German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Iran’s current leadership may be nearing its end amid mass protests across the country. “If a regime can only stay in power through the use of violence, then it is effectively finished,” Merz said on Tuesday during a visit to Bengaluru in India. “I assume that we may now be witnessing the final days and weeks of this regime.” Merz had already condemned the act...
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Iran’s current leadership may be nearing its end amid mass protests across the country. “If a regime can only stay in power through the use of violence, then it is effectively finished,” Merz said on Tuesday during a visit to Bengaluru in India. “I assume that we may now be witnessing the final days and weeks of this regime.” Merz had already condemned the actions of Iranian security forces against peaceful protesters on Monday, describing them as...

A crime committed in the home of a regular black American family results in paranoia on all sides in this 81-minute film from Nnamdi Asomugha Here is a compact drama that twists itself like a tourniquet over 81 minutes, as a bad situation turns into a catastrophe for an ordinary American family. Late one night in an unnamed city, construction worker Chris ( Nnamdi Asomugha , also the film’s director and co-writer) finishes a DIY project in his own home and sinks a beer or two.

Then he gets into bed with wife Alex (Aja Naomi King) for a chat and a soon-abandoned attempt to have exhausted marital sex while their infant baby sleeps next door. Continue reading...

You know you should have an emergency fund . While most experts suggest setting aside enough to cover three to six months' worth of bills, it's up to you to determine how much you're most comfortable keeping on hand. For example, if you're self-employed or your income varies by month, you may decide you need more. Once you've decided how large your emergency fund should be, the question becomes the best place to keep the money. You can store it in a checking or savings account, but unless those accounts pay an interest rate that exceeds inflation, your money will lose value each month. You could invest it in a brokerage account , but depending on the type of account you open, you could pay penalties for withdrawing it when needed. If you haven't looked into a no-penalty certificate of deposit (CD), you may be missing the best place to store your emergency fund. Here's what you need to know about no-penalty CDs.

Malaysia said it will take legal action against Elon Musk ’s X for failing to protect users in the Southeast Asian nation, just days after it banned the artificial intelligence tool Grok over its generation of sexual content. The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission said it will commence legal proceedings shortly against X Corp. and Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI LLC. It said it is pursuing it with Malaysia’s Ministry of Communications. “This action concerns their failure to ensure user safety in Malaysia in relation to the use of Grok,” the communications regulator said in a statement on Tuesday. The move marks an escalation in Malaysia’s actions against X as the government seeks to shield citizens from harmful online content. Malaysia on Sunday joined Indonesia in restricting access to Grok, citing repeated misuse of the tool to generate “obscene, sexually explicit, indecent, grossly offensive, and non-consensual manipulated images, including content involving women and minors.” X did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment. An email to xAI yielded the response “Legacy Media Lies.”
