It wasn’t a nightmare exactly, but it was vivid and unsettling—a circus of imagery in which the other commuters stuck in gridlock beside you were all octopi  or your feet were transformed into a pair of horse hooves while going through airport security.  Maybe you don’t often remember your dreams but this one, this episode that fused the mundane with the outlandish, it sticks. Even days later, you can still see those tentacles gripping the steering wheels or feel the awkwardness of your gait running to catch your flight.  It couldn’t have been that joint you smoked before bed, could it? Science says maybe. How weed effects sleep cycles Reports of vivid …

Trump says Iran agreed to not have nuclear weapons, but ‘they can change their mind’

Trump says Iran agreed to not have nuclear weapons, but ‘they can change their mind’

Published by Sam Flores

President Donald Trump takes questions from reporters during a Cabinet meeting in the Cabinet Room of the White House on May 27, 2026 in Washington, DC. Win Mcnamee | Getty Images The Iranian regime has agreed not to have nuclear weapons, President Donald Trump told the New York Post’s “Pod Force One” podcast — but he added that Tehran could still “change their mind.” “I did have to say we have to do something about Iran, because regardless of how well we’re doing [economically] we can’t let them have a nuclear weapon,” he said in the interview, which was published Wednesday. “They’ve already agreed they’re not going to have a nuclear weapon.” When asked to confirm that the Iranian regime had agreed to that term, Trump said: “Oh yeah, they’ve agreed to that.” “I mean, now they can change their mind, but that was one of the things they’ve had to agree, they’ve agreed to that. That was the big thing,” he said. Iran’s foreign ministry declined to comment on Trump’s interview when contacted by …

Siri in iOS 27: Every New Feature and Change to Expect

Siri in iOS 27: Every New Feature and Change to Expect

Published by skeptic

Apple first introduced the idea of a smarter version of Siri at the 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference. ‌Siri‌ with Apple Intelligence was supposed to launch as part of iOS 18, but the underlying architecture wasn’t good enough, and Apple was forced to delay the feature. We’re now expecting a new version of ‌Siri‌ in iOS 27 with some long-awaited smarts. Siri’s New Capabilities Based on Apple’s promises and rumors about what’s coming in the new version of iOS, ‌Siri‌ in ‌iOS 27‌ will be nothing like ‌Siri‌ in iOS 26. In 2024, Apple showed us three ways that ‌Siri‌ will improve, but two years have passed and extra work has been done, so we’re expecting even more than what Apple demonstrated back then. ‌Siri‌ is going to be able to draw on user data and information from Apple devices, with access to personal data for completing tasks. The assistant is also going to be able to do more with apps, and it will be able to tell what’s on the screen to answer questions. Personal …

Trump is tanking decades-old policy toward Taiwan — but it’s not too late for change

Trump is tanking decades-old policy toward Taiwan — but it’s not too late for change

Published by Sam Flores

President Trump seems determined to break U.S.-China and U.S.-Taiwan relations in as many historic ways as possible, but he persists in retaining the one policy most likely to result in cross-strait, regional and potentially global war.  Within days of his first election in 2016, the president-elect did what had been unprecedented until then — he accepted a congratulatory telephone… Source link

Hope, Change, Troll

In the spring of 2006, when The Hills—a reality-TV show about the lives of privileged young adults living in Los Angeles—premiered on MTV, Spencer Pratt wasn’t part of the cast. Instead, he was sitting at home, watching with his mom and her best friend. His first impression? “The Hills was aggressively boring,” he writes in his aptly titled memoir, The Guy You Loved to Hate. “Like watching paint dry, except the paint was really pretty and had perfect lighting.” Pratt, who was then in his early 20s, was no stranger to reality TV. He had previously appeared on The Princes of Malibu, a short-lived Fox show about Brody and Brandon Jenner—the handsome, wavy-haired sons of the Olympic athlete Caitlyn Jenner and the songwriter Linda Thompson. After watching The Hills, Pratt soon realized that the two shows shared an executive producer, Sean Travis. As Pratt tells it, he called Travis up, asking—or, more precisely, demanding—that he and Brody be cast on the next season. When they were rebuffed, the duo started showing up at the Hollywood …

If you’re a walker and want to start running, a physical therapist gives his best advice on how to make the change

If you’re a walker and want to start running, a physical therapist gives his best advice on how to make the change

Published by Jenni Sidey

The transition from walking to running might sound easy—it’s the same movement, but faster, right? However, the physiological load, injury risk and energy required are significantly higher when you run than when you walk. Catch Hurst, a board-certified specialist in orthopedic physical therapy with ATI Physical Therapy, says that rather than leaping from a walk to a run, you should aim to build a bridge between the two activities. Latest Videos From You may like “If someone has only been walking, I would not have them jump straight into a 20-minute run,” he says. “I’d keep the habit familiar and just add small pieces of running into the walk. “Walking breaks are not a sign you are bad at running. They are one of the best tools we have to build running tolerance without overloading the body.” He explains that the crux of the issue is not whether you can run. It’s about how well you recover after running. Start your week with achievable workout ideas, health tips and wellbeing advice in your inbox. “Mild …

UK’s Ofcom Investigates Airing Of Trump Interview Calling Climate Change A “Hoax”

UK’s Ofcom Investigates Airing Of Trump Interview Calling Climate Change A “Hoax”

Published by Jenni Sidey

Authored by Jonathan Turley, I have been writing about the decline of free speech in the United Kingdom for years, including in my book The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage.  One of the most critical components of the British censorship system is Ofcom, the Office of Communications, which regulates the broadcasting, internet, telecommunications, and postal industries. The most recent controversy is detailed in the Telegraph, with Ofcom investigating GB News over the simple replaying of a Trump interview in which he called climate change a “hoax.”  Ofcom is investigating GB News for failing to challenge Trump’s characterization, even though many people share his views on climate change. It is a breathtaking demonstration of the censorship culture in the United Kingdom. World leaders make controversial statements in every interview. A free press allows the public to hear such viewpoints and reach their own conclusions on the merits of such arguments or policies. The debate over the climate change data continues to rage. The dates for dire predictions for massive environmental disasters, including those of Al …
