Owen Cooper shares what school will be like after Emmys
Owen Cooper, the star of Adolescence, has become the youngest male winner at the Emmys.
Cooper, who played the role of a troubled teenager Jamie Miller in Netflix’s miniseries, opened up about how will it be like going back to school after the historic win.
As per the Mirror, during the press conference, when asked by a reporter if he would be showing the award off to his classmates, Owen said, “This will get robbed in my school. No chance. I am definitely not taking it to school.”
He also revealed that things were pretty much hyped up when his school mates learned about his rising popularity, however he admitted that now “it’s fine” and things have gotten “calmed down.”
Prior to the award show, in an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Live he went on share how his classmates reacted to his Emmy nomination.
“They’re not staying up until four in the morning,” Cooper said. “They wouldn’t watch it anyway to be fair. They’ve all watched [Adolescence] but they’re not really bothered.”
He also shared that he’ll be heading back to school as soon as possible saying, “I’m back in school on Wednesday… I was in on Tuesday.”
Cooper also admitted that his schoolwork had taken a backseat as his acting career skyrocketed, admitting that school was going “terribly”.
In addition to his big win, Adolescence made a clean sweep as it won for Outstanding Limited Series, Stephen Graham for Lead Actor, Erin Doherty for Lead Actress, Philip Barantini for Outstanding Directing, and both Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne for Outstanding Writing.
Breast cancer survivors often are forced to ask themselves if their diagnosis means that they will be more likely to develop a second, unrelated cancer later in life. While the risk is real, new research suggests that it is relatively small, and depends on the patient’s age at diagnosis, therapy type, and lifestyle factors. A large study published in The BMJ provides particularly important insights, showing that the risk of a second cancer is only slightly higher than in the general population but still significant enough to warrant close follow-up and tailored survivorship care.1

The BMJ study tracked 476,373 women in England who were diagnosed with early invasive breast cancer from 1993 to 2016, all of whom had surgery.1 After 20 years of follow-up, 64,747 women were diagnosed with a second primary cancer. Twenty years after diagnosis, the absolute risk of a second non-breast cancer was 13.6%, which was about 2.1% higher than expected compared with women in the general population. In the case of contralateral breast cancer, or cancer in the opposite breast, the risk was 5.6%, indicating an excess of 3.1% over population estimates. Younger women had higher relative risks than older women, with those diagnosed at age 40 having about a 6% chance of developing a second cancer by age 60.1 It was found that adjuvant therapies like chemotherapy and radiotherapy only marginally fueled the increased risk.
Other recent studies support these findings while adding important context. A large South Korean cohort study using propensity score matching compared patients with breast cancer who underwent radiotherapy with those who were not treated with radiotherapy and found no significant difference in the overall risk of secondary malignant neoplasms, even when the groups were divided by age, latency period, and number of radiation treatments.2 This result indicates that, although radiation has been historically associated with the occurrence of certain second cancers, it may not be as major a source of risk as previously assumed, particularly with the use of modern treatment methods.
On the other hand, a study conducted in a US integrated health care delivery system involving more than 16,000 breast cancer survivors reported that treatment type was a determinant of second cancer risk. The investigators found that the risk of soft tissue sarcoma was elevated after radiotherapy, while that of myelodysplastic syndrome was also increased following chemotherapy. However, the risk of new breast cancer was lower in the group with endocrine therapy.3 This points to the intricate connection between cancer treatments and long-term effects, as well as the vital role of personalized risk counseling.
Lifestyle and modifiable factors can also influence the risk of secondary cancers. A systematic review and meta-analysis concluded that excess body weight is the main cause of the second primary cancers of breast cancer survivors, making obesity and overweight important risk factors.4 This gives pharmacists, along with other healthcare professionals, the chance to provide counseling on weight management as part of the care of the survivors.
Furthermore, the occurrence of second primary cancers has a long-term effect on mortality. Recent research revealed that breast cancer survivors who developed a second malignancy had a 27% greater risk of cancer-related death and an 18% increased risk of all-cause death in comparison to those who did not develop another cancer.5
For pharmacists, these findings carry several practical implications. Cancer survivors should be advised that their total chance of a second cancer is only slightly higher than average but still a matter of concern. Endocrine therapy must be strictly adhered to if prescribed, not only for the purpose of recurrence reduction but also for lowering the risk of a second breast cancer. Pharmacists should actively support adherence, monitor for adverse effects, and provide education on the importance of long-term therapy. Lifestyle counseling is equally important, particularly for weight control, smoking cessation, and alcohol consumption, all of which are factors both for recurrence and secondary cancer risk.
In conclusion, women who survive early invasive breast cancer do carry a small but real increased risk of developing second primary cancers, both in the opposite breast and elsewhere in the body. The absolute excess risk over 20 years is limited; it is usually only 2% to 3% higher than the baseline for non-breast cancers and slightly higher for contralateral breast cancers. Young survivors and those who have been exposed to certain treatments have different risk profiles, and lifestyle factors that can be changed also have an impact on the results. The scientific research in the areas of genetics, treatment exposures, and preventive measures will continue to present risk stratification and enhance the quality of survivorship care.

