Barry Keoghan has built a career by choosing characters that are rarely easy to understand. The Irish actor can appear vulnerable in one film and deeply unsettling in the next, often bringing an unpredictable quality to his performances. His journey into acting was equally unconventional, beginning far from the traditional routes into the entertainment industry. A difficult childhood in Dublin shaped his early years, while an unexpected opportunity introduced him to acting. Since then, Keoghan has developed into an internationally recognized performer with roles spanning independent dramas, major blockbusters and psychological thrillers.
Born in Dublin, Keoghan experienced considerable instability while growing up. His mother struggled with drug addiction and died when he was young, and he and his brother spent several years in foster care before being raised largely by their grandmother and aunt. Despite his later success, Keoghan has spoken warmly about returning home and immediately slipping back into ordinary family life, joking that celebrity status does not excuse him from making his bed or cleaning up after himself.
His entrance into acting came almost by chance. As a teenager, Keoghan noticed a casting advertisement in a local shop window for the Irish crime film Between the Canals. He responded despite having little professional experience and eventually secured a role. Television work followed, including the Irish drama Love/Hate, helping him develop his craft and attract greater attention.
His international profile grew dramatically in 2017. Keoghan appeared in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk as George Mills, a young civilian caught up in the evacuation of Allied soldiers from France. That same year, he delivered a very different performance opposite Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman in Yorgos Lanthimos's The Killing of a Sacred Deer. As the mysterious Martin, Keoghan demonstrated the unnerving screen presence that would become one of his greatest strengths.
Rather than remaining within one genre, he continued moving between dramatically different projects. He entered the Marvel universe as Druig in Eternals, appeared in The Green Knight and gained major acclaim for Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin. His performance as Dominic Kearney earned him a BAFTA and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Ray Fisher became internationally recognizable as the technologically enhanced superhero Cyborg, but his career began far from the world of comic book blockbusters. The American actor developed his craft through theater before making the leap to major Hollywood productions. His upbringing, particularly the influence of his mother and grandmother, helped shape the values he later carried into his professional life. When Fisher encountered difficulties behind the scenes of Justice League, he chose to speak publicly about his experience. That decision became an important part of a career increasingly ****** ociated with both performance and workplace accountability.
Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Fisher grew up in Lawnside, New Jersey, in a large family raised primarily by his mother and grandmother. He has described both women as his real life superheroes, praising the determination and strength they demonstrated while he was growing up. His interest in acting became serious during high school, when encouragement from a teacher led him to audition for theatrical productions.
Fisher continued developing as a stage performer and eventually established himself in professional theater. One of his most demanding early roles was Muhammad Ali in the Off Broadway production Fetch Clay, Make Man. Preparing to portray the legendary boxer required substantial physical transformation as well as the ability to capture Ali's confidence and personality. The experience demonstrated the discipline Fisher could bring to a role before Hollywood audiences became familiar with him.
His major screen opportunity arrived when Zack Snyder selected him to play Victor Stone, better known as Cyborg, in the DC film universe. Fisher made a brief appearance in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice before receiving a much larger role in Justice League. Production changed significantly after Snyder left the project and Joss Whedon took over during post production. The theatrical version released in 2017 reduced much of Cyborg's original storyline.
In 2020, Fisher publicly accused Whedon of inappropriate and unprofessional behavior during the Justice League reshoots. WarnerMedia subsequently conducted an investigation after Fisher raised concerns involving the production. In December 2020, the company announced that the investigation had concluded and that remedial action had been taken, without publicly detailing what those measures involved.

