From action thrillers to sci-fi flicks, a deluge of recent releases are riddled with self-satisfied smarm The new Hulu movie Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice has been marketed as a genre-mashing wild ride, with plenty of South by Southwest festival reactions and even genuine full reviews delighting in its supposed mixture of sci-fi, action, romance and buddy comedy. That’s a hell of a lot of genres. While watching it, I found myself wondering if the number of elements in play is supposed to distract from how its comedy has three deadening and similar modes. One involves characters being unexpectedly familiar with seemingly incongruous elements of pop culture: it opens with a scientist tinkering with his time-travel machine while singing along to Why Should I Worry?, a niche Billy Joel song from the old Disney cartoon Oliver & Company; later, there’s a long conversation about a bunch of criminal types’ deep familiarity with the TV show Gilmore Girls . If that doesn’t sound funny enough, writer-director BenDavid Grabinski finds the flip side equally hilarious: people not knowing things. Gags include a guy who hasn’t heard of Winnie the Pooh, a guy who doesn’t know the proper name of chloroform, and a guy who doesn’t know what the word “comeuppance” means. These are all different guys. The third, even less sophisticated strain of comedy in Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, are characters who fuckin’ swear. Talk about fuckin’ comedy! Sometimes their names even swear: one guy is nicknamed, get this, Dumbass Tony! In every detail of the movie, you can feel the heavy hand of the screenwriter, straining for irreverence, desperate to show that he’s made something that’s not like the other, regular screenplays out there.

The former PM has no valid response when progressives raise a voice over war crimes, so he seeks to mute them. But we’ll take no moral lectures from him The left, claims Tony Blair, has forged an “alliance with Islamists”. He goes further: this is simply the latest mutation of antisemitism. Extraordinary accusations require extraordinary evidence. Yet unlike with his illegal war on Iraq, our former prime minister has not even troubled himself to assemble a dodgy dossier. This latest tirade was published by the Free Press, a woke-bashing, pro-Israel publication founded by journalist Bari Weiss, now accused of pro-Trump censorship in her new role as editor-in-chief of CBS News. The substance of Blair’s charge is what he calls “opposition to Israel”. This has become an increasingly familiar allegation. As the popularity of the Green party of England and Wales surges, its opposition to Israel’s genocide is recast as sectarianism. Owen Jones is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

Former Infowars video editor and field producer spoke on his experience working on the show in an NPR interview Sign up for the Breaking News US email to get newsletter alerts in your inbox A former video editor and field producer for Alex Jones’s Infowars has said his work for the notorious conspiracy theorist was “nonsense” and “lies”, but he kept at it for four years in his 20s because the far-right media company’s founder was a magnetic presence and it earned him good money. Josh Owens made those revealing remarks in an NPR interview published on Tuesday promoting his new memoir about once having been an employee of Jones and Infowars – a conversation that also detailed the hand he said he had in fabricating a video of an operative of the Islamic State (IS) terror group sneaking into the US from Mexico immediately after a beheading.

Armani revamps a favourite, Clarins adds a tint to its serum and a new base from Carisa Janes will suit anyone who hates powders Three very big hitters have new foundations: one risky reformulation of a cult classic; one addition to a wildly popular skincare franchise; and one to launch a new brand from a beauty legend. Let’s start with Armani’s Luminous Silk (£49 for 30ml), loved by many for its buildable, versatile coverage, and perhaps the most worn bridal foundation of all time. While I’m not against a reformulation in principle (technology, regulations and ingredients move on, and that’s all for the better), Armani does seem to have reformulated here for little discernible reason beyond Google Analytics.