Several genetic variants associated with social behavior in honey bees are located within genes that have previously been linked to social behavior in humans, Ian Traniello at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA, and colleagues report on September 16th in the open-access journal PLOS Biology. The results hint at ancient roots to social behavior that have been conserved across species.
In social species, there is individual variation in sociability — some individuals are highly social and well-connected within their society, whereas others prefer less social interaction. This variation can be driven by many factors, including mood, social status, previous experience, and genetics. However, the genetic and molecular mechanisms that influence sociability are poorly understood.
Researchers used a combination of genome sequencing, brain gene expression analysis, and behavioral observations to investigate the genetic mechanisms underpinning variation in social behavior in western honey bees (Apis mellifera). They collected adult honeybees from three colonies and attached tiny barcodes to their bodies, enabling automated tracking of their social behaviors within glass-walled observation hives. Whole-genome sequencing of 357 bees revealed 18 genetic variants associated with the tendency to share nutritious liquid with nestmates — a social behavior known as ‘trophallaxis’. Several of those variants were located within two genes, neuroligin-2 and nmdar2, which share a similar sequence to genes that have previously been linked to autism in humans. Transcriptome sequencing also revealed over 900 genes that were more highly expressed in the brain the more frequently a bee interacted with her nestmates.
The results highlight similarities in the genetic mechanisms underpinning social behavior in humans and bees — species that diverged over 600 million years ago. Sociability is a complex characteristic, controlled by many genes, but these shared genomic features suggest there are ancient molecular building blocks of social life that have been conserved through millions of years of evolution, even if humans and bees evolved social life independently, the authors say.
The authors add, “It is a central feature of all societies that group members often engage with one another, but vary in their tendency to do so. Combining automated monitoring of social interactions, DNA sequencing, and brain transcriptomics in honey bee colonies, we identified evolutionarily conserved molecular roots of sociability shared across phylogenetically distinct species, including humans.”
Ian Traniello adds, “Social insects are ideal for whole-colony behavioral tracking, and the technology is such that we can monitor what each bee is doing throughout the majority of her life. In this study, we sought to push things a step forward, thinking, ‘We can follow all of these animals, we know who they’re socially engaging via food-sharing interactions, we know how they move and where they spend their time. The honey bee molecular toolkit is vast and growing, and we can also explore the structure of the genome or gene expression patterns within the brain as they relate to variation in social interactivity.’ We asked: ‘How can we bring these technologies together, to ask general questions about the molecular underpinnings of social organization and test the hypothesis that some of these features might be conserved across species?’ And that’s exactly what we did.”

Skygazers, get ready to head outside and spot the supermoon, coming in October.
NASA says that a supermoon is any moon within 90% of perigee, which occurs when the moon is closest to Earth. During this time, the moon is approximately 226,000 miles away from our planet, roughly 25,000 miles closer than when it is in apogee. The full moon appears on Oct. 6, and you shouldn’t have any trouble seeing it. It’ll be the first of four consecutive supermoons, one each month, as the moon continues its elliptical orbit around Earth.
The benefit for us on Earth is that the moon will appear bigger and brighter than usual. This is the best time to view it outside of a lunar eclipse and the subsequent blood moon.
The moon will appear up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than a micro moon.
NASA/JPL-Caltech
The moon will rise around sunset on Oct. 6, reaching peak illumination at 11:47 p.m. ET. It’ll be the brightest thing in the sky, and you won’t need any help from a magnification device to see it. However, you should probably bring something if you intend to use this opportunity to take some memorable moon photos. The only thing that’ll obscure your view of it is cloud cover.
If you can’t make it outside on Oct. 6, the moon will remain mostly full from Oct. 4 through Oct. 9, so there are plenty of chances to see it.
October’s full moon also has the distinction of being the harvest moon. Typically, September and October share this distinction depending on which month has the full moon closest to the autumn equinox. Thanks to full moons occurring so early in the month right now, that distinction goes to October. During years where September gets the name, October’s full moon is referred to as the hunter’s moon.

