Even as the “whale tail” was gaining notoriety in the early aughts, few TV shows dared to incorporate the style on-screen. Degrassi: The Next Generation , however, wasn’t like other shows — and Manny Santos (Cassie Steele) wasn’t your run-of-the-mill high school character. Almost twenty years ago to the day, viewers witnessed Manny’s metamorphosis before our very eyes. In the third episode of Season 3, which premiered on Oct. 1, 2003, she shed her innocent persona and discovered the truly transformative powers of the visible thong . Titled “U Got The Look,” Manny made a declaration that teens ’round the world could relate to. “I wanna be hot. Not cute, not adorable. Hot,” she pronounced. And the tool she utilized to up her hot-o-meter? A slinky bedazzled thong she found at a kiosk in the mall. With a new look and newfound confidence, Manny strutted down the Degrassi hallways with the swagger of Bella Hadid on a Versace runway . In the scene, she wore a lace-up, off-the-shoulder

When Polygon most recently spoke to showrunner David Jenkins about his big gay pirate show Our Flag Means Death , it was in part to talk about where season 2 of the series seems to be headed. While season 1 was about the hapless crew of the pirate ship Revenge finding their feet as pirates and finding unexpected emotional connections they often don’t know how to navigate, season 2 brings in a new sense of outside pressure against the central characters in the form of a military assault on piracy. “I think there’s a story of this way of life coming to an end,” Jenkins told Polygon. “There are strong forces that are going to crack down on everything, and will the family survive? Is the thing they’ve built strong enough to survive?” Much as Our Flag Means Death ’s central story about “gentleman pirate” Stede Bonnet and notorious killer Edward “Blackbeard” Teach is drawn from real history , Jenkins explains that season 2’s outside threats are also part of history, from the end of the

Taylor Swift and Hayley Williams have never been in “Misery Business” together. During an Oct. 6 interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon , Paramore’s lead singer revealed the surprising way that she first met her good friend and future tour-mate: through Swift’s mother. As Williams explained to Fallon, she and Swift got started in the Nashville music industry “around the same time, and around the same age as well,” but only came into contact because Paramore and Swift were both nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards in 2008. The late Amy Winehouse ultimately won in that category, but they both ended up with a good friend instead when they were connected at an after-party by none other than Swift’s mother Andrea. “It was actually Timbaland’s GRAMMY party, [it was] huge, I was very nervous,” she recalled. “But a woman came up to me and she said, ‘I’m Taylor Swift’s mom and, you know, Taylor doesn’t have a lot of friends her age that do music. And I would

With serious investments needed to address Canada’s housing crisis, a top economist suggests a collaborative approach is required to make homes affordable. A recent report from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation found the 3.5 million additional new homes needed to make housing affordable in Canada by 2030 will cost an expected $1 trillion on top of what’s already planned. “The idea is just to convey to people the scale of the challenge, that we need fundamental reform, we need systematic change, we need change by governments and the policies, but we also need a lot of change by the private sector,” Aled Ab Iorwerth, deputy chief economist with the CMHC, told BNN Bloomberg Wednesday. “This is all hands on deck.” Ab Iorwerth said further tax breaks on construction are needed, such as the federal government’s previously announced plan to remove the GST from new rental builds. “There need to be incentives and encouragement to the private sector to put that money at work in

The Quebec government has introduced a bill that would allow it to join a proposed class-action lawsuit against more than 40 pharmaceutical companies accused of downplaying the harmful effects of opioids. The lawsuit application, launched by the British Columbia government in 2018, seeks $85 billion in damages to compensate Canadian governments for health-care costs linked to opioids. B.C. alleges that drug makers misrepresented the risk of opioid addiction and failed to mention side effects and withdrawal symptoms. Quebec’s bill would allow the government to sue opioid makers, wholesalers and consultants for health-care costs resulting from their alleged failure to warn the public of the risks associated with their drugs. The bill, tabled by Quebec Social Services Minister Lionel Carmant, also makes it possible for Quebec to join class actions initiated in other Canadian jurisdictions, which the province currently cannot do. There were more than 38,000 deaths linked to opioid

