‘Weapons’ review: Six characters reveal bloody slices of the truth

‘Weapons’ review: Six characters reveal bloody slices of the truth

2025 Subaru WRX tS review: A scalpel-sharp chassis lets this car dance

The 11.6-inch portrait-oriented infotainment screen returns, and while it packs all the obvious functionality, such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a decent native navigation system, it still suffers from terribly sluggish response times. The new digital gauge cluster offers multiple display options, including a driver-focused performance view with boost pressure, gear position, and torque distribution. A new digital gauge …

The Origin of Language by Madeleine Beekman review – the surprising history of speech | Science and nature books
