Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has hit theaters worldwide, and audiences were finally able to jump through multiple realities with veteran and novice Avengers Doctor Strange and America Chavez as they tried to escape Scarlet Witch’s wrath. The movie has plenty of developments over the course of its runtime, but one of the biggest is its post-credits scene. It’s a tease that no doubt left many audiences worldwide scratching their heads....

The marketing for Spider-Man: No Way Home has been minimal so far, but the anticipation surrounding the MCU threequel has been high due to the multiverse-sized rumors that are directly tied to it. Directed by Jon Watts, No Way Home will reunite Tom Holland’s Peter Parker with franchise mainstays like Jacob Batalon’s Ned Leeds, Zendaya’s MJ, and Marisa Tomei’s Aunt May. Plot details for the film are still being kept under wraps, but casting rumors that surfaced online in past months may have given fans an idea of what to expect on a narrative front....

It’s been rumored since last year that another iteration of the Joker would be introduced in Matt Reeves’ Batman trilogy. It isn’t too hard to believe since it seems like even James Gunn had the opportunity to include the Joker in The Suicide Squad. So, it doesn’t seem like Warner Bros. is married to the idea of Jared Leto returning as the Joker, especially after his non-appearance in Birds of Prey....

After a thrilling six-episode run, Moon Knight has wrapped its first season, which has a very real chance of continuing for a second. Starring Oscar Isaac, the story follows Marc Spector as he struggles with Dissociative Identity Disorder, alongside being the Avatar of the Egyptian God Khonshu. If even a part of that sounds familiar, those instincts would be right—being the Avatar for the moon-bird God sure seems a lot like the Black Panther’s situation....

Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been introducing fresh faces into the franchise such as Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi, Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, and Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau. Joining the growing roster of heroes will be Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan, but details about her MCU debut are still being kept under wraps. Vellani will serve as the lead star of Ms. Marvel, a Disney+ series that will showcase the transition of Kamala into the titular hero....

Why do people want bigger houses? For more storage. Recently, a Treehugger article titled “What would our homes look like if designed around how we use them?” was picked up several outlets interested in covering the relationship between home size and the American dream. Marketwatch wrote, “Why the American Dream of owning a big home is way overrated.” In another article, J.D. Roth wrote: Most, including our own David Friedlander, interpret this all to mean that people’s houses are too big, full of rooms they don’t use....

Spider-Man: No Way Home took 2021 by storm and became the biggest MCU film in a long time. Tom Holland‘s adventure as Spider-Man brought back old faces such as Alfred Molina‘s Doctor Octopus, Tobey Maguire‘s Spider-Man, and plenty more. With the film having come and gone, however, it’s time to put focus on the next Spidey film: Across The Spider-Verse (Part One). The animated venture by Sony pictures is bringing back Shameik Moore’s Miles Morales and Hailee Steinfeld’s Spider-Gwen as they embark on yet another Multiversal adventure....

The future of Star Wars video games is a bright one. After the EA Star Wars monopoly broke down over a year ago, the potential for digital adventures in the galaxy far, far away seems almost as vast as the Lucasian canon itself. However, that is not to say Electronic Arts will not be dipping their toes in the Star Wars waters; they just won’t be the only ones. And one of the biggest names waiting in the wings at EA is Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2....

The Mandalorian Season 2 is expanding the Star Wars franchise in exciting ways with the introduction of Grogu a.k.a. The Child. The Yoda-like toddler’s arrival in the realm of Star Wars added a whole new playground for the franchise to explore, and it also brought the live-action debuts of notable animated characters such as Bo-Katan and Ahsoka Tano. Not only that, but The Mandalorian also brought back a fan-favorite character in the form of Boba Fett....

The Mandalorian Season 2 delivered a satisfying experience to many Star Wars fans, much in thanks to the arrival of several fan-favorite characters. The self-contained nature of the Jon Favreau-created show was praised during its debut season due to its grounded take on the franchise, but it was evident that the scope of the narrative will get bigger from that point. As a result, Season 2 didn’t waste time in reintroducing characters into the core storyline of the show with the likes of Temuera Morrison’s Boba Fett and Katee Sackhoff’s Bo-Katan playing a much larger role than expected....

Chris Hemsworth’s fourth Thor film, Thor: Love and Thunder, hit theaters on July 8. The title saw the return of Taika Waititi to direct, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, and Natalie Portman as Jane Foster/Mighty Thor. Similar to Natalie Portman, actress Jaimie Alexander returned after not getting the call for Thor: Ragnorak. Alexander plays Lady Sif, a tenacious Asgardian warrior, and friend of Thor. Sif also recently appeared in last year’s Disney+ epic, Loki....

We rely on the ground. It is, pardon the wordplay, the bedrock of our civilization. We walk on it. We build on it. Without it, we’d have to figure out how to make floating cities either on the ocean or in the air. So until we figure that out, we rely on the ground. Sometimes, however, the ground isn’t reliable — like when sinkholes happen. Sinkholes can swallow streets, cars, houses and even whole buildings in urban areas....

Q: I’ve noticed that each of my friends has preferred household cleaning paraphernalia that they can’t live without — state-of-the-art vacuums, feather dusters, spray bottles of diluted white vinegar. Me? I’m a sponge kind of gal. I keep a well-stocked arsenal of sponges — there’s a dedicated sponge-shelf in my pantry — for any kind of clean-up job around the house, not just the dishes. I like to mix it up when it comes to sponge purchasing … sometimes I’ll go for ones with scouring pads, antibacterial ones, ones that are a bit more festively colored than just the standard green/yellow....

If the grass looks greener after the skies have cleared, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. There are several reasons rain helps lawns green up, said Jennifer Knoepp, a research soil scientist with the USDA Forest Service, SRS, Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory in Otto, North Carolina. Both of those reasons involve nitrogen, but one of them might surprise you. After it rains, there’s typically more water available in the soil for plants, Knoepp said....

To work the soil for your food is one of the most basic of human pursuits. Yet today, few people do any food gardening, though some, like my mother-in-law, do it religiously. For her and many others, gardening is more than just a way to get out into nature; it’s therapy. “It’s so gratifying to see the fruits of your labor,” she tells me. Turns out that research backs her up....

Earth is most likely experiencing its sixth mass extinction. The planet has been through at least five such catastrophes before, but this is the first one in human history — and the first one with human fingerprints. A report by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) offers sobering details about this decline, which has already cut the planet’s vertebrate wildlife populations by an average of 60 percent in just 40 years. The Living Planet Report reveals the troubling extent of this and other environmental crises around the world, but it also sheds light on the ways we can still protect and rehabilitate what’s left....

Butterflies are some of the most beautiful insects on the planet, and they can be found in practically any backyard, so it’s no surprise they’re a popular subject for photography. If you’d like to improve your photos of butterflies, try these tips: Photograph during the cooler hours of the day. Butterflies move more slowly when it’s cold out, preferring to stay perched on a flower or leaf for longer if they can....

Unlike dogs, cats don’t greet their owners with wagging tails and sloppy kisses, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have genuine affection for their human companions. Cats simply express their affection in more subtle ways, and all you need is a basic understanding of feline behavior and body language to see all the little ways your kitty says, “I love you.” Head Bumps and Leg Rubs Cats have scent glands concentrated on certain parts of their bodies, including their cheeks and heads....