This summer, T-Mobile launched its T-Satellite service, which allows you to send text messages and contact emergency services outside cellular coverage areas. The company promised that other apps would be able to work with data on the Starlink network starting in October.
Fall has come early. It’s only September, and several apps on iOS and Android already support T-Satellite data.
With the release of iOS 26, Apple joins Google in offering compatibility with a host of apps — such as mapping, fitness, weather and location sharing utilities — that benefit from connecting in remote areas.
Don’t miss any of our unbiased tech content and lab-based reviews. Add CNET as a preferred Google source.
Satellite communications are extremely limited compared to a phone’s connection to a typical cellular or Wi-Fi network. Apps need to be specifically modified to work with a small stream of data, which is why the service was first available only for the built-in Messages app and for location sharing.
T-Mobile said that its engineering relationships with Google and Apple enabled this initial app support, starting with the Pixel 10 phones.
Here’s the current list of compatible apps:
Apple apps compatible with T-Satellite:
Apple Compass
Apple Fitness
Apple Maps
Apple Messages
Apple Music
Apple Weather
Android apps compatible with T-Satellite:
AccuWeather
AllTrails
CalTopo
Google Find Hub
Google Maps
Google Messages (with Gemini)
Google Personal Safety
onX Backcountry
onX Hunt
onX Offroad
T-Life
WhatsApp

T-Mobile maintains this list on its T-Satellite Support page and will undoubtedly continue to add supported apps to it.
According to Gavin Gee, senior director of product marketing at T-Mobile, the apps will work with T-Satellite regardless of which method of T-Mobile’s satellite service you use. If you have the Experience Beyond plan, it’s included. You can also add T-Satellite as a paid add-on to a different T-Mobile plan and get access to the apps. And if you subscribe to a competitor’s plan but you’ve set up T-Satellite as a standalone service on a secondary eSIM, you’ll also be able to take advantage of the apps.
When Google launched the Pixel 10 with app support more than a month ahead of the planned launch, Gee said that Google was the first out of the gate with the Pixel 10 device. “Frankly, this feature is just too important for us to hold it back,” he said.

A NOTE FROM SCOTT With the 82nd Venice, 52nd Telluride and 50th Toronto film festivals and the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards now in the rearview mirror, the focus of the awards-industrial complex — journalists, publicists and talent — has shifted fully to the race to the 98th Oscars.
Since our last check-in, Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet (Focus) solidified its frontrunner status by winning Toronto’s audience award, with Frankenstein and Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (both Netflix) placing second and third, respectively. Toronto’s audience award is often predictive of best picture Oscar traction — Chariots of Fire, American Beauty, Slumdog Millionaire, The King’s Speech, 12 Years a Slave, Green Book and Zhao’s 2020 film Nomadland all won the former and went on to win the latter — but not always (last year’s winner, The Life of Chuck, faces an uphill climb this season).
Venice, meanwhile, awarded its top prize, the Golden Lion, to Father Mother Sister Brother (Mubi). Among its other winners: Benny Safdie was named best director for The Smashing Machine (A24) and Toni Servillo was chosen as best actor for La Grazia (Mubi).
Back in LA, journalists who were not in Venice, including myself, have just seen Kathryn Bigelow’s A House of Dynamite (Netflix). A directing tour-de-force and true ensemble piece, it will spark the same sort of concern and conversation about the proliferation of nuclear weapons that the 1983 ABC TV movie The Day After — one of the most watched TV programs of all time — did two generations ago.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another (Warner Bros.) has also begun screening in LA. Many journalists caught it last week — I was still in Toronto, so I will be seeing it later this week — and it unspooled for Academy members on Saturday night. Other member screenings last weekend included Kiss of the Spider Woman (Roadside), with Jennifer Lopez in attendance for a post-screening Q&A, and the documentary feature Riefenstahl (Kino Lorber).
And, ahead of the Oct. 1 submission deadline, the best international feature Oscar competition is continuing to shape up. The most significant recent news related to that is Brazil’s submission of The Secret Agent (Neon), which has been playing through the roof at festival and industry screenings, with writer/director Kleber Mendonça Filho and lead actor Wagner Moura both looking like very strong contenders.
Additionally, Poland entered Kafka (still seeking U.S. distribution), the latest film from the great Agnieszka Holland, who has previously had films chosen to represent Poland (2011’s In Darkness, which was nominated, and 2017’s Spoor), West Germany (1985’s Angry Harvest, which was nominated) and the Czech Republic (2020’s Charlatan, which was shortlisted).
Please remember: my forecasts do not necessarily reflect my personal preferences. My aim is not to advocate for what I think the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences should do, but rather to project what they will do. I arrive at my projections by screening many films, analyzing their campaigns, speaking with voters and studying relevant history and stats.

