Beef season 2 review: Charles Melton is hilarious in another bloody, sizzling serving

Beef season 2 review: Charles Melton is hilarious in another bloody, sizzling serving

A star rating of 4 out of 5. Netflix’s Beef is the latest celebrated ‘miniseries’ to ditch that label in pursuit of further accolades, but Lee Sung Jin’s revenge-themed comedy-drama isn’t resting on its laurels in season 2. Rather, the screenwriter is bravely taking his first self-created series down the anthology path, shedding his original leads Steven Yeun and Ali Wong for an all-new story orbiting a country club for the super-rich. The recruitment of Alien: Romulus star Cailee Spaeny is ironic, given that Beef’s evolution matches that of the iconic sci-fi horror franchise, which famously went from lone survival story Alien to all-out war flick Aliens. Beef season 2 could, accordingly, have gone by ‘Beefs’ instead, doubling the number of participants in its bitter feud as two couples become fatefully entangled by a chance encounter. Oscar Isaac (Dune) and Carey Mulligan (The Ballad of Wallis Island) play middle-class couple Josh and Lindsay, who work senior positions at the aforementioned leisure club, which comes with an eye-watering $300,000 admission fee.

Not all naked mole-rat queens go out in a blaze of bloody violence

Not all naked mole-rat queens go out in a blaze of bloody violence

Get the Popular Science daily newsletter💡 Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Queen bees may get most of the glory, but there is another queen of the animal kingdom who is the linchpin of her entire society. Queen naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber) reign over their underground kingdoms as the bearer of all children, while other rats build and maintain a complex system to tunnels, find food, and take care of the queen’s babies.  When a queen’s fertility declines or disappears, the colony fights a bloody succession battle. However, that violent fight for domination does not always occur. Peaceful succession between reigning queens and subordinate females is possible within an established naked mole-rat colony during times of stress. The findings are detailed in a study published today in the journal Science Advances and upends a lot of what we know about the rodent’s flexibility and resilience.  A special lab rat Native to eastern Africa, naked mole-rats have been particularly fascinating to scientists for over half a century. They were first brought into …

‘Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen’s bloody ending, explained

Well, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen lives up to its title. Something very bad does, in fact, happen at the wedding between Rachel Harkin (Camila Morrone) and Nicky Cunningham (Adam DiMarco), leaving gallons of blood and countless dead Cunninghams scattered across the reception’s dance floor. SEE ALSO: ‘Bait’ review: Riz Ahmed’s comedy series has us shaken, stirred, the whole lot Despite what all the blood might have you think, this ending isn’t all bad news for the (un)happy couple, as a last-minute twist leaves Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen on a somewhat hopeful note. Let’s dive into it. Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen‘s wedding curse, explained. Zlatko Burić in “Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen.” Credit: Netflix Before we get into the very end of Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, let’s rewind to the show’s fourth episode, which lays out a curse that has been plaguing Rachel’s bloodline for years.

‘All you hear is bloody Irish accents’: the unstoppable growth of Sydney’s ‘County’ Coogee | Sydney

‘All you hear is bloody Irish accents’: the unstoppable growth of Sydney’s ‘County’ Coogee | Sydney

“I remember having my mind blown seeing boys walking down the beach in Irish football jerseys,” says Luke McCaul, a Dublin-born hairdresser and drag queen who moved to the beachside Sydney suburb of Coogee to work 15 years ago. “Like, ‘what the fuck are they doing?’ Gaelic football jerseys – in Australia!” “County” Coogee, as it’s become popularly known, hosts one of the largest Irish populations in Australia. In the last census, 19.5% of its residents claimed Irish heritage. When McCaul describes “going down Coogee Bay Road and all you hear is bloody Irish accents”, he’s not joking. It also tracks with my own experience. Both my daughters were born at the nearby Prince of Wales hospital, where almost every midwife hailed from Belfast, Galway or Derry. When we officially moved to Coogee last year, their new daycare educators had exciting names like Siobhan, Gillian and Niamh. So why here? Coogee is not the only beach in Sydney’s east, nor is it the most affordable, and yet the four-leafed clover takeover is undeniable. Along with …

