In a crucial moment for the future of The Washington Post, owner Jeff Bezos faces a decision that could have far-reaching implications for the prestigious news organization. Bezos must choose whether to continue supporting Will Lewis, the controversial Fleet Street veteran he appointed as publisher and chief executive, or to heed the calls of the Pulitzer Prize-winning newsroom that has voiced clear opposition to Lewis. Following conversations with nearly a dozen staffers and individuals familiar with The Post’s internal dynamics, it appears increasingly unlikely that Bezos can maintain his support for Lewis. The publisher has faced intense scrutiny over a…

Two years ago, there was a widespread belief that a major bubble was on the verge of bursting. The era of historically low interest rates was ending, causing turmoil in various asset classes. Share prices were plummeting, government bonds were taking a hit, and the cryptocurrency markets were in a state of freefall. On Wall Street, the naysayers were reveling in the chaos, as their predictions of doom seemed to be coming true. The prevailing sentiment of the previous decade, which suggested that inflation was a thing of the past and cheap money was here to stay, now seemed absurd…

Archaeologists have been perplexed by an ancient “portal to the underworld” that has finally been examined, according to officials. The artifact, known as the Olmec Cave Mask, was originally stolen from the Chalcatzingo archaeological site in Mexico’s Central Highlands during the 1960s. The smugglers who took the millennia-old mask broke it into multiple pieces and dispersed them among various museums and private collections. However, in 2023, the full artifact was finally returned to Mexico. Crafted between 800 and 400 B.C., the mask is said to resemble the ancient Olmec jaguar god Tepēyōllōtl, according to an August 2023 press release from…

Former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon is set to report to the low-security federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut next month to begin serving a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress. He had initially hoped to serve his time at a minimum-security prison camp, but a pending criminal case in New York prevents him from being eligible for that option. This case accuses him of defrauding donors in a fundraising effort related to a border wall between the US and Mexico. In a recent legal filing, Bannon’s lawyers argued that his imprisonment during the summer months leading up to the November…

On a recent episode of “Live With Kelly and Mark,” “America’s Got Talent” judge Howie Mandel shared a horrifying incident that occurred with his wife, Terry Mandel, in their Las Vegas hotel room.

He shared a photo of the aftermath, showing Terry Mandel with a bloody and blackened eye.…

Good evening, this is CNN reporting. It’s a bullish time for Wall Street with the S&P 500 index climbing nearly 15% this year and securing 30 record-high closes. The surge in stocks was fueled by strong corporate earnings and artificial intelligence, despite concerns over higher-than-expected inflation reports potentially slowing the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cuts in 2024. However, recent data in May showed cooling inflation, bringing it closer to the Fed’s 2% target. Now, traders are anticipating two to three rate cuts this year as a result of the new inflation outlook. Goldman Sachs has raised its year-end target for…

Sand is a ubiquitous resource found in abundance all around the world. However, not all sand is created equal when it comes to producing high-quality glass required for cutting-edge technologies like smartphones and solar panels. The sand used for these purposes must have a silica concentration of over 99.9%, far surpassing the silica content found in regular construction sand, which typically has less than 80%. Out of the approximately 50 billion tonnes of sand extracted annually, only a minuscule percentage meets the stringent purity requirements for producing specialized glass and solar panels. The scarcity of high-quality sand has become a…
