Elon Musk directed a series of personal insults at Anne Hathaway after an eight-year-old speech about LGBTQ equality, race and privilege resurfaced on X.
The billionaire called Hathaway a "marionette," accused her of reading words written by somebody else and said the Oscar winner had a "little bird brain." He also claimed she simply repeated whatever Hollywood instructed her to say.
The video came from the Human Rights Campaign's National Dinner in Washington, D.C., on September 15, 2018. One of the posts recirculating the footage incorrectly described Hathaway's remarks as a new speech.
Musk has attacked The Odyssey's casting and announced plans for his artificial-intelligence platform to create a competing adaptation of Homer's epic before the end of 2026.
The renewed controversy began after the X account Her Tribe Vibe shared an excerpt from Hathaway's speech and presented it as a recent statement. Musk responded across several posts. "She has a little bird brain," he wrote in one reply.

Screenwriter Russell T Davies has described the death of his husband to an aggressive brain tumour as his "greatest loss".
Speaking on the On the Marie Curie Couch podcast, the Doctor Who writer opened up about Andrew Smith, who died in September 2018, following eight years of treatment for glioblastoma multiforme.
The couple had been together for 20 years and married in 2012.
The Swansea-born writer, who was also behind Channel 4 shows It's a Sin and Tip Toe, said it was "hard work" looking after his late husband, but that he would have gone through it for another 50 years "without a single complaint".
Davies said he had not been with Smith at his appointment when he was first diagnosed because the couple thought it was just an "ordinary meeting" with the hospital.

If you've ever wanted to listen to Sean Strickland speak for four hours, today is your lucky day. The UFC middleweight champion just sat down with Shawn Ryan and the two talked for over 240 minutes on a variety of different topics. That's over an hour longer than Christopher Nolan's Odyssey!
That film is based on Homer's epic poem and cover's Odysseus' 20 year journey from Ithica to Troy and back. But we have to say, 'complicated man' Sean Strickland's 35 year journey from abused child to two-time UFC champion may give The Odyssey a run for its money. There's too much to go into in one simple article, but the interview covers Sean's many mental issues, troubled youth, how he fell in with a neo-nazi gang in prison, and other really dark stuff.
"If I was drinking, I'd be dead or I'd be in prison," Strickland said. "That's what drinking does, it lowers your inhibition. And so now you're just like, 'Oh, I'm down to do anything.' I mean, I can't even own a revolver. I have one little .22 revolver that I don't f–k with because every time I pick it up, I can't stop thinking about killing myself."
"When I was younger, dude, I had this girl save my life," he added. "I had this .38, I'm just f–king spinning it. And I'm just talking to this girl named Jackie. [You] saved my life, Jackie, thank you. I'm spinning it. I put a round in it. I'm just talking to her and I'm hyperfixating on playing Russian roulette. Still to this day it gives me f–king chills."
"I was like, 'We should do it.' And she's like, 'Sean, no. Don't do it.' And I was like, 'No, what are the odds? Like, one in six? One in six. That's good odds. I'd take those odds.' Right? So I f–king put the gun to my head, and I'm sitting there … I'm working myself up to it. 'F–king do it. I'm f–king goona do it. You f–king ******* .' I'm having a conversation with her, I have every bit of adrenaline and dopamine just being f–king saturated in my brain right now and I f–king love it."

Honda Motor and Nissan Motor plan to collaborate in the development of a new software operating system (OS) for their next-generation vehicles, as the two ****** anese automakers look to cut vehicle development and production costs amid intensifying global competition, according to local reports citing a source familiar with the matter.
As the automotive industry moves towards software-defined vehicles (SDVs), software and electronic hardware account for an increasing proportion of the cost of a vehicle, as advanced driver ****** istance systems (ADAS), autonomous driving, connected technologies, and AI ****** istants become core features in next-generation vehicles.
Nissan and Honda, which pulled back from a full merger in early 2025, have been discussing collaboration in a number of areas, including SDVs, and EV batteries and powertrain components.
These latest reports suggest that a new OS, which serves as the brain of a vehicle, will be developed based on Nissan's existing OS. The two companies also plan to share key electronic hardware, including electronic control units (ECUs), with a formal agreement expected to be announced next month.
The decision to standardise software and electronic hardware was apparently made following recent progress in preliminary joint development.

