[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for S.W.A.T. Season 7 Episode 6 “Escape.”] S.W.A.T. lures us into a false sense of security with the latest episode. We know it’s Kenny Johnson‘s penultimate one as Luca, and so we expected it to, in addition to welcoming him back, potentially set up his exit. Well, let’s just say that we’re so focused on how it teases another character leaving S.W.A.T. that we just aren’t expecting there to even be another scene! Luca’s home from London and counterterrorism training and eager to get back to work. From the airport, he “wanted to head straight…

In a tony suburban enclave in the San Diego foothills, police say, an organized retail crime “queenpin” had built an empire.Tucked behind the stone walls of her 4,500-square-foot Spanish-style mansion, Michelle Mack had stockpiled a small fortune in cosmetics that had been stolen from Ulta and Sephora stores across the country, authorities said. Police don’t suspect that Mack, 53, took the items herself. Instead, they say, she pulled the strings from the shadows, employing a network of around a dozen women who stole the items for her so she could resell them on Amazon.Michelle Mack’s home in Bonsall, California, Dec. 6,…

Gilles Marini stars with Brooke D’Orsay in Crimes of Fashion: Killer Clutch, a delightful movie filmed on location in France that uses location and fashion as key characters. Marini is OK with that, as the Frenchman who came to America to act was thrilled to be whisked back to his home country to do what he loves. This is Marini’s first time with Hallmark, but it certainly won’t be his last. If ever there was a leading man who fit beautifully into the Hallmark world, Marini is that man. The movie focuses on D’Orsay’s Lauren, a…

Is an identity crisis just par for the course as human beings? Does it happen to everybody? I wondered this to myself as a friend told me that her brother-in-law had decided, in his late thirties, to hit the pause button on his life. He was going to Bali for two months, she said, to “find himself.” This was shocking not in the least because he had a family he would be leaving behind in order to go off and conduct this search, but also, because he wasn’t entirely clear about whether he would be coming back. A search for…

Real leather is always worth the extra investment, especially when it comes to a quality pair of boots, but it needs maintenance in order to last longer. Without the best leather conditioners for boots, you’re essentially throwing money down the drain as the leather cracks and fades. I must say, conditioning my boots has turned into a bit of a hobby. I enjoy the ritual of cleaning my boots, brushing them down, applying the cream or oil, and letting them dry back into the gorgeous, supple state I found them in. The entire process doesn’t take longer than twenty minutes,…

Remember when Paramount+ was CBS All Access (first launched in 2014)? Well, since the rebrand in 2021, the streaming service has only grown—and keeps doing so! Where else will you find not one or two but multiple (and more still to come!) new Star Trek series, starting with Discovery and bringing back an icon in Picard? Or Taylor Sheridan shows beyond Yellowstone, both in and out of that world? There are even a couple of CBS shows that made the move over to become Paramount+ originals in recent years, like Evil and SEAL Team. And while there are more than a few on…

Landforms called yardangs can form on Earth – and they might also be present on Saturn’s moon TitanMa Mingyan/China News Service/VCG via Getty Images Saturn’s moon Titan may have strange features called yardangs all over its polar regions. Yardangs are long, perfectly straight ridges that form when erosion wears away strips of soft ground, and they could help us understand Titan’s complex geology. Titan’s upper latitudes are home to hundreds of strange lines that planetary scientists have named bright linear features. Those could be either sand dunes, which astronomers have already observed near… Read the original article here
