Kim Jong Un led the celebrations, and players wept with joy, as Asian club soccer’s newest women’s champions toasted a continental conquest that caps a remarkable run for North Korea’s female footballers. Pyongyang-based Naegohyang Women’s FC lifted the Asian Champions League trophy last month, on enemy soil in South Korea. Their reclusive nation is also reigning world champion in under-17s and under-20s women’s soccer. At a celebratory exhibition match last week in the capital, under the watchful eye of the supreme leader, Naegohyang faced off against the under-17s team, who just added an Asian Cup to their impressive array of silverware, trouncing Japan 5-1 in the final.

A Lancome employee recently swabbed under my eyes and took a hyper-zoomed photo of my forehead, already shiny and flaking. Then she inserted my protein samples into the company’s Cell BioPrint machine, which gave its verdict in horrifying, flashy red letters: I was suffering from accelerated aging. Though I was born 27 years ago, I supposedly had the skin of someone who was 28. Not bad, I thought, until I saw I was already at an elevated risk for sagging skin and pores. That’s how I was introduced to Lancome’s first foray into longevity products. Instead of making you look younger and correcting existing issues, longevity products seek to preserve and maintain the health of your body’s largest organ, the skin.

For those in Gen Z, life can be a bit of a monster — an uncertain economy, regular school shootings, a global pandemic. That’s why, with “Obsession” and “Backrooms,” they have twice recently been lured to the theater with the promise of made-for-them scares — a reminder of how hard but satisfying it can be when filmmakers dream up horrors for a generation stuck in a nightmare reality. “The genre of horror has kind of shifted with Gen Z, where it’s exploring some darker real life concepts sometimes rather than just the gore and things like that,” Lauren Cook, a therapist and author of “Generation Anxiety: A Millennial and Gen Z Guide for Staying Afloat in Uncertain Times,” said.

When Elena Vladimirovna woke up around 4 a.m. to the sound of loud buzzing over her Moscow region apartment, she looked out of the window to see multiple drones overhead. The noise quickly faded, and she thought the danger had passed. But then came a loud bang from close by. “Below us, under the balcony, there is a canopy like a ledge. The drone fell on this canopy, and then it burst into flames, black smoke started coming,” she recalled. A room in her fifth-floor apartment caught fire.
