LSU baseball strength and conditioning coach Derek Groomer dives deep into the data for his Bayou Bengals. When it comes to evaluation and preparation, there are no generalities. Each player’s biomechanics get logged and tracked. No details are left out—Groomer even measures the toe habits in each player’s walking stride. It’s a tireless approach that yields stacks and stacks of information on each player. But is the juice worth the squeeze? Just ask Groomer, whose subjects are now in Omaha to play in the College World Series for the first time in six years. The answer seems fairly obvious, given…
An unopened bottle of wine can last years, with most getting even better with age. However, as soon as you open the bottle, you’re drastically shortening this alcoholic beverage’s lifespan.

DC’s cinematic universe is going through some major changes. In 2022 DC announced James Gunn and Peter Safran as co-CEOs of DC Studios, most likely in a move to start crafting DC’s path to adapting its many famous and notable superhero characters to the screen in a way that can match competitor Marvel’s interconnected, multifaceted MCU. The DCEU—which began with Man of Steel and included the likes of Suicide Squad, Justice League, and Black Adam—seems to be no more, as James Gunn said in a recent Instagram video.

Without legs due to a birth defect, Clarke had trouble finding gyms that he could independently navigate around,…

You’ve probably heard it on repeat: For proper sun protection, you need to reapply, reapply, reapply that SPF. Specifically, you should aim to touch up your sunscreen every two hours when you’re chilling outside, and even more frequently if you’re swimming or sweating, as SELF previously reported. That sounds easy enough—especially if you’re bumming it at the beach, say, or dedicating your whole afternoon to lounging in a park. But for those of us who wear makeup, there’s a problem: How the heck are you supposed to slather goopy sunscreen on your face without ruining the foundation, blush, and bronzer you…
