Season finales are tricky to pull off, but one thing that has become clear after watching many bad ones is that no one needs huge cliffhangers or shocking deaths. Heartstopper’s allure has always been that even when things are bad, there is always the possibility of life getting better, and they always do in this world. Heartstopper Season 2 Episode 8 delivered on all its promises as the kids went to prom, Charlie and Nick hand-in-hand as boyfriends. It resolved some of the hanging storylines but hinted at the direction Heartstopper Season 3 might take. But first, on Instagram, Nicholas Nelson…

As a reader I want a deeply flawed love interest. A relationship that’s doomed from the start. My first taste of the deeply flawed love interest was the Byronic hero. I learned about him in the classroom. I saw him in the many TV adaptations of English classics that occupied my youth. He was brooding, aloof, misunderstood. The misunderstood part was key, it meant his despicable behavior was easily forgiven. These doomed affairs were romanticized, held up as examples of great love, something to aspire to (note: I attended an all-girls school so the bar was very low/debatable whether such…

You know what they say about guys with small heads, right?They have great taste in articles about the best hat for small heads. That’s what they say. Probably. Maybe. Either way, this is one such list. You see, us wee-headed gentlemen can’t pull off just any hat. The best fit for us will almost always be achieved by hats with a diameter between 21- and 22-inches. Most one-size-fits-all lids are capable of cinching to your head’s sweet spot but you’ll still want to check the brand’s size guide to confirm. With the exception of one low-profile beanie, I’ve mostly stuck…
There’s no stopping Warner Bros. Barbie as sources tell us the Greta Gerwig movie has a shot at hitting the billion mark this Sunday worldwide, if not Monday. Stateside she’s eyeing a third weekend around $55M, -41%, give or take, and she’ll cross the $400M stateside mark by Thursday, her 15th day of release. That’s faster than The Super Mario Bros Movie and Top Gun: Maverick, which took 18 days to hit that domestic B.O. benchmark. Those pics finaled their stateside results respectively at $574.1M and $718.7M. Where does the Mattel doll stop her trail? Somewhere around $600M U.S. Through yesterday, Barbie…

There has never been Trek like Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 Episode 9, and there may never be again, which would be a galactic shame. Ever since Paramount+ released the news at San Diego Comic-Con 2023 that the penultimate offering of the season would be a musical, the fanbase has been split between the canonical stick-in-the-warp-core gatekeepers and those who embrace all that Trek can be. Haters can just jettison their vitriol now. This is the biggest swing the series — nay, the franchise — has ever taken, and they blast it so far out there they probably…
In their debut poetry collection I Am the Most Dangerous Thing, Candace Williams collages identity, political and economics matters to investigate the risks and joys of being Black, female and queer in a society where individuals and institutions are too often focused on their destruction. The seriousness of such topics belies the array of poetic forms and subjects, and especially, the many moments of beauty, and humor juxtaposed and layered to great effect. Consider this excerpt from “Memo”: “Due to unforeseen circumstancesI am forced to lay off 20% of my friendseffective immediately.” This levity belies a deeper reflection on the…

A visualization of spatial modulations in the superconducting pairing potential of UTe2, a recently-discovered topological superconductor. (Courtesy: Nature 618, 921–927 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-05919-7) Researchers in the US, UK and Ireland have identified a new crystalline superconducting state in uranium ditelluride (UTe2). The existence of this state challenges the conventional picture of superconductivity and could have implications for the development of quantum computers. “Physicists have been searching for a material like this for more than 60 years,†says team leader Shuqiu Wang, a condensed-matter physicist and postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford, UK. Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity without any…

Not streaming, nor strikes, nor shell shock from the pandemic kept this July’s domestic box office down with studio tentpoles and a faith-based surprise movie racking up the second-best record for the month with $1.37 billion per Comscore. Warner Bros’ Barbie and Universal’s Oppenheimer were the No. 1 and 2 movies with $366.4M and $181.4M respectively. The record July still belongs to 2011 which cashed in $1.39 billion. Get this, Warners also led that month as well with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 which made $318.5M of its $381M gross during July back then. This July…
WASHINGTON — The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity selected four vendors to develop technologies and new approaches for tracking small debris objects in space.