智东西4月1日消息，上个周末，前端大神的开源项目Pretext迅速引爆GitHub，至今Star数已飙升至 2.82万 ，开发者的官宣推文浏览量已超 2100万次 ，成为全球开发者社区焦点。 Pretext由Midjourney前端工程师、开源JavaScript库React核心团队成员Cheng Lou重磅开源，是仅 几KB 大小的纯TypeScript库，前端UI渲染速度比传统工具快约 500倍 。Cheng Lou透露，Pretext的实现是通过 向Claude Code和Codex 展示浏览器的真实基准，并让它们在每一个重要的容器宽度下进行测量和迭代，持续运行数周完成的。 Cheng Lou在社交平台X上对Pretext给出了 极高评价：“未来几年UI工程领域最重要的基础组件之一。” Pretext还 支持开发者所能想到的所有语言，兼容各种浏览器特性差异 。不过他也提到Pretext比传统方式快约500倍的对比可能不公平。 其强大的灵活性更是激发了开发者的创作热情，目前社交平台X上已掀起Pretext应用热潮，如用Pretext做游戏、MV，手搓文字环绕、流动效果。 知名歌曲Bad Apple!!那段经典、经常被拿来各种魔改的黑白影绘视频，开发者让歌词文本通过位移变形特效，拼出了人物、城堡的轮廓，且随音乐旋律丝滑变化。 Pretext受热捧的背后，核心在于其跳出了传统前端排版的方案， 避开前端UI渲染中最费时费力的操作之一DOM ，这一难题长期困扰着全球前端开发者，更是大型前端项目、高并发场景下的短板。 新方案采用自研文本测量逻辑，以浏览器自身的字体引擎作为真实基准，既保证了排版的精准度，又将渲染效率提升至新高度， 更重要的是，这种创新架构天然适配AI迭代优化 ，或为未来前端排版的智能化、自动化发展预留巨大空间。 有趣的是，Cheng Lou还自曝，Vibe Coding不够，边等结果边转呼啦圈就是正确的做法，他透露做Pretext这个月下来，他人都瘦了快2磅。 01.一个页面放几十万个文本框 ，， 丝滑滚动不卡顿 UI设计的传统方案中，因为文字复杂多变，所以需要依赖DOM读尺寸，这需要强制浏览器重新计算整个页面布局，会导致页面卡顿、不可预测、性能差。因此做高性能动态排版的难度很大。 但在AI实时生成UI、空间计算、3D界面发展迅速的时代，这种慢且不可控的文...

Markets seem to perpetually swing between hope and despair these days. US President Donald Trump said he foresaw ending the war on Iran within two to three weeks , suggesting the US had largely accomplished its military goals and would leave it to other nations to resolve issues with the Strait of Hormuz. And just like that, Asian stocks jumped the most in a year and bonds extended gains on optimism the Middle East conflict that jolted global markets and disrupted energy supplies may be nearing a conclusion. The advance followed gains on Wall Street. Oil dropped — Brent futures fell below $100 a barrel for the first time in a week, even as the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed and more US troops arrived in the region. Trump indicated that it was possible that Iran could still reach a deal with the US during that timeframe but said an agreement with Tehran was not necessary for the war to end. He added the US would leave when Iran was not able to obtain nuclear weapons and claimed the regime now in power was better than the leadership before the war. Will this rally last? We’ve been here before. As my colleague Haslinda Amin said on her Insight program today, “another day, another timeline.” Trump has vacillated between claiming progress in diplomatic talks with Tehran and threatening to escalate strikes as he becomes increasingly insistent about obtaining a ceasefire. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a post on X that Trump would address the nation Wednesday night “to provide an important update on Iran.” Let’s see if that brings hope, or despair. What You Need to Know Today India was forced to roll back a huge hike in jet-fuel prices for local flights within hours of pushing them to a record , bringing fresh upheaval to an industry grappling with the effects of the conflict in the Middle East.

JuSun/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis AI infrastructure encompasses not only leading-edge chips but also the "connective tissue" within data centers, such as cables and connection technologies that enable high-speed data transmission. In my previous research on Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd ( CRDO ), my view was that the aggressive growth in hyperscalers’ CapEx represented financial injections into the order backlog for data transmission technologies, which is now not only being confirmed but is accelerating. Company quarterly earnings confirmed strong financial results, and forecasts for the next quarter were raised. The market reaction, however, was paradoxical, reflecting, I believe, a disconnect between the company's operational success and its stock performance. The gap is not driven by fundamental business weakness but rather by a temporary decline in investor risk appetite, leading to skepticism toward many AI industry products, including copper cables. These findings help identify Credo’s technological advantage and how support from Nvidia ( NVDA ) and Broadcom ( AVGO ) protects the company’s business model from the expansion of optical solutions. Based on my assessment of forward multiples, I estimate the stock is trading at a 42% discount. Previous Theses The thesis I presented in my previous article on CRDO was that the continued aggressive growth in hyperscalers’ CapEx serves as a budget for new orders of semiconductor products (particularly those responsible for enabling high-speed data transmission). Credo's technology solves the problem of bandwidth constraints in data centers by increasing data transfer speeds, thereby making computing processes more energy-efficient. This technological advantage is precisely what enables CRDO to become a key player in the development of the AI industry's cluster infrastructure, supplying cables to Amazon ( AMZN ) and Microsoft ( MSFT ). Until cheaper and higher-quality alternatives appear on the marke...

