You can say what you like about Glen Powell. And many people do, however unfairly – that he came out of nowhere, that he’s a dumb jock in place of a leading man, that he looks like a capybara (ok, that one’s fair). But the star of Hit Man, Top Gun: Maverick and Anyone But You really knows how to pick a blockbuster. Because Twisters is set to be the box office smash of the summer. Twisters is a reboot of  1996’s Twister, which was also a box office smash, raking in $494.5 million worldwide; perhaps a good indication of audience...

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

(MA) Meet Winks, an adorable and incredibly strong puppy with a heartbreaking origin. Winks was found unmoving on the side of a road with severe injuries. He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed.

Caught between the summer-movie sweet spot and the suck zone, Twisters delivers blustery chaos but, by minimizing its predecessor’s goofiness in favor of vacuous character drama, winds up only sporadically kicking into gale-force gear.While Jan de Bont’s 1996 original was dumb as rocks and light on actual adrenalized suspense, it at least had the good sense to be over-the-top in every respect. Minari director Lee Isaac Chung, on the other hand, takes a more straightforward approach to his material, and the cost of less cartoonishness, ultimately, is meager slam-bang giddiness. Nonetheless, if it never raises one’s pulse, the film, which...

From 1665 to 1713, astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini and others observed a dark oval — nicknamed the Permanent Spot — on Jupiter at the same latitude where the Great Red Spot now swirls. Researchers today have wondered whether these spots are one and the same.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
