Ridley Scott's Apple TV+ crime drama Dope Thief is a perfect weekend binge

The series is praised as an immersive and emotional thriller packed with surprises throughout its run. It marks a rare instance of an Oscar-nominated filmmaker personally directing an episode of a streaming series.

Does Ridley Scott's involvement elevate the quality of streaming series?

Reserve Bank of Australia Ready for Future Crises After Policy Tools Review

Reserve Bank of Australia Assistant Governor Chris Kent said in Sydney that the central bank is better prepared for future crises following a review of alternative monetary policy tools. The cash rate target remains the primary instrument, but additional tools can play an important supporting role during extraordinary times. Kent, who oversees financial markets at the RBA, made the remarks in a speech in Sydney.

Should central banks expand their monetary toolkit beyond the interest rate target?

27,500-Year-Old Teen Mauled by Bear Received Paleolithic Mourning Ritual

Around 27,500 years ago, a 15-year-old boy was fatally mauled by a bear at Arene Candide cave in Liguria, Italy, suffering severe injuries to his jaw, neck and left shoulder. Evidence from the site suggests he was not alone when he died and that his community performed mourning rituals. This is considered the oldest known evidence that Paleolithic humans grieved in ways comparable to modern humans.

Do mourning rituals prove Paleolithic humans had fully modern consciousness?

How Kawasaki Tamed the H2 'Widowmaker' โ€” and Lost What Made It Special

Kawasaki's H2 was the fastest and most feared motorcycle of the 1970s, nicknamed the 'Widowmaker' for its unpredictable handling. The company eventually engineered out its dangerous traits, making the bike more controllable. However, purists argue that in doing so Kawasaki stripped the H2 of the raw, uncompromising character that made it legendary.

Should motorcycle makers sacrifice raw character for safety?

Tech news drowning in AI โ€” readers demand filters or alternatives

Users on Hacker News are frustrated that tech news sites like Techmeme are now almost entirely dominated by AI stories, crowding out other technology topics. They are calling for filters on existing platforms or entirely new outlets dedicated to non-AI tech news. Specific complaints include fake model benchmarks, inflated AI coding hype and high RAM prices driven by AI demand.

Should tech news sites add a filter to hide AI stories?

German tourism industry calls for less red tape and more political recognition

German tourism industry representatives are calling for reduced bureaucracy and greater political recognition. They argue that tourism creates jobs, stabilises economies, and can help counter social radicalisation. The sector wants to be seen not merely as a leisure industry but as a key part of development and security policy.

Should tourism be treated as part of national security policy?

Salman Rushdie jokes about death at Babell Festival, discusses 2022 knife attack

Salman Rushdie appeared at the inaugural Babell Literary and Cultural Festival in Porto, Portugal, joking about death during a sold-out Q&A: "I'd prefer not to." The Indian-born British-American novelist reflected on his 2022 knife attack and explained his disinterest in writing polemical fiction. He indicated a preference for literature rooted in human experience over ideological debate.

Should authors engage politically through their writing?

Moaning During Sex Doesn't Always Mean Orgasm, Experts Say

Sounds made during sex โ€” moaning, screaming or heavy breathing โ€” do not always signal an orgasm, and can also indicate tension, a message to a partner or even discomfort. Experts warn that assuming loudness equals satisfaction is one of the most common mistakes couples make. Open communication about feelings and experiences is essential for a fulfilling sex life.

Do couples communicate openly enough about sex?

"Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush" may have dark prison origins

The nursery rhyme "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush" has seemingly innocent lyrics, but its theorised origin is surprisingly dark. One leading theory links it to HM Prison Wakefield in England, where female inmates allegedly walked around a mulberry bush in the prison yard. Historians have not definitively confirmed the theory, but the rhyme joins a long list of children's songs suspected to have troubling roots.

Should the dark origins of nursery rhymes affect how we teach them to children?
