2월 말 미국 이란 전쟁이 터지고 나서 증시가 요동친 가운데 꾸준히 상승해 눈길을 끄는 주식이 있다. 미국 일간지 뉴욕타임스다. 2월 초 60달러대에 머물던 뉴욕타임스 주가는 전쟁 발발 후 꾸준히 상승…

Jeffrey Stephen Wigand revealed how tobacco companies targeted children; now he sees similar marketing by big techA key whistleblower in the tobacco industry’s landmark trials of the 1990s has been watching big tech’s recent court battles closely. Jeffrey Stephen Wigand, a biochemist who helped reveal how tobacco companies targeted children and hid just how addictive cigarettes were, has been struck with a feeling of familiarity. Last week’s verdict in a major social media trial that Meta and YouTube deliberately designed addictive products has only strengthened comparisons to the legal crackdown on big tobacco. Wigand sees it, too. His first thought, as he learned about the litigation..

Ofcom data points to more passive consumption amid changes to apps and fears about mental health and past postsPosting significant events in your life, from birthdays to weddings and promotions, is a social media staple. But Jenny, like many other Britons recently, has hesitated over contributing to the infinite scroll.“I wouldn’t have even posted my wedding really,” she says. “But I had to because … There’s like an etiquette. Nobody else can post your wedding until you’ve posted. So my friends were like: ‘Please post, it’s been like a week.’” Continue reading...

For his centenary special, the naturalist stays close to home – who could blame him? – and reveals a magical world teeming with cutenessHe’s nearly 100 years old and has spent more than half that time showing us the entire Earth, so it feels fair enough that David Attenborough has scaled back and stayed at home for this centenary year’s bundle of natural history wonders. There he is, in the sunshine in the middle of England, ambling past a shed. “Across the British Isles, there are magical places,” he says, whispering through the purple alliums. “Our gardens!”Secret Garden’s conceit is to bring the super-high-res cameras and patient filming techniques that are usually deplo..

Unlike Trump’s cronies in the White House, outside voices are not so easily disciplined. There’s a lesson here for all future political movementsIf you spend enough time swiping online, you may have seen skits by the American comedian and influencer Druski (real name Drew Desbordes), in which he parodies everything from Republican patriots to flashy mega churches. Once again, he has exploded on social media channels with a skit satirising “conservative women in America”, a nakedly targeted roast of Erika Kirk, now the CEO of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) after her husband, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated last year.Predictably, it has drawn conservative backlash, with Ted Cruz calling the ..

The comedian/musician joins a rare club in an episode filled with surprise cameos and genuinely funny skitsJack Black has had a nearly 27 year relationship with Saturday Night Live, first showing up in May 1998 as one half of his musical duo Tenacious D. Since then, he’s been at the helm of a bevy of fan favorite episodes, triumphantly returning to host last year after a mysterious two decade long gap in between appearances. Tonight, he takes SNL’s reins for the fifth time: but will he become a Saturday Night star once again?“That game was miraculous. It was spectacular. One could call it, miraca-tacular.” So says Kenan Thompson in his tried-and-true impression of Charles Barkley. In..

취재를 위한 여행과 사적인 이유에서 선택한 여행 모두가 마찬가지다. 익숙한 공간을 떠나 낯선 곳을 떠돈다는 건 새로운 사람과 음식을 마주하는 일에 다름없다. 지난 30여 년. 아시아와 중동, 유럽과…

The law Republicans passed last year has so far been largely imperceptible to most Americans. That’s changing as tens of millions file their taxes this spring.

Reports on English policies seen in Wales as relating to whole of UK contribute to widespread confusion, researchers sayUK media is failing to report properly on devolved issues in Wales, leaving voters ill-informed about May’s Senedd elections, a report has found.A Cardiff University study of more than 3,000 news items found repeated patterns in coverage across different broadcasters and platforms, including not signposting whether an issue was relevant to England or England and Wales only, widespread references to “the government” rather than “the UK government”, and the use of “you” and “your” in contexts that apply only to people living in England.

As Trump’s administration aims to bring ‘warrior culture’ back to the military, young service members express anxiety and snark online over potential deploymentIf posts coming from the White House were to be believed, the US-Israel war on Iran looks something like scenes from Top Gun, Braveheart and Deadpool – or how a fifth-grade boy might imagine combat. The Trump administration has also presented Operation Epic Fury as a video game, borrowing gen Z parlance to describe the US armed forces as “locked in” on the conflict.Such macho posturing squares with secretary of defense Pete Hegseth’s desire to bring “warrior culture” back to the military. The former Fox News host has..

The former Little House on the Prairie star said husband was ‘last person in world who would hurt a child’Melissa Gilbert has staunchly defended her husband and fellow actor Timothy Busfield in her first interview since New Mexico prosecutors charged him with child sexual abuse in early February.In part of a conversation scheduled to be broadcast on Monday on Good Morning America but circulated in advance as a preview, Gilbert told ABC host George Stephanopoulos that she believed the Emmy winner whom she married in 2013 to be “the last person in the world who would hurt a child”.

Jesse Watters gave a litany of reasons why women shouldn’t lead before denying he agreed. But peddling these ideas normalizes themOh dear, it looks like Jesse Watters’ mother needs to give him a good talking to again. The Fox News host regularly spouts so much deliberately provocative nonsense that his mum, a liberal, has called into his show to ask him to use his voice “responsibly”. Instead of listening to her, however, he’s told his audience of millions that men shouldn’t eat soup in public because it’s effeminate, shared his creepy fantasies about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s sex life, and urged America to bomb or “maybe gas” the United Nations headquarters. This week, ..

When it comes to scandal, seeing is believing – which is why these images caused such a stirWords can tell a story, but it’s pictures that will make you believe in it. Such is the power of a photograph; the ability to strip away illusions, to illuminate something hidden, and sometimes force us to accept unpalatable truths. When it comes to scandal, seeing is believing – occasionally even to the point that a picture changes the course of history.How might life have been different for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor had he not been photographed clutching the midriff of the 17-year-old girl he would later claim he had never met? Without this haunting triptych of the former prince, the late Vir..