A joke about an old romance has put Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson back in the headlines. The comedian is looking back on it with humor, while she, according to a source, is still sensitive about the subject. The source also says she has taken a firm stance on how she deals with Davidson, and it is not a "chapter of her life she's willing to discuss."
Pete Davidson, 32, recently spoke about his past with Kim Kardashian, calling himself "one of the survivors — the few and the proud." He went on to add, "We're like the Marines." The comedian also maintained that he still has "a lot of love" for the Skims founder, 45. Davidson also added that Kardashian respected his privacy, but the constant cameras were still too much for him. "I knew what I was getting into," he said.
Following his remarks on their brief relationship, a source close to Kardashian spoke to In Touch. The source said Kim remains "hyper sensitive" about Davidson. She has reportedly told people she won't discuss that chapter of her life and "would prefer if they didn't bring it up." The source drew a contrast with her marriage to Kanye West. Leaving West brought relief and freedom, the source said. Davidson ending their relationship, by comparison, brought "rejection and devastation."
According to the source, Davidson knows he hurt Kardashian and feels terrible about it. The source also claimed he is "genuinely happy" that she has moved on with someone else. He would nonetheless "love to build a friendship" with his ex, the source said. Kardashian, however, sees things differently. The source said she has chosen to "draw a firm line under the past" and has essentially banished Pete Davidson from her personal universe. "She wishes him the best," adds the source, "but doesn't need his apologies or friendship."
The source also described how deeply the breakup affected her. It reportedly "crushed her ego" and took a long time to process. The 45-year-old was said to be "madly in love" and convinced they had a future, even if the relationship was short.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Belgian-born scientist Francis Halzen won the ***** el Prize in physics Tuesday for his efforts to demystify a rare group of neutrinos, tiny cosmic particles that researchers believe offer clues to how the universe evolved.
"It was a great surprise, and I obviously didn't expect it," Halzen said, speaking to the ***** el Physics Committee by phone from Italy, in a call broadcast at the news conference to announce the winner.
Halzen said it was predicted that he would win the prize, but the announcement still made him feel "strange."
"I am working on a proposal, and I hope that this prize will help getting it approved," he said to chuckles from the audience.
Neutrinos are tiny cosmic particles with no electrical charge and extraordinarily small mass, making them difficult to detect. Yet they are everywhere: They spew from stars like the sun, and trillions zip through our bodies every second.

PARIS — Receiving an invitation to the theater from Christian Louboutin during Paris Fashion Week, one can be **** ured to be in for a treat. Through his "Loubi Show" format, the shoe guru has repeatedly shown a knack for conjuring loud spectacles and enlisting a vast array of talents to collaborate with — and the latest installation staged at Théâtre du Châtelet here on Friday was no exception. The designer called on no less than Dita Von Teese to present his spring 2027 collection, centered on celebrating his iconic La Pigalle pump. Named after the famous Parisian district and first introduced in 2004, the style has become a Louboutin signature with its sleek proportions expressing the sensuality embedded in the brand. A moment of the "Eternal Youth" show starring Dita Von Teese. Benjamin Malapris/Courtesy of Christian Louboutin To match the vibe, Louboutin asked Von Teese to do what she does best: seduce the audience with wit, in a performance that drew a packed guest list headlined by Cynthia Erivo, Elizabeth Debicki and Jaden Smith, who Louboutin tapped last year to become his first men's creative director roughly 15 years after he first expanded his red-soled universe into men's. Designers such as Jean-Paul Gaultier and Matières

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Renee Good's family sued the U.S. government and the architects of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown on Thursday, saying "the time is absolutely now for accountability" after her killing in January by a federal agent in Minneapolis.
Good's partner, Becca Good, and brother, Brent Ganger, accused the government and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot into her SUV and killed her, Jonathan Ross, of unjustified and excessive use of force.
The Jan. 7 shooting, captured on bystander video, was "the predictable and intended product" of the Trump administration's crackdown on Somali and other immigrants in Minnesota, an exercise that officials dubbed Operation Metro Surge, the lawsuit said.
"She was the love of my life," Becca Good said at a news conference announcing the lawsuits. "I'm here today because last January, the whole world had to watch as our entire universe was destroyed — as the sunshine who was my amazing Renee was robbed from us, from her children, and from her community."
The killings of Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, and another U.S. citizen, Alex Pretti, in Minneapolis just weeks later sparked outrage across the country and calls to rein in immigration enforcement. At least 10 people have died in encounters with immigration officers during Trump's second term.