A brain cancer diagnosis could have ended Archie Goodburn's career. Instead, it became the beginning of a story that captivated the Commonwealth Games. He didn't need a medal to win over the crowd. All he had to do was step onto the blocks.
Just two years after being diagnosed with an incurable form of brain cancer, the Scottish swimmer continues to fight battles far beyond the pool. The 25-year-old swimmer, who won the 2023 British Swimming Championships, broke down in tears after finishing seventh in the men's 50m ***** troke final at the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
"Outside the pool I dream of a future where brain cancer isn't the biggest killer of those under 40, where the UK government establishes a brain cancer lead to make that change," he said. "I'd much prefer that change is made, and that dream is completed, than any of my personal goals in the pool because what families and young people are going through out there is really beyond the comprehension of many people out there and certainly harder than anything I've had to do as a world-class sportsman."
If we take a look at his journey, the path for him has been anything but ordinary.
In 2024, Goodburn's Olympic dream took a devastating turn. After weeks of experiencing seizures, numbness down his left side and recurring feelings of déjà vu, the then-22-year-old received a phone call after training that changed everything.

How much someone needs for retirement can vary greatly depending on where they live and what kind of lifestyle they want to maintain. According to a recent retirement survey from investment firm Schroders, in order to "retire comfortably," Americans estimate they'll need to have around $1.2 million saved up.
That's a high figure, but the good news is even if someone doesn't have a large lump sum saved up today, they can still potentially be on track to retire with that much by making regular monthly investments in the stock market. Here's a look at how much someone would need to invest each month to be on track to reach that goal.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
The S&P 500 is a fairly safe way to invest in the stock market. The index tracks the top 500 U.S. stocks and provides investors with exposure to a broad mix of sectors. But to generate the best returns, specifically targeting growth stocks may be a better move for investors.
The Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO) does just that. Rather than trying to be too diversified, the exchange-traded fund (ETF) focuses on holding positions in the country's top growth stocks. That has enabled it to outperform the S&P 500 index funds in recent years. While the volatility from one year to the next can be high with growth stocks, for investors willing to hold on for not only years but decades, it can be a no-brainer option to invest in this type of fund.

William Shatner plans to boldly go where few have gone before, reveals a source, becoming a supercentenarian with the help of the latest in science advances!
"He genuinely believes he can make it to at least 110 if he keeps looking after himself and stays mentally engaged," dishes the source. "He's immersed in learning about all the possibilities, spending hours reading, listening to experts and following breakthroughs. William seems convinced we're living through a period where people will be able to extend their lives longer than ever."
According to the source, the Star Trek legend, 95, appears especially invigorated after "being pulled back from the brink" during his stage 4 cancer battle.
Now in remission, Shatner — who was diagnosed back in 2023 — required surgery and two years of immunotherapy to eradicate the malignant melanoma that had spread to his lungs and brain, per People.
"He's feeling absolutely fantastic these days and has confidence that he's still got decades ahead of him," shares our source. "He's got far too many things left on his bucket list to start thinking about slowing down."

Texas A&M coach Mike Elko, quarterback Marcel Reed, linebacker Daymion Sanford, and safety Marcus Ratcliffe spoke to the local and national media during SEC Media Days, previewing the 2026 season at length, especially for those outside the Aggie media sphere who have not paid attention until now.
Entering his second full starting season, Marcel Reed is on track to match his career-high 3,169 passing yards and 25 touchdowns in 2025, while his 12 interceptions were tied for the second most in the SEC; but after adding former Alabama wide receiver Isaiah Horton this offseason, Reed is well equipped to take more shots down the field given Horton's size advantage, especially in the red zone.
However, after offensive coordinator Collin Klein departed to take over as Kansas State's head coach, and instead of hiring outside the program, Mike Elko elevated wide receivers coach Holmon Wiggins, who, despite his lack of play-calling experience, served as Klein's Co-OC over the last two seasons, and was former Alabama head coach Nick Saban's long-time WR coach and AHC before making his way to College Station.
On Wednesday, Austin, Texas-based reporter Cory Mose asked Marcel Reed how the transition from Collin Klein to Holmon Wiggins has been just over 40 days before Texas A&M's season-opener vs. Missouri State, citing his strong relationship with new quarterbacks coach Joey Lynch and Wiggins' experience in the program.
"Hasn't been a crazy transition...I'm in the room with coach Wiggins and my quarterbacks coach, coach Lynch a lot this offseason. Just trying to pick their brains a little bit, let them pick mine. So we're on the when it comes to each and every weekend"

