The woman who stood by the actor long before ALS came up in the conversation and long after Hollywood had already attempted to write its version of their marriage is often what people are searching for when they search for “Eric Dane wife.” In October 2004, Rebecca Gayheart married Eric Dane in Las Vegas, in what he once called a hasty, almost rash decision. It was the kind of celebrity union that appeared unplanned but oddly rooted. Gayheart was already well-known from movies like Jawbreaker and Urban Legend, and Dane’s star was on the rise at the time. Two actors…

The sidewalks had already been engulfed by snow by the time the plows arrived in Lyndhurst. When the final numbers were counted, some areas of New Jersey had recorded more than 30 inches. Measuring sticks sank deep into drifts that brushed past two feet. The recent nor’easter brought about a forced pause for a state that takes pride in its grit and impatience. With 30.7 inches, Lyndhurst topped the charts, according to the National Weather Service. Newark Airport officially recorded more than 27 inches, while Bogota trailed closely behind with 29.5 inches. Totals in Strathmore and Freehold Township were close…

Who killed a Mexican drug lord? It seems like a straightforward question.—until you observe how rapidly “an answer” transforms into a mist of warnings. In this instance, the drug lord is Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, popularly known as El Mencho. The short version is that he was killed in the Jalisco mountains during a Mexican military operation intended to apprehend him. He was killed by the state, according to the longer, more accurate version, but in the kind of state action that occurs quickly, under gunfire, with rival institutions keen to claim victory. The majority of reliable reports agree that…

One of those peculiarly sticky internet facts that should be resolved in a single sentence but leaves room for interpretation is Alysa Liu’s height. On a major official bio, you’ll see 5’2″, but if you go to another page, you’ll see 5’3″ stated with equal assurance. Rotations, air time, center of gravity, and the physics of getting a blade to bite and then releasing it at the precise millisecond are just a few examples of how frequently the sport itself pushes you toward body math. It may seem insignificant at first. The “Alysa Liu height” controversy is no longer gossip,…

The smoke was no longer rising in thick columns by late afternoon in Puerto Vallarta, but it still hung in the air like a relic the city couldn’t quite get rid of. Inland, along arterial roads and supermarket parking lots, charred buses and blackened cars told a different story from the postcard-perfect beaches, where blue Pacific water curled onto clean sand. Following a military operation in Tapalpa, Jalisco, Mexican authorities announced the death of Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, better known to most as “El Mencho.” He was 59 years old, the leader of the influential Jalisco New Generation Cartel, and…

The sound of tires hissing through slush, the occasional scrape of a shovel hitting concrete, and the distant, unyielding grind of a plow attempting to force its way through a curbside ridge that has already frozen into a tiny glacier are all muffled and cottony, and they are all heard outside New York after a significant snowfall. On day two, when the romance fades and the edges of the city become gray mounds of compacted ice, even those who claim to “love snow” always seem less convinced. This storm’s numbers have been significant enough to garner media attention and, more…

The way people lean forward after the lights go out, as if they’ve been given a secret, is what you notice most about Send Help, not the gore or even the jokes. Someone whispered, “This is the Raimi one,” in the row behind me, as if that were the only explanation for the room’s sudden warmth and alertness. Sam Raimi’s name carries a certain energy that makes you expect mischief, rubbery fear, and laughter that comes half a beat after you realize you’re supposed to be horrified. The idea seems simple enough to fit on a streaming thumbnail: an employee…

It wasn’t in a lab or a hospital when it first became apparent that something strange was occurring. It was located in the snack section. In private, a senior executive at a large food company acknowledged that cookie and chip sales were “softening in certain demographics.” It seemed cautious, almost evasive, how you put it. However, investors were not perplexed. They had already started simulating what some Wall Street analysts now refer to as the “Ozempic effect.” Category Details Drug Class GLP-1 Receptor Agonists Leading Brands Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro Key Companies Novo Nordisk; Eli Lilly Initial FDA Obesity Approval 2021…

A nine-year-old is sitting cross-legged on the floor of a Brooklyn apartment on a weekday afternoon, leaning his tablet against a pile of textbooks. She requests an explanation of fractions from a chatbot. An answer appears in a matter of seconds, complete with detailed reasoning, colorful diagrams, and even a follow-up test. She taps, nods, and continues. No hand was raised. Don’t wait. No obvious struggle. It’s difficult to ignore how seamless learning has gotten. These days, artificial intelligence permeates childhood in ways that are both familiar and unexpected. Before a parent can finish drying the dishes, voice assistants respond…

The concept of reversing aging has always remained in the realm of fantasy in a society where youth is frequently associated with vitality. Recent advances in science, however, are changing that perception and making the idea of treating aging a real possibility. Targeting the biological processes of aging rather than age-related illnesses has attracted a lot of interest from investors and scientists alike, who are investing billions of dollars in this new field. A tangible sense of excitement permeates the atmosphere. Funding for longevity research is predicted to reach an astounding $8.5 billion in 2024. Some of the wealthiest people…