AEKACHAI LUNGMIN/iStock via Getty Images By Patrick O'Connell, CFA & Marie Clara Buellingen Blended finance has the potential to transform overlooked markets into investable opportunities. The United Nations (UN) warns of a roughly US$4 trillion annual shortfall in financing for its sustainable development goals—a gap too large for the public sector to fill alone. Blended finance, which combines public, philanthropic and private capital, can help bridge this divide and unlock progress on global priorities such as poverty reduction, climate action and access to clean energy. A decade after the UN adopted its 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development , progress toward many of its goals remains stalled. While some elements of the plan, such as rural electrification, have advanced, insufficient funding has impeded others. Nearly 3.5 billion people live in countries where governments spend more on interest payments than on healthcare or education—leaving little capacity to invest in sustainable development. At the same time, according to the IMF, global environmental, social and governance (ESG) funds have largely avoided emerging markets. Even though these economies drove the bulk of global GDP growth over the past 10 years, they were allocated only about 6% of global ESG portfolios ( Display ).

A timeshare can provide a way to take an annual vacation at a specific property without the financial commitment of full ownership. However, timeshare exit fraud is a serious problem that can lead to significant financial losses, particularly among older adults who are often the targets. Under a timeshare arrangement, multiple people share ownership of a vacation property, with each owner typically allowed to use the property during a certain period every year. Timeshares involve an upfront buy-in and annual maintenance and other fees, which can be costly. As an owner, you can sell your timeshare or rent it out to others. This can be expensive and complicated, though, and the resale market for timeshares is often limited. Scammers frequently take advantage of this difficulty, specifically targeting motivated timeshare sellers and renters. U.S. victims have lost hundreds of millions of dollars to timeshare fraud in recent years, often from funds they've withdrawn from retirement and other investment accounts. Continue reading

Poland Rejects 'Unofficial' US Request To Redeploy Patriot Batteries To Mideast Via The Cradle Poland has rejected an "unofficial" US request to deploy one of its Patriot air defense systems to West Asia, Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz announced on Tuesday, following reports by Polish daily Rzeczpospolita that Washington had informally approached Warsaw amid rising regional tensions. " Our Patriot batteries and their armaments are used to protect Polish airspace and NATO's eastern flank . Nothing is changing in this regard and we are not planning to move them anywhere! " Kosiniak-Kamysz stated. Still frame via the Ministry of Defense of Poland He added, "Our allies are well aware of and understand how important our tasks are here. Poland's security is an absolute priority ." Rzeczpospolita reported that the US approach was informal and did not involve a formal request, adding that Washington sought to temporarily borrow one of Poland's two Patriot batteries as part of efforts to defend US-linked assets across West Asia from Iranian strikes. Polish officials have repeatedly argued that such a move would significantly weaken national defenses, effectively slashing their air defense capabilities in half. "Polish patriots defend the Polish sky," officials have previously said, underscoring longstanding resistance to redeployment. A senior NATO defense official, speaking anonymously, said Poland was not singled out. "This was a question that was sent to all allies," they said, adding there was "no special pressure on Poland." The US is reportedly seeking additional air defense systems both for Ukraine and West Asia as Iran’s missile attacks on US-like positions leave their defenses stretched thin. Patriot systems are already deployed across Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, and other areas, while the US and its allies have expended large numbers of interceptors during the conflict. One report noted that over 1,200 Patriot missiles were used in just over two weeks...

格隆汇4月1日｜据英国《每日电讯报》，美国总统特朗普称，在北约未加入其对伊朗的战争后，他正认真考虑让美国退出北约。特朗普将北约称为“纸老虎”，并表示美国退出该联盟已“无需再考虑”了。这是迄今为止最强烈的信号，表明在盟友拒绝响应特朗普要求派遣军舰重启霍尔木兹海峡之后，白宫已不再将欧洲视为可靠的防务伙伴。 当被问及是否会在冲突结束后重新考虑美国在该联盟中的成员身份时，特朗普回答说：“我会说这已经无需再考虑了。我从未被北约说服过。我一直知道他们是纸老虎，顺便说一句，普京也知道这一点。”特朗普补充说：“我们一直是自动参与的，包括乌克兰。乌克兰不是我们的问题。这是一场测试，我们在那里支持他们，但他们没有支持我们。”

