Pussy Riot’s Masha Alyokhina has fled Russia amid President Vladimir V. Putin’s war on Ukraine and crackdown on dissidents. In the past year, Alyokhina was jailed multiple times for short stints—attempts to stifle her activism when she was arrested, for example, at an anti-Putin rally. In April, when authorities announced that her house arrest would turn into 21 days in a penal colony, she decided to exit the country. A new report from The New York Times outlines the punk activist’s efforts to evade Russian authorities and find her way across the border.Alyokhina had been staying at a friend’s apartment…

Stewart says public interest in spiders and scorpions has exploded as people realize they are actually low-maintenance pets that don’t need walking three times a day and can be kept in apartments or small homes without a backyard. “They’re fascinating creatures, and they’re beautiful,” says Stewart, who has been collecting them for the past 20 years.That said, he agrees that international spider trading can be a problem because unethical collectors can decimate wild populations. “We don’t just like tarantulas because they look cool,” Stewart says. “We’re more fascinated by them and want to preserve them in the wild, so you…

Quentin Tarantino is finally making a foray into published criticism. After a long career in film, this seems like a good move. Tarantino famously said he was going to be done directing films after ten movies. His reasons for that vary, from the fact that it’s a nice round number to the fact that he just wants to make ten great films and then get out.He has a great track record so far, but he’s definitely nearing that ten film count. Maybe this is his way of pivoting over to a new field. Tarantino also famously said he “didn’t go to film school, he went to…
Scientists recently discovered something about male mice that’s utterly bananas: The distinctive scent of a banana stresses them out.Researchers from McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, learned about this unusual fruit aversion while analyzing spiking stress hormones in male mice when the males were close to pregnant or lactating females. The scientists reported in a new study that the males’ hormonal shifts were triggered by the presence of a compound called n-pentyl acetate in the females’ urine. It also happens to be the compound that gives bananas their distinctive smell.”The whole thing came as a surprise, since we were not looking…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Psycho Electric? For about ten years I’ve been daydreaming about, researching, and scheming to put this book together. After talking to a couple of friends who are in the medical and software development fields about the pieces I was missing, I got to work. Shortly after that, my Patreon Subscribers got to see the rough draft as I wrote it because I serialized it there. Most of their comments improved the manuscript in a couple of ways. A few edits later, and here we are! If you had to…
When Sex and the City was revived on HBO Max, And Just Like That… featured only three of the four women who were part of the original series. Samantha’s (Kim Cattrall) absence was addressed in the premiere, but until now, it hasn’t truly been addressed by those still working on the franchise. Sarah Jessica Parker, who stars as Carrie and is also an executive producer on the revival, spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about the decision to not have Samantha be part of the new series. After a third movie (following the ones in 2008 and 2010) did not happen…

By Katrina McGaughey Date May 10, 2022 Harry Styles is busier than ever. Between his new acting career, touring, gigs headlining Coachella and the launch of his beauty brand, Pleasing, it’s not surprising that the “Watermelon Sugar” singer took a brief hiatus from putting out new music.

Over the last decade and a half, Bring Me the Horizon have cemented themselves as a household name within the heavy music community, but they weren’t always so well-respected. Oli Sykes recalled that when the band was first gaining popularity, they were portrayed “as a Motley Crue-esque bunch of fucking dickheads.”The discussion came up in a reflective interview with Kerrang!, where Sykes explained that BMTH were depicted negatively by the media — even though he felt they didn’t deserve such a regard.“Our band was kind of branded as a Mötley Crüe-esque bunch of fucking dickheads,” the frontman declared. “One of the first interviews I…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write A Little Blues Story from the Jersey Shore? I was inspired by anecdotal experiences from my life I wanted to share, but I didn’t want to write a memoir or to write a nonfiction account of them in any genre. I chose to use them for inspiration only and create fictional stories in their spirit. Unsurprisingly, I am able to identify with the stories in my novel, but I hope other people will be able to do the same. If you had to pick theme songs for the main…

The viral term, coined by TikToker Lex Nicoleta, describes the coastal grandmother aesthetic as, “If you love Nancy Meyers movies, coastal vibes, recipes and cooking, Ina Garten, cozy interiors, and more, there’s a good chance you might be a coastal grandmother.” The sartorial result? A neutral lover’s paradise.

TV can be a tricky business — one day you’re preparing for a season finale episode, and the next the episode becomes the series finale when the show gets canceled. That is exactly the case with CBS’ United States of Al, which received the ax from CBS just one week out from its season-ender. The comedy, which premiered in April 2021 as a midseason replacement, centers on combat veteran Riley (Parker Young) and the interpreter he’d befriended in Afghanistan, Awalmir (aka Al, played by Adhir Kalyan), whom he welcomes into his family’s Ohio home, with much of the humor coming…

Ever since 2017’s Colossal came out, I’ve been trying to find people to share it with. I’ve run into a wall. The people for whom the story might resonate are the ones most uncomfortable with watching it. And the people who would get the most out of internalizing its message about the destructive nature of toxic masculinity are the ones completely dumbfounded by what it has to say. Few are in a place to really benefit from it.Men seems doomed to suffer a similar fate.The film, written and directed by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation), is a horror movie that,…
