Ten years on from the release of his acclaimed seventh album, Carrie & Lowell, Sufjan Stevens has offered a surprising re-evaluation of the record. Originally released in March 2015, Carrie & Lowell was Stevens’ first studio album since 2010’s The Age of Adz, and would ultimately peak at No. 10 on the Billboard 200, while topping the Independent and Folk Albums charts, and hitting No. 2 on the Top Alternative and Rock Albums. Despite the highs of its success, the record was steeped in sadness and misery, with much of its musical and lyrical content being inspired by the 2012…

No waiting for hours or planning schedules around charging stops—That’s the future Flextron is building, one fast-charging battery at a time.While kicking around a football, five longtime friends and engineering graduates from St Joseph’s College, Bengaluru, found themselves deep in conversation about electric vehicles.

On Tuesday’s (May 27) season 20 premiere of America’s Got Talent, judge Simon Cowell was blown away by a Brazilian crew that combined LED technology and dance for a simply mesmerizing show. The troupe is called Light Wire, and their show has to be seen to be believed. The movements of four dancers onstage cascade from LED lights on their costumes up to larger-than life light illustrations on the screens, also including massive animations, like a stage filled with water or the dancers shifting into the head of a snake. The whole thing is soundtracked by powerful music that drives…

There was just one problem: No one told him there wasn’t an office.”I show up in D.C. and I’m like, Where do I go?” he recalls. “They send me to an address. It’s just a restaurant.”But Burns wouldn’t want it any other way. “Kind of the beauty of &pizza [is] it’s all about the restaurant,” he says. “The people. The vibe. You can’t get that in an office.” But what he walked into wasn’t…

Wait at least eight hours, then launder with the warmest water the fabric care instructions allow. Buzzfeed Shopping senior writer Emma Lord says: “This spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you’ve tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get…
