia Commons An 8-year-old boy made a prehistoric discovery this month by finding a giant tooth believed to be from the long-extinct angustidens—a megatooth shark species. Riley Gracely of Pennsylvania discovered the massive tooth during a family vacation to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. According to Palmetto Fossil Excursions (PFE), the boy discovered a 4.75-inch tooth belonging to the extinct shark Carcharocles angustidens while participating in a fossil-hunting excursion near Summerville. “Truly the find of a lifetime,” PFE wrote in an Aug. 11 Facebook post. “This young man just scored a…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write A Day for Bones? The flood that starts the novel is based on a pair of real catastrophic floods in Ellicott City, Maryland in 2016 and 2018. The HorseSpirit Arts Gallery, where most of a skeleton is found in the wake of the flood, is real, although its owner relocated to Savage, Maryland after the 2018 flood. What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write? In fiction, I’ve mostly read mysteries for the past couple of decades. I used to read…
There was plenty of excitement about the move to Disney+ for Dancing With the Stars. Many thought the iconic series would look to Disney’s content catalog to bring some big stars into the roster. While the cast is set to be revealed next month, TMZ has unveiled our first two celebrities. Charl D’Amelio will compete for the mirrorball trophy, and one of her competitors will be her mother. The reality series has also cast Heidi D’Amelio, meaning the mother and daughter will both have a chance of winning. It’s undoubtedly a big swing to have two members of the same…

One hundred miles north of Philadelphia, the Billion Oyster Project has been restoring the bivalves in New York Harbor since 2010, engaging more than 10,000 volunteers and 6,000 students in the project. Oyster nurseries are being installed in Belfast Lough in Northern Ireland, where until recently they were believed to have been extinct for a century. And a hatchery 30 miles west of Chicago has dispersed 25,000 mussels into area waterways, boosting the populations of common freshwater mussel species.Underwater vegetation restoration projects have been underway in the Chesapeake Bay and Tampa Bay for years, and more recently in California where…
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Nitrous oxide may be much less abundant in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, but as a greenhouse gas, it’s a doozy. With a potency 300 times greater than CO2, nitrous oxide’s warming potential, especially via agriculture, demands attention. University of Illinois and University of Minnesota researchers are answering the call. In a new study, they document an overlooked but crucial timeframe for nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in U.S. Midwest agricultural systems: the non-growing season. “Nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural soils have mostly been studied during the growing season. Previous research shows non-growing season N2O emissions can…
Weezer have revealed the cancelation of their plotted residency on Broadway. The Los Angeles alt-rockers had planned six consecutive nights of shows on the Great White Way next month in support of their four-pronged music project, SZNZ, which kicked off in March with the SZNZ: Spring EP.But this week, bandleader Rivers Cuomo told Weezer fans on the band’s official Discord server that the residency had been called off due to a dearth of ticket sales combined with large production costs. It was scheduled to run Sept. 13-18 at Broadway Theatre in New York.”I just learned that our Broadway shows have been cancelled (due to low ticket sales and unbelievably high expenses),” Cuomo said on Discord, according to Pitchfork.He continued,…
Kids growing up in the ’80s and ’90s dreamed that one day Hollywood would figure out how to make movies that looked as exciting as the comics Marvel and DC printed every single month. Back then, the one complaint leveled constantly against the rare comic-book movies that did get made was “They’re nothing like the comics!” It was true, too. Even the good comic-book movies of the era like Batman often played very fast and loose in adapting comics to the silver screen. After all, superheroes were silly stuff for children. They would never work if you just directly translated the source material, right?Today, of the ten biggest domestic films in history,…

Christopher Intagliata: Artificial intelligence systems have bested humans at chess, poker, Jeopardy, Go, and countless other games. But machines still aren’t that great at understanding some basic rules about the physical world. Susan Hespos: They still can’t do what 3-month-olds do. And I’m a champion for babies at the end of the day and this is a clear win for babies. Babies are still slam dunking our most powerful computers when it comes to intuitive physics. Intagliata: Cognitive psychologist Susan Hespos of Northwestern University listed off a few examples of those “intuitive physics” principles. Like “solidity” – your coffee cup…

It’s one of the biggest-selling albums of all time, but Metallica’s self-titled disc (aka “The Black Album”) marked a major turning point for the band long before it was released on Aug. 12, 1991. It was the first solid indication Metallica were no longer interested in writing pure thrash metal and wanted to reach a much larger, more mainstream audience.The success of the “One” video from …And Justice for All helped Metallica rise to the top of the metal heap. At the risk of alienating some of its most loyal fans the band decided to join forces with uber-producer Bob Rock and…
Fans still have a few days to watch GoodFellas on Netflix.Starting Wednesday, August 31, Netflix subscribers won’t be able to watch GoodFellas anymore.

For readers of romance novels with explicit sex scenes, beloved books have been derided as smut for ages. Scores of romance readers have kept their habits secret, fearing judgment about their intellects, their tastes, even their own sex lives. Reclaiming the word disarms it, making the term a badge of honor rather than an insult. This reclamation within the romance reading community fascinates me. First, it skips over one common defense of romance, namely…

Using skin biopsy samples, investigators found that patients with severe COVID-19 had clots in small venous and arterial blood vessels in skin that appears normal. This was not seen in the skin of patents with other types of severe infectious lung disease, or in individuals with only mild or moderate COVID-19. Their findings appear in The American Journal of Pathology, published by Elsevier. The researchers document, for the first time in premortem evidence, that a minimally invasive skin biopsy can help assess tissue damage related to COVID-19 as well as help distinguish this blood vessel pathology from other forms of…
“I have secret boobs. I do—32Cs. It’s just I have such clavicle issues, I don’t like them on show.” This was something Alexa Chung said in a 2011 interview with British Vogue that not only stuck with me throughout my twenties, but confirmed in some small way that how I was dressing at the time (hiding my own 34C boobs) was, in fact, considered chic.For years, I have tried to compress my chest (usually with no-wire triangle bras that flatten rather than add lift), or hide my breasts in oversized oxford shirts, loose-fitting cashmere sweaters, and baggy white T-shirts tucked…