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Dave Pearson, who survived a shark attack in March 2011 off the coast of New South Wales, Australia, and founded the survivor group Bite Club. It has been edited for length and clarity. I had actually purchased a new surfboard the evening before I got bit, and was looking forward to testing it out. So me and a few mates headed out to the beach and had a normal afternoon surf, as we do. I’d only been out in the water for about five minutes, and I was on my stomach paddling back out after my third wave. I was looking over my left side at my mates when all of a sudden, the whole afternoon changed and a shark came up from just off to my right-hand side. Its nose hit my head and its bottom jaw hit my board. It flipped out of the water with my surfboard and my right arm stuck in its mouth. We tumbled to the ocean floor, but it left me alone pretty quick, and I was able to get back down on my board. When I looked down at my arm I

New technology could make it possible to use your electric vehicle as a power source for your home. While the idea might seem a little silly, utilizing your electric vehicle as a source of energy for your house could help during power outages and other emergencies. The new tech is called bidirectional charging, and when utilized in EVs, it allows power transfer from the EV battery back to a house’s power system. Tech. Entertainment. Science. Your inbox.

There are, of course, several different ways that bidirectional charging could be used. The most obvious is to use your car battery to power your home. This “vehicle to home” charging system would give your home power for roughly two full days, making it an ideal generator for emergency situations that only last 24 to 48 hours.  The other possibility is that

Kylie Jenner posted and then quickly deleted a post to her Instagram story, according to reports, that showed support for Israel after Hamas launched an attack against Israel over the weekend.  Jenner’s Instagram posts – her most recent was posted four days ago – are flooded with support for Palestinians after she seemed to delete the story.  Her followers and more commented with images of a Palestinian flag and with several calls to “free Palestine.” According to Business Insider, Jenner removed the story about an hour after posting it, and pro-Palestinian comments continue to flood her Instagram.  Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu officially declared “war” on Sunday after Hamas launched the attack and called for a massive military response.  “Citizens of Israel, we are at war — not in an operation, not in rounds — at war,” Netanyahu said in a video message on Saturday. Hamas terrorists have killed at least 600 Israelis and wounded at least 2,000 more in a surprise r

Hillary Clinton has called for a “formal deprogramming” of Donald Trump’s supporters , comparing followers of the former president to “cult members”. The former First Lady, who lost to Donald Trump in the 2016 election, launched the withering attack on the Republican front-runner’s backers during an interview on CNN aired on Friday. “Sadly, so many of those extremists, those MAGA (Make America Great Again) extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure,” she said. “He’s only in it for himself. He’s now defending himself in civil actions and criminal actions . And when do they break with him? You know, because at some point, you know, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members.” Critics were quick to suggest her remarks could serve to whip up hard-core Trump supporters and followers of an array of conspiracy theories who believe a hidden secretive elite and “deep state” is running Washington. ‘Throwing

The by a Serbian paramilitary unit on Albanian police officers in is the latest example in a chain of violent acts aimed at destabilizing Europe’s newest state. Belgrade’s denials of prior knowledge or involvement were made no less dubious by the massive armored troop deployments it subsequently sent to Kosovo’s borders, prompting even with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic. Hopefully, this incident has made the last advocates of appeasement policy rethink their position. The popular fairy tale until recently was that the autocratic Serbian regime was the anchor of stability in the Western Balkans. But this has now been completely discredited, despite Vucic continuing to play games through his governors in Kosovo and and Herzegovina. Still, Washington had made seeing Vucic as a “guarantor of stability” the guiding principle of its Balkan realpolitik a year ago in order to free Serbia from Russia’s grip and integrate it into the Ukraine alliance. But this “fantasy diplomacy” has

