Spider-Man: No Way Home had the monumental task of introducing the Multiverse, bringing back a whole number of fan-favorite characters, delivering a satisfying conclusion (for now) for the MCU’s Peter Parker, and, of course, uniting all three Spider-Men. Since its release, the film has earned a staggering amount of profit for Sony, a good sign for potential future Spidey flicks down the road. The film is having some short-term impact though, having, confusingly, affected Morbius’ two post-credits sequences and directly being referenced in the opening moments of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness....

The Mandalorian’s Season 3 trailer included battle droids from the Star Wars prequel trilogy.Season 3 of The Mandalorian has been a long time coming; but from what Lucasfilm teased in the series’ latest trailer, it will be worth the wait. Clocking in at just under two minutes, the Disney+ season teaser was a literal bounty of content for fans to dissect, courtesy of visuals of Mandalore, Coruscant, and possibly more of Grogu’s Order 66 memories....

While each Marvel project tells its own unique story, every installment is riddled with subtle nods to the MCU’s past and what’s to come in the future. From Wakanda being marked on a map in Iron Man 2 eight years before the fictional nation made its on-screen debut to Stephen Strange being casually name-dropped in Captain America: The Winter Soldier before the former neurosurgeon was the MCU’s resident Sorcerer Supreme, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not exactly shy when alluding to what’s to come....

The DC Extended Universe is slowly working to build its next exciting slate of in-universe films while Zack Snyder’s Justice League makes its impressive run on HBO Max. Included in this next bunch of projects will be sequels and origin stories alike, including one of the most oft-delayed films of the entire franchise in The Flash. Originally meant to release just after Justice League in 2018, The Flash has seen multiple directors enter and exit the production, with the same thing happening in the movie’s cast as well....

Harley Quinn is a unique show in the DC Comics pantheon. It’s the only animated TV-MA content that has come out of the DCU, and it truly lives up to its name and rating. It’s brutal, raunchy, and just pure insanity sometimes. Of course, it’s hard to live up to those descriptive words without having Harleen Quinzel as the leading character. The series has had two seasons already air, but the last time a new episode was dropped was in 2020....

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is inching closer to its finish line, but there is still a good chunk of story and characters to introduce in the final batch of episodes.

Avengers: The Kang Dynasty writer Jeff Loveness addressed his thoughts on Avengers: Endgame’s use of time travel.Time travel has always been important to the Marvel universe, and that finally became the case for the MCU too in Avengers: Endgame.

As 2022, as well as Phase 4 of the MCU, draws to a close, all eyes are on Marvel Studios’ next theatrical release and the long-awaited sequel: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.While 2018’s Black Panther featured a largely female cast of the likes of Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, and Danai Gurira, the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman has resulted in those female stars taking the helm of Wakanda Forever. For any other film, the loss of its title character would likely have been insurmountable....

They call them milk floats, we call them milk trucks. The difference is that the English ones are electric. First invented for milk runs in 1889, no one seems to know why they are called “floats”. By the 1940s many local dairies were using the battery-powered electric vehicles; there were thousands on the streets in England and Scotland delivering milk and bread. In the last twenty years they have practically disappeared, probably because people buy their milk at supermarkets now....

Do you take as much pride in your lawn as in your adorable pooch? A recent study found that dogs exposed to lawn care chemicals can have a higher bladder cancer risk. Once contaminated with those chemicals, dogs also can pass these chemicals to their owners, children and other pets in the house. The study, published in Science of the Total Environment, found that the incidence of lawn chemicals in the urine of pet dogs was widespread — even among dogs in households where chemicals were not applied....

This TreeHugger is a big fan of bidets (and I really like my Toto). Now Scientific American looks at the issue, when a reader asks “Wouldn’t a return to installing bidets in bathrooms at home go a long way toward cutting disposable tissue use and saving forests?” To be pedantic, it is not a return to installing bidets, they have never been popular in America; in fact, they were always a niche market among the rich who did European tours....

Lots of people are talking about going net zero when it comes to electricity and even going off-grid; not so many are considering going net-zero water and going off-pipe. When one considers the cost in dollars and energy required to clean water for drinking, only to flush it down the toilet, take it back and clean it again before dumping, you would think that municipalities would welcome composting toilets in homes....
