How to watch Super Bowl 2025: You can stream the game live for free with no cable required

With over 100 channels, YouTube TV offers more of the most popular channels than its competitors. By CNET’s count, out of the top 100 networks, YouTube TV offers the most channels, 78, of any streaming service. YouTube TV enables you to watch your local ABC, CBS, Fox, PBS, and NBC channels in most areas. That means, of course, you can easily watch the Super Bowl on the service with its lowest-priced plan, the YouTube TV Base Plan, for $82.99 a month.  Spanish speakers, however, must pay $14.99 per month for the “Spanish Plus” add-on package to get FOX Deportes along with several other Spanish-language channels, such as ESPN Deportes, Discovery en Español, and CNN en Español.

Lab-grown T cells engineered to live longer and fight cancer more effectively

Lab-grown T cells engineered to live longer and fight cancer more effectively

Researchers have developed a new method for growing T cells in the lab, allowing them to survive longer and fight cancer more effectively. This advancement, detailed in Cell Metabolism, could significantly improve immunotherapy, a treatment that harnesses the body’s immune system to target cancer. Immunotherapy has transformed cancer treatment, with strategies like immune checkpoint blockade and adoptive cell therapy (ACT) helping the body’s T cells attack tumors. However, these treatments face major hurdles, particularly in solid tumors. While ACT has shown success against blood cancers, solid tumors present metabolic barriers that weaken T cells before they can eliminate cancer cells. A major challenge in ACT is the tumor microenvironment (TME), which starves T cells of essential nutrients and alters their function. When T cells face continuous stimulation without proper metabolic support, they lose their ability to fight tumors. Scientists have been working to improve the metabolic resilience of these cells, but the traditional lab methods used to expand T cells may be part of the problem. Graphical abstract. Hyperglycemic culture conditions promote expansion at the …

Most people worldwide live under blasphemy laws – Freedom of Thought report

Most people worldwide live under blasphemy laws – Freedom of Thought report

Blasphemy laws exist in 91 states, affecting 57% of the global population. That is the headline from the 2024 edition of Humanists International’s Freedom of Thought Report, which launches today. The Report is a unique survey of discrimination and persecution against humanists, atheists, and the non-religious in every country across the world. It is now in its 13th annual edition. Blasphemy laws – explicit or de facto – are laws that prohibit, punish, or otherwise limit expression that hurts religious sentiments or feelings. Those who defend the existence of blasphemy laws often do so on the grounds that they are intended to prevent intercommunal violence. However, contrary to this, blasphemy laws are an affront to human rights. Human rights protect people from discrimination, violence, and other forms of harm. They do not protect ideas or objects, nor do they protect people from feeling insulted when their ideas – including their religions – are challenged. However, blasphemy laws do just that. They stifle not only the right to freedom of expression but the right to freedom …

“I don’t need this”: John Mulaney cheekily quotes RFK Jr. while promoting new Netflix live talk show

“I don’t need this”: John Mulaney cheekily quotes RFK Jr. while promoting new Netflix live talk show

“We will never be relevant,” quipped John Mulaney about his upcoming live talk show at Netflix’s 2025 preview event on Wednesday morning. And yet, the comedian did quote Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, from the confirmation hearing earlier that morning. In front of gathered journalists at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, Mulaney introduced his upcoming series “Everybody’s Live With John Mulaney,” which is inspired by his limited series “Everybody’s in LA” from 2024. “I will have the most successful talk show in world history.” Mulaney explained, “Netflix and I discussed this summer not being done with the show, and I was thrilled to do that. It was a total blast and it was one of those shows that neither Netflix nor I really needed to do. I never wanted to host a talk show, and they were getting out of the talk show game. So it was the perfect moment to do this.  “And I just heard Robert F Kennedy Jr. say during the confirmation …

In India, Catholic women evangelists live up to Pope Francis’ call for female leadership

In India, Catholic women evangelists live up to Pope Francis’ call for female leadership