财联社4月1日讯（编辑 马兰） 美国总统特朗普本周连续声明，愿意与伊朗结束冲突，即使在伊朗控制霍尔木兹海峡的条件下。这一示弱态度缓解了市场紧张情绪，美股周二集体走高，亚洲市场周三也大幅跟涨。 然而，分析师对特朗普的TACO交易（即特朗普会因为市场抛售压力而转变政策态度）半信半疑，一方面是因为对特朗普历史信誉值的考量，另一方面在于若特朗普真的做出此类退让，其将造成美国利益严重受损。 还有一些密切关注市场的人士指出，如果特朗普真的放弃霍尔木兹海峡，能源价格可能会飙升得更高，因为这意味着伊朗将完全控制全球五分之一的石油流动，这将让全球能源市场更加动荡不安。 Signum Global Advisors周二上午在一份报告中表示，特朗普极不可能在没有尝试重新开放海峡之前就结束这场战争，因为此举将产生三个恶劣结果：损害美国经济，对美国的波斯湾盟友产生不利影响，以及伊朗控制海峡将使美国在全球处于相对劣势。 两难 Wolfe Research分析师Tobin Marcus表示，过去两周中，特朗普似乎已经准备好结束这场冲突，但他也淡化了仓促撤军的可能性。他还补充道，真正的TACO需要付出代价，特朗普看起来并未准备好支付这笔代价。 Bianco Research总裁Jim Bianco进一步指出，这场冲突的经济影响无法估量。如果特朗普真的彻底放弃霍尔木兹海峡，那么相当于让伊朗成为超级大国，伊朗未来也会用石油来打压西方。 贝莱德首席执行官拉里·芬克上周也担忧表示，如果伊朗在美伊冲突结束后，仍然对霍尔木兹海峡构成威胁，那么国际油价可能会达到每桶150美元，并导致全球经济衰退。 这种结果并不是华尔街所乐见的，而特朗普的反复无常进一步加剧了金融界的混乱。本周一，特朗普称，如果霍尔木兹海峡不立即开放通商，美国将进行报复。但在24小时后，特朗普又宣称，海峡问题与他无关，其他利益相关国家应该自行解决海峡问题。 而特朗普的矛盾也折射出美国当前的两难：如果美军撤离，伊朗继续控制霍尔木兹海峡，美国将不得不承受严重的经济损失；但另一方面，美国政府现在又迫切希望结束在中东的军事行动，尤其是当中期选举越来越近。

3月31日，美股上市的霸王茶姬披露2025年全年及第四季度财报，一份“增收不增利”的成绩单，不仅揭开了自身的增长困境，更折射出整个高端新茶饮行业的存量焦虑。 数据显示，霸王茶姬2025年实现净收入129.1亿元，同比仅增长4.05%；经调整后净利润19.1亿元，同比大幅下滑24%，归母净利润更是同比暴跌53.45%，创下上市以来最大跌幅。 全球门店数突破7453家，全年GMV达315.8亿元，看似规模仍在扩张，实则单店效益持续承压，国内市场增长失速，仅海外业务保持高速增长。 从上市初期的“高端新茶饮黑马”到如今的“增长瓶颈凸显”，霸王茶姬的业绩波动，背后是新茶饮行业从高速扩张向存量博弈转型的必然， 也引发市场追问：曾经风光无限的高端新茶饮，是否已经走到了尽头？ 01 从高增长滑向瓶颈期 霸王茶姬2025年财报最直观的特征是“规模扩张、盈利收缩”，各项核心经营数据分化明显。 财报显示，霸王茶姬 2025 年全年总GMV达315.8亿元，同比增长7.2%，较 2023年GMV734.3%、2024年GMV172.9%的高增速大幅回落，也显著低于中国连锁经营协会、灼识咨询等机构测算的 2025 年新茶饮行业12.4%—21%的整体增速均值。 2025年，霸王茶姬净收入129.1亿元，同比增长4.05%，增速近乎腰斩；盈利端下滑更为刺眼：经调整后净利润19.1亿元，同比减少24%；归母净利润11.71亿元，同比下滑53.45%；营业利润率仅为10.4%，较2024年的23.3%暴跌12.9个百分点。 值得注意的是，尽管全年连续12个季度盈利，但第四季度单季营业利润转为亏损3550万元，仅靠GAAP口径实现净利润3390万元，盈利能力脆弱性凸显。 门店扩张与单店效益的矛盾，是制约业绩增长的核心症结。 截至2025年12月31日，全球门店数达7453家，同比增长15.7%，但门店质量显著下滑。国内门店超7000家，核心商圈、下沉市场全面覆盖，部分区域过度加密，新开门店分流老店客流，单店效益持续走低。 海外业务是财报唯一亮点和增长引擎。 财报显示，2025年第四季度海外GMV达3.7亿元，同比大增84.6%，环比增长23.9%，连续三个季度同比增长超75%；全年海外门店净增83家，总数达345家，覆盖7个国家，新增4个新市场，海外足月门店单店月均GMV显著优于国内。 资本市场反应...

