Google Pixel Watch 3 was unveiled in August during the company’s Made By Google event. The Pixel Watch 4 is likely to break cover later this year alongside the next generation of Google Pixel smartphones. While the launch of the Pixel Watch 4 might be a few months away, a new design leak has given us some hints about what to expect from the new smartwatch from Google. These purported renders reveal the complete design of the Pixel Watch 4, which is seen to sport a round, familiar-looking design.Google Pixel Watch 4 Design (Expected)Tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks) leaked the 5K renders and…

Welcome to Today in Books, our daily round-up of literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more. Announcing The 2025 PEN America Literary Awards Finalists What an amazingly odd line-up of awards and finalists PEN offers up every year. In terms of adding things to my persona reading list, I think the PEN/E.O. Wilson finalists for literary science writing have the highest matriculation rate. But with dedicated categories for essays, debut fiction, and even poetry in translation, it has a wider range of literary-minded prizes than anything after. The PEN/Stein Award is probably the most prestigious (and…
The mammal brain is a complex network of billions of cells connected via trillions of nodes that neuroscientists have yet to tease apart. Now, researchers have mapped the many brain cells and connections in a portion of the mouse brain spanning just 1 cubic millimeter — roughly the size of a grain of sand.”A millimeter seems small, but within that millimeter there are kilometers of wiring,” Jacob Reimer, a neuroscientist at Baylor College of Medicine, told Live Science. Reimer is the senior author of one of 10 new studies in which scientists detailed how they constructed this remarkable brain map.Reimer…
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Your Friends & Neighbors Season 1, Episodes 1 & 2.] Your Friends & Neighbors sets up a boggling mystery in the show’s opening minutes as Jon Hamm‘s character, Andrew “Coop” Cooper, awakens on the floor to find himself lying next to an unidentified dead body. But who is the victim, and did Coop have something to do with it? While the questions rage on, it seems that viewers will have to wait for the storyline to catch up to “present day” as the action shifts to four months prior to the events depicted…
Growing up, you probably felt a little “fancy” when you wore a specific designer label. Polo pony or alligator, anyone? You likely got the same sense of fancy from certain foods you ate, whether they were special treats at home, or something you saw in another family’s house, or just spotted on TV and dreamed of eating.Marketing “Fancy”: “Pardon Me, Do You Have Any Grey Poupon?”Grey Poupon CommercialGrey Poupon CommercialFood companies did a great job at positioning food that was not fancy, to say the least, but the labels made them look fancy. Maybe the commercial showed “high-class” folks enjoying the food, or…
Elton John and Brandi Carlile’s Who Believes In Angels? has hit No. 1 in the Official Albums Chart, giving the former his 10th chart-topper in the U.K (April 11). The Andrew Watt-produced record was written and recorded by John and Carlile alongside John’s longtime songwriting partner Bernie Taupin. The collaborative record is Carlisle’s maiden No. 1 LP, and her first to reach the top 40. It now joins John’s classics Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only the Piano Player (1973), Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973) and Caribou (1973) as chart-toppers in his home country. His greatest hits collection Diamonds (2017) and…
In a time of great uncertainty about international trade, mattresses are one purchase you can make without losing sleep. Because they’re large and heavy, roll-packed bed-in-a-box mattresses are relatively expensive to ship. And because they shouldn’t be left compressed for too long, reputable makers try to avoid shipping them over the ocean. This means that even in this (possibly waning) era of international manufacturing, most mattresses are a domestic product.WIRED has a guide to the best mattress in the United States, made by sleep-testing hundreds of mattresses for a week each. We wanted to provide a similar story for our…
The Pain We Call Love by Joanne Sherry Mitchell Through raw honesty, humor and keen retrospection, Mitchell digs into her own life to reveal deeper universal truths. It’s been said that “To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving.” Truer words have never been spoken. This is the essence of Joanne Sherry Mitchell’s latest collection of contemporary poetry, The Pain We Call Love, in which Mitchell digs into the harsh realities of love. The Complexities of Love Love is complex. Not only does it take on many forms —…
Pelvis width may influence the risk of birth complications and back painCavan Images/Getty Images The width of a person’s hips seems to be a result of complex trade-offs between the evolution of larger brains and upright walking, according to the largest study of its kind to date. “If your brain is getting larger and larger over the same evolutionary time as your pelvis is getting narrower, this, of course, results in conflict,” says Vagheesh Narasimhan at the University of Texas at Austin. This idea, first proposed in the 1960s, is known as the obstetrical dilemma. More recently, it has been…
Critic’s Rating: 3.6 / 5.03.6What is it about the back half of this season of Grey’s Anatomy? It lacks pizazz or real excitement, and while Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 Episode 14 wasn’t the worst offering the season has had, it was just okay. The mentorships and friendships are making strides, but the relationships? Those are falling apart. (Disney/Mike Taing) Perhaps one of the hour’s issues was the lack of presence for some of the series’ robust cast. Some of the characters were utilized in unusual ways. The tension between Teddy and Ben remains bizarre, and his attempts to return to…

