Giovanni Veronesi's 'Dio Ride' to Close Venice Film Festival

Giovanni Veronesi's "Dio Ride" will close this year's Venice Film Festival. The film is loosely based on real events from the mid-1600s and follows Fra Leopoldo, who preaches the Gospel in Italian with "contagious joy" rather than the Church's Latin. The closing-night selection continues Venice's tradition of ending with an Italian-language production.

Should the closing film at Venice always be an Italian production?

Bitcoin Japan raises $60M to finally buy bitcoin after prior funds went to SpaceX and Figure AI

Bitcoin Japan, a company that currently holds no bitcoin despite its name, plans to raise $60 million through EVO Fund to finally purchase the cryptocurrency. A previous fundraising round in December 2024 instead funded stakes in SpaceX and Figure AI, which the firm describes as its two AI infrastructure investments. The new capital is intended specifically for bitcoin acquisition.

Was Bitcoin Japan right to invest prior funds in SpaceX instead of bitcoin?

Inheriting money in your 80s: impact on Social Security taxes and Medicare premiums

An elderly woman who inherits money in her 80s could face higher taxes on her Social Security benefits and increased Medicare premiums if the inheritance pushes her income above certain thresholds. Social Security benefits can become partially taxable, and Medicare uses the IRMAA system to raise premiums for higher-income beneficiaries. Financial advisers recommend planning ahead to minimise the tax impact of an inheritance.

Should inheritances received by seniors be exempt from Social Security taxation?

Italian beach resorts warn tourists against bringing homemade sandwiches

Italian beach resorts have declared war on homemade food, with beach wardens now officially warning tourists who bring their own sandwiches. Authorities are monitoring beachgoers and handing out formal warnings to those caught eating home-prepared food. The move is aimed at protecting local restaurants and beach bars from losing business to self-catering visitors.

Do resorts have the right to ban tourists from eating their own food on the beach?

How to Blanch Tomatoes Without Turning Them to Mush

Ripe tomatoes can be easily peeled by brief blanching: score a cross on the base, submerge in boiling water for 30–60 seconds, then transfer immediately to ice-cold water. Over-blanching breaks down the flesh and leaches out nutrients, so timing and rapid cooling are essential. Tomatoes prepared this way keep their firmness and most of their vitamins, making them ideal for sauces and preserves.

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic linked to rare eye disease risk, study finds

A new study suggests that popular GLP-1 medications — semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) — may be linked to an increased risk of a rare eye disease that can sometimes cause sudden vision loss. Researchers stress that the overall risk remains small. The drugs are widely prescribed for type 2 diabetes and obesity treatment.

Should the eye disease risk lead to tighter prescribing limits on GLP-1 drugs?

Morton says taking the role "felt like a rebirth" and that the sequence is one of the most electrifying in the film.