During the slow time, the mind wanders. A question from a viewer during the summer run of #PFTPM sent my relaxed brain wandering in one specific direction. And with the annual Packers shareholder meeting coming on Monday, there's no time like now to trot it out.
The seeds were planted, deliberately or not, by Packers president and CEO Ed Policy. In a March 2026 interview with Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal, Policy expressed an opinion that the current financial realities of NFL ownership make it harder for the only publicly-owned NFL franchise to compete.
“If you think about any other team, they’ve got deep-pocketed owners, most of them are worth significantly more than that, and they could sell less than 10 percent of their team, give up no controlling interest, and raise a heck of a lot more than that,” Policy said.
“Given the pace that the expenses have accelerated over the past few years, if we find ourselves falling behind, it’s going to be really hard to catch up. So, we have to keep ourselves in a position where we’re not falling behind.”
So what if the Packers eventually do fall behind? What happens if, at some point, the powers-that-be decide that the current business model doesn't work?

William Shatner and his youngest daughter, Melanie Shatner Gretsch, were both fighting separate stage 4 cancer diagnoses at the same time several years ago. It was a terrifying chapter that the two are only now fully opening up about after both becoming cancer-free.
The pair told People that Shatner Gretsch, 61, was already about a year into her stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis when her father learned that he, too, had cancer.
In June 2023, the Star Trek icon learned he had stage 4 malignant melanoma that had spread to both his brain and his lungs.
"I remember vividly thinking, 'I don't have the strength to take care of myself and lost my father at the same time,'" Shatner Gretsch shared.
She also recalled a time during her chemotherapy treatments when she called her father, telling him, "I think I'm dying."

Cubs urged to make 'no-brainer' Joe Ryan decision to boost World Series odds originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Chicago Cubs should be dialed in on the starting pitching market at the trade deadline.
Injuries have derailed the seasons of starters like Cade Horton and Justin Steele. Edward Cabrera is also hurt and hasn't had the strongest season on the mound.
That's just the tip of the iceberg for the Cubs. They'll need to address the rotation at the Aug. 3 deadline.
"At this point, it's looking like they'll be crossing their fingers with Matthew Boyd and Shota Imanaga in the first two games of the postseason," Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller wrote.

It's hard to believe that this coming January will mark ten years. I remember when I heard the news. It hit me like a slug hitting a deer. I had to sit for a few minutes, reading and re-reading the story. My brain refused to believe that the news was true, but eventually reality set in.
All of us have different memories and reactions to the death of Yordano Ventura. Things we know for certain: he had one of the best arms the Royals ever signed and developed. His stuff was electric. He had a fiery attitude that we loved and opponents often hated. He had his share of dustups, notably with Mike Trout, Manny Machado, Jose Bautista, and the entire roster of the Chicago White Sox. There was also a tiff with Brett Lawrie that looked personal. Even when he was in the wrong, we stood behind him because he was our guy.
I loved the way he would swing his right leg around after delivering one of his blazing fastballs.
We felt like he was just starting to tap into his massive potential. Then he was gone way too soon.
His postseason appearances were must-see TV. Ned Yost unwittingly used him as a reliever in the 2014 Wild Card Game, which ended in a spectacular blowup. He was brilliant against the Angels in the Division Series, tossing five-hit ball over seven shutout innings. He threw 95 pitches in that game. Twenty-two of those pitches reached 100 mph or more. When you add in his devastating curveball, well, sometimes there's just no chance for the hitter. He was brilliant against the Giants in the World Series, allowing just two runs in 12.1 innings of work.

