Four movies about The Beatles are currently in production. There will be one movie for each Beatle, and director Sam Mendes has said that the four movies will be the "first binge-able theatrical experience." No one has explained exactly what this means yet. Will all four be ...

I was a Mystery Kid, and every Mystery Kid knows how that goes. Only stories of remarkable children—Nancy Drew, Frank and Joe Hardy, Encyclopedia Brown—could enliven my unremarkable life. Recently I was marveling to my parents that so many Encyclopedia Brown storie...

Harry Enten: Trump's net approval rating is low and it is staying low. He is stuck below the ground.

I love Europe. I should probably establish that before proceeding. But I have just spent roughly four hours of my life queuing at Geneva Airport, which gives a man plenty of time to contemplate European technology policy, his own mortality, and whether it would be quicker simply to walk back to England. The cause was […]

Cattle rancher: Dumping foreign beef that is not handled the same way as ours onto our marketplace does not do anything for the American rancher. We don't see how bringing this foreign beef into our country is actually going to get prices down.

BYD posted its first quarterly profit increase in more than a year, with second-quarter net profit rising 29.8% to 8.2 billion yuan ($1.22 billion) as a record surge in exports offset a weak Chinese market.

The rebound ends four straight quarters of profit declines and reverses the 55.4% collapse BYD reported just three months earlier.

Welcome back, students and parents, for another, possibly the last, functioning school year! Both the literacy crisis and moral deterioration of our leaders pretty much guarantee our school will be shuttered soon. But in the meantime, we hope to have a well-rounded, fun year...

New York Times: “A House race in Arizona pits Jay Feely, a former Jets kicker, against Amish Shah, a former sideline doctor for the team. Jets fans in the district say it’s a welcome distraction from all the losing.”

The Economist: “In these waning summer days of waxing Democratic optimism, of rising hope within the party that it will regain some power in Washington and start to overcome a national reputation for elitism and ineptitude, no state seems more pregnant with possibility than Ohio.” “Once a bellwether for national politics, Ohio has trended solidly […]

“The U.S. government said this week it seized digital infrastructure behind a Chinese hacking operation that targeted NASA, the Federal Reserve, and the Senate beginning in 2018, evidence, experts say, that illustrates the growing scale and persistence of Beijing’s cyber operations,” Semafor reports.

A recent paper argues that AI is often better at doctoring than doctors. Guess who isn't thrilled.

Yours truly back in February 2025: The motivation behind the name change is simple as well. Trump didn’t change the US’s officially recognized name of, say, the Atlantic Ocean or the continent of Africa. He just as easily could, but he won’t. I’m starting to worry how ...

Death for the Idea, 1915 #klee #paulklee

According to a new report from the New York Times, President Donald Trump is planning to skip the 25th anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero in New York. The reasons behind his decision are even more pathetic and self-absorbed than I expected.

The Times' Maggie Haberman, Zolan Kanno-Youngs, Dana Rubinstein, and Sally Goldenberg reported that for a time, Trump had indicated that he intended to attend the somber event in Manhattan. He even went so far as to make multiple advance visits to the site.