Consumer Reports is calling on Microsoft to extend the October 14th deadline that will cut off free security updates for Windows 10 computers. In a letter to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Consumer Reports says the move will “strand millions of consumers” who have machines incompatible with Windows 11.
As noted by Consumer Reports, data suggests that around 46.2 percent of people around the world still use Windows 10 as of August 2025, while around 200 to 400 million PCs can’t be upgraded to Windows 11 due to missing hardware requirements.
In the letter, Consumer Reports calls Microsoft “hypocritical” for urging customers to upgrade to Windows 11 to bolster cybersecurity, but then leaving Windows 10 devices susceptible to cyberattacks. It also calls out the $30 fee Microsoft charges customers for “a mere one-year extension to preserve their machine’s security,” as well as the free support options that force people to use Microsoft products, allowing the company to “eke out a bit of market share over competitors.”
Consumer Reports asks that Microsoft continue providing support for Windows 10 computers for free until more people have upgraded to Windows 11. A Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) has also petitioned for an extended deadline, saying “as many as 400 million perfectly good computers that can’t upgrade to Windows 11 will be thrown out.”
Actors Marisa Abela and Jamie Bogyo first met when they were in the same year at the prestigious London drama school RADA in 2016. “We were best friends throughout the course, and Jamie finally asked me out when we were graduating in 2019,” Marisa, who is known for her roles in the HBO series Industry and for playing Amy Winehouse in the biopic Back to Black, remembers. “We’ve been together ever since.”
In 2024, Jamie, who has starred in the West End shows The Devil Wears Prada and Moulin Rouge! The Musical, proposed on Primrose Hill. “This was where we met for the very first time at a meet and greet for the class of 2016. He hit on me immediately,” Marisa says. “It was amazing to be back where Jamie had literally walked into my life for the very first time.”
Jamie wanted to ensure the proposal remained a surprise, so he enlisted the help of Marisa’s friend Polly to help create a fake art show that was supposedly happening across the street from Primrose Hill. “Polly marched her up to the top of the hill and ran in the other direction when Marisa finally saw the picnic blanket and Champagne—then I came out of the trees and got on one knee,” Jamie recalls. “[Afterwards,] I took her to dinner at Bocca di Lupo, one of our favourite restaurants in London. I made up some excuse as to why we needed to go downstairs, and all of her family and friends were waiting for us in the private dining room.”
“It was the best day of my life,” Marisa adds. “The next day we already had a holiday planned in Greece, so we sort of had an ‘engagement moon’—we highly recommend it!”
The couple set their wedding date for Saturday, September 13, in East Sussex. “We took a good few months to just enjoy being engaged and celebrate during the summer,” Jamie says. “In September, we started thinking about locations, and we landed in Brighton. Marisa was born and raised there, and it’s where we spent lockdown together.”
At that point, the couple had only been together for two months. “It was a real jump in the deep end to have Jamie move in with me, my mum, and my brother instead of flying back to New York,” Marisa admits. “Miraculously, it worked!” They often spent time taking walks on the Sussex Downs or down by the sea, so Brighton began to feel like home.

The latest one-off iteration of the beloved franchise takes place during the 1960s in the fictional town of Ebisugaoka, Japan. Our protagonist, Hinako Shimizu is a high school student who navigates the sleepy town shrouded in fog — an environmental trope featured in most, if not all, Silent Hill games. Shimizu fights off grotesque monsters and solves mind-bending puzzles in the process while exploring the environment. Similar to other Silent Hill titles, the monsters, environment and even puzzles are manifestations of the main character’s inner struggles.
‘Silent Hill f’
A new Silent Hill game from Konami.
The story is meant to examine the challenges faced by women in 1960s Japan, including gender discrimination. While official reviews of the game haven’t come out yet, it was reported via TheGamePost that an alleged Silent Hill f reviewer gave the game 9.5/10, calling it “genuinely spectacular.”
This marks the first new main-line entry in the Silent Hill franchise since 2012’s Silent Hill: Downpour. The revival of the game franchise and its popularity is largely thanks to the remake of Silent Hill 2 in 2024. The original dropped in 2001, and practically changed the world of survival horror and the gaming landscape forever. It’s Its symbolic storytelling and deep, dark themes made the game a stand-out for the time. Like Silent Hill 2, the 1999 title, Silent Hill, was also a history maker.
While most games used pre-rendering backgrounds, Silent Hill used a third-person view with real-time rendering of 3D environments, something that was virtually unheard of for the time. Players be warned. Silent Hill f, and all the other games in the series, are particularly frightening. We’d say purchase and play with caution.
