Every year, Google releases a report highlighting the top trending searches, offering a snapshot of what captured our collective curiosity, spanning pop culture, entertainment, internet trends, and news events. This year, people around the world were most curious about everything from hot honey and AI chatbots to the Toronto Blue Jays. Before we get into the specifics, it’s worth noting that Google’s report doesn’t reflect the overall most popular searches.

Inside, you’ll see a line you can move with your arm and point where you want to go. Pull a trigger, and the drone…

Earlier this month, Charli XCX joined Substack. It’s not odd for a pop star to want to share thoughts in a more long-form, newsletter setting (her friend Lorde notably kept a long-running tour diary well before the Substack boom in recent years). But her first two posts do contain some big reflections on her life as a pop star, specifically her feelings about existing as one in this current moment. “After my previous album, Brat, I had this feeling that I wouldn’t be able to make music anymore,” she wrote in the debut newsletter titled “Running on the spot in…

China’s efforts to slow land degradation and climate change by planting trees and restoring grasslands have shifted water around the country in huge, unforeseen ways, new research shows.Between 2001 and 2020, changes in vegetation cover reduced the amount of fresh water available for humans and ecosystems in the eastern monsoon region and northwestern arid region, which together make up 74% of China’s land area, according to a study published Oct. 4 in the journal Earth’s Future. Over the same period, water availability increased in China’s Tibetan Plateau region, which makes up the remaining land area, scientists found.”We find that land…

I feel my travel-scrunched spine start to straighten as I stretch out on the plump mattress, a quilted blanket wrapped around me and a pillow beneath my head. As bedtime routines go, however, this one involves a novel step – placing my lower legs in a mesh bag and clipping it into seatbelt-style buckles on either side; the bed will be travelling at around 50mph for the next 12 hours and there are safety regulations to consider.Last month Swiss startup Twiliner launched a fleet of futuristic sleeper buses, and I’ve come to Amsterdam to try them out.
