Remains of a man buried in a rich grave. In the paper, we write the following about K6: “Interestingly, and contrary to expectation, individuals buried together did not have close biological kin relationships. An exception to this pattern is the individual buried at the bottom of grave K in Téviec (K6(16)-tev003), who had closer biological kin links to at least two (sampled of a total of five) of the individuals buried above him, while these were not closely related with each other. This finding corroborates the…

When a character in a movie works, when it truly works, their little habits and traits pass on to the viewers. The way they talk, or stand, or even communicate- burn in our memory like an afterthought. Such is the case with Bella Baxter in Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things, played by Emma Stone with tremendous ferocity and feeling. She is an experiment: a woman with the brain of her own unborn child, that was cut off from her body after she tried to kill herself. In some ways she is her own mother and daughter, but also,…

We’re rapidly approaching the quarter mark of the 21st century, but instead of being at the brink of a radical transformative stage, such as the futuristic vision akin to Arthur C. Clarke’s Star Child from 2001: A Space Odyssey, we’re still throwing proverbial bones into the sky. China's Plan to Land Astronauts on the MoonSuch is the feeling I get in the wake of three recent Moon missions, in which two spacecraft, Japan’s SLIM and Intuitive Machines’ Odysseus, survived despite falling awkwardly onto the lunar surface,…

In lieu of a Best Sleeves category, I will settle instead for it winning Best Picture.I’m not even being facetious. Those sleeves, part of the most decadent costume designs from Holly Waddington – and swaddled around leading actor Emma Stone to devastating effect – shifted the trajectory of my entire wardrobe…

In "Thanos" #4, Death tries to kill her relentless suitor, attacking him with the full strength of her rage and anger. However, her powers don't take him down. Instead, Thanos finds his footing, claims Death has become unworthy of her title, and unleashes the full might of his cosmic powers at her. As the fight unfolds, Death scoffs at the Illuminati's efforts in trying to stop it, taking the heroes out of the battle by showing them dark visions of their past. As Thanos stands on the brink of defeat, he…

South Park: Snow Day! is nothing like the two South Park RPGs that preceded it, with its 3D animated aesthetic, its co-op battle gameplay, and even its surprisingly cheap $30 price tag. The move away from epic-scale, in-depth RPGs was a deliberate choice, says co-creator Matt Stone, and gives them the freedom to do some new things with the South Park gaming franchise."We came off of The Fractured But Whole, and we definitely wanted to do another video game, but we wanted to do something different," Stone…

Oscars 2024: The Best Actress category this year is down to Emma Stone versus Lily Gladstone. Every major award of the season has gone to one of the two, while the Globes awarded both of them thanks to the split categories of Comedy and Drama. The other nominees are just as affecting featuring fiercely independent characters that refuse to be defined by their relationships to the men in their lives. (Also read: Oscars 2024: Barbie and Oppenheimer to Poor Things and Killers of the Flower Moon, a guide to Best Picture)…
