Radicalised by the inventiveness of groups such as the Harlem Renaissance, the LA-based musician is determined to reclaim the radical possibilities of culture in an age of institutional and algorithmic exploitation ‘For many years, I’ve called myself a surrealist blues poet,” says Aja Monet in her warm, deep voice. Sitting in a London cafe, the Los Angeles-based artist looks striking, with her blue braids woven up in an intricate style. She was up late uploading the final master recordings for her new album, The Color of Rain, which she says was heavily influenced by her reading around how “surrealism was a real intentional device that artists used in response to the rise of fascism throughout history”. High-minded and yet invested in the cut-and-thrust of our lives today, it’s a typical comment from Monet. With themes around love, resistance and the absurdity of our current times, her performance, poetry and music offers a balm for the suffering and abuse meted out by establishment power. Already in 2026, her second poetry book Florida Water was nominated for an award by the foundational US civil rights organisation the NAACP, and she performed alongside Stevie Wonder at Time magazine’s event celebrating Martin Luther King Day.

For decades, there was no record of Andrena rehni exisiting in the US. In 2018 it was found in Maryland and five years later I found it in New York State I’ve loved insects ever since I was a kid and spent summers looking for them. My mum would always tell me that from the age of one – even before I could walk – I would happily sit outside, watching ants and trying to follow them back to their colony. As an adult, I take people out to meadows with nets to catch insects and take a close look at them. It’s about trying to cultivate a childlike curiosity that people have lost or forgotten in daily life. Continue reading...

F1 has five weeks before the next race in Miami and they will need every minute to fix a hugely complicated problem Oliver Bearman emerging unhurt from a huge accident at the Japanese Grand Prix was considered a lucky escape. Formula One must think it is catching a break given there is a full month to work out how best to mitigate against it happening again. It is going to need every minute of that time given the complexity of the problem. Bearman’s Haas car was travelling at 307kmh (191mph) when he was forced to veer off track as he came up behind the relatively slow-moving Alpine of Franco Colapinto. The closing speed between the two cars was 50kmh, a frightening pace. The scenario was one many had been warning about before the season had even begun. With the deployment of electrical energy, and its subsequent recovery now an integral part of F1, Bearman was using his boost mode while Colapinto was recovering energy, hence the big difference in speed.

In this article 981-HK Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT The Rebel-Quad is the second-generation product from Rebellions and is made up of four Rebel AI chips. Rebellions, a South Korean firm, is looking to rival companies like Nvidia in AI chips. Rebellions South Korean AI chip startup Rebellions said Monday it has raised $400 million as it looks to expand into the U.S. market ahead of a public listing. Mirae Asset Financial Group and the Korea National Growth Fund, an investment vehicle of the South Korean government, led the round, which values Rebellions at $2.34 billion. Rebellions is one of the many semiconductor startups looking to capitalize on demand for AI chips and investor appetite for companies that are fueling the build-out of infrastructure for the technology. Sunghyun Park, CEO of Rebellions, told CNBC that the money will be used to expand into the U.S. "Our main target right now is big labs," Park said, naming companies like Meta and xAI as target customers, rather than hyperscalers like Amazon and Microsoft . Park added that Rebellions currently has some active proof-of-concept trials with customers in the U.S. The CEO also said the company is preparing for an initial public offering, as CNBC previously reported , but declined to give any specifics on the timeline or listing location. AI inference focus Rebellions' chips are focused on inferencing, the process of running AI applications rather than training them. While Nvidia 's graphics processing units (GPUs) have been the gold standard for training AI models, there is an increasing focus on chips that can run inferencing processes quickly while also being more energy efficient. Rebellions sells server systems made up of its Rebel100 NPU chips. The South Korean startup competes not only with Nvidia but also with a growing list of other startups from Cerebras to Groq — a company that Nvidia licenses technology from .

In 2025, Patrick McGee published Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company , a deeply-reported look at the tech giant's investment in - and growing reliance on - China. The following excerpt, pulled from Chapter 9 of Apple in China , examines the company's relationship with Foxconn, today the infamous builder of iPhones. Foxconn wasn't always a formidable company, though. As McGee's reporting illustrates, its exponential growth was thanks in large part to founder Terry Gou's cultivation of a relationship with Apple. That relationship played a huge role in taking the company from a supply outlet for affordable components to, … Read the full story at The Verge.

