The first direct commercial flight between the United States and Venezuela departed a bit early on Thursday on its way to the capital of the South American country, seven years after the US Homeland Security Department ordered an indefinite suspension, citing security concerns. The resumption of a commercial flight between the two countries comes months after the US capture of then-president Nicolas Maduro in a stunning night-time raid on his residence in Caracas in early January. It also comes...

Bullish sentiment among individual investors declined, while bearish views increased and neutral sentiment rose, pointing to a more mixed overall market outlook, according to the latest survey from the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII). The American Association of Individual Investors said in its survey that the bullish camp fell to 38.1% for the week ended April 29, down from 46.0% in the prior week. Meanwhile, bearish sentiment rose to 39.7% from 34.4% the week before. Equities moved through a mixed and often volatile stretch, initially coming under pressure as geopolitical tensions around the Strait of Hormuz intensified and oil prices surged, even as analysts pointed to underlying resilience supported by earnings optimism and expectations of further upside. Markets then found some footing, with stocks hitting record highs amid ongoing ceasefire negotiations and strong early earnings performance, particularly in technology. As the period progressed, sentiment turned more cautious, with Wall Street trading mixed ahead of a closely watched Federal Reserve decision and a wave of Big Tech earnings, while oil price spikes and shifting expectations around interest rates kept volatility elevated. Stocks drifted lower following the Fed outcome, as Treasury yields climbed to multi-month highs and markets recalibrated the outlook for monetary policy, even as economic data and global indicators painted a mixed picture. Global equities also remained uneven, with Asian markets retreating on hawkish Fed cues and energy volatility, while European markets were mixed amid rising yields and upcoming central bank decisions. In the U.S., stocks traded mixed to slightly higher as investors digested a fresh batch of economic data and earnings reports, with a weaker-than-expected GDP reading, firm labor cost data, and moves in Treasury yields shaping sentiment alongside ongoing developments in rate expectations and policy outlook. According to AAII, neutral sentiment,...

Hitman developer IO Interactive’s pluralistic take on the British secret agent – his first video-game outing in almost 15 years – promises a Bond for all eras. Here’s what you need to know If you want to tell the tale of a young James Bond, you first need to pick which James Bond he’s going to grow into. This was the task handed to Hitman developer IO Interactive, the studio taking digital custody of the spy in 007 First Light, Bond’s first video game in almost 15 years. So what’s it to be? Will their agent take baby steps towards Sean Connery’s gruff masculinity, or is he practising Roger Moore’s arched eyebrow in the bathroom mirror? That’s if he’s a “movie” Bond at all. For a generation of gamers, the character exists most vividly as a hand at the bottom of the screen in GoldenEye 007. As it turns out, 007 First Light’s Bond, depicted by Patrick Gibson (cornering a specific market, having played the serial killer-to-be in the Dexter origins show) is an amalgam: the facial scar is an Ian Fleming detail, but the sweet-talking charm is straight from the Pierce Brosnan playbook, and the second you barge a goon into a bookcase you know someone’s been studying Casino Royale on a loop. Trying to devise a Bond for all fandoms could risk satisfying none, but in the demo we played, the performance works. Crucially, Gibson brings an outsider’s unease that’s all his own, anchored by the arrogance that’ll one day be weaponised by MI6. Continue reading...

United to prioritise midfield but also looking at left flank Mainoo gets deal to 2031 after being restored by Carrick West Ham’s El Hadji Malick Diouf has emerged as a target for Manchester United as they weigh up a summer move for a left-back.

Despite only having one face, I made testing work. I'm currently wearing a pair of smart glasses called the Even Realities G2. Another two pairs, from Rokid, sit on my desk. A few feet away, I've got the Meta Ray-Ban Display charging alongside their Neural Wristband. In my closet are six pairs of $50 smart sunnies that an overzealous Walmart rep sent me. Those sit next to some Xreal, RayNeo, and Lucyd glasses, plus an old pair of Razer Anzu. Later, I'm calling my optician because I'm hoping to test a pair of the new Ray-Ban Meta Optics , which can supposedly handle my challenging prescription. I'm drowning in smart eyewear - and even more is on the horizon. Right now, it's difficult to tell … Read the full story at The Verge.

Political Violence And The Willful Self-Deception Of The Left Authored by John R. Lott Jr. via RealClearPolitics , Violence motivated by political differences has emerged as a defining, if alarming, feature of 21st -century American civil life. Neither side in our nation’s increasingly dangerous ideological divide has a monopoly. But one side, the Democratic Party and its allies, refuses to acknowledge the increase in mayhem from the left. Would-be Trump assassin Cole Tomas Allen This is true even in the face of the campus assassination of beloved conservative activist Charlie Kirk – or the very public attack against a televised banquet featuring the president of the United States in a ballroom room full of politicians and journalists. On Sunday, well after authorities released Cole Tomas Allen’s anti-Trump administration screed, former President Barack Obama posted on X that the attacker’s motive remained unclear. Actually, Allen’s writings made his radical leftist views perfectly clear, along with his rage against conservatives and President Trump himself. This brought to mind ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s stubborn insistence that Tyler Robinson, the man arrested for shooting Charlie Kirk was part of “ the MAGA gang .” He wasn’t, of course. His own mother told investigators that her son, who was in a relationship with a gay man transitioning to female, had “become more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented.” But willful self-deception has become a default position for liberals, who have convinced themselves for years that political violence is the province of the far right. It might still be, as some claim that might be the case of one Minnesota’s couple murder and another wounded in their homes, though the murderer had hundreds of “No Kings” flyers and was appointed to advisory boards by two different Democrat governors . But the arson and violence that accompanied many of the George Floyd riots; the Lafayette Square riot near the White House, where more than 15...
