It’s officially fall in the Northern Hemisphere, but depending on where you are, it might not look like it. From Maine and Vermont to New York, tourists often flock to the U.S. East Coast to see the maple and oak leaves transform into vibrant oranges and reds. Leaves can change color from as early as mid-September all the way through early November. But pay closer attention and you might notice that the color shift isn’t always following that predictable pattern from year to year. Research shows that climate change is already affecting when leaves fall, along with the vibrancy of their colors—a tree that was previously barren by the end of October might still have leaves come November, while a drought-stricken region might see dull, brown leaves that simply crumble…

If you want to take a step toward better health, see a foot doctor. You might learn something about a totally different (and seemingly unrelated) part of your body. Sometimes, “your feet are the first place where you can see warning signs of things like diabetes or vascular disease or even skin cancer,” says Hira Mirza, a podiatrist at CLS Health in Houston. “If you look closely enough, it really is a window to the rest of your health.” We asked experts about the foot-related symptoms you should never ignore—and what some of these issues can reveal about your health. 1. Hair that stops growing on your toes When Anne Sharkey examines patients’ feet, she always checks the hair on their toes—prompting a quizzical reaction. “They’re like, ‘Why are you…

Eli Sharabi’s Hostage, the first memoir of captivity in Gaza in the aftermath of Oct. 7, appeared in Israel in May, just four months after his release; the English translation was published in the U.S. on the second anniversary of the Hamas attack. A taut, immersive chronicle of endurance, the book also serves as a window into the Israeli view of the war. The author was pulled away from his wife and two daughters in the first hours of the attack. For the next 491 days, with rare exceptions, the only people Sharabi saw were other hostages and Hamas militants—the same parties that have remained front and center in the viewfinder of Jewish Israelis for two solid years, even as most of the world shifted its focus to the Palestinian…

Matt and Ross Duffer have been dying to destroy Hawkins for a decade. Their show Stranger Things became a phenomenon when it debuted in 2016 and has achieved unrivaled popularity in a fractured TV landscape. But the identical twin showrunners knew it would stretch credulity if the citizens of their ’80s-era Spielbergian hamlet continued to live in a town overrun by extradimensional threats. So for years, they kept the series’ supernatural showdowns to abandoned malls and far-flung Soviet prisons. But now, in the fifth and final season of Netflix’s biggest show, the brothers can finally unleash hell on Main Street. I step onto the Atlanta set in July 2024, ready to watch the mayhem unfold. It’s day 135, about halfway through filming, and somewhere between 400 and 500 cast and…

Ben Stiller didn’t want to insert himself into his documentary Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost. The actor and director intended to make a movie about his parents, the revered comedic duo of Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, and at first felt “self-conscious” about his own presence. But when he started to show friends the film—which premiered at the New York Film Festival in early October before it’s set to debut in theaters Oct. 17 and on Apple TV+ Oct. 24—he heard a similar refrain: “I’m not really seeing that much of you in it.” He realized he had a role to play. “The thing that was missing was probably my perspective on my parents, but also my perspective on my own relationships as affected by growing up with them,”…

In 1989, the Berlin Wall fell. The Cold War had ended, and it looked like liberal democracy had triumphed. That year, Francis Fukuyama published his famous essay “The End of History,” which posited that with the fall of communism, an international consensus had been reached. No more communism, or fascism; no more theocracy, or monarchies. No more totalitarianism. Democracy had won. The phrase the end of history comes from Hegel, who prophesied that “history” would end when there was no longer ideological competition in world affairs. This was not the end of “events” happening, but the end of history as a struggle for the best way for human beings to govern themselves. After the fall of the wall, dozens of nations in Eastern Europe, Africa, Latin America, and Asia embraced…

Sometimes movies reach us in a place beyond mere assessment: you walk away from the thing you’ve just seen not really knowing if you’d call it good or bad, but you know something has shifted inside you. That’s the effect of A House of Dynamite, directed by Kathryn Bigelow and releasing 15 years after she became the first woman to win the Oscar for Best Director, for The Hurt Locker. The picture is precise, potent, ingeniously constructed. But even though it focuses on the nuts and bolts of how the U.S. government might respond to a nuclear attack, there’s something ghostly and unreal about it too. Without spelling out any grim details, it lays bare all sorts of global realities we don’t want to think about. This is a real-world…