It's a no-brainer that whenever Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry decides to hang it up for good, he'll be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame on the first ballot.
In case his career statistics and accolades didn't signal that, the Basketball Hall of Fame practically ensured it when they announced that the four-time NBA champion will have his own exhibit, marking the first time an active player was honored with a dedicated experience.
The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame will introduce its newest exhibit on Friday, July 24, which will be dedicated to the 12-time NBA All-Star, two-time MVP, Olympic gold medalist, four-time NBA champion and the undisputed greatest shooter of all time.
This development is a part of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame acclaimed gallery called "The Vault."
The exhibit is called "Stephen Curry: Beyond the Arc" and it showcases Curry's prowess on and off the court. In a creative partnership with Curry's Thirty Ink business team, the exhibit will showcase Curry's legacy as a basketball icon, entrepreneur, philanthropist and family man.

The Miami Heat's recent surge in their chances to land LeBron James apparently didn't come from an all-out pitch from the team's star offseason acquisition, Giannis Antetokounmpo. If anything, it's actually been just the opposite—sort of. However, while speaking recently about James and his free agency decision, Giannis's comments may have done much of the heavy lifting and actually been a pitch in itself.
During an interview with Mike Cugno of CBS Miami, Antetokounmpo was asked about what his free agency pitch to James would be. This is where The Greek Freak's interesting response, which began by admitting he doesn't think he'll "pitch anything to him," was not only an excellent response, but also high praise and a nice pitch without actually technically being one.
"I don't think I'll pitch anything to him," Antetokounmpo said. "I feel like in his career, he's always made good decisions. That's what history has shown. Everywhere he's been, he's won. If he believes the Miami Heat organization is a good decision for him and his family, he should make that decision. But he's one of the greatest players to play this game, if not the greatest. I don't think there's a team on the planet that would not want him to be there."

"For me, having a guy like that would be wonderful to learn from, to try to pick his brain ...He's a person I definitely look up to. He'll make the best decision for his family. He's been in Miami, he knows what Miami is about, and when he's ready, he'll decide."

Georgia running back Dante Dowdell is hospitalized with what head coach Kirby Smart described Tuesday as "serious injuries" due to an accident while riding an ATV.
Smart declined to reveal the nature of Dowdell's injuries while speaking at SEC media days in Tampa, Florida. Per ESPN, Smart said that Dowdell is receiving treatment at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, a hospital that specializes in spinal cord and brain injury rehabilitation.
"He's injured," Smart said, per ESPN. "We don't know when his return will be. I don't know the specifics of it, to be honest with you. It was a recreational vehicle, and he had some serious injuries."
Smart told reporters that Dowdell had been in two hospitals since the accident and that the program has cautious expectations that he'll make a "full recovery."
"We expect a full recovery, but the outlook right now is we're waiting to see," Smart said, per On3. "We'll go day to day with him and see.

