Are wildfires setting us back on air pollution?

Long-term exposure to particulates from wildfire smoke brings health risks

Researchers at the University of Chicago released their annual Air Quality Life Index (AQLI), which tracks air pollution and how it impacts life expectancies. This year's report analyzed data collected in 2023. That year, as Canada faced its worst wildfire season in history, with more than 40 million acres of land burning, the flames caused air-pollution concentrations to rise to levels not seen since the AQLI began recording air-quality data (2011 in the U.S. and 1998 in Canada).

A murder franchise finds its Monsters- and they're us

MIDWAY THROUGH MONSTER: THE ED GEIN STORY, the title character stares into the camera and warns: “You shouldn't be watching this.” He’s talking to two strangers who've interrupted him in the bloody aftermath of a murder. But the closeup makes it clear that Gein, played with eerie gentleness by Charlie Hunnam, is also addressing his audience of Netflix viewers. Then he revs his chainsaw and chases the men. Of course, we keep watching. In the next scene, Gein offers the spectacle of a dead, nude woman, strung up like a carcass in a slaughterhouse.

Slow Horses gets an explosive sister show

In the premiere of Down Cemetery Road, a desperate woman walks into a private investigator's office. “Let me guess,” says the detective, Zoë Boehm (Emma Thompson). “You've got a husband. He's got a secretary. Am I warm?” She is not. Neither a film-noir femme fatale nor a jealous housewife, Sarah Trafford (Ruth Wilson) has come for help in solving a mystery that has little to do with her own life. Her initially inexplicable obsession sets the tone for Apple's unusually humane conspiracy thriller.
