The event took place in a convention hall that exuded the kind of subdued excitement that can only be produced by a devoted fandom. People holding plastic coffee cups, rows of folding chairs, and fans sporting faded Firefly T-shirts that have obviously withstood over ten years of comic conventions. Then Nathan Fillion took the stage and uttered the words that many in the room had nearly given up on hearing. Firefly may be returning.

The trolley bays outside a big supermarket in Cardiff were rapidly filling up on a gloomy weekday morning. Families were coming in with shopping lists, frozen veggies, bread, and maybe a weekend treat. However, a printed notice had silently surfaced inside the store, close to the customer service desk. It advised consumers to inspect specific items at home. A wave of Asda Farmfoods Argos recalls that have prompted thousands of customers to open their cabinets with a little more caution was reflected in the notice, which was tiny and nearly impossible to overlook.

On a quiet Sunday morning in northern England, the air feels sharper than it did just a few days ago. A thin frost lingers along parked cars and garden fences, and the sky carries that pale grey tone many Britons associate with approaching snow. It’s not quite winter anymore—mid-March rarely behaves like January—but the latest snow UK weather forecast suggests that the season isn’t finished with Britain just yet. Weather forecasters at the Met Office have been watching a familiar atmospheric pattern slide southward. A powerful jet stream, racing across the Atlantic at remarkable speed, has pulled colder Arctic air…
A small group of tourists strolls silently along a narrow trail early on a foggy morning in a cedar forest outside of Kyoto. Nobody is hurrying. A guide stops next to a tree covered in moss and instructs the group to listen and take slow, deep breaths. Somewhere above the canopy, birds flutter. The scent of the air is slightly sweet and almost therapeutic. It’s obvious that something strange is going on when you watch scenes like this: people are paying actual money just to stroll leisurely through the forest. Investors and travel agencies are beginning to take notice of…
Outside a downtown office tower, the lunchtime crowd moves swiftly. As they emerge through glass doors, people scan food delivery apps on their phones and select between packaged snacks that promise energy in a matter of minutes, sugary drinks, and burgers. The street is filled with the aroma of fried food. In cities like Tokyo and New York, it’s a typical scene. However, as it develops, it’s difficult to avoid wondering if the contemporary food environment is subtly influencing something more profound than waist sizes. Scientists have started posing the difficult question, “Is the modern diet fueling a global mental…
A recurring pattern appears when the World Happiness Report releases its rankings each spring. The same group of northern nations—Finland, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, and Sweden—usually hold the top spots. It is now practically predictable. However, the result still begs an interesting question. Why do the happiest societies on Earth consistently rank among those with frigid winters, little daylight, and relatively high taxes?

A serene Midwestern landscape is visible from the corner office of one of his buildings in Rockford, Illinois. Beyond the windows, golf course greens gently roll, and framed pictures of politicians, local authorities, relatives, and moments from decades of public life adorn the walls. It’s an office that feels more like a personal archive than a corporate command center. This is where Sunil Puri, a real estate developer who came to America with little more than willpower, developed a business career that many observers now believe has resulted in a net worth in the billions of dollars.

A familiar rhythm fills the sidewalks along 24th Street in Noe Valley, San Francisco, on a typical evening. Families move between cafes and bakeries. Dogs pull their owners through the windows of bookstores. A restaurant with an unmistakable scent of melted mozzarella and wood smoke sits somewhere in the middle of that peaceful neighborhood bustle. Project Pizza NOE LLC’s Fiorella pizza location recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, adding yet another chapter to the company’s challenging year.

The size of an Ohio-class submarine is almost unbelievable when one first stands on a naval pier and watches it slowly glide away from the dock. The massive black steel hull extends far beyond what one might anticipate from something meant to vanish beneath the sea. While setting up lines and inspecting equipment, crew members move silently along the deck. Then, with hardly a ripple in its wake, the submarine just plunges into open water. These ships have been quietly transporting some of the most concentrated firepower ever put on a single naval platform for decades. However, the U.S. Navy…
The athletes are frequently captured on camera during Wimbledon. On occasion, though, they stray in the direction of the stands. One face has repeatedly surfaced during tense games in recent seasons: Georgios Frangulis, leaning forward slightly and staring at the court while tennis player Aryna Sabalenka fights through another rally. He initially appeared to many viewers as just “Sabalenka’s boyfriend.” However, that description obscures a much bigger picture. A businessman with an estimated net worth of between $75 million and $100 million, primarily from the rapidly expanding superfood chain Oakberry, sits behind the silent presence in the stands. If you…
