Rosemary, the four-year-old, woke up first. She told my brother-in-law, Lance, that there was something on the roof. Seven of us were at my family’s river house on the Guadalupe, between Ingram and Hunt, for the Fourth. Our little stretch of river is wide, green, cool, deep, and slow. It is some of the best swimming anywhere and one of the most beautiful spots in Texas, as far as I’m concerned.

New Law Would Force Aging Members of Congress to Take Cognitive Tests

futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-13 16:21:36

The United States is changing fast. Lawmakers are being forced to grapple not just with timeless questions of governance, but often with novel and rapidly-changing policy issues ranging from cryptocurrency regulation to tech monopolies to app-based labor. That quickly shifting landscape has some doubting whether the country's aging lawmakers are up for the increasingly complicated task. The issue is stark, with a larger percentage of Congress over the age of 70 than ever before, and a long stri

Circle Internet Group Initial Public Offering at the New York Stock Exchange in New York City, U.S., June 5, 2025. Circle shares slid on Tuesday after the U.S. House of Representatives failed to clear a key procedural hurdle that would have teed up votes on long-awaited crypto-related bills.

Starlink has brought high-speed internet to millions of rural Americans for the first time. It’s also one of the most expensive internet service providers in the country. So, how is it available in New York for just $15 a month? If it wants to sell internet in the state, it doesn’t have a choice. That’s thanks to the Affordable Broadband Act, a New York state law passed in January.

Matthias Winkelmann's company decided to go the ole' outsourcing route and hand off all development work for a fixed-bid project to a certain overseas company. As it turned out, the hourly rate for certain overseas programmers were less than half that of the in-house folks, so management did the math and figured they could profit that much more.

Blumhouse Thinks It May Have Overestimated M3GAN’s Versatility

After the smash success of 2022’s M3GAN, it was easy to assume the inevitable sequel would do the same. But M3GAN 2.0 has yet to catch on like its predecessor, so far yielding disappointing box-office returns and putting talk of a trilogy, not to mention a M3GAN cinematic universe beyond next year’s sexbot spin-off, SOULM8TE, in doubt.
