gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2026-01-28 16:45:00

Practical Magic 2 is already sky-high on our list of most-anticipated 2026 releases. The 1998 original follows the romantic misadventures of the witchy Owens sisters, played by Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman—and has since become a Halloween-adjacent cult classic. It maybe didn’t need a sequel, but Hollywood knows that fans have long wanted one. And now we know more of the names joining Bullock and Kidman this time around.

We Just Got a Major Clue About Why Twitter's CEO Suddenly Left This Week

futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-28 18:16:33

We still don't know why Linda Yaccarino stepped down as CEO of X on Tuesday. Her sudden abdication came off the back of a legendarily horrific freakout by the AI Grok, which saw the chatbot make a series of egregiously racist statements, claiming to be "MechaHitler" and praising Nazis over the course of a chaotic day. But if Yaccarino was fed up with what was going on at the company, she didn't show it. Her announcement was cheery, and her boss Elon Musk gave a curt thanks for her two years of
