There is a long and proud tradition of the Jackass dudes shooting way more footage than they need for each of their movies, then winnowing it down to just the best of the best stunts for release in theaters. Then with the leftover footage they typically create at least one more bonus movie — each dubbed Jackass 1.5, Jackass 2.5, and so on — that lives on home video.True to form, the sublimely entertaining Jackass Forever has now begat a second film, called Jackass 4.5. Rather than theaters, this movie is going straight to Netflix next month. In announcing the film, Netflix noted that Jackass 4.5 contains “the whole crew”…

Five years ago, if I read one nonfiction book in a year it was a miracle. These days, I can’t get enough. I read it all: memoir, history, essay collections, weird hybrid nonfiction that doesn’t fit into neat categories, politics, science and nature books, biographies. I credit this shift in my reading to two things: audiobooks and comics. When I started reading in different formats, whole new worlds of books opened up to me. I…

These days, it’s pretty much impossible to think of comics without thinking of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), which seems to break its own world box office records with every new entry. But there was a time — and it wasn’t that long ago — when it looked like there might never be a Marvel movie. And even now, there is some confusion, with Marvel movies like Morbius and Madame Web coming out starring Marvel characters, but unconnected to the MCU. I can…

Many of us will be all too familiar with muscle knots. They’re essentially sore spots that form when bands of muscle become tight and sensitive. You may experience pain all the time or only when you touch the knot. If you sit hunched at a desk most of the day or tend to overdo your training then you’ll be more prone to muscle knots. The good news is there are ways to alleviate tight muscle knots. Stretching, gentle movement and massage can all provide pain relief. The best massage guns are a convenient way to encourage your muscles to relax without…
Probably the most classic short hairstyle, a bob is a one-length cut that typically sits around jaw level. Although, it can be as short as ear length and as long as just above the shoulder. It’s a great place to start if you’re venturing into short hair for the first time. “There are so many bob variations with a style to suit everyone’s face shape,” said Barton. “Round faces should try to opt for a long bob that goes past the chin, [which is] also great for heart-shaped faces as well as heavy, chin-length bobs, which can balance out the face…
my book, presciently titled The Plague of the Tender Hearted, came out last year, and its cover depicts a childhood portrait my father painted of me, from my parents’ library. The book centers around the suicide of my youngest brother—a topic some members of our family don’t like to discuss. Recently, I was stunned to discover my book being sold online at Target and Walmart, with that very portrait coming up readily.I always thought that writing poetry offered some measure of privacy, since the audience was small. So eager have I been to educate people about addiction, suicide awareness, and…

“You don ’t look autistic.” This is what people say when I first tell them I ’m on the spectrum. But I do look autistic. The problem is that people, especially medical professionals, don ’t know what to look for when it comes to identifying and diagnosing autism in women and girls. I am a professor, a screenwriter, producer, mother and a woman who has autism. The challenges I have had in getting my diagnosis lead me to believe that we have to develop a more accurate standard autism test and better diagnostic criteria specifically for women and girls.

Photography courtesy of Getty Images The retailer’s controversial past is the subject of a new Netflix documentary. By Natalie Michie Date April 7, 2022 In grade school, my sense of style was entirely based on my desire to fit in. Back then, that meant wearing Ugg boots, skinny jeans and a t-shirt emblazoned with the name of a tween-approved brand. And if I was lucky, that brand would be Abercrombie & Fitch. Entering an Abercrombie & Fitch store in 2010 was an attack on all your senses. First, you had to go past the half-naked models that sometimes guarded its…

A new discovery by physicists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) could make certain components in computers and smartphones obsolete. The team has succeeded in directly converting frequencies to higher ranges in a common magnetic material without the need for additional components. Frequency multiplication is a fundamental process in modern electronics. The team reports on its research in the latest issue of Science. Digital technologies and devices are already responsible for about ten percent of global electricity consumption, and the trend is rising sharply. “It is therefore necessary to develop more efficient components for information processing,” says Professor Georg Woltersdorf,…
Our hair has been through a lot in recent years. With the two-year anniversary of the first wave of salon closures, it’s fair to say our strands have been subjected to their fair share of damage. But this year, the hairscape is looking optimistically different.For starters, appointment availability is aplenty, and it finally feels as though our hair routine (for the most part) is back to normal. While 2020 was spent trying to make our pre-lockdown cut last as long as possible, 2021 consisted of trying to get our strands fighting fit after all of the neglect. Now, with 2022 in full swing, we feel…
