We’ve all been there. But sometimes you want something a little different, something more challenging. Something that will, perhaps, remind you that things could be a lot worse.We’re talking, of course, about the really dark entertainment to be found on the platform. Plenty of streamers have their share of…

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been sentenced to 50 months in prison and pay a fine of $500,000, the maximum possible, after being found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. (That sentence adds up to just over four years, but the 14 months he has already served in prison will be deducted.) Today in Manhattan’s Federal District Court, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian outlined his reasoning behind the substantial length, citing the need “to send a message to abusers and victims alike that exploitation and violence against women is met with real accountability.”“The Court has to consider…

To the sound of a 61-piece children’s orchestra (the entirety of which was dressed in dramatically oversized Maison Margiela tuxedos) playing perfectly imperfect renditions of Symphony No. 40 and Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, Glenn Martens debuted his first co-ed ready-to-wear collection for the Belgian fashion house during Paris Fashion Week. The presentation arrived just three months after the former Diesel creative director showcased his inaugural Artisanal (otherwise referred to as haute couture) collection for Margiela back in July. That collection wasn’t for the faint of heart, though at a brand like this one, it was never supposed to be immediately digestible.…

Compare Our PicksRecommended With ReservationsPhotograph: Lisa Wood ShapiroCarepod Mini for $150: When turned on, the Carepod Mini looks like a Brita Filter that’s also an electric tea kettle. And you’ll think this too because of the Carepod’s unique oscillator that moves the water around inside the clear plastic tank. And unlike the larger stainless steel parts of the larger Carepod models, the Carepod Mini is not dishwasher safe. However, like all Carepod models, the Mini doesn’t have a filter because Carepod recommends using filtered water, putting the water-purifying duties on the user. I would prefer a model with a filter…

An asymmetry in the average temperature of the cosmic microwave background doesn’t match the standard model of cosmologyESA/Planck Collaboration An anomaly in the temperature of the universe has long stumped physicists, and a new analysis of data from several radio telescopes has only deepened the mystery of what is causing it. This weird streak is seen in the afterglow of the big bang – the radiation that has been traveling towards us since the beginning of time, called the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Physicists agree our view of the universe, or position within it, shouldn’t be in any way exceptional,…

An ambitious college football player finds himself drawn into a cult in Justin Tipping’s sports horror. Justin Tipping’s Him wants to be a lot of things at once: a horror film about ambition; a study of sports hero worship; and a nightmarish meditation on what brain and body trauma does to the self. It doesn’t always manage the balancing act, but when it clicks it’s because of two forces. The first is Marlon Wayans, whose range has been criminally underutilised since Requiem For A Dream, and the second is Kira Kelly’s kinetic cinematography that makes every frame feel like a concussion…

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, long considered the nation’s — if not the world’s — premier public health organization, is mired in a crisis that not only threatens Americans’ health but also its very survival as a leading public health institution.The degree of this crisis was on full display during Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Sept. 4, 2025, testimony before the U.S. Senate.In the hearing, Kennedy openly criticized CDC professionals’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic, saying “the people at CDC who oversaw that process, who put masks on our children, who closed our schools,…

Our happiness levels are not constant throughout our livesIppei & Janine Photography/Getty Images The commonly held belief that happiness follows a U-shaped curve – with peaks at the beginning and end of life – might be incorrect. The pattern was popularised in a seminal paper by researchers David Blanchflower and Andrew Oswald in 2008, based on data from half a million people. Since then, it has been held as a common belief and has even been the subject of mainstream books. But Fabian Kratz and Josef Brüderl – both at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in Germany – posit…

Of course there have been inevitable (and not entirely unfair) jokes about The Rock running for an Oscar since The Smashing Machine was announced, but Safdie and Johnson certainly make a compelling case for it. While even a wig and some prosthetics can’t hide his incredibly recognisable visage, there’s a delicateness and vulnerability Johnson brings to the role as well as obvious physical command that combine into a mesmerising and empathetic character study. He understands Kerr – undoubtedly because he was a part of the wrestling world long before he was an actor – and watching how deftly he delivers this performance, it’s a shame Johnson…