Over the last decade and change, The Marvel Cinematic Universe has grown into a behemoth franchise that spans both movies and TV shows that air with a Disney+ subscription. Fans who have watched the Marvel movies in order have seen how Tom Holland got a reputation for accidentally spoiling movies, often going viral in the process. But how does the 30 year-old actor feel about this perception?
Holland is a beloved part of the MCU, with Spider-Man: Brand New Day beating out even Avengers: Endgame's box office haul. But aside from his A+ performances as Peter Parker, he's also known for repeatedly spoiling movies, despite Marvel's tight security. In a video from the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the Odyssey actor was asked about how folks are constantly dunking on him about spoilers, responding with:
There's part of me that loves it. My dad's a comedian. So having thick skin and growing up with people taking the mick out of you is like part of our upbringing, you know? My love language, I think, is taking the ****** out of me. I just love it.

Bond girl Jacqueline Bisset is celebrating her 82nd birthday – and the Hollywood icon looks as glamorous as ever.
The British actress, who entered the Bond universe as the memorably named Miss Goodthighs in the 1967 James Bond spoof Casino Royale, turns 82 on Sunday, September 13 2026. Born in Surrey in 1944, Jacqueline has enjoyed an extraordinary career spanning more than six decades.
And judging by one of her most recent red-carpet appearances, the veteran star has lost none of the elegance that made her one of cinema's most recognizable beauties.
Looking fab at 82 (@ Variety via Getty Images)
Jacqueline looked radiant when she attended the opening night of Filming Italy Los Angeles in February 2026, stepping out in an elegant cream silk suit with her brunette hair worn loose around her shoulders.

This one started bowling shoe ugly and ended up Sam the Chinese Crested Dog ugly, with Bradley Hanner proving why he is the definition of the 26th man on a Major League roster. Gerrit Cole gave up more home runs, three of em while not making it out of the fifth inning, but Hanner wasn't any better, allowing two dingers while five men crossed the plate against him. All this is to say the Yankees were kicked around Saturday afternoon, losing 12-2 to the Mets
I don't know what it is about Gerrit Cole. He's always been a little bit homer ***** e, especially since coming to Yankee Stadium. Fastballs in the zone lead to some kinds of nasty contact, but the thing that's really been different about him since returning from Tommy John is how many pitches he's keeping in the zone. He's got the lowest walk rate of his career, and indeed he didn't walk a single batter today. He also has the highest Zone%, or, throws more pitches in the strike zone than any other season of his career.
In his last two starts he's allowed seven home runs. Only three today, though they still counted for four runs like last weekend against the Padres.
Part of this is just random variance, enough monkeys at enough typewriters for long enough. Any time you talk about two games' worth of data, you have to throw up your hands at the universe. He's also been stung by Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, Jake Cronenworth, Francisco Lindor…guys that have been around the block. Lindor especially looked keyed up to swing in the game's first AB, the first dinger Cole allowed today. Former Baby Bomber Luis Torrens and rookie Carson Benge also homered off Cole to build a 4-0 lead.

Apple is skipping the base iPhone 18 this fall in favor of three premium devices: the iPhone 18 Pro, the iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable — rumored to be called the iPhone Ultra, Duo, or Fold. The foldable is the headline. It's expected to feature a 7.8-inch internal display, a 5.3-inch external screen, an A20 Pro chip, and a thickness of just 4.5mm unfolded, with pricing estimated between $1,999 and $2,399 and limited initial supply. It marks Apple's entry into the foldable category years after rivals — a potentially major new product cycle for one of the world's most valuable companies.
Here's the pattern every ETF investor should understand before today's close. Nearly two decades of data show that Apple tends to "sell the news" on launch day itself. AAPL averages a roughly 0.3% decline on iPhone launch days, with a median drop of about 0.6% — the classic case of anticipation being priced in before the reveal.
But the weakness rarely lasts. Apple has averaged a 0.5% gain the very next session (positive in 15 of 24 releases), and the longer-term picture is decisively bullish: AAPL has gained in the 60 days following an iPhone reveal 17 times since the original 2007 launch. The biggest such move was a 20% gain in the 60 days after the iPhone 11 reveal in 2019. In other words, launch-day dips have historically been buying opportunities, not warning signs. **** ysts have also downplayed fears about the ~$2,000 foldable price tag, arguing a premium halo product is unlikely to dent Apple's overall economics.
Apple is not just a stock — it's one of the largest weights in the entire ETF universe. As one of the biggest companies in the world, it sits near the top of the S&P 500, the Nasdaq-100, and virtually every technology index. That means a move in AAPL ripples through hundreds of funds, and millions of investors have significant Apple exposure without realizing it. When Apple moves on event day, these are the ETFs that move with it.
A handful of funds carry outsized Apple weights and will feel today's move most acutely. GXPT (Global X PureCap MSCI Information Technology ETF) holds roughly 19.2% in Apple — the highest of any diversified fund. FTEC (Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF) holds about 16.3%, VGT (Vanguard Information Technology ETF) about 16.2%, TRUT (VanEck Technology TruSector ETF) roughly 15.1%, and TOPT (iShares Top 20 U.S. Stocks ETF) around 14.5%. For these funds, Apple is a dominant driver of daily returns.

