Across 30-plus years of existence, the four-headed plasma ball of Converge have continuously elevated the metalcore genre to altitude-sickness levels. It’s important to acknowledge that the band has never betrayed their audience. The acclaimed collaboration with the opaque Chelsea Wolfe (2021’s Bloodmoon 1) had them accessing new listeners in a whole new context, but don’t

CORTINA D’AMPEZZO – Both sides in the Canada-Sweden curling melodrama held firm to their beliefs Saturday at Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium. It was a story so engulfing that it essentially left Brad Jacobs’ first defeat of the Winter Games lost in the shuffle. Switzerland’s Yannick Schwaller defeated Canada 9-5 in a clinical victory over a
The Berlin Film Festival has issued a lengthy statement “in defense of our filmmakers, and especially our jury and jury President”, following what it describes as a “media storm that has swept over the Berlinale” in its first two days. The communiqué comes in response to criticism levelled at the jury, in particular President Wim
Shortly after the FBI increased the reward and provided new details about the masked suspect in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping, law enforcement caught a supposed lead. On Friday night, Pima County Sheriff’s Department announced that “law enforcement activity is underway” in relation to the Guthrie case, at a residence near E Orange Grove Rd and
“Passion, love, sex, money…” The Pet Shop Boys’ 1986 hit “Paninaro” acts as an unofficial manifesto for Rosebush Pruning, an outrageous pansexual pantomime so out-there that “What the actual f*ck?” doesn’t even begin to cover it. Co-scripted by Efthimis Filippou — a pioneer of the Greek “Weird Wave” with his regular collaborator Yorgos Lanthimos —
It shouldn’t be controversial to say that Wuthering Heights is not that hard a book to get through. But, this is a hill (or, perhaps, a moor) I am willing to die on — because the number of people openly struggling to get through it is… concerning to say the least. Recently, my FYP has
Casey Wasserman has announced plans to sell his talent agency, the Wasserman Group, after an increasing number of clients began cutting ties following his name’s appearance in the latest batch of Epstein-related documents. “At this moment, I believe that I have become a distraction,” Wasserman wrote in a memo sent to his company late Friday

Romance comes in many forms, as illustrated by the scene when Jutta Leerdam broke an Olympic record and took home the gold medal in the women’s 1,000-meter speed skating event. Leedam’s boyfriend, controversial conservative influencer Jake Paul, appeared to cry frantically as he watched her performance. How beautiful to see such an open expression of

WARNING: You may wanna read this post with the lights on. In honor of today being Friday the 13th (scared yet?!?). We’ve compiled a list of the 13 most terrifying TV shows of the last 25 years (now you’re scared, right?!?). (Chris Reardon/MGM+) The following listicle covers programs that lasted multiple seasons and some that
Simone Biles made a surprise appearance at the 2026 Winter Olympics! The 28-year-old Olympic gymnast attended the Milano-Cortina Games with her husband Jonathan Owens to cheer on the men’s single figure skating event on Friday (February 13). Simone and the Chicago Bears player were spotted sitting in the crowd. She did eventually get a chance
But the one supermarket fashion line that’s really impressed me (and the rest of the internet) is George at Asda. Their latest drop features a range of fashion-forward pieces – from the viral printed puffer to the ridiculously chic brown suede bomber, both £38, and the Déhanche-style belt for £10 – that look way more high-end
Johnny Blue Skies, the current nom de plume of the singer formerly known as Sturgill Simpson, is eyeing a March 13 release for his second studio album and first with his band the Dark Clouds, Mutiny After Midnight.

Welcome to Today in Books, our daily round-up of literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more. The Friday before a holiday weekend is always pretty slow, so I am clearing out the pantry with a bunch of links that are nearing their expiration date and we really shouldn’t be wasteful and
This is what dreams are made of — Hilary Duff is headed on a world tour that will include Canadian stops in nine cities. The Lucky Me tour, which marks Duff’s first full-scale global headline run in almost two decades, will span seven countries, with dates across Canada, the U.S., Mexico, the U.K., Ireland, Australia
UPDATE: The Berlinale has responded to Roy’s cancellation with a spokesperson telling Deadline: “The Berlinale respects this decision. We regret that we will not welcome Arundhati Roy as her presence would have enriched the festival discourse.” PREVIOUS: Booker Prize-winning author Arundhati Roy says she has canceled her planned attendance at this week’s Berlin Film Festival due to comments made at
This cosmos is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. Among other things, it is replete with immaterial forces that have power over material things. Yes, immaterial forces. Forces you and I can’t see. What in the world do I mean? At the very birth of the universe in a Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago, the
EXCLUSIVE: Leslie Grossman (American Horror Story, Love, Victor) has joined the recurring cast of the hit Starz series Power Book III: Raising Kanan for its upcoming fifth and final season. She will play Florence “Flossie” Siegel, Manhattan’s most prolific madam. Flossie Siegel lives a polished, luxurious lifestyle on the surface, but as the daughter of
Reading Time: 4 minutes Apologies are great. They don’t fix everything, but they’re a good start. When apologies turn into defenses, over-explanations, and worse … they can make things worse. Disgraced former HGTV star Nicole Curtis should have stuck to her apology. Unfortunately, her lengthy self-defense isn’t reassuring people like she had hoped that it
The 2026 Winter Olympics kicked off in Milan on February 6th, and it seems that a new sport was added to the schedule: grovelling. After taking the bronze medal at the men’s 20 km biathlon, Norwegian athlete Sturla Holm Laegreid used his post-podium interview to reveal that he cheated on his former partner. Speaking to
If there’s one piece of iconography Weezer is known for, it’s not the flying W, and it’s definitely not the picture of that dude from Lost — it’s four nerdy-lookin’ guys standing in front of a solid color. From their classic self-titled debut (AKA The Blue Album) to later editions like The Black Album and

The Scream and Friday the 13th franchises have always been intrinsically connected. Not only are they foundational to the two major wings of the House of Slasher, but Scream directly references Sean S. Cunningham’s 1980 film in its opening act. Younger viewers, myself included, learned about the movie’s shocking killer reveal when Casey Becker (Drew
The tiara is composed of 33 sapphires from Ceylon (today Sri Lanka), of an intense blue, accompanied by more than 600 diamonds and presided over by a large central stone: a sapphire of more than forty carats, which would have been part of a previous jewel of the royal family. The result was a tiara
Vaneast Pictures has acquired international sales rights for Youngblood, a remake of the 1986 MGM classic starring Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze, for an EFM launch.

Critic’s Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 4.5 It’s been almost 27 years since John F. Kennedy, Jr., and his wife, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, died, along with her sister, in a plane crash on the way to a wedding, yet their allure persists. So much has happened since then that I’m struggling to wrap my head around writing
On the eve of its glitzy All-Star Game, an event that itself has been criticized for a lack of competitiveness, the NBA has fined two franchises for “the management of their rosters during recent games.” In the vernacular, they were tanking. Tanking is the term for teams that don’t expect to be competitive during a
Love is Blind season 10 spoilers ahead. Love is Blind is back! Season 10 serves up even more love triangles, medical emergencies (aka the infamous nail-glue incident), games of Never Have I Ever, and, of course, engagements.
