Project Hail Mary Breaks Box Office Gravity
There is a moment—quiet, almost easy to miss—when a theater stops behaving like a marketplace and starts breathing like a single organism. Not the usual roar, not the hollow thunder of spectacle, but something tighter, more intimate. A held breath. A calculation unfolding in real time behind hundreds of eyes. That is where Project Hail Mary found its audience. Not in noise. In attention. And attention, in today’s box office economy, is the rarest currency left. The numbers came in like a contradiction. Week after week, the film refused to taper off the way industry models insist it must. Not a spike and collapse, not a front-loaded surge engineered by hype, but something steadier, stranger—l… |

Mad as Hell and Tired of Dictators
Letter to the Editor Title: Mad as Hell and Tired of Dictators Author Tim Crestin Look, I ain’t no professor. I’m just a guy who works with his hands. Welding torch, pizza boxes, grocery aisles—you name it, I’ve done it. I’m scrappin’ pennies for journalism school ’cause I still believe words matter. But lemme tell ya, right now I feel like I belong on another planet. This one? It’s busted.

Foreign element caused recall of 90000 bottles of child ibuprofen
Federal regulators have ordered a nationwide recall of nearly 90,000 bottles of children’s ibuprofen after contamination was discovered in two production lots. The medicine, manufactured by Strides Pharma and distributed by Taro Pharmaceuticals, was pulled from circulation following complaints of “gel-like masses and black particles” in the liquid suspension. The Food and Drug Administration confirmed the recall earlier this month, classifying it as a Class II event—meaning the risk of serious harm is considered remote, but temporary or reversible health effects are possible. Parents are being urged to stop using the affected bottles immediately, which carry expiration dates of January 31, 2… |

At least three dead with a dozen injured in prison riot in Georgia
Early Sunday afternoon, Sheriff Joel Cochran told local station WRDW that several fights broke out inside the facility in Davisboro in Washington County, Georgia, which resulted in 13 inmates being taken to the hospital. The prison is located around 50 miles southeast of Augusta. While the fight was between inmates, one guard was potentially injured, according to Cochran. The Washington County Coroner confirmed two deaths had occurred initially from the fight, and a third individual died later on Sunday evening. “It’s not uncommon for these things to happen at correctional facilities; however, I think it has been quite some time since we’ve had to come to an incident this large,” Cochran sai… |

The fourteen-Year-Old American Boy Who Invented Television
I was fourteen, and most days I smelled like dirt, grease, and hay. That’s what happens when you grow up on a farm in Idaho—you work, you sweat, you get yelled at for tracking mud into the kitchen. My family expected me to plow fields, not invent anything. But I had a habit of thinking while my hands were busy, and that habit changed the world. The tractor was waiting that afternoon, already hot from the sun. I climbed on, gripped the wheel, and started across the field. The job was simple: drive straight, turn, line up, cut another row. Over and over. Mary Elaine was standing in the field watching me like she had nothing better to do. She was my girlfriend, though she’d never admit it out l… |

Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann sentenced to life in prison without parole for killing 8 women over 2 decades
Rex Heuermann, the Gilgo Beach serial murderer, was sentenced to life in prison without parole, bringing an emotional finish to a decades-long murder case that tormented Long Island. Families clapped and applauded in the courtroom Wednesday when Judge Timothy Mazzei imposed the sentence. “You are disgusting — a despicable man if you are a man at all,” the judge told Heuermann. “And you are a coward.” At sentence, Heuermann was allowed to speak and declared, “I am guilty of everything that was said in this room. What I would say is meaningless.” “Are you even a little bit sorry?” “Yes,” Mazzei inquired, and Heuermann nodded and seemed to say. Heuermann’s ex-wife Asa Ellerup and their two grow… |

Pilot says he woke up in downtown Denver hotel to find bat in his room and bite on his foot
The alleged bat encounter now makes it difficult for the pilot to sleep in hotels, his attorney says Removed from bookmarks A commercial pilot is suing a downtown Denver hotel after a bat allegedly sunk its teeth into his foot, leaving him with a bite he claims cost him more than $100,000 in medical bills. The alleged August 2025 incident happened while the pilot was staying on the 22nd floor of the Sheraton Denver Hotel Downtown.