On Thursday (April 10), Jon Foreman joined Loudwire Nights to dive into Switchfoot’s latest song, “Last Man Standing,” which features guitar legend Buddy Guy.”I wrote most of the song thinking through what would I want to sing alongside Buddy Guy,” Foreman told Chuck Armstrong, host of Loudwire Nights. Listen to the full conversation in the player near the end of this article.”I wanted to write a song deserving of this man that had taught me how to play guitar when I was in junior high. ‘Last Man Standing’ is an homage to a true legend. It’s my attempt to say…
The White Lotus costume designer Alex Bovaird told me on the most recent episode of the Who What Wear Podcast that she’s a bit of a handbag freak. Getting to choose the designer bags the characters are going to wear each season has quickly become one of her favorite aspects of the show’s much-discussed costume design.She admits the number of bags these guests pack may seem a little over the top, but Mike White is ultimately creating his little world within the show. And in The White Lotus universe, everyone dresses all the way up for vacation. They have no…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Stuck With The Hot Boss? I’ve always loved the idea that a bit of magic is involved in bringing couples together, so I decided to write a series of books where a type of fairy godmother, Miss Lovelock, makes it easier for couples of overcome obstacles and find their happy ever after. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Stuck With The Hot Boss, what would they be? Evie’s theme song is: “Talk Me Out of Him” by Erin Gibney, and Leo’s theme song…
This burrowing owl was photographed at Markham Park in Broward County, FL. They can be found in various regions across the United States. They inhabit open prairie grasslands and can be found in many urban parks as well. Credit: Brittany Mason, UF/IFAS FLREC. Across the United States, more than 440 national parks and 7,400 urban parks offer a variety of recreational green spaces for people and pets. Yet, the United States Forest Service warns that urbanization, including park development, is reducing natural habitats for plants and animals, infringing on wildlife survival. How can urban parks continue to be vital havens…
Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple fell in love on Season 1 of The Golden Bachelorette and even got engaged at the final rose ceremony. However, unlike Season 1 The Golden Bachelor couple Theresa Nist and Gerry Turner, who divorced in April 2024, they didn’t rush down the aisle. However, Vassos and Chapple also made the surprising decision not to move in with each other after the show aired, leading many cynical viewers to wonder if there was any chance that they’d be able to actually make it work while maintaining a long-distance relationship.

Picking the best movie for every single letter of the alphabet: Contrary to the song, it’s not quite as easy as 1-2-3.After all, some letters are a lot more popular than others. Just take the letter G. You’ve got The Godfather, of course. (And The Godfather Part II, for that matter.) There’s Ghostbusters, that’s a total ’80s classic. Few recent movies are better than Get Out. And arguably the most powerful film in the history of motion pictures starts with the letter G: Gymkata. How do you pick just one? And that’s just one letter! On the other end of the spectrum, there ain’t a whole lot of movies…

