"Movies established their cultural worth, and their merit as a form of entertainment and art for adults very early on," says Smith. "Comic books and games both started as juvenile junk food; they both scared parents and governments into thinking the medium would rot the brains of children; and both have struggled to shake off that image even as they've diversified."

Eventually we will reach a point where gaming can be understood using its own language. There will always be specialist terms, but as the medium matures it will become embedded in our cultural landscape. One of the side effects will be that terminology and basic concepts will filter into the collective consciousness – ones encompassing the art house bracket as well as the mega-budget shoot-em-ups. Until then, borrowing the language of other art forms may be the best way to describe what we’re playing.

Disney's remake of the 1989 animated classic is live action – or as life-like as a story about a half-human, half-fish princess can be. Halle Bailey, who sings with her sister as the group Chloe x Halle, plays Ariel, longing to grow legs so she can join her prince on land. The starry cast includes Melissa McCarthy as Ursula the sea witch, Javier Bardem as Ariel's father, King Triton, and Daveed Diggs as Sebastian the crab (you can almost hear him singing Under the Sea already). Along with the original songs by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, there are four new ones by Menken and Lin-Manuel Miranda. The director, Rob Marshall, is familiar with fairy tales, having directed the films Into the Woods and Mary Poppins Returns. (CJ)

Few milieus are more mystifying to outsiders than the world of high finance, but while this BBC/HBO series about London graduate bankers has its fair share of incomprehensible jargon, it is never less than entirely gripping. In fact, this year's second series was even better than the first, as its young protagonists turned into ever more complex, morally compromised characters – from inscrutable American Harper, forging a connection with an eccentric tech billionaire, to privileged West Londoner Yasmin, out to really assert herself but dragged down by her noxious father, and Robert, now sober but still battling with serious demons. With its high quotient of s*x, drugs and excellent dance tunes, it also manages to be racy without feeling gratuitously so, convincingly capturing a state of being where constant hangovers are set off by the desperate need to succeed. Bring on series three. (HM)

Compared with land transport, a plane requires a lot more energy, says Agnes Jocher, a professor at the Technical University of Munich, whose research explores sustainable future mobility. The result is a disproportionate climate impact compared to alternatives (trains and ferries, to name a few).

In a 2019 report on reducing emissions through behaviour change, Richard Carmichael, a social sciences researcher at Imperial College London, observed that flying was a "uniquely high-impact activity" and "the quickest and cheapest way for a consumer to increase their carbon footprint".

A 21st-Century retelling of Nancy Mitford's classic The Pursuit of Love, India Knight's novel Darling transposes the original to the bohemian household of Alconleigh farm in Norfolk. Our narrator is Franny, and teenage Linda Radlett lives with her rock-star father Matthew, ethereal mother Sadie, and her many siblings. It is an ambitious idea but, according to The Guardian, "Knight rises to that challenge with aplomb… Darling is a very human book, full of feelings and heartbreak and humour and joy". Meanwhile, iNews says that the characters are depicted with an "enveloping warmth", and the novel is "an absolute hoot". It concludes: "This is a gorgeously bittersweet portrait of growing up, where happiness is only ever fleeting." (LB)

artist Amy Sherald was chosen to paint Michelle Obama for The Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery in Washington. The portrait, which was completed in 2018, sees the former first lady portrayed in Sherald's signature style: a grey skin tone, a simple backdrop (in this case a plain blue one) and a fashionable outfit that exemplifies the sitter's character. The US fashion designer Michelle Smith created the high-neck maxi dress that Obama wears for the painting, with an abstract print that echoes Piet Mondrian's geometric paintings. Discussing her Smithsonian piece in a recent interview, Sherald called Obama an icon. "She represents for me and a lot of women what 21st-Century womanhood looks like," she says. The painting catapulted the artist into a new realm.

While the 49-year-old is often seen as an overnight success, in actuality, her star status has come from decades of perfecting her craft.

For Monica Khemsurov and Jill Singer, the founders of online design magazine Sight Unseen, the pandemic brought about a newfound appreciation for the myriad objects they had both accumulated over the years. "We were sitting in our homes and our objects were really bringing us comfort, and making us feel less lonely," Khemsurov tells BBC Culture. This sparked the idea for the duo's book, How to Live with Objects: A Guide to More Meaningful Interiors, published this week, in which she and Singer offer up their tips on "how to maximise the visual and emotional impact of your space" through objects.

This involves taking a more intentional approach to both acquiring and living with objects, prioritising heartfelt connection over what Khemsurov dubs a "keeping up with the Joneses" attitude. "It's the basic idea that an object can very easily become imbued with meaning and memories," she says.

Not all dinosaurs were necessarily warm-blooded, of course. There's evidence that their body temperatures may have varied by as much as 17C (31F) depending on the group, from as little as 29C to 46C (115-84F). For comparison, most mammals lie in the range of 36 to 40C (97-104F), while birds are significantly warmer, spanning 41 to 43C (105-109F).

But nevertheless, the implications are huge. Endothermic animals typically share certain characteristics, such as faster growth rates and a requirement for more food. But crucially, it was thought this is what allowed some groups to survive the global cooling historically blamed for the dinosaurs' extinction. If the mammals and birds could handle it, why not the Arctic dinosaurs?

An outbreak of measles in the Netherlands in 2013 provided an opportunity to test this theory. It started among an Orthodox Protestant community, who refused vaccination on religious grounds, and eventually infected 2,600 people. Years later, scientists investigated blood samples taken from patients – and confirmed that they contained memory T cells infected with measles.

A bewildering paradox

But this was not the end of the story. The team mostly found the receptor measles binds to on a specific kind of immune cell, the memory T cell. Their job is to remain in the body for decades after an infection, quietly looking out for the specific pathogen each one was trained to target. So, measles actively infects the only cells that can remember what the body has encountered before.