The San Francisco 49ers came out firing on every cylinder to deliver a 27-7 beatdown Down Under of the Los Angeles Rams. From the decision to arrive early to their piling on late scoring, how well did Brock Purdy, Kyle Shanahan and the crew do in upsetting the Super Bowl favorites to start the season?
Offense: A-
The old guys ruled. And that Kaelon Black kid wasn't too shabby. A 30-something (Demarcus Robinson, Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel) accounted for their three TDs and an almost 40-something, Trent Williams, was the best of the bunch, because you and I had as many tackles, QB hits and sacks as Rams' All-Universe pass rusher Myles Garrett. Less happily, De'Zhaun Stribling and Jake Tonges were carted away in the second quarter. George Kittle was a rumor. Yet Brock Purdy didn't notice. Outside of a horrific interception, Purdy was terrific with his arm, legs and swaggy first-down celebrations. Does Christian McCaffrey finally have a caddy? Yes. Rookie Black looked excellent in a real game after resembling a third-round find in the spring and summer.
Defense: A+
Raheem Morris in 2028? The well-respected new defensive coordinator looked like Bill Belichick (the pre-2022 version) while his unit made the reigning NFL MVP Matthew Stafford look ordinary. Sorry, correction: not just ordinary, but awful. Having Nick Bosa, Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw (combined games played for 49ers in 2025: 9) back together did give Morris some added IQ points. The LB duo turned out the lights on the Rams when Greenlaw held up Tyler Higbee and Warner peanut-punched the ball out. The 49ers didn't have a sack, but they made Stafford unsettled. Osa Odighizuwa had four of their eight QB hits, including a pressure that led to Stafford's INT.

Harbor Funds, an investment management company, released its Q2 2026 investor letter for "Harbor Mid Cap Value Fund". The letter can be downloaded here. Global equities experienced a sharp rally in Q2 2026, with the S&P 500 returning 15.2%, its strongest quarter since 2020, driven by a shift from software to hardware in the Artificial Intelligence capital spending cycle. Small caps outperformed large caps, with the Russell 2000® gaining 21.5% compared to the Russell 1000's 15.1%. Growth stocks led within large caps, while Information Technology rose about 33%, contributing significantly to the S&P 500's return. The Harbor Mid Cap Value Fund returned 13.99%, outperforming its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index. Strong stock selection in Consumer Discretionary, Real Estate, and Financials contributed positively, although an underweight in Information Technology negatively impacted results. Despite ongoing economic uncertainties, the investment philosophy remains committed to a disciplined value approach. Check the fund's top five holdings for its best picks in 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Harbor Mid Cap Value Fund highlighted Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:REGN) as a newly added position. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:REGN) is a biotechnology company that develops and commercializes medicines to treat various diseases. On September 04, 2026, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Harbor Mid Cap Value Fund stated the following regarding Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:REGN) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"We added to our position in Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:REGN), a biotech company in the Health Care sector. The stock ranks high on multiple cash flow and forecasted earnings measures — two of our most important measures of valuation. While the company pays a below-average dividend, Regeneron has been buying back stock, which we view positively. Price momentum over the past 12 months has been strong. In addition, several indicators of operating momentum also are attractive with improving operating margins and growth in sales. Overall, the stock ranks in the top 10% in our stock-ranking universe, which led to the second quarter purchase."

