The FTC is suing Ticketmaster for illegally ‘coordinating’ with brokers

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-09-19 03:37:40

The latest targets in the White House’s on-again-off-again antitrust war are Ticketmaster and Live Nation, two villains that everyone appears to agree on. The Federal Trade Commission is accusing Ticketmaster (which owns Live Nation) of allowing ticket brokers to illegally exceed limits on purchases and then profiting off the inflated resale value. Customers often pay significantly more than the face value because resellers have snatched up all the tickets. And when a ticket is resold through Ti

18 Sep, 2025 We have all been there. Your software keeps growing and you feel the need to make it customizable. It is too soon for a full-blown UI with all the bells and whistles, so your pragmatic instinct suggests a text-based configuration file. Yes, that’s exactly it!

The streaming giant won three Oscars in 2025, and action-thriller Rebel Ridge just nabbed an Emmy Award this week for Best TV Movie (the sentimental Vince Vaughn comedy Nonnas was nominated in the same category and is worth a watch, too).

Usually, there are sports movies and there are horror movies, and the two don’t really cross over. In Friday the 13th, Jason Voorhees wears a hockey mask, but he doesn’t take a slap shot. A killer might swing a baseball bat, but they aren’t stepping up to the plate. Him, the new film from Justin Tipping, is one of the first, and maybe biggest, films to ever blend horror and sports, which, just for that, is worth being excited about.

These Smoked Human Remains May be the Oldest Mummies Known to Science

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-09-19 19:13:53

Researchers have discovered what they believe to be the earliest evidence of artificial mummification known to science, pushing back the timeline for the burial ritual to far before the time of the ancient Egyptians. Hunter-gatherers in Southeast Asia who lived some 20,000 and 4,000 years ago buried their dead in tightly crouched or squatting positions. Not only that, but these communities also practiced a form of mummification that involved drying out the human remains over a fire, as research

A new Megalopolis documentary reveals why it turned out like that

It’s been almost exactly a year since I first saw Megalopolis, and the last 12 months haven’t been kind to Francis Ford Coppola’s long-gestating epic. It mostly bewildered critics and audiences, earned back just a fraction of its $120 million budget, and still isn’t easily accessible via streaming or a Blu-ray release. Megalopolis is a film that the Godfather director had been thinking about for decades before the cameras started rolling, and that post-release chaos is nothing compared to what a
