As a recent convert to The Pitt, I’m not deeply entrenched in the fandom yet, but every slight exposure I get to the community raving about HBO Max’s medical drama makes me think it’s a show better enjoyed without talking to another living soul about it. More often than not, fandom drama and parasocial weirdness stays sequestered in the corners of the internet, but every so often it reaches the real world, and it feels like some people lose all sense of decorum and manners when their favorite character’s actor is in the room with them and not protected by…
The statement, while true to a point, ignores the fact that food costs are set to increase this year by almost 3 percent and that a diet rich in animal protein, which is featured prominently in the administration’s new inverted food pyramid, is getting more expensive. The US Department of Agriculture estimates that beef and veal prices were more than 12 percent higher in March than in March 2025, while poultry prices were up 1.5 percent over the same time period. Fresh vegetable prices, meanwhile, were 7.5 percent higher in March compared to a year earlier.Irvine says a main barrier…

Lavish clothes worn by royalty and clergy in medieval Christian Nubia have been re-created based on 1,200-year-old murals of these elite people painted in a cathedral.These costumes were made using only fabrics and dyes that were available in medieval, northeastern Africa; Nubia was located in what are now parts of Egypt and Sudan. The clothing then donned by models and presented in performances that brought onlookers to tears.The live portrayals of these elite individuals — two kings, two royal mothers and one bishop — are a “powerful means of communication,” Karel Innemée, an archaeologist at the University of Warsaw who…
When you think of Star Wars, you think of lightsabers. Right? What could be better, from a movie-making standpoint, than a futuristic sword that lets you create awesome fencing duels like in old-time Errol Flynn swashbucklers. (So much better than watching Stormtroopers fire their blasters into walls and ceilings and anything else except their targets.)Lightsabers come in a cosmic rainbow of hues (color-coded blue or green for good guys, red for bad) and a variety of shapes. There’s even a double-bladed version in Phantom Menace. (I don’t want to start a nerd fight—yet—but the best lightsaber battle in the canon…
Since the early days of WordPress, Contact Form 7 has been helping website owners add simple forms to their sites. If you’ve trusted it on your own site, then you made a perfectly reasonable choice that millions of other site owners have made, too. But things have officially changed. At WordCamp Asia 2026, Contact Form 7 creator Takayuki Miyoshi confirmed on stage that the plugin will no longer receive new feature updates after version 6.2. Miyoshi’s focus is shifting to a separate project called Contactable.io, which is currently targeted for 2028. Your existing forms aren’t going to break overnight, but…

“Do you think about me?”So asks a disembodied voice at the beginning of a TikTok from user @velvet.mind. The question is followed by hypnotic synth pulses, hissing static, and sped-up, garbled human speech. An accompanying visual: a montage of immaculately made-up and stylish women who could all be models—indeed, some of them probably are. The text overlaid on the video reads “extreme beauty subliminal.”The minute-long clip has nearly 300,000 likes and 1.4 million views. Why all this engagement for a bit of vaporwave ephemera? Because an online community of young women sincerely believe that sustained exposure to these sounds and…
Ask just about anyone what’s wrong with modern dating and they will likely tell you the same thing: The apps suck. They’re built on a pay-to-win model. Fewer people are finding quality partners. Some studies have even suggested that increased time on them leads to higher depression and anxiety while also contributing to loneliness among men. All told, the pursuit of finding love through a swipe has created a generation of burned out, sexless singles distrustful of dating apps.But the dating apps aren’t the only problem—at least not the main one anymore. According to recent research, the cost of dating…

I’m thinking about turning eBay into something worth hundreds of billions of dollars,” he…
