Was Activision right to price the Black Ops PS5 ports so high?

Warsaw climbs global city ranking — pricier but not yet top for quality of life

Warsaw has risen in a global city ranking, becoming more expensive, though it still falls short of the top tier for quality of life. Switzerland remains extremely costly, Japan has become surprisingly affordable, and Tel Aviv has joined the league of the priciest cities. Central Europe is losing its reputation for low costs, while the US maintains high incomes but a shrinking price advantage.

Is Warsaw already too expensive for the quality of life it offers?

La La Land's 10th anniversary poster fixes Ryan Gosling's infamous "La La Hand"

To mark the 10th anniversary of La La Land, Lionsgate released a revised poster correcting the position of Ryan Gosling's hand, which had long been a source of frustration for the actor. Gosling had openly criticised the original poster over the years because of the oddly placed hand, nicknamed "La La Hand" by fans. The fix puts the issue to rest ahead of the film's milestone anniversary.

Should film studios alter old posters at actors' request?

Stephen Wolfram: the universe isn't random — it's driven by computational evolution

Physicist and Wolfram Alpha creator Stephen Wolfram argues that the universe's complexity emerges from simple computational rules, much like biological complexity arises from evolution. He proposes that nature is neither random nor engineered, but governed by a principle he calls "computational irreducibility." The same rule that shapes living tissue and organisms is, he claims, a fundamental property of computation itself.

Tradwife thrillers are taking over publishing in 2026

Three major publishers — Simon & Schuster, Penguin and HarperCollins — have each released a thriller with "tradwife" in the title since the start of 2026, written by Sarah Langan, Saratoga Schaefer and Michelle Brandon respectively. The books form an emerging subgenre indebted to Ira Levin's The Stepford Wives, exploring the dark underbelly of the idealised "traditional wife" lifestyle popular on social media. The wave reflects the persistent commercial appeal of tradwife-tagged content.

Is the thriller genre an effective way to critique the tradwife phenomenon?

Nixon had a backup speech ready if Apollo 11 astronauts died on the Moon

A draft speech prepared for President Richard Nixon in the event that the Apollo 11 astronauts failed to return from the Moon remains stored in the US National Archives. The document was written as a contingency in case Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were stranded or killed on the lunar surface in July 1969. It serves as a haunting reminder of the enormous risk taken during the historic mission.

Eater App Now Lets Users Swap Personal Dining Notes With Friends

The Eater app has launched a new feature allowing users to share personal dining notes with friends — the kind of colourful, subjective tips you'd get from a knowledgeable friend rather than a listing with opening hours and dress codes. The feature is designed to replicate the intimacy of a personal restaurant recommendation. It targets diners seeking genuine insider opinions rather than standard venue data.

Are personal notes from friends better restaurant recommendations than online reviews?