Actor Sebastian Stan refuses to go down the beaten path in his career. Despite global fame with the "Winter Soldier" franchise, the actor actively seeks out challenging roles that push him out of his comfort zone.
In an interview with Vulture, Stan reflected on his career evolution. He explained that he prefers playing the tough roles and not the conventional lead-man ones.
The 44-year-old admitted that boundary-pushing roles have a special appeal. "I'm drawn to a situation that provokes failure," Stan said, explaining his criteria for choosing roles.
Stan said that he was tied to privileged or villainous characters during his early years. After being cast in the Marvel universe, he felt that his stereotyping had dried up challenging roles for him in Hollywood.
However, in recent times, Stan has taken control over his career and starred in character-driven roles. He earned special acclaim for starring in "A Different Man", which won a Golden Globe for the role. Stan played Donald Trump in "The Apprentice".

When a subject has been as exhaustively covered — and as infamous — as Elon Musk, the electric-car-entrepreneur-turned-rocket-man-turned-richest-billionaire-in-the-universe-turned-Twitter-disruptor-turned-DOGE-destroyer-turned-God-only-knows-what-he'll-do-next, reviews of a documentary about him tend to lead by plucking out the film's incendiary bits of investigative reportage, the ones that feel worthy of a news headline. "Musk," Alex Gibney's 3-hour-and-45-minute documentary about the tech bro who would be king, has a handful of those.
The biggest revelation, to me, was the film's detailed history of Musk's attempt to put a self-driving car on the market — a technology that's sure to be here at some point, though Musk, in his race to be first, was far too eager to announce that it had already happened. Tesla released its Autopilot driver-assist system in 2015 (and then the Full Self-Driving Beta program in 2020), marketing the new technology with ads that exaggerated the car's powers. And so people were suckered. From the outset, there were accidents. More than 60 fatalities have been linked to Tesla's driver-assistance systems. Talk about something that could put a dent in your image! But Musk, for the most part, succeeded in hushing up the lawsuits, the federal investigations, and the fatal crashes, which were evidence of a recklessness that should have given the whole world pause.

Space Exploration Technologies (NASDAQ: SPCX), known as ******* eX, is ready to explore the cosmos. At least that's what CEO Elon Musk wants investors to understand.
"The mission is to make life multiplanetary, to extend consciousness beyond Earth and understand the universe," Musk explained in August. "For me, being a ******* efaring civilization is the most interesting thing we could possibly do for the future."
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 »
Here's the catch: ******* eX won't be establishing a multiplanetary civilization anytime soon. Before it pursues those goals in earnest, it will need to execute on two key growth pillars that will grant ******* eX the funding and mandate to move beyond Earth and its immediate surroundings.
SpaceX's revenue nearly doubled year over year last quarter, surprising ******* ysts. The company, however, still posted a net loss of $541 million. The company's only segment to generate an operating profit was its Starlink satellite network.

NNN and ADC both carry ~70% AFFO payout ratios, but Agree's two-thirds investment-grade tenant mix and 3.7x net debt ratio outshine NNN's 5.7x.
NNN's 37-year consecutive dividend increase streak impresses, but its non-investment-grade tenant roster creates meaningful tail risk that Agree's portfolio avoids.
Just released. Our ***** ysts combed the entire stock market and named the ten best stocks to buy right now. The report is free. Enter your email and see if any of your stocks made the cut.
Two of the largest net lease REITs cut checks to shareholders on the same day. NNN REIT (NYSE:NNN) sent out $0.62 per share on August 14, 2026, its first payment at a raised quarterly rate. Agree Realty (NYSE:ADC) delivered $0.267 per share on August 14, 2026 as part of its monthly payout schedule. Same date, same sector, and remarkably similar payout ratios. The grades diverge on what backs each dollar.
The August payment marked NNN's 37th consecutive annual dividend increase, one of the longest streaks in the REIT universe. The 3.3% increase in the quarterly rate lifted the annualized dividend to $2.48 per share.