Stefan Aue/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Introduction Tesla, Inc. ( TSLA ) today stands at a $1.4 trillion market cap, trading at an extraordinarily high 179x forward P/E ratio. In my previous article on TSLA, I covered how TSLA’s insistence on vision-only self-driving technology is not going to be competitive with other robotaxi companies like Alphabet Inc.’s ( GOOG ) Waymo, which are already steadily expanding globally with their technology based on lidar, radar, cameras, and HD maps, while TSLA’s robotaxis struggle to get regulatory approval. I also discussed how TSLA’s first-mover advantage in the EV market has eroded due to competitor EVs catching up. One of the core critiques of my article was that robotaxis are only one of many drivers of growth for TSLA. These drivers of growth are Optimus robots, energy systems, and the new focus on semiconductors, with the recently announced Austin chip factory . I am not convinced by any of these drivers of growth, and I maintain my previous rating of Strong Sell. Since writing my first article on TSLA, shares are down almost 25%, and I believe there is still room for further decline. I believe that the energy segment is the sole bright spot in TSLA’s business, Optimus robots are far from mass production and currently not even competitive relative to other players, and the new semiconductor fabs are going to burn capital and dilute shareholder value with little likelihood for competitiveness. The Energy Business Is Actually Quite Good Sarfatti Analysis on Tesla Investor Presentation Data The sole area of consistent fundamental strength in the TSLA portfolio is the energy generation and storage division. Since 2021, the energy division has shown growth of +357%, far outpacing the growth of any other TSLA division. To put this in context, the energy division showed a 5-year CAGR of 46.28%, while the automotive division showed 10.15% and the services & other revenue segment showed 34.74%. Not only is the top line of thi...

Human rights group says US is facing an ‘emergency’ ICE director said agency will play ‘key part’ at tournament Amnesty International has warned that the World Cup, spread across three North American countries, risks becoming a “stage for repression”. The human rights organisation published a report on Monday – “ Humanity Must Win ” – calling on Fifa and the host countries, the US, Canada and Mexico, to take urgent action to protect fans, players and other communities. Fifa has promised a tournament where everyone “feels safe, included and free to exercise their rights”. But Amnesty said that pledge sat in “stark contrast” to conditions in all three host nations, especially the US, which hosts three-quarters of the 104 matches. Continue reading...

Shortly after the opening bell, we will be exiting our position in Cisco Systems , selling 600 shares at roughly $80.48. Following the trade, Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust will no longer own a position in CSCO. We're making a sale on Monday into the market's positive morning to replenish our cash position following our annual distribution to charity. This year's distribution was $298,017, bringing the total since the Charitable Trust's inception to over $4.5 million. As a result of our donation, our cash position has decreased to 6.5% from roughly 15%, and we believe these levels are too low given the current period of heightened uncertainty and volatility during the war in Iran. This sale will lift our cash levels to around 8%, providing us with more flexibility to be opportunistic in broader market sell-offs. While we are hesitant to be sellers after a correction in some of the major indices, Cisco shares have been remarkably resilient in the market's downturn. Shares are up roughly 4% year to date, outperforming the broader S & P 500's 6% decline and the roughly 8% drop in the Nasdaq 100 . The stock is also up about 1% since the start of the Middle East conflict on Feb. 28. We remain positive on Cisco's accelerating networking order growth and the gains it's making at hyperscale and enterprise customers. A potential peak in memory prices would be a tailwind to gross margins, too. However, there are reasons for caution. In addition to wanting more cash, we are ringing the register on Cisco and taking the win due to ongoing concerns about its cybersecurity business. This segment has underwhelmed for several quarters now as it rolls off its "legacy" product offerings and Splunk transitions to a cloud-subscription model from on-premise deals. Sentiment around Cisco's security unit likely won't be getting better any time soon due to the perceived threat of AI disrupting the cybersecurity industry. We believe those fears are overblown for Club names CrowdStrike and Pal...
