“Investigadores analizaron las letras de más de 38.000 canciones y descubrieron que la música popular está perdiendo de forma constante su profundidad emocional.

COYOTE VS ACME has officially surpassed SUPERGIRL ($126M) at the global box office, becoming summer’s highest-grossing movie produced by Warner Bros.

A striking contrast on the streets of Paris: A couple sits sipping drinks at an outdoor café as flames burn just steps away.
The moment was captured Saturday near the Arc de Triomphe, on the outskirts of rioting that erupted during demonstrations over rising prices, inequality and public spending.
Video shows the pair continuing their conversation as a burning trash bin lights up the background.