Vice President JD Vance's wife, Usha Vance, recently compared her style to Melania Trump's.
In an interview with Fox News that aired on Sunday, August 30, the second lady, 40, said, "The first lady's style is very elegant and very much hers."
"I always admire it, but there's no universe in which I will ever look as good," Usha laughed. "So I just go in my own direction."
The Yale Law School graduate then spoke about her maternity wear style, which became a topic of conversation while she was pregnant with her son Alec, who was born in July.

The Yankees (79-60) and the Angels (53-86) conclude their three-game series tonight in Southern California with the series tied at one game apiece following New York's 7-3 win last night.
Spencer Jones and Jazz Chisholm Jr. went yard back-to-back in the first inning and the Yankees never looked back. Jones has homered in back-to-back games and Chisholm is 6-11 over his last three games with six runs scored. Zach Neto (2-4) and Wade Meckler (3-4) were the lone bright spots at the plate for the Angels in the game. The win was the Yankees' fifth in their last six games. The Halos have now lost eight of their last nine games.
Two of the hottest pitchers in baseball take the mound tonight in this one as Cam Schlittler (12-6, 2.09 ERA) takes the ball for the Yankees opposed by Reid Detmers (4-8, 3.54 ERA) of the Angels. Schlittler was outstanding last Friday against the Red Sox silencing them over 5.2 innings. His previous three starts saw him allow just one run per game with Schlittler pitching at least into the sixth inning of each. Detmers has been at least as good over the same stretch of time. Last Friday, the southpaw pitched six innings and allowed one run. He blanked the Rangers and Royals in his previous two starts (14 innings).
While these teams live in alternate universes, the season series is tied at three games apiece.
Lets dive into tonight's matchup and find a sweat or two.

The most famous faces in Hollywood aren't born fully-formed. Like the rest of us, celebrities go through those awkward teen years and adjust their look to current trends, until they end up the recognisable A-listers we flock to for fashion-forward inspiration. So, let's rewind the clock and see what these celebs looked like before they were guaranteed to bring fans flooding to their local cinema, primed for a 5-star rating.
Keep reading to see how many famous faces you can recognise from their early years, and how many have undergone a dramatic transformation.
Now, she's one of the big screen's biggest stars but before that, she was a Disney Channel regular
Before she reached star status as MJ in the Spider-Man universe or was channelling divine energy as Athena in The Odyssey, Zendaya started out as a Disney Channel kid.
She joined co-star Bella Thorne on musical tween hit Shake It Up, earning her big break on the small screen before cinema came calling.

Naomi Watts and Kai Schreiber are making a compelling case against matching mother-daughter wardrobes. In Simkhai's fall 2026 campaign, there are no coordinated outfits or deliberately twinning styling moments, as one might expect from a fashionable family affair. Instead, Watts and Schreiber bring their own distinct identities to the collection—one polished and timeless, the other edgier and more eclectic.
Photographed by Mikael Jansson and styled by Camilla Nickerson, this marks Watts and Schreiber's first campaign together. (The wider cast includes Malcolm McRae, Sage Elsesser, Awar Odhiang, and Betsy Gaghan.) For creative director Jonathan Simkhai, bringing mother and daughter into the same fashion universe was a way to show how his clothes can translate across generations. "I have long been a fan of Naomi both on and off screen," he tells ELLE. "She has a timeless sense of style that feels effortless yet intentional."
As for bringing Schreiber into the fold, he adds, "I have been following Kai's modeling career and thought it would be such a great moment to ask both Naomi and Kai to take part in the campaign shoot—I can't think of a better way to showcase how Simkhai can be worn by different generations of inspiring women."

As it turns out, clothes already move pretty freely between those two generations in the Watts-Schreiber household. Watts tells me that Schreiber has recently begun digging through pieces she saved from the late '90s and early aughts—and Watts has started borrowing from her daughter's growing handbag collection, too. There is, however, one glaring hole in the family archive: "I got rid of all my low-slung waisted jeans," Watts says, "which she's so annoyed about."

Brookfield and Bloom Energy have dramatically enlarged their wager on data-center electricity. On June 30, Brookfield **** et Management Ltd. (NYSE:BAM) and Bloom Energy Corporation (NYSE:BE) expanded an AI infrastructure framework from $5 billion to as much as $25 billion. Brookfield can finance eligible deployments through its investment vehicles, while Bloom can supply fuel-cell systems that generate power near the customer. The arrangement attacks a genuine bottleneck, but its impressive ceiling is not the same thing as committed revenue.

