arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-11 21:59:41

Last year, X won its fight to block a California law requiring social media companies to report on efforts to remove hate speech and other kinds of content the state deemed harmful. Now, X has sued to stop New York from enforcing a law that it claims is a "carbon copy" of California's—which resulted in a settlement blocking the California law after a court ruled it likely violated the First Amendment. In a complaint filed Tuesday, X revealed that the New York lawsuit came after New York lawmak

F1 The Movie is shaping up to be Apple’s biggest film gamble ever. But if critics’ reviews are any indication of success, that bet could pay off big at the box office this summer. Here’s what reviews are saying. F1 The Movie has all the makings of a great summer blockbuster, per reviews Apple has largely gotten away from theatrical film debuts, preferring instead to premiere its new movies directly on Apple TV+.

Over the last few days, temperatures in central Alaska have reached 86 degrees Fahrenheit (that's 30 Celsius). It's not as if Alaska never gets hot in the summer.

Musk's Daring Gambit Has Managed to Do Something Remarkable: Alienate Democrats AND Republicans

It appears that Elon Musk has seriously overestimated his sustained popularity among his right-wing fans. In another masterful display of cunning, the world's richest man turned coat and viciously lashed out at his former best-friend-in-chief Donald Trump this month. It was a very public affair, as both parties traded blows over social media — and Trump at his many press conferences — but it was Musk who came out looking worse for wear, unable to equal the president's threats, squirming at the