More than half a century has elapsed since the last big exhibition of work by Richard Dadd, the Victorian one-off who murdered his father while in his 20s and spent the rest of his life painting in psychiatric institutions. The most famous of his seemingly psychedelic compositions is The Fairy-Feller's Master-Stroke (1855-64), an airless, intricate and profoundly eccentric picture swarming with supernatural creatures, each apparently no bigger than a blade of grass. Surely it's the product of a fevered brain?
Richard Dadd: Beyond Bedlam, at the Royal Academy of Arts, invites us to consider its subject afresh, not as a lunatic who happened to paint but as a first-rate artist who lived with mental illness (probably schizophrenia), a little like Vincent van Gogh. Although, on this evidence, his folkloric paintings can appear obscure, as well as multitudinous and hallucinatory, the originality of his vision reinforces the show's premise. This exhibition may be weird, but it's certainly compelling.
Despite Dadd's medical history, it would be wrong to categorise him as an "outsider" artist. He was born in Kent in 1817, his mother died when he was a child, then, at the age of 19, he entered the Royal Academy Schools, a move emphasised (unsurprisingly, given its setting) by this exhibition's dull opening room. If Dadd's mature art appears technically accomplished and steeped in art history – I have a hunch that an odd watercolour of 1852 depicting Robin Hood craftily alludes to The Archers (1769-70) by Sir Joshua Reynolds now in Tate Britain – that's because he was trained, as well as talented.
After winning acclaim for some early Shakespearean fairy pictures, including one of a corpulent, malevolent-looking Puck sitting cross-legged on a fungus beneath a foxglove like a dripping shower head, Dadd was invited, in 1842, to accompany Thomas Phillips, a Welsh lawyer and politician, on a trip around the eastern Mediterranean. Over-stimulated by this grand tour, Dadd began suffering delusions. On his return to London, he became convinced that his father was a devil and killed him with a knife. A year later, he was admitted to Bethlem and remained there for two decades before being transferred to Broadmoor Hospital, where he would eventually die from tuberculosis, in 1886.
During his time as a patient, medical attitudes to mental illness started to shift. In 1854, Dadd produced Agony – Raving Madness, a watercolour of a manacled, half-naked, evidently tormented patient clutching at his head. Yet, Dadd's doctors wanted physical coercion to become a thing of the past. They allowed him to draw and paint as he wished, and even commissioned him to do so; exceptionally, at Broadmoor, they also provided him with carpentry tools, so that he could build his own idiosyncratic wooden picture frames (two of which appear at the Royal Academy).

General Hospital star Kirsten Storms has offered fans a personal update as her absence from the daytime drama continues. The actress took to social media to reflect on the major changes in her life, discussing her future and recent personal challenges. Her candid message also addressed ongoing speculation about her personal life.
Kirsten Storms has shared a candid update about her life, opening up about the changes she has made since leaving California and the new priorities influencing her future. Alongside a selfie revealing her darker hair color, the actress reflected on her career and family.
In a post shared on Instagram, Storms said relocating to Tennessee last year remains one of the best decisions she has made, even though she admitted she is currently facing a difficult period in her personal life. She wrote, "Despite everything that's been going on in my life right now (… and I will be honest, it's more than upsetting) — I still feel that the move to Tennessee was the best choice for me. I might not be at the best part of this choice yet, but L.A. never felt like my real home."
Storms also reflected on her decades in the entertainment industry, explaining that acting had been her only career since childhood after her parents moved the family from Florida to pursue opportunities for her. While expressing pride in everything she has accomplished, she admitted that becoming a mother to Harper changed the way she views life. Storms wrote, "Then I had Harper, and how I viewed every single thing in life shifted." She and her former husband, Brandon Barash, welcomed Harper in January 2014.
The actress also reflected on the impact of undergoing surgery for a brain aneurysm in October 2025, explaining that the experience changed her priorities. She wrote, "Until I began to understand how precious time is and how what we prioritize becomes all we have, there was never a thought that my life would ever change."

With the rise of agentic AI, the number of central processing units (CPUs) used within AI data centers is set to explode. While graphics processing units (GPUs) are good at providing raw computing power, CPUs act more like the brains of the operation and can handle the sequential reasoning that lets AI agents stop and think before they act. As a result, the GPU-to-CPU ratio is expected to go from 8-to-1 for training, down to 4-to-1 for inference, and to 1-to-1 for AI agents.
With Nvidia predicting this could become a $200 billion market in the next few years, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD), Arm Holdings (NASDAQ: ARM), and Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) are all set to benefit. Let's see which one of those three looks like the best agentic AI stock to buy.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
AMD is a leader in the data center CPU ***** e, having consistently taken share away from Intel over the past few years. The company has strong technology and has developed high-core CPUs designed specifically for agentic AI. Cores act like individual workstations, and packing more cores into a CPU is like giving the chip a large workforce to help power autonomous AI agents. Its new Venice architecture, set to debut soon, utilizes up to 256 cores, making it ideal for agentic AI.
In addition to its agentic AI opportunity with its CPUs, AMD is also benefiting from the surging inference market with its GPUs. Its acquisition of memory optimization company MEXT, whose chiplet design allows it to be packaged with more memory, positions AMD well in the inference market, and it already has two massive deals in place with OpenAI and Meta Platforms.