Elon Musk and Grimes filed dueling parental rights lawsuits last month in Texas and California respectively — and depending on who prevails, the dispute could shape up to be one of the biggest child support cases of all time. Musk filed his lawsuit against Grimes in Texas in early September, seeking to “establish the parent-child relationship” with the three kids he shares with the musician. A few weeks later, Grimes filed her own suit in California, seeking primary physical custody and joint legal custody. It’s unclear what either party’s ultimate goal is, whether it is related to physical custody, legal custody, child support, or some other issue. But the first fight is going to be over jurisdiction, attorneys with expertise in family law told Insider. The case should go forward in whichever state the children actually live, so Musk and Grimes could potentially spend the next year just trying to prove to the court that the children live in the state they each filed in, the l

In scenes that feel plucked from a children’s book, a young girl and her brother dress up to go see a rehearsal of the ballet Le Corsaire at the Lincoln Center. Once the performance ends, she’s asked whether she’d like to come back. “Yes!” she proclaims, as if it should be obvious. In her white floaty dress and silver short-heel shoes, she dances home: pliés on the train, arabesques and grand leaps over crosswalks, energetic twirls along the asphalt. At one point her brother goads her into making a jump from a closed grocery stand to the ground below. She does. She lands with all the grace adolescence affords.  Yolanssie Cardona, 12 at the time this Lincoln Center outing was filmed, is among a cohort of students at LIFT , the New York Theatre Ballet’s outreach program founded in 1989 by Diana Byer that offers mentorship, after-school assistance, and scholarships to students from low-income households attending the NYTB’s dance academy.  It is the story of this program and the c

Billions of dollars in U.S. military and economic aid have enabled Ukraine to fend off Russia’s invasion, but the future of that support is now in serious doubt. Congress approved a stopgap deal last month to keep the federal government open, but it excluded a request from President Biden to give Ukraine another round of funding. As the House of Representatives decides who will be its next speaker , some Republicans are digging in against sending more money to Kyiv. Mr. Biden has said for months that the United States will support Ukraine’s fight against Russia “for as long as it takes.” But he cannot make that guarantee because congressional approval is required for future infusions of aid. Administration officials warn that the aid is critical to Ukraine’s survival, and they say they are studying options should Congress halt or reduce U.S. support for the country. How much has the United States given to Ukraine so far? Congress has approved about $113 billion in response to

“Watcha Say” singer Jason Derulo is speaking out about a lawsuit filed against him by one of his former artists alleging sexual harassment and retaliation. “I wouldn’t normally comment but these claims are completely false and hurtful,” Derulo asserted in an Instagram post Friday. “I stand against all forms of harassment and I remain supportive of anybody following their dreams. I’ve always strived to live my life in a positively impactful way, and that’s why I sit here before you deeply offended, by these defamatory claims. God bless.” See his post below. In the lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Emaza Gibson alleges quid pro quo sexual harassment against Derulo who signed her under his Atlantic Records imprint Future History in August 2021. She claims he later went “radio silent” about her requests to schedule recording sessions after she rejected his sexual advances and his repeated invitations for dinners and drinks. He then dropped her deal in September 20

A coalition of major news organizations and broadcasters are calling on the judge overseeing the trial into former President Donald Trump ‘s alleged criminal attempt to overturn the 2020 election results to allow cameras to film the proceedings. In court filings shared with Deadline, several media outlets such as C-Span, the Associated Press, CNN , ABC News and The New York Times are urging Judge Tanya Chutkan to take the unprecedented step of allowing cameras into a federal criminal trial. In their argument, the news organizations suggest that cameras should be allowed to record the proceedings as “we have never, in the history of our nation” had a federal criminal trial that warrants audio and visual access more thanTrump’s alleged attempt to ‘subvert the will of the people.’” “The central purpose of the constitutional right of access—the law that governs here—is to ensure fair trials and to promote confidence in the justice system,” lawyers representing the news organizatio
