Apple TV has unveiled first-look images for its “gripping new thriller” Last Seen, which features a starry cast including Dinner Ladies and I Swear star Maxine Peake. The series, which follows a police dispatcher (Colin From Accounts’s Patrick Brammall) who’s on a desperate hunt to find his daughter who disappeared 11 years ago, is set to premiere globally with two episodes on Wednesday 9 September 2026. A new episode will be released every Wednesday until 7 October. Adapted from Ryan David Jahn’s book The Dispatcher, the series follows Brammall’s character Ian Ridley, whose “life fell apart 11 years ago when his young daughter Maggie disappeared without a trace,” according to the official synopsis. It continues: “Now working as a police dispatcher, the only thing that has kept him going is his implacable refusal to accept that she might be gone forever. When he receives a distress call from a teenage girl he is certain is Maggie, he will stop at nothing to find her and reunite his broken family, whatever the cost.” Patrick Brammall in …

Here’s a clue, it’s not chips. But doctors say that you can satisfy the craving for a savory hit in another way: with an array of nuts. “Although nuts are known to be calorie dense, they contain an abundance of nutrients and studies suggest they may aid in weight loss, lower cholesterol and lower blood sugar levels in diabetics,” Dr. Ryan Gindi, a cardiologist at Henry Ford Health, said in a statement. Almonds and pistachios are recommended because they help lower blood pressure and contain filling protein and fiber. But if you fancy something sweet, doctors also recommend non-fat dairy products like greek yogurt. The food is linked to lower levels of cholesterol, a fat-like substance that can cause clogged arteries. Heart disease is the number one killer …

5 MacOS command line tools I swear by over their GUI counterparts

Kyle Kucharski/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET’s key takeaways If you want fast and efficient, the command line is the way to go. MacOS has plenty of handy CLI tools ready to be used. Each of these tools is free and easily installed. I know what you’re thinking: “MacOS is all about user-friendliness and GUI apps.” Although that may be true, you’d be remiss if you didn’t at least know about some of the terminal apps that are available to the OS. These terminal apps are lightweight, reliable, and much easier to use than you might think. Sure, you have to type (as opposed to point-and-click), but once you understand how these tools work, you might find them more efficient than their GUI counterparts. Also: 6 MacOS settings I immediately change on every new Mac – and why If you’re still questioning this idea, keep reading and see if any of these tools might tempt you to open the MacOS terminal app.  1. pandoc Have you ever needed to convert a file …

“I Swear” tests our compassion

“I Swear” tests our compassion

Published by Sam Flores

It’s remarkably unfortunate that the way most Americans learned about “I Swear,” Kirk Jones’ biographical drama about Tourette syndrome advocate John Davidson, was by the exact kind of unintentional public gaffe the film exists to assuage. While Tourette syndrome has many complex symptoms, “I Swear” focuses largely on coprolalia, a symptom affecting approximately 10% of individuals with Tourette’s and manifests in the involuntary use of obscene language. Throughout the film, Davidson (played with exceptional depth by Robert Aramayo) wrestles with the public’s misunderstanding of his condition, enduring the voluntary violence doled out as a result of his involuntary tics. Though the film can be both overly didactic and schmaltzy, it earnestly attempts to dredge up compassion in the viewer, helping them to understand the nuances of Tourette syndrome as a way of championing both accessibility and acceptance. But earlier this year, Davidson inadvertently found himself and his condition at the center of a media firestorm. While Delroy Lindo and Michael B. Jordan presented an award during February’s BAFTA ceremony, Davidson shouted the N-word, which was …

Colorado Forces Lawyers To Swear They Won’t Help Feds Nab Illegals

Colorado Forces Lawyers To Swear They Won’t Help Feds Nab Illegals

Published by Jenni Sidey

Lawyers in the Mile High State are now being strong-armed by Democrats into signing a radical anti-immigration-enforcement pledge just to do their jobs. Starting March 30, 2026, every private attorney logging into Colorado’s official Courts E-Filing system (CCE) must certify – under penalty of perjury – that they will never use or share non-public personal information from court records to assist federal immigration authorities. Refuse? You’re shut out of the system entirely. No filing lawsuits, no checking case files, no representing clients in state court. Period. The certification reads in part: “I certify under penalty of perjury that I will not use personal identifying information obtained from the database… for the purpose of investigating for, participating in, cooperating with, or assisting in federal immigration enforcement, including enforcement of civil immigration laws and 8 U.S.C. sec. 1325 or 1326, unless required by federal or state law or to comply with a court-issued subpoena, warrant, or order.” Colorado is now requiring lawyers in the State, as a condition of logging into its court e-filing system, to promise not to …
