Same region. Same heat. Same aircon weather. We pay double to four times more.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

In God of War (2018), you spend the entire game mourning a woman who never says a word. She's just a body you carry up a mountain. The next game makes her the hero. And in the old stories, she once fought Thor to a standstill.
Her name is Faye. She dies in the opening, and everything after is Kratos, the bald, furious warrior you play as, and his young son Atreus carrying her ashes to the highest peak in the world. You never hear her speak. You only ever see her wrapped in cloth, then burning on a funeral fire.
What the games slowly reveal is who she was. To the giants she was Laufey the Just, a warrior who led uprisings against Odin and his gods and shielded the weak from them, even breaking their prisoners loose. She fought Thor once and neither of them won. He was drunk at the time, fine, but Thor is the hardest hitter the gods have, so holding him off at all says plenty.
That famous axe Kratos throws and magically calls back to his hand was hers first. The dwarf blacksmiths Brok and Sindri forged it for her, built to match Thor's hammer, and she handed it down to Kratos before she died.
She also quietly set the whole story in motion. She could see the future, so she marked the trees around their home, arranged her own funeral, and aimed Kratos and Atreus straight at the journey that eventually topples Odin. The person steering all of it spent the entire time as a corpse.
Sony revealed God of War: Laufey at their June State of Play, with twenty minutes of gameplay. Everyone figured a prequel, since she's dead. Nope. Creative director Cory Barlog says it's "a continuation of the timeline," starting the moment after that funeral. Instead of resting in peace, Faye wakes up somewhere called the Everywhen, the afterlife of the gods. Dead gods from all kinds of myths claw over the last scraps of power there, and the plans she made to protect her family are already coming apart.
The fighting is built around her, not her husband. Kratos is slow and heavy and hits like a truck. Faye is quick and airborne, leaping and juggling enemies in the air with a magic sword. She can hit an enemy hard enough to knock its soul clean out of its body, then start wailing on the soul itself. Deborah Ann Woll, Karen from Daredevil, plays her again, and the character is modeled on her face. Her first sidekick is a talking jelly cube named Phranque, voiced by Jack Quaid from The Boys.
There's no release date yet, and it's PS5 only. The woman whose death powered two of the best action games ever made finally gets to fight her own war.
SOLID BLOC 11: ALAN PETER CAYETANO RESIGN!
What happened today was a clear abandonment of responsibility, a dereliction of duty, and a blatant disregard of the rules that govern this institution, because the Senate cannot be made to stop working simply because its presiding officer refuses to lead.
Under Rule XIV, Sec. 41 of the Rules of the Senate, the Senate President may postpone the holding of the session AFTER consultation with the Majority Leader AND the Minority Leader. That rule was violated. This is not merely a procedural lapse—it is a direct violation of the Rules of the Senate and a serious disrespect for the institution and the Filipino people.
Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano SHOULD RESIGN as he has shown that he cannot function as the leader of the Senate.

Meralco completely missed my point. Hindi ko kinekuwestiyon kung legal na singilin sa consumers ang "pass through costs"—ang tanong ko ay kung makatarungan ba ito.
Kumita ang Meralco ng ₱50 billion noong 2025 at ₱11 billion sa first quarter pa lang ng 2026, habang hirap na hirap ang mga ordinaryong consumers at taxpayers. Barya lang sa kanila ang Lifeline Rate. Puwede nila itong ibawas sa kita, over-recoveries, o allowed returns ng distribution utilities.
Hindi ordinaryong negosyo ang Meralco. Isa itong regulated monopoly na may prangkisang ipinagkaloob ng Kongreso. Kung ayaw nilang suklian ang pribilehiyong ito, panahon na para suriin ang Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) at ang rules ng Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) para masiguro na ang sistema ng kuryente ay hindi lang legal, kundi patas at para sa kapakanan ng taumbayan.
Surprise!! 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is on its way to you 🔜! The 1989 album changed my life in countless ways, and it fills me with such excitement to announce that my version of it will be out October 27th. To be perfectly honest, this is my most FAVORITE re-record I’ve ever done because the 5 From The Vault tracks are so insane. I can’t believe they were ever left behind. But not for long!

The night bus screeched to a stomach twisting halt outside the gates of the manor, & even though Hermione had ridden the cursed contraption more times than she cared to remember she had to swallow convulsively to keep down the heel of bread she’d managed to steal for breakfast.
It’s here. It’s yours, it’s mine, it’s ours. It’s an album I wrote alone about the whims, fantasies, heartaches, dramas and tragedies I lived out as a young woman between 18 and 20. I remember making tracklist after tracklist, obsessing over the right way to tell the story. I had to be ruthless with my choices, and I left behind some songs I am still unfailingly proud of now. Therefore, you have 6 From The Vault tracks! I recorded this album when I was 32 (and still growing up, now) and the memories it brought back filled me with nostalgia and appreciation. For life, for you, for the fact that I get to reclaim my work. Thank you a million times, for the memories that break our fall. 💥🐉🏰 Speak Now (MY VERSION!) is out now.

It fills me with such pride and joy to announce that my version of Speak Now will be out July 7 (just in time for July 9th, iykyk 😆) I first made Speak Now, completely self-written, between the ages of 18 and 20. The songs that came from this time in my life were marked by their brutal honesty, unfiltered diaristic confessions and wild wistfulness. I love this album because it tells a tale of growing up, flailing, flying and crashing… and living to speak about it. With six extra songs I’ve sprung loose from the vault, I absolutely cannot wait to celebrate Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) with you on July 7th. Pre-order now at https://t.co/m3KNl71qrY 💜💜💜