Mark Zuckerberg’s well-timed acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, in 2012 and 2014 respectively, helped his social media empire reach billions of people.More than a decade later, the US Federal Trade Commission is targeting those deals in a landmark antitrust lawsuit set to go to trial Monday, alleging that the acquisitions were illegal, should never have been approved and should be broken up.The FTC argues that Meta’s purchases of Instagram and WhatsApp are “killer acquisitions” that prevented those companies from competing and it was a mistake to have allowed those deals years ago. To support its case, the FTC will argue…
The official trailer was just released for the Apple TV+ series adaptation of Martha Wells’s bestselling, award-winning book series, The Murderbot Diaries. In the trailer, we watch as the eponymous sec unit (or “security unit”), which has named itself Murderbot, is hired for security detail by a crew of scientists. Eventually, it’s discovered to have hijacked its own system and gone “rogue.” Going rogue essentially means that it, as a security/killing cyborg, has free will as opposed to being controlled. And it, naturally, uses this free will to watch hours upon hours of “content,” which includes space soap operas like…
On Saturday, April 12, look east at dusk to see the next full moon rise into the sky: the “Pink Moon”.April’s full moon — the first of spring in the Northern Hemisphere — occurs as Earth gets between the sun and moon. Our natural satellite will be 100% illuminated at 8:22 p.m. EDT on April 12, rising in the east during dusk, shining all night before setting in the west at dawn. If you miss that event, the moon will also appear bright and full on Friday and Sunday.Although you may think it’s fine to just look at any phase…
Nothing can get me through Hump Day quite like knowing One Chicago is waiting for me by the end of the night. However, while I tune into all of the series, typically, it’s easy to prioritize Chicago Fire and Chicago PD ahead over Chicago Med. Watching the latter is more a form of habit while awaiting the real action. It’s never been a bad series; it’s just always fallen to third place — an appetizer ahead of the main courses if you will. (George Burns, Jr/NBC) But Chicago Med is having one of its best seasons thus far—so much so…

Nothing signals warm weather season quite like linen fashion. It doesn’t matter if it’s a flowy dress or skirt or a crisp linen button-down. There’s no better sign to start wearing to wear the lightweight breezy material than sunnier and sunnier days. If you haven’t hopped on the linen train yet for 2025, then you’ve come to the right place. As a fashion person and warm-weather enthusiast, I’ve been so excited to grab a few new linen pieces myself. I’ve dug through the depths of the online retail world and found some seriously beautiful linen clothing worth snatching up ASAP.…
Louise Matsakis: Yes, that is an absolutely beautiful quote that I really want to put on a hat or a T-shirt or a bumper sticker. Just an absolutely incredible picture that Secretary Lutnick is painting there. There’s two basic camps within the Trump administration here, and I think that that’s part of why you’re seeing this confusion because these two camps are sort of warring with one another. They’re both going on TV. So in one camp is the Art of the Deal crowd. Let’s call them that. The Art of the Deal people say Trump is the ultimate negotiator.…
Stepping onto the scene as a why-choose romance author, I’ve been met with all sorts of generalizations and inquires like: “Why-choose romance is all spice and no plot, right?” or “When there’s more than one love interest, there’s no time to develop real connections between the characters” or “Why-choose romances are too niche and there’s no place for them in the mainstream market.” After discussing these topics at length, I can confidently say I respectfully disagree with all the above sentiments. Of course, every reader is entitled to their opinion and should read what they love, but if you’ve ever…
Allison Bailey/NurPhoto/Shutterstock What does science get us? That’s always the question from those who fund it, but not from those who do it. This tension is in full swing in the US right now, as the Trump administration takes a hacksaw to the scientific ecosystem. But it isn’t new. In 1969, as Robert Wilson was testifying before the US Congress to get funding for a new particle collider at Fermilab, he spoke on the topic. The senators were grilling him on how this scientific endeavour would contribute to national defence or help compete with Russia during the cold war. He…
Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 5 is almost here, and Stabler’s (Christopher Meloni) going to be in some serious danger. The drama will premiere on Peacock with the first two episodes on April 17 (so still airing on Thursdays), with new episodes streaming weekly. (The first will also air on NBC that night, in its old time slot of 10/9c.) The season will consist of 10 episodes. The streaming service has also released a trailers, photos, and key art. The previously released trailer begins with Stabler in confession. “I have promised people that I would save them, but I…
