When I was seven, Jack Nicholson vomited cherry juice on me – it certainly beat doing schoolwork | Family

Published by Sam Flores

I clearly remember the first time I had a soda because it was the same day Jack Nicholson threw up on me. Deliberately. He’d burst through the doors of a church and began a profanity-riddled tirade against God and women as he gesticulated madly and accosted churchgoers. When he reached the front row where I sat and turned towards me, I froze. His eyes were abnormally alert, his hair wild and uncombed and saliva dripped from his mouth like a Neapolitan mastiff. Suddenly, the director yelled “cut!” and Jack grinned at me before giving my nose what can only be described as a boop and walking back down the aisle and out of the church. The costume department immediately descended on the congregation, wiping the cherry pulp and juice “vomit” off our clothes to reset the scene. It was the summer of 1986 and we were in Cohasset, 20 miles outside Boston, shooting one of the most memorable and dramatic scenes in The Witches of Eastwick, a film starring Jack Nicholson, Cher, Michelle Pfeiffer and …

The 10 Things the Bezoses Are Almost Certainly Grateful for Each Morning

Published by José Betancourt

“On a typical day, the newlyweds wake up around 6 in their new, roughly $230 million compound on Indian Creek, an exclusive private island in Miami often called ‘Billionaire Bunker.’ They don’t touch their phones. Instead, they begin each day by listing 10 things they’re grateful for—and they can’t repeat what they named the day before.”  — The New York Times Monday, 6 a.m. 1. Money. 2. Our new, roughly $230 million compound on Indian Creek, an exclusive private island in Miami often called “Billionaire Bunker.” 3. Our stunning physical appearance, both natural and man-made. 4. Our close, continuing friendship with Leonardo DiCaprio, someone with whom we are able to discuss the travails of yacht ownership. A subject not everyone understands! 5. Jared Kushner. A friend close enough that he’s invited to our wedding! 6. How much less bad news there is to read anymore! Especially in that one paper—what’s it called? 7. The great view we had of Donald Trump’s inauguration, right on the stage and everything! Everyone should see J. D. Vance up …

Apple on MacBook Neo Design: ‘We’re Certainly Not Making Any Compromises’

Apple on MacBook Neo Design: ‘We’re Certainly Not Making Any Compromises’

Published by skeptic

While the MacBook Neo starts at just $599, or an even lower $499 for college students, Apple has insisted that it did not make any design compromises. “It’s undeniably a MacBook, we’re certainly not making any compromises on the design and that’s really important,” said Apple’s vice president of industrial design Molly Anderson, in an interview with architecture and design publication Dezeen. Anderson added that “it was important” for the MacBook Neo “to be quintessentially a MacBook.” Chiefly, the MacBook Neo is made from aluminum, not plastic. “It wasn’t just a redesign, it was starting from the beginning, and we’re not using cheaper materials, it’s incredible aluminium,” she said. Available in fun colors like Blush and Citrus, the MacBook Neo is meant to be distinguished from the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, according to Anderson. “It was important to make it feel part of the family, but with its own personality,” she said. Even though the MacBook Neo is designed with premium materials, Apple did have to make compromises in other areas. For example, the …

Assisted dying bill will almost certainly fail due to a lack of time | Politics News

Assisted dying bill will almost certainly fail due to a lack of time | Politics News

Published by Sam Flores

Controversial legislation to permit assisted dying in England and Wales is set to fail because of a lack of parliamentary time, Sky News can reveal. The Labour chief whip in the Lords, Roy Kennedy, said this week that the government would not give the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill more time before the May deadline, when all legislation must have passed or automatically falls. The team behind the bill also confirmed they now expected the legislation in its current form to fail. There are six remaining sitting days left before May, when the King’s Speech happens, and the government is not repeating what it did in December by giving more time. Politics latest – follow live Advocates for the bill did not blame the government, which it said had been helpful to date, and instead aimed their fire on a minority of peers who have been asking thousands of questions about the details of the bill. Broadcaster and campaigner Esther Rantzen told Sky News: “This is absolute blatant sabotage. This is a handful …

Wuthering Heights review | Emerald Fennell’s revamp will almost certainly provoke pearl-clutching

Wuthering Heights review | Emerald Fennell’s revamp will almost certainly provoke pearl-clutching

Published by Daniella Wilson

Wuthering Heights is in cinemas from 13 February. Add it to your watchlist Emily Brontë’s gothic romance gets a radical revamp in this sizzling, amusing and stormy new screen adaptation from Saltburn’s Emerald Fennell, who bagged an Original Screenplay Oscar for her attention-grabbing 2020 debut Promising Young Woman. Casting Hollywood’s hottest properties, Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, as her leads, writer/director Fennell presents us with a version that’s unapologetically her own vision, lopping off the second half of the story and sexing things up to the max. We see how the young Heathcliff and Cathy (Adolescence’s Owen Cooper and Charlotte Mellington) are thrown together when Heathcliff is taken in by Cathy’s father Mr Earnshaw (Martin Clunes), who saves him from being savaged in the street by a man who may or may not be Heathcliff’s own father. It’s not long before the drunken Earnshaw is treating the boy roughly, but Heathcliff and Cathy become thick as thieves, a bond which grows into something all-consumingly romantic as they age. This connection is severed, apparently for good, …

Doctors Say AI Use Is Almost Certainly Linked to Developing Psychosis

Doctors Say AI Use Is Almost Certainly Linked to Developing Psychosis

Published by José Betancourt

Fiordaliso / Getty Images There continue to be numerous reports of people suffering severe mental health spirals after talking extensively with an AI chatbot. Some experts have dubbed the phenomenon “AI psychosis,” given the symptoms of psychosis these delusional episodes display — but the degree to which the AI tools are at fault, and whether the phenomenon warrants a clinical diagnosis, remains a significant topic of debate. Now, according to new reporting from The Wall Street Journal, we may be nearing a consensus. More and more doctors are agreeing that AI chatbots are linked to cases of psychosis, including top psychiatrists who reviewed the files of dozens of patients who engaged in prolonged, delusional conversations with models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Keith Sakata, a psychiatrist at the University of California, San Francisco, who has treated twelve patients who were hospitalized because of AI-induced psychosis, is one of them. “The technology might not introduce the delusion, but the person tells the computer it’s their reality and the computer accepts it as truth and reflects it back, so …

Earlier this month, journalist Mark Tapscott who operates Hillfaith, a ministry to Congressional staffers, wrote a piece titled “Odds are you haven’t heard a word about the most important upheaval in American culture and politics.” He says Gen Z (born mid-Nineties to 2010) is becoming more religious. Gen Z? Wishful thinking? In support, Tapscott offers a Barna Report on Gen Z (September 2, 2025): “ For the first time in decades, younger adults—Gen Z and Millennials—are now the most regular churchgoers, outpacing older generations, who once formed the backbone of church attendance.” Image Credit: digitalskillet1 – Adobe Stock He also notes these other straws in the wind: ● College Campus Revivals: Events such as the 2023 Asbury Revival have inspired similar gatherings across various university campuses, characterized by spontaneous worship, prayer, and expressions of faith.
