‘The Vampire Lestat’ Turns It All the Way Up

‘The Vampire Lestat’ Turns It All the Way Up

“It’s the best, but it’s full-on,” says Anderson. “You don’t really get a lot of rest. And it’s dense writing, so you’re putting your whole body and brain into it.” “We’re all hyperaware that it’s a dream job,” Reid adds. “You get to do everything that you could possibly ever want to do as an actor in one single show. It’s quite stressful with how fast we move and how much they want to do, but if you don’t pinch yourself every day and go, ‘Wow, how fun is this?’ then you’re wasting your time.” The original Vampire Chronicles novels by Anne Rice have sold over 80 million copies, while the iconic 1994 film starring Hollywood juggernauts Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt grossed more than $200 million worldwide. The AMC TV show had, as showrunner and producer Rolin Jones tells it, much to live up to: “It was a remake of that thing from the ’90s, and the expectations are low.” And yet his Interview With the Vampire exists entirely outside the formidable shadows of …

Waymo turns old EV batteries into electricity for California, Texas

Google-owned robotaxi company Waymo is giving a new life to its old electric vehicle batteries — by using them to fill energy gaps in local grids. Instead of recycling the retired batteries, Waymo’s initiative will squeeze the last drops of electricity from them, and dispatch that power where it’s most needed. B2U Storage Solutions, which Waymo has partnered with on the initiative, says its EV battery storage systems “act as a vital reservoir.” They absorb surplus solar power during midday peaks then send it back to the grid during high-demand periods, typically in the late afternoon.  Mashable Light Speed SEE ALSO: Can Waymo and Waze fix cities’ potholes? To begin with, that extra energy will benefit California and Texas, two states in which the company already does plenty of business. Cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio are all serviced by Waymo. The Waymo/B2U partnership will deploy hundreds of megawatts of storage capacity across the grids, the companies say. That’s not a huge amount — the greater Los Angeles region receives …

Hundreds arrested in Paris after football revelry turns ugly – POLITICO

French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said seven officers were injured in clashes across the country. He called the disorder “absolutely unacceptable.” Far-right leader Marine Le Pen wrote on X: “Only in France does a football club’s victory spark riots. Only in France does everyone feel compelled to lock themselves in their homes on the evening of a victory to avoid being confronted with violence,” she said.
