There is not the same smug gratification or sense of superiority that comes with having your against-the-odds bet come to glorious, unlikely fruition. And yet seeing One Battle After Another, the frontrunner by all accounts, pick up Best Picture at the Oscars on Sunday felt so good. So right. For once, the Academy didn’t mess this up. First, before any talk of industry politics or awards history, the film on face value: it is a powerhouse of an Oscar winner. The story of a washed up revolutionary (Leonardo DiCaprio) on the run with his disbelieving daughter (Chase Infiniti), it reveals itself in parts like a magician’s endless string of handkerchiefs, subplots of wildly different tones knotted together by Paul Thomas Anderson’s cinematic sensibility – and the manic score of Jonny …

China urges US to correct ‘erroneous ways’ over trade probes ahead of Paris talks

China urges US to correct ‘erroneous ways’ over trade probes ahead of Paris talks

Published by Sam Flores

Beijing said on Monday it has “lodged representations” and urged Washington to “correct its erroneous ways” after the US launched new trade probes last week, with negotiators from both countries meeting in Paris. Washington’s trade investigations target 60 economies including China and will look into “failures to take action on forced labor” and whether these burden or restrict US commerce. Those investigations came a day after a separate set of US probes centred on excess industrial capacity that target 16 trading partners including China, which Beijing’s foreign ministry criticised as “political manipulation”. “We urge the US side to immediately correct its erroneous ways, meet China halfway… and resolve issues through dialogue and negotiations,” Beijing’s commerce ministry said in a statement.

Broadcasters Must ‘Correct Course’ Amid Iran War Coverage

Broadcasters Must ‘Correct Course’ Amid Iran War Coverage

Published by Daniella Wilson

FCC chair Brendan Carr said broadcasters could lose their licenses if they do not “operate in the public interest,” reiterating President Donald Trump‘s criticism of media coverage of the Iran war. “Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions — also known as the fake news — have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up,” Carr wrote on X Saturday as he reshared a post Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.” He continued, “And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news.” In Trump’s original post, he slammed “an intentionally misleading headline …

A physical therapist says the way you sit and stand might be the cause of your back pain—here’s why and how to correct it

When you can’t shake a backache, it’s only natural to go in search of the cause, but that’s easier said than done if you suffer from the most common type—non-specific back pain. There can be a unique collection of reasons that have caused your individual case, but Nicole Shirley, a physical therapist for Cape Concierge Physical Therapy, suggests the way you sit and stand is a common contributory factor. It all comes down to the position of your pelvis. You may like “Overall posture is largely driven by the position of the pelvis. When the pelvis is not in a neutral position, it can significantly affect the alignment of the spine and how forces are distributed through the body,” says Shirley. Your pelvis can move out of a neutral position in one of two ways: posterior pelvic tilt and anterior pelvic tilt. “[Posterior pelvic tilt] commonly occurs with prolonged sitting and slouching,” says Shirley, while anterior pelvic tilt “is when the pelvis rotates forward and downward as a result of tight hip flexors and poor …