世人常言，判断一个男人真心与否，往往不是看他说了什么，而是看他做了什么。 名创优品创始人叶国富一直说自己偶像就是于东来，自称“我是他的粉丝”，常年在外为东来哥摇旗呐喊，狂热十足。于东来的企业家粉丝或许数以万计，但真正像叶总这样可以一掷千金的男人，可能也不多。 叶国富后来回忆说，他在实地调研过一家胖改后的永辉超市就萌发了收购的念头，“我在想这个店如果是我的有多好。”从考察到宣布入局，他只用了三个月时间，誓要将永辉超市改造成下一个胖东来。 即便后来全世界都不太理解，叶国富依然决然地捍卫永辉胖改价值，“大家都看不懂就对了，如果都看得懂我就没有机会了。” 男人们的执念一般分为两种。一种是显性的，恨不得天天挂在嘴上，显摆得全天下都知道。那是对妻子的爱，只是朱砂痣往往成了蚊子血。另一种是隐性的，很少直接提起，但心里面全是对方的模样。那是情人，爱而不得于是永远白月光。 现在，叶国富先生已经很少再公开提及永辉超市了。去年永辉超市加速调改，却也加速亏损——全年营收同比下降超 20%，净亏扩大超 74%，总资产缩水近三成。 巨亏之下，连带着身为第一大股东的名创优品也被拖累。去年名创优品营收首次突破 200 亿元大关，同比增长 26.2%，但期内利润却同比下滑 54.1%，仅为 12.1 亿元。利润下滑的最大诱因是投资永辉超市亏损 8.13 亿元。 名创优品 2025 年第四季度及全年财报 昨晚的名创优品 2025 年第四季度及全年财报电话会上，分析师们只是象征性地提了一句“叶总对永辉业务有什么新的思考和规划”，叶总就立马撇清关系，否认三连。 “我特别想跟各位 MINISO 的股东说明，我本人最关注的核心业务始终是 MINISO……请大家放心，我 90% 以上的精力都在 MINISO，MINISO 永远是我最优先级最高的工作，绝对不会因为投资而分散精力。” 你看，叶总连对永辉的思考都不愿意再提了。他在回答中说，永辉已经完成了管理团队的调整，新的管理团队足以独立完成日常经营与战略落地。言外之意，永辉的问题别问我，问新管理层去。 但见新人笑，那闻旧人哭。 仅仅一年之前，叶国富还坚决捍卫永辉价值，在名创优品的财报电话会上大谈永辉整改方向。他当时宣称，未来零售行业就是品质零售和兴趣零售两大趋势，名创代表兴趣，而永辉则代表品质，两家企业将在自有品牌、供应链升级以及产品力提升等方面深度协同。 这些协...

Global sugar prices are rebounding after a prolonged slump, as the war in Iran squeezes supplies from a major refining hub, boosting sales from producers outside the Middle East. Benchmark white sugar futures in London had been trading low near pandemic levels as part of a prolonged slump from ample supply and muted demand. But since the war began, prices have surged to a six-month high, as the hostilities all but halt maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for raw sugar heading into local refineries and white sugar to head abroad. Some refineries in the Middle East are willing to shoulder the steeper costs that come with relying on ports such as Fujairah, Khorfakkan and Sohar for feedstock. The most-active contract capped an 11% monthly gain, the highest since 2023. Roughly 6% of the world’s sugar trade has been affected, according to Claudiu Covrig of Covrig Analytics. Imports are likely to remain subdued through at least June, with further downside risk if disruptions extend into the third quarter, said Ankit Jagta, a Dubai-based sugar trader. As traders seek alternative sources of refined sugar, shipments from India and Thailand are accelerating. Flows from locations outside the Middle East grew sharply last month, with Thai exports to major consumer Sudan reaching about 353,650 tons as of March 25, up from 45,000 tons in February, according to shipping data compiled by Covrig Analytics. Indian mills received overseas orders for as much as 250,000 tons of white sugar since the start of the war, according to Rahil Shaikh, managing director of Meir Commodities India Pvt. That’s a significant share of the 650,000 tons contracted since the middle of November, according to a survey of five analysts and traders. The Indian government approved 2 million tons of overseas sales for the year ending September, but exports from the second-largest producer were lagging due to low prices . A weaker rupee is now encouraging mills to export more, with the re...
