Tesla bet big on Elon Musk. His politics continue to haunt it.
Tesla struggles to regain its footing in the electric vehicle market, hindered by Elon Musk’s political activity, impacting its stock price and performance.

Trump isn’t rethinking gun policy. He’s reassigning blame so ICE agents don’t have to face consequences.

Wonderful to see David Lynch's THE ELEPHANT MAN at BFI. It's a masterclass in cinematic empathy, gliding between the POVs of John Merrick's exploiters, spectators and doctors, and of Merrick himself. It dares us to look away, and asks us to keep looking, not just at John but into our own hearts.

Had somehow never even heard of the book "Song of Spider-Man: The Inside Story of the Most Controversial Musical in Broadway History" (2013). A fascinating comedy of errors that scratched so many of my niches. And it was ALL thanks to some guy from Derrinturn, Co. Kildare!

The Challenger shuttle disaster that killed 7 crew members was 40 years ago. What happened and how they're being remembered.
The diverse 7-member crew included a teacher who was going to teach lessons from space.