Bloom Energy Corporation (NYSE:BE) offers speed. Its systems can be installed on-site, reducing dependence on slow transmission projects and helping data centers obtain reliable power sooner. If AI demand keeps outrunning the grid, the company can turn its manufacturing platform into a central infrastructure solution. The bear case is execution at unprecedented scale. Equipment costs, fuel availability, service obligations, and project-specific economics will determine whether deployments create durable margins rather than merely large order headlines.
Brookfield **** et Management Ltd. (NYSE:BAM) brings capital formation and **** et expertise. It can choose projects, structure financing, and earn fees without manufacturing the equipment itself. A $25 billion framework expands the universe of potential **** ets and gives Brookfield access to long-lived infrastructure demand. However, capital is deployed only when projects meet contracts and underwriting criteria. Brookfield still bears financing, construction, counterparty, and **** et-performance risks through participating vehicles.
The partnership works because each side absorbs a different part of the problem. Bloom supplies technology and accepts manufacturing and performance risk. Brookfield organizes capital and accepts underwriting risk. Customers must still sign viable contracts. Investors should therefore resist adding the framework ceiling to either company's backlog. The opportunity becomes valuable one approved project at a time, with disciplined underwriting and execution.

Sept 1 (Reuters) - Scientists have made a possible breakthrough in the hunt for dark matter — observing hints of it during an experiment about a mile (1.6 km) underground in South Dakota — though they stopped short of saying they have finally detected this elusive cosmic component.
The researchers described a particle interaction documented at the Sanford Underground Research Facility — built in a former gold mine in the state's Black Hills region — that may have involved a hypothesized particle called a WIMP, short for "weakly interacting massive particle." This is one of the proposed candidates for being a dark matter particle.
Ordinary matter makes up stars, planets, people and everything else we can see. But it represents only about 15% of all the matter in the universe. The rest is thought to be dark matter, which does not emit or reflect light, making it invisible to the human eye and to telescopes. But scientists are confident dark matter exists because of its gravitational effects at galactic scales.
Particle physicist Sam Eriksen of the University of Bristol in England, lead author of a study describing the work, said it "could be the first hint of a dark matter observation."

If you're as obsessed with beauty history as I am, there's a 99.9% chance you follow Erin Parsons.
The makeup-artist-turned-content-creator has amassed nearly 8 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, not just for her vintage beauty tutorials, but also for deep dives into the archaeology of makeup. Be it demonstrating makeup techniques across eras—like the Victorian age using actual recipes from the period—or sharing her treasure trove of antique cosmetics, Parsons' content is a crash course in makeup history.
Now, she's expanded her universe with The Makeup Archive, a nonprofit digital museum featuring over 1,500 pieces from her personal collection that span from the 17th century through the 2010s. Three years in the making, the project came to life with the help of archivist Holly McGraw, who helped Parsons comb through 3,000 items to build the archive.
"Through my videos, and through how many views and how much engagement, [it's clear] that people are interested in beauty history," Parsons told host Jessica Matlin during a recent episode of the Fat Mascara podcast. "There's more to it than someone just putting on a red lipstick."

A massive observatory that scientists have called a "discovery machine" is set to launch toward the cosmos, beginning a journey that could mark a significant shift in our understanding of the universe.
Designed to seek out otherwise invisible and faint ***** e objects, NASA's Nancy Grace Roman ***** e Telescope is expected to lift off aboard a ***** eX Falcon Heavy rocket as soon as 7:26 a.m. ET Sunday from Kennedy ***** e Center in Florida.
Over the next five years, the bus-size telescope's observations could reveal answers to enduring mysteries such as dark energy, which fuels the inexplicable accelerating expansion of the universe, and dark matter, which provides the cosmos with structure but remains unseen. It could allow astronomers to spot previously unseen galaxies and exoplanets, worlds around stars beyond our solar system, as well rogue planets that don't orbit stars at all.
