On Love Is Blind Season 2, cast members Deepti Vempati and Kyle Abrams found “love” (or what they thought was love) while “dating” in the pods, but not with each other — and with disastrous results. Thankfully, they did come out of Love Is Blind with something far more valuable: a true friendship. And according to the newly-released reunion series Love Is Blind: After the Altar, that friendship slowly developed into a flirtation, and now has maybe possibly (hopefully) developed into more for the adorable reality TV people. But we’ll have to wait just a bit longer to find out.…

On Aug. 28, the “Nail Tech” singer took the stage alongside Lil Nas X to accept the best collaboration award for “Industry Baby.” While Lil Nas X looked like a walking work of art in his second look of the night — a maxi dress covered in silver cutouts — Harlow had his own moment in the spotlight with a suit so glossy, we could…

Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) — the transfer of lower intestinal fluids and microbes from one individual to another — is sometimes used to treat inflammatory gut diseases, including ulcerative colitis and bacterial infections.

We write about so much great television, both past and present. But even in that rarefied group of critically acclaimed and publicly loved series, we talk about some shows more, rewatch them more and, frankly, love them just a little bit more than the others. And one of those is M*A*S*H, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of its series premiere on September 17. M*A*S*H spent most of its run from the early 1970s to the early 1980s as a Top 10-rated sitcom, and it’s still the eighth most Emmy-nominated show ever. We fell in love with the characters, from the…

Smithsonian researchers have discovered a new extinct species of lizard-like reptile that belongs to the same ancient lineage as New Zealand’s living tuatara.

Photography courtesy of Patrick Salonga How Patrick Salonga transformed six pairs of jeans into a tasteful classic. By Annika Lautens Date August 17, 2022 Do you ever think about the past lives of thrift-store clothes? Toronto-based sustainable designer Patrick Salonga does. In fact, he’s slightly obsessed with them. “Denim is my favourite material to work with because it lasts forever and has so many stories attached to it,” he says over a video call. “In my mind, I’m like, ‘These jeans were owned by a mom’ or ‘A thug wore this jacket,’ and I love when you can tear pieces…

By the time I meet Sayaka Murata, on a recent afternoon in June, the back of my linen dress is damp. It’s an oppressively humid summer day in Tokyo, the sun hidden by a thick blanket of gray, and we’re taking a stroll at the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, a 116-year-old park that becomes dense with crowds during the sakura blossom. Today, visitors are sparse; it seems we’re the only ones foolish enough to be out at noon. Looking at Murata’s long, collared black dress and black tights, I feel even hotter, but she seems unaffected, apart from a gentle…

House Of The Dragon has gotten off to a great start with big ratings and strong reviews, but that doesn’t mean fans are happy with every part of the series. The thing is, the biggest criticism of the show doesn’t come from bad writing, weird casting, or stilted acting. Instead, it’s a more technical matter. During one of the scenes in the third episode, “Second Of His Name,” King Viserys’ hand looked a little … off.Generally, King Viserys is missing a few of his fingers. In this one shot though, you can see that actor Paddy Considine is wearing a green-screen glove on…

We thought the intricately plotted drama was grounded for good last year when NBC canceled it after three seasons. But when Netflix audiences got excited about the mystery of Montego Air Flight 828, which vanished for five and a half years only to return with passengers who hadn’t aged a day, the streamer brought back Manifest for a fourth and final round. Although the show was originally conceived to run for six seasons, “We’ve cut to the chase a little bit,” creator Jeff Rake says. “But nothing fell out of the mythology.” That means fans get answers sooner! Here’s where…

Bright, uniquely colored songbirds are at higher risk of extinction and more likely to be traded as pets, according to researchers reporting in Current Biology on September 15. The researchers also predict that almost 500 additional bird species, most of them living in the tropics, are at risk of future trade based on their unique and desirable coloration. “Aesthetic value is an important part of how people value nature,” said Rebecca Senior of Durham University, U.K. “However, there is potential for conflict when what motivates some people to protect certain species is the same thing that makes other people want…

I live for a new outfit — the thrill of taking a purchase out for a spin will never be lost on me. That being said, having the habits of a big-time shopper also comes with a big-time price tag.

The OnePlus Nord 2 (Review) was a big upgrade over its predecessor, the original Nord (Review). Some of the big changes included a switch to a MediaTek SoC from Qualcomm, an OIS-enabled main camera, and 65W charging, all of which were very notable improvements over the original. The new OnePlus Nord 2T 5G is a refresh of the Nord 2 and is the first Nord smartphone to receive the ‘T’ branding.OnePlus seems to have sprinkled a few upgrades in the new phone which doesn’t really change the game in any way, but may offer qualitative improvements in performance.