Behind the moon for 40 minutes the greatest solitude humans have known
This is read by an automated voice. Please report any issues or inconsistencies here. The crescent Earth — our oasis holding everything we cherish, now just a speck in the infinite blackness — seemed to kiss the jagged lunar surface. The moon’s thousands of scars projected themselves across the Earth as it slowly slipped out of sight. “I’m actually getting chills right now just thinking about it,” said Artemis II Cmdr. Reid Wiseman, talking to The Times while still in space Wednesday evening (Earth time). “It was just an unbelievable sight, and then it was gone.” For 40 minutes Monday, it was just them, their high-tech lifeboat and the moon. The crew members paused their rigorous scientific … |

US judge blocks Trumps 2bn anti weaponization fund
A United States federal judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s nearly $1.8bn “anti-weaponisation fund” to compensate victims of alleged government “lawfare”. On Friday, US District Judge Leonie Brinkema of the Eastern District of Virginia blocked the Trump administration from “taking any further action” to set up or operate the fund while she hears legal arguments. The judge, who was nominated to the bench by President Bill Clinton, scheduled a June 12 hearing about whether to extend the order blocking payouts. The Department of Justice announced the fund last week as part of an agreement to settle a lawsuit brought on behalf of Donald Trump, in his personal capacity, against… |

Lindsay Clancy breaks down in tears when the 911 call of her husband She killed the kids is played
Over the course of several interviews, Patrick Clancy has expressed his willingness to forgive his ex-wife, whom he considers to be unwell rather than malevolent. On Wednesday, Lindsay Clancy broke down in tears in court as the jury listened to the approximately seven-minute 911 call that her husband made after returning to an unusually quiet home, only to discover that she had strangled their three children. According to the prosecution, she had asked Patrick Clancy to make a quick trip to a pharmacy to pick up some prescription and take out some food. However, the prosecution claims that this request was nothing more than a pretext to get him out of the house. During the time that the jury… |

The Iran strikes could become a midterm reckoning for Trump and Israel
It is clear that the latest United States-Israel-Iran war stands to fundamentally reshape the politics of the Middle East. Less obvious is its immediate impact on US politics, especially the 2026 midterm elections and the durability of US support for Israel. While the core of US President Donald Trump’s base has come out in support of the joint US-Israel strikes, some influential figures on the American right have denounced them. These condemnations have heightened tensions already at play within the MAGA (Make America Great Again) base, and dovetail with conservative concerns about Israel’s influence over US foreign policy. With the midterm elections approaching, this is not a good time for… |

They Married When He Was Supposed to Die
Human Interest He was dying, and it was the saddest thing for their relatives, friends, and even the hospital staff. Most of all, Arlaine, his longtime girlfriend, was with him in the hospital. They'd been together for decades before the illness. Now, the room smelled of antiseptic and overripe flowers—the kind people buy when they’re afraid they’ve waited too long. The lights were too bright, and the machines emitted steady, monotonous noises. Bendigo Davies lay flat on his back, staring at a ceiling he hadn’t chosen, while Arlaine stood beside him, holding his hand like it was the last solid thing in the room. But they looked and admired each other, the smiles hiding dreadful worry. They h… |

The Epstein Files and the Machinery of Forgetting
Editorial The first instinct of power, when threatened, is not denial but delay. Delay until outrage exhausts itself, until headlines thin, until the public grows bored or distracted or numb. The newly unsealed Jeffrey Epstein-related documents land in public view with the weight of something both familiar and unfinished, a reminder not merely of a disgraced financier and the crimes that orbited him, but of how expertly the machinery of forgetting has been engineered. These files do not arrive as a revelation in the cinematic sense. There is no single smoking gun, no neat moral closure. Instead, they arrive like sediment, layer upon layer of testimony, allegation, recollection, and evasion. … |

Will Marco Rubio Last As Secretary Of State
Editorial A cabinet room is not built for silence. Cameras hum, chairs shift, the choreography of agreement unfolds before anyone speaks. Praise is currency there, but it is never free. When Donald Trump turned toward Marco Rubio after the Munich speech, smiling, approving, and joking that he was doing so well he might be fired, the line landed the way these lines always do—laughter first, interpretation later. The remark lived in that peculiar space Trump has mastered, where humor is both shield and message, where admiration carries a reminder about gravity: the center must remain the center. Rubio smiled. Politicians learn that smile early, the one that acknowledges the joke while absorbin… |

How OC Innovators Are Winning the Last Mile of Artificial Intelligence
For years, the artificial intelligence conversation was dominated by a handful of technology giants investing billions into massive data centers, specialized chips and large language models. But a different story is unfolding in Orange County, where a growing wave of “AI-native” startups is proving that innovation doesn’t always require building the foundation models themselves. Instead, local entrepreneurs are focusing on what many industry observers call the “last mile” of AI: applying increasingly accessible open-source and commercial AI models to solve highly specific business problems. The result is a surge in enterprise workflow automation and industry-specific AI applications that are… |

Will America Go To War With NATO Over Greenland
Feature Editorial The United States is now openly challenging NATO, which theoretically could lead to WW3. What began as a crude discussion about purchasing has evolved into strategic pressure, which often transcends boundaries when power disregards its obligations. This conflict is no longer solely about Arctic bases or melting ice lanes; it raises the critical question of whether the United States is willing to fracture the very system it established, whether an alliance built to stop war can hold when the danger comes from the United States itself. The Arctic used to feel distant, a white silence at the edge of maps where ambition froze before it could speak. That illusion is gone. Greenl… |
