First, Russia aims to control its internet infrastructure, owning internet cables going through its territory and connecting it to the rest of the world. Second, the country puts “pressure” on websites and internet companies such as tech giant Yandex and Facebook alternative VKontakte to censor content. Third, Shakirov says, is its media crackdown—banning independent media organizations and adopting the aforementioned “foreign agents” law. This is followed by forcing people to self-censor what they say online and restricting protest.Finally, Shakirov says, there is the “restriction of access to information”—blocking websites. The legal ability to block websites was implemented through the adoption…

While appearing along with guitarist Frank Hannon on SiriusXM’s Hair Nation with host Tommy London, Wheat shared that he once got his privates stuck in his zipper during a concert.How exactly did that happen?

The villain of the first Black Panther, Erik Killmonger (played by Michael B. Jordan), definitely died in the first movie. But what does death even mean at Marvel at this point? Professor X died in Logan and he showed up in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. How many times has Loki died only to be resurrected? It’s a lot.With the death of the great Chadwick Boseman, that leaves a major hole to fill at the center of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever — and that’s why we think a resurrected Killmonger could be one of the characters to do that. In our latest Black Panther video,…

Testosterone supplements are often marketed as an easy way to boost testosterone levels, increase your sex drive, improve sexual performance and help with building muscle. These claims may sound impressive, but in many cases there isn’t enough scientific evidence to support them. So do testosterone supplements really work? And, if so, which ones are the most effective? Testosterone is the main male sex hormone responsible for the development of characteristics people typically associate with masculinity, such as facial hair and a deeper voice. It’s much more than that, though. “Testosterone is important for a range of body functions,” says (opens in new…
(Image credit: Gilead)It has been more than 40 years since the first reported cases of HIV, and tremendous progress has been made toward ending the epidemic, including advances in HIV treatment that allow for longer and healthier lives.

It seems the dreaded “skimpflation” is even making its way over to your beloved streaming services. Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ are all seeing price hikes. Streaming services raising their prices and being modified to include new tiers is nothing new, but people really aren’t too excited about this one. Before, Disney+ was a flat rate of $7.99. Now, that structure is changing.Hulu might be one of the worst offenders out of any streaming service. Upon launch, it merely followed an ad-supported model. Shortly thereafter, it became a subscription-based service. After that, it split itself into tiers, including a cheaper ad-supported…

Getting a better handle on the prevalence of ship tracks has a two-fold utility. For one, the clouds betray a ship’s emissions: A captain might lie to regulators about what kind of fuel they’re burning, but the sky above won’t. “If we can measure individual ship tracks, and we can attach that ship track to an individual ship, then we can know if a ship is emitting a lot of pollution,” says Yuan. “Then we know that probably it’s not burning clean fuel.”And two, pollution plays a large—and largely understudied—role in climate change. Ship emissions are terrible for the environment…

I tried to capture the contradictions that comprise my past and define who I…
Since the inception of streaming movies, Netflix has been the industry leader. They essentially popularized the concept when they transitioned their DVD by mail business to stream movies directly to customers’ homes. And since that move began in 2007, they’ve been number one. To some, the word “Netflix” is almost synonymous with streaming, the same way people interchangeably use “tissues” and “Kleenex.”But the competition for subscriptions has grown fiercer and fiercer in recent years, with many new services all fighting for the same customers, including Amazon’s Prime Video, Peacock, Paramount+, and Disney. And when Disney announced its quarterly earnings results to its…

If it’s wrong for a 34-year-old woman to like watching teen movies, then I don’t want to be right. The same goes for loving YA books as well. Some people might call it living in the past.

And I will immerse myself in movies like Clueless and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and Twilight and Love, Simon any day of the week.…
Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin has been a breath of fresh air. The latest entry in the iconic franchise took us on a wild ride as a serial killer stalked the liars at every turn. Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin Season 1 wrapped with an unnerving, exciting, and revealing finale. While it was filled with action, one key aspect was almost very different.

The girls decided against harming them, but that wasn’t the original plan…
Scientists had long wondered how woodpeckers can repeatedly pound their beaks against tree trunks without doing damage to their brains. This led to the notion that their skulls must act like shock-absorbing helmets. Now, researchers reporting in the journal Current Biology on July 14 have refuted this notion, saying that their heads act more like stiff hammers. In fact, their calculations show that any shock absorbance would hinder the woodpeckers’ pecking abilities. “By analyzing high-speed videos of three species of woodpeckers, we found that woodpeckers do not absorb the shock of the impact with the tree,” says Sam Van Wassenbergh…