Ron Trosper is losing it. The HBO comedy The Chair Company traces the unraveling of this suburban family man, played by co-creator Tim Robinson, who believes he’s stumbled upon a criminal conspiracy following a minor workplace humiliation. But that conspiracy tends to manifest in the form of universal contemporary annoyances. “You can’t get a hold of anybody,” Ron rants after his investigation leads him into customer-service hell. “That’s the problem with the world today. People make garbage, and you can’t talk to anybody. You can’t complain, you can’t get an apology. I wanna scream at ’em!” The character will be familiar to anyone who knows Robinson’s work. In his Netflix sketch show I Think You Should Leave and recent feature Friendship, the comedian portrays men who are hilariously, uncontrollably angry…

When President Donald Trump launched his re-election campaign, he vowed to deport “the worst of the worst” while blaming migrants for bringing “crime, drugs, misery and death” to the U.S. And since he took office for his second term, a wave of public and sometimes violent arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have taken place across the country. The Trump Administration has insisted that its hard-line immigration agenda is focused on rooting out dangerous criminals to carry out mass deportations as a means of protecting law-abiding Americans. But recent federal data show that more than 70% of detainees held by ICE had no criminal convictions. BY THE NUMBERS Nearly half of the 59,762 people in ICE custody—27,746—had neither a conviction nor pending criminal charges against them, according to…

A woman and child walk by the Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani mosque at the Hamad City residential complex in northwestern Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, on Oct. 6, nearly two years after the Israel-Hamas war began. Representatives from Israel and Hamas, meeting in Egypt on Oct. 8, agreed to the release of all remaining Israeli hostages in return for Palestinian prisoners, and Israeli forces’ pulling back to an agreed line inside the Strip. U.S. President Donald Trump called it “the First Phase of our Peace Plan.” ▶ For more of our best photography, visit time.com/lightbox Photograph by Omar Al-Qattaa—AFP/Getty Images…

Authoritarians historically come for the comics first. In Vladimir Putin’s Russia, satirist Idrak Mirzalizade was jailed and expelled for mocking Russian housing. In Egypt, Bassem Youssef—dubbed the “Jon Stewart of the Arab world”—was forced off the air and into exile after satirizing the country’s leadership. Authoritarians are attacking these folks first because laughter is power. The reason you see so many comedians banding together right now is that we understand that none of us are safe, even those who have an act that isn’t “political.” When Stephen Colbert was targeted earlier this year, I warned that this wasn’t a one-off. Then they came for Jimmy Kimmel. There is no predicting what joke might set off this particular malignant narcissist in chief, so really, who’s to say who is next? The…

The Dozens of people gathered at the fire station one June afternoon quieted when the battalion chief dressed in a heavy blue uniform approached the podium. He was there to bless the fire station’s new baby box, a temperature-controlled bassinet installed in the side of the building where parents could safely and anonymously surrender infants that they felt they could not care for. He led the crowd, sweltering in the 90°F heat, in praying over the box: the 18th in Alabama and 344th in the nation. “Heavenly Father, we come before you to dedicate this safe haven,” he began. “We know that each and every child placed not only in this cradle, but similar cradles across the country, are children you formed in the womb, and we know that you…

The human race is in a sorry state, and here comes Yorgos Lanthimos with an aggressively wicked black comedy to tell us all about it. Haven’t you heard? Many of us no longer get our news from “the news.” We embrace nutty conspiracy theories to justify our own beliefs, and we blindly trust our corporate overlords even as they drain our lifeblood. Not only that, but the bees are dying. These are all good reasons to feel bummed out, but leave it to Lanthimos to express his dismay in the most arch and self-congratulatory way possible. To paraphrase an old Peanuts cartoon, Lanthimos loves mankind; it’s people he can’t stand. Bugonia begins with a plot and a duo of plotters: Jesse Plemons plays Teddy, a sad-eyed loner with a brainnumbing…