Europe’s Civilizational War Will Be Bloody

Europe’s Civilizational War Will Be Bloody

Authored by J.B. Shurk via American Thinker, It seems as if every month a new story comes out of Britain warning about the likelihood of future civil war.  Retired colonel Richard Kemp recently gave a television interview during which he warned that the “Islamification” of the United Kingdom would lead to “inevitable conflict.”   Several British academics specializing in the preconditions for civil conflict, including professors David Betz and Michael Rainsborough, have argued the same point. Kemp’s point of view carries the added weight of someone who has witnessed insurgent fighting firsthand.  A former commander who carried out counter-insurgency operations in Northern Ireland, led British forces in Afghanistan, and held intelligence roles in Westminster, Kemp says Islamic immigrants’ refusal to integrate into British society means that things in the U.K. are “getting bad” and about to “get worse.”  Among other provocative comments that will no doubt ruffle the feathers of Britain’s “ruling class,” Kemp notes, “There were more British Muslims with the Taliban than in the British Army.” The combat veteran argues that Britain’s political class has failed citizens by putting them in harm’s way and …

Iran in collective shock after bloody crackdown

Iran in collective shock after bloody crackdown

During the burial of Mohammad Mozafari at the Yengi Emam Cemetery, 25 kilometers from Karaj, Iran, January 14, 2026. ANONYMOUS PHOTOGRAPHER “Death dust everywhere.” This Persian expression is being constantly repeated by Iranians to describe the atmosphere that has prevailed across the country following the bloody crackdown on the latest wave of protests. It reflects a sense of depression and of suffocating heaviness, as if all life and vitality had been crushed. Internet access has remained cut off for the most part since January 8, the date of mass demonstrations against the Islamic Republic, which authorities responded to by firing live ammunition at protesters. Recently, however, technical glitches have enabled a growing number of Iranians to briefly connect to the internet using VPNs, which has allowed them to grasp the scale of the repression by the Iranian regime – which is entirely unmatched compared to previous waves. “I have absolutely no control over my psychological state. I have been doing very badly since I saw the photos and videos of the lifeless bodies in various …

Videos of body bags and machine guns give rare glimpse of Iran’s bloody crackdown

Videos of body bags and machine guns give rare glimpse of Iran’s bloody crackdown

One man is covered with a bloody white shroud inside a body bag. Another lies nearby, his body sprawled on the tiled floor with arms raised and blood streaked across the face. Row upon row of other bodies surround them. “It’s horrifying. It’s the apocalypse,” says the man filming the scene in the warehouse of a forensics center near Tehran. “There are lots of bodies.” Iran has been largely shut off from the rest of the world for days, since its regime cut the internet and severely restricted phone access after cities across the country erupted in anger sparked by the crash of the currency against the U.S. dollar and soaring inflation. Videos that have trickled out and circulated online offer a window into the resulting crackdown in the Islamic Republic and the methods employed by security forces to quell the unrest. The images, circulated on social media this week and geolocated by NBC News, show more than 200 bodies piled in the makeshift morgue outside the capital, machine guns fired at crowds, and clashes …

Iran’s bloody and concealed crackdown

Iran’s bloody and concealed crackdown

A fire breaks out as people protest in Tehran, on Friday, January 9, 2026. This image was taken from a video shot by someone not employed by the Associated Press and then obtained by AP from outside Iran. AP At first, Iranian leaders’ rhetoric presented the protesters as people expressing “legitimate demands” due to economic problems, saying they should be listened to and distinguished from “rioters.” Since Friday, January 9, however, state media outlets, as well as political and judicial leaders, have labeled them “terrorist agents” who serve the United States and Israel. This rhetorical shift, which came in the wake of major demonstrations on Thursday, has paved the way for a bloody crackdown. On Friday morning, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei addressed his supporters, promising that the Islamic Republic “will not back down in the face of those who are destructive,” thus giving Iranin authorities a clear signal to intensify the repression. “Last night in Tehran and other cities, a bunch of vandals took to the streets and destroyed buildings belonging to their own country …

3D printed skulls make mounting antlers less of a bloody mess

3D printed skulls make mounting antlers less of a bloody mess

Get the Popular Science daily newsletter💡 Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. 3D printing is making the dirty business of mounting an animal’s skull over the mantle a bit less gory.  A growing number of hunting enthusiasts and several companies are taking the fabrication principles used to make everything from lamp shades to advanced medical equipment and applying it to deer and other “trophy” animals. Once the skulls are 3D printed, a hunter or collector can then take their real antlers or horns and slip them pre-made holes. The end product looks pretty close to the real thing, but cuts out the need for hours of intensive, bloody cleaning or an appointment with an expensive taxidermist. Printing heads separately also opens up mounting options for shed hunters who collect naturally discarded antlers, but do not want to kill an animal. Though the space is mostly made up of individual creators, Utah-based Bucks N Bull Skulls  currently sells an assortment of 3D-printed deer, elk, and caribou skulls ranging from $50 to $150. Bucks N …
