gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-08-21 12:00:22

We don’t know much about the future of James Gunn’s DC Universe, but one thing seems all but certain: Superman will be back. He’s the universe’s most powerful metahuman, after all, and one of the most famous, popular characters on the DC roster. Clearly, he’s going to have a role to play in whatever is coming next.

OpenAI has a message for anyone who thinks they’re about to cash in on the AI boom by buying a new “OpenAI token” on Robinhood: Don’t. But in a chaotic turn, Elon Musk just suggested that even the company’s real equity might be an illusion. The maker of ChatGPT, in a rare public warning posted on X (formerly Twitter), disavowed any involvement with crypto-like financial products claiming to offer a piece of its business. “These ‘OpenAI tokens’ are not OpenAI equity,” the company wrote. “We did

Senate Republicans on Tuesday passed President Donald Trump’s sprawling tax and spending package, known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” paving the way for a major overhaul of the country’s Medicaid program. If passed by the House, which could happen before the July Fourth holiday, millions of people stand to lose their health insurance. The number of people without health insurance in the United States nearly halved from 2013 to 2023, falling from around 14 percent to a record low of less than

Bitcoin enthusiasts have been perplexed lately. Why is the price so stagnant, even with all the hype created by guys like President Donald Trump? The White House has largely been seen as enacting a pro-crypto agenda and even got its first crypto czar in David Sacks, after all. You’d think prices would be soaring.
