Micron Technology, the largest U.S. memory chipmaker, is a driving force pushing the U.S. Congress to pass legislation that would put new export restrictions on equipment its Chinese competitors use to make their chips, according to people familiar with the matter. A U.S. House of Representatives panel on Wednesday is set to vote on the "MATCH Act," a bill designed to close gaps in restrictions on chipmaking equipment. It would also pressure foreign companies that sell equipment to Chinese chipmaking facilities to align with export curbs on U.S. companies like Lam Research and Applied Materials.

Prominent Maga bros have suggested the 20-year-old son of the US president should be called up this year. Why does this seem so vanishingly unlikely? It can’t be easy being the youngest son of a man who compares himself to the son of God . Rather a lot to live up to, isn’t there? Still, Barron Trump seems to be taking it in his stride.

Prominent Maga bros have suggested the 20-year-old son of the US president should be called up this year. Why does this seem so vanishingly unlikely? It can’t be easy being the youngest son of a man who compares himself to the son of God . Rather a lot to live up to, isn’t there? Still, Barron Trump seems to be taking it in his stride. Rather than rebelling and becoming a socialist, the 20-year-old is shaping up to be just like dad: Barron is already worth $150m , according to a 2025 Forbes calculation. That’s largely from World Liberty Financial, a Trump family cryptocurrency company he co-founded . (Reportedly it’s Barron who got the president into crypto.) Barron isn’t just trading alt-coins. The university student has also launched a yerba mate brand called Sollos. (Yerba mate is a caffeinated herbal tea from South America). And he’s been engaged with politics behind the scenes. Barron is widely credited for boosting his dad’s most recent election campaign by connecting him to manosphere influencers such as Adin Ross and Theo Von. Continue reading...
Workers and labor advocates say the company’s injury rates and how it treats injured staff remain a problem Amazon, one of the world’s largest employers, has for years faced scrutiny over its safety record.

Workers and labor advocates say the company’s injury rates and how it treats injured staff remain a problem Amazon, one of the world’s largest employers, has for years faced scrutiny over its safety record. When Billy Foister, a 48-year-old worker, died after a heart attack inside one of the tech giant’s warehouses in September 2019, managers were accused of telling staff to “get back to work”. When another worker died this month at a distribution center in Troutdale, Oregon, an Amazon spokesperson claimed they had collapsed from an “existing medical issue”. They denied a report that a nearby employee was told: “Please get back to work.” Continue reading...
A commuter’s entrapment provides a taut, unnerving and rare example of an adaptation that holds close to the video game on which it is based A glitch in the matrix, a rip in existence’s fragile fabric, and suddenly everything we knew about the world is snuffed out … or perhaps revealed to us for the first time.

A commuter’s entrapment provides a taut, unnerving and rare example of an adaptation that holds close to the video game on which it is based A glitch in the matrix, a rip in existence’s fragile fabric, and suddenly everything we knew about the world is snuffed out … or perhaps revealed to us for the first time. We see its arbitrariness, its cruelty, its vast indifference to the lab rats scurrying around frantically within it, heading for a death they cannot imagine. Genki Kawamura’s psychological mystery is inspired by the Japanese video game of the same name , and also by the repetitions of Groundhog Day and the vertiginous perspectives of the Overlook Hotel in The Shining, with those corridors whose corners cannot be rounded without coming face-to-face with something horrible. Kazunari Ninomiya plays a depressed young man on a crowded rush-hour Japanese subway train who one day sees a boorish commuter screaming at a young mother for not keeping her baby quiet. On alighting at the platform he takes a call from his ex-girlfriend – and that iPhone ringtone is very upsetting all by itself, guaranteed to have every audience member reflexively reaching for their own phone with guilty dread. She reveals that she is pregnant and something in the coincidence of these events unnerves the young man. Continue reading...
It’s crucial to understanding how gender is affecting our ability to rally behind a shared ecological vision Feminist influencer Liz Plank opens her groundbreaking book For the Love of Men with a bold statement: “There is no greater threat to humankind than our current definitions of masculinity.” She means it at several levels, from the most intimate: how male partners are the leading cause of de...
It’s crucial to understanding how gender is affecting our ability to rally behind a shared ecological vision Feminist influencer Liz Plank opens her groundbreaking book For the Love of Men with a bold statement: “There is no greater threat to humankind than our current definitions of masculinity.” She means it at several levels, from the most intimate: how male partners are the leading cause of death for pregnant women in the US; to the most macro: how associating “eco-conscious behaviors with femininity and a repudiation of masculinity” is literally killing the planet. This Earth Day, it’s worth reflecting on why this is so and what can be done about it. While it won’t come as news to most that, compared to women, men litter more , recycle less , and leave a bigger carbon footprint There’s something more extreme than simple thoughtlessness causing young men, in a form of anti-environmental protest known as “ rolling coal ”, to modify the diesel engines on their pick-up trucks to deliberately belch large amounts of grey-black exhaust, and then run Priuses and bicyclists off the road .

House Democratic leader says result should serve as a warning to Ron DeSantis after latest blow to Donald Trump’s redistricting battle Polls showed a close race in the weeks leading up to Tuesday’s vote, with signs that right-leaning voters in Virginia’s rural areas were incensed by new maps that would see many of them represented by lawmakers who live in the state’s northern suburbs outside Washi...
House Democratic leader says result should serve as a warning to Ron DeSantis after latest blow to Donald Trump’s redistricting battle Polls showed a close race in the weeks leading up to Tuesday’s vote, with signs that right-leaning voters in Virginia’s rural areas were incensed by new maps that would see many of them represented by lawmakers who live in the state’s northern suburbs outside Washington DC. The surveys also showed that voters were divided on Spanberger’s performance as governor, with Republicans accusing her of lying about her moderate credentials on the campaign trail then quickly pivoting left as governor, including by supporting the referendum. If Florida Republicans proceed with this illegal scheme, they will only create more prime-pick up opportunities for Democrats . We are prepared to take them all on, and we are prepared to win.

Ferrexpo Plc slumped 13% after the Ukrainian iron ore producer warned that without fresh funding it could run out of cash by the end of August. The London-listed company said on Wednesday that it’s considering an equity raise of at least $100 million as it races to shore up liquidity after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine curbed its operating capacity. That would support its operations over the next 18 months. “The board believes that an equity capital raise is currently the only viable solution in the timeframe required,” Ferrexpo said Wednesday in a statement. Ferrexpo faces mounting operational and financial pressures stemming from the war, including energy shortages, logistics disruptions and legal proceedings. The company said failure to complete the fundraising on schedule — potentially by April 30 — is likely to lead to the suspension of its shares and increases the risk of insolvency. Ferrexpo’s output is running at about a quarter of pre-war capacity, while cash reserves have fallen sharply from over $100 million at the end of 2024. The group said it has about $17 million of accessible cash as of April 17 and expects to receive $7.7 million from the sale of its transhipping vessel Iron Destiny. Even with those proceeds, Ferrexpo reiterated that its cash runway extends only until late summer, leaving it exposed to volatility in iron ore prices, energy costs and operational disruptions. Ferrexpo said the fundraising would likely be structured as a placing of new shares, subject to board and shareholder approval, with backing from its largest investor Fevamotinico still under discussion. The shareholder, which holds about 49% of the Ferrexpo, is weighing the potential dilution from the deal and whether to participate. The company also flagged risks tied to its historical association with founder Kostyantin Zhevago , whose legal issues and sanctions in Ukraine have contributed to the suspension of VAT refunds and constrained access to financing.