MEGHALAYA, India (RNS) — Eight days before Christmas last year, Senseful Dkhar, a 55-year-old schoolteacher, led her fellow Catholics in prayer at a small village church in the northeastern corner of India, where the terrain changes from the lush Garo Hills to the highland meadows of the West Khasi Hills. It’s not unusual for women to lead prayers in this district, home to the Indigenous Khasi community, one of the world’s few remaining matrilineal societies. Women are the primary custodians of their families, properties and wealth among the Khasi, though they have historically been shut out of public life.  But recently Khasi women, along with women of other local cultures, have taken on new responsibilities in Catholic churches in the region, acting as catechists, leading parish councils and shaping pastoral life as spiritual counselors. “Women are no longer confined to their homes,” said Dkhar. “They are leading church services, guiding the faithful and sensitizing people about our religion and culture.” The prominence of women is in keeping with Pope Francis’ frequently stated desire to put …

Dave Chappelle’s Sincere Plea on ‘Saturday Night Live’

Dave Chappelle’s Sincere Plea on ‘Saturday Night Live’

The four-time host took a break from punching down to deliver a timely message. Will Heath / NBC January 19, 2025, 5 PM ET No matter how much has changed over the past decade, one thing remains true: Saturday Night Live never brings in Dave Chappelle for a filler episode. The comedian has now hosted the show four times in just more than eight years, each stint coming on the heels of a pivotal election. Last night, in the SNL installment preceding President-Elect Donald Trump’s second inauguration on Monday, Chappelle opened his monologue by detailing his attempts to turn down the daunting gig this time around. The SNL creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels had apparently tried persuading Chappelle to again take the stage following the 2024 presidential election; Chappelle spent the several weeks prior to and after Trump’s reelection rejecting the offer. He eventually relented, he said, so that “I could just get rid of all these old Trump jokes and start fresh.” That lead-in suggested that Chappelle might spend the rest of his …

Everything You Need to Know About Saturday Night Live: A Deep Dive into Every Season of the Iconic Comedy Show

Everything You Need to Know About Saturday Night Live: A Deep Dive into Every Season of the Iconic Comedy Show

Sat­ur­day Night Live began its 50th sea­son last fall, around the same time as the pre­miere of Jason Reit­man’s film Sat­ur­day Night, which dra­ma­tizes the pro­gram’s 1975 debut. All of this has put fans into some­thing of a ret­ro­spec­tive mood, espe­cial­ly if they hap­pen to have been tun­ing in since the very begin­ning. For oth­ers, SNL is a show they haven’t been watch­ing all that long, used to watch, or watched at one time and have start­ed watch­ing again. With its ever-chang­ing cast, writ­ers, sketch con­cepts, and over­all comedic sen­si­bil­i­ty, it’s nev­er remained the same for too long at a stretch, and though many view­ers have their favorite sea­sons, few grasp the full sweep of its his­to­ry as a tele­vi­sion insti­tu­tion. Now, any­one can get a sense of SNL in its entire­ty with Every­thing You NEED to Know About Sat­ur­day Night Live, a YouTube series that, true to its title, recounts the show’s most notable per­form­ers, char­ac­ters, inno­va­tions, trou­bles, and moments planned or oth­er­wise (often the lat­ter, giv­en the nature of the broad­cast). Each sea­son …

After Paul-Tyson Fight, EverWonder Plans Podcasts, Live Events

In the summer of 2023, Ian Orefice exited as the president of Time Studios to launch his own venture: EverWonder Studios. The production company had the backing of Jeff Zucker’s RedBird IMI, but it was an enormous risk: At a moment when it seemed like every network and streaming service was pulling back on content spend, what would the market look like for a new entrant? “We had just launched, and I was sitting in the office,” Orefice recalls of those first few weeks. “It was me and literally one other person, and I had gone from a very big company and a very big ecosystem to me and one other person and thinking, ‘We have a lot of good building blocks, but how are we going to really make this happen? How long is that going to take?’” A little over a year later, and Orefice’s company finds itself at the intersection of some of the biggest pop culture moments of the year. EverWonder produced Netflix’s blockbuster Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight, which …
