Quick Glance: Taylor Swift's New Album 'The Tortured Poets Department' Needs an Editor: Review
- Taylor Swift's 11th studio album delves into her recent romances over 16 songs and a second LP, but the recurring themes yield diminishing returns.
- Swift's stretch of productivity and commercial success was also emotionally tumultuous, as revealed in her album 'The Tortured Poets Department.'
- The album returns to autobiographical and sometimes spiteful tales of heartbreak, full of detailed, referential lyrics that Swift's fans will delight in decoding.
- The first two songs of the album serve as potent reminders of how viscerally Swift can summon the flushed delirium of a doomed romance, with the title track showcasing a humanizing touch.

Quick Glance: Huge marine reptile fossils discovered by British girl and father
- A fossil jawbone found by a British girl and her father on a beach in Somerset, England belongs to a gigantic marine reptile from the Triassic Period.
- Researchers estimated that the marine reptile, named Ichthyotitan severnensis, was between 22 and 26 meters long, making it one of the largest known marine reptiles.
- Ichthyotitan was part of a family of giant ichthyosaurs called Shastasauridae and survived until a global mass extinction event about 201 million years ago.
- The discovered bone fragment, the surangular, hints at the size and bite force of the animal, emphasizing the importance of each species in the delicate fabric of life.
