Taylor Sheridan‘s Lioness has put in a lot of work to make their cast look very different than they do in real life. Created by Sheridan, the hit Paramount+ series is a spy thriller that follows the leader of a CIA team that enlists female operatives — known as Lionesses — to go undercover in the war on terror. The first two seasons followed Joe (Zoe Saldaña) as she recruited Cruz (Laysla De Oliveira) and Josie (Genesis Rodriguez) to go undercover. A season 2 mission put the team at risk that nearly ended in a group sacrifice. Coming off the…

TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas voters will decide Tuesday whether to elect state Supreme Court justices rather than have the governor appoint them, a push from conservatives who have chafed for years over court decisions they disagreed with on issues such as abortion, school funding and the death penalty. If the constitutional amendment passes, supporters hope to elect at least four conservative, anti-abortion justices to the seven-member court by 2033. Kansas is considering the change amid concerns that increasingly contentious and expensive judicial elections in other states are making their courts more partisan and less independent. Spending in a single state…

Everyone has a statistic about enterprise AI. Depending on the survey you come across, 70% to 90% of projects never make it past the pilot stage. For the last two years, “pilot purgatory” has been enterprise AI’s defining narrative. Then came Palantir. If Wall Street wants proof that enterprise artificial intelligence has escaped the lab, few companies make a stronger case. Palantir has posted growth rates that would be extraordinary for a startup, let alone a company expected to top $7.6 billion in revenue this year. CEO Alex Karp told shareholders that the company’s results for the first quarter of…

The Green Party hasn’t come particularly close to winning the riding in the past. Its best results to date were third-place finishes in 2008 and 2015, while its highest share of the vote…

Inflation and gas prices are a bit like the teachers you had in grade school – they’re stubborn AF. Tubi is stubborn, too – it’s one of the few streamers out there that’s been completely free for years, even after competitors like Netflix and HBO Max raised their prices. More importantly, the streamer’s library is filled with hits from the distant past and present. That’s especially true in August, when Tubi is adding such blockbusters as the first three Mission: Impossible movies with Tom Cruise, the original Ghost Rider film with Nicolas Cage (take that, Ryan Gosling) and the classic…

El incendio forestal declarado en Casas de Millán (Cáceres) el sábado por la tarde evoluciona de forma favorable y se encamina hacia la estabilización tras haber perimetrado ya el 70% de su superficie. Esta mejoría ha permitido autorizar el regreso a sus viviendas de los 800 vecinos que habían sido evacuados de este municipio y de la pedanía de Grimaldo (Cañaveral), aunque deberán permanecer confinados en sus casas por motivos de seguridad y para facilitar el tránsito de los equipos de extinción. La decisión se ha dado a conocer este domingo tras la reunión del Centro de Control Operativo (CECOP),…

Is there anything you can do to improve your own brain function in just a few minutes a day? New research suggests that the answer may be yes. Five to 10 minutes of daily brain training can significantly improve your brain health, no matter what age you are. And the longer you continue this daily habit, the more your brain improves, with no apparent ceiling on the benefits. Those are the results of a study by researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas Center for Brain Health. Researchers followed about 4,000 participants to see if a small daily brain training session…
