Host Jimmy Kimmel took a shot of tequila before announcing the 2024 Oscar winners. Florence Pugh and more also took shots of tequila with Guillermo. Sure, Don Julio seems to have been the big sponsor at the Academy Awards this year, but this isn’t the first time tequila has been a major part of awards season. In fact, The Rock took a shot before he showed up and got an eyeful of John Cena’s (mostly) nude moment, and the whole thing is harkening back to a moment shared between Margot Robbie and America Ferrera as well. …

Djo, the musician and Stranger Things actor better known as Joe Keery, is a student of the classics. So the opportunity to tour a famed west London studio – arguably the most famous in the world, although the name can’t be printed here as they technically don’t allow tours – is equal parts awe-inspiring and terrifying.

Taylor Swift fans have been linked to some well-reported seismic activity during her current worldwide 'Eras' concert tour. With none other than the Seismological Society of America, which has been researching earthquakes since the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906, publishing a new study analyzing the degree of tremor a T-Swift concert generates, we thought we’d investigate how other musical artists' fans stacked up in terms of their stadium-shaking abilities.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: Music…

The answer lies in some of the earliest extensive relics of Earth's surface, found in a remote corner of southern Africa's highveld—a region known to geologists as the Barberton Greenstone Belt.
