Shelby Van Pelt’s best-selling book is adapted into an easily digestible, sweet-natured afternoon watch Every now and then, a strange forgotten chapter of life during Covid will interrupt my thoughts. Remember when we used to fake happy hour merriment on the Houseparty app? Or when Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor made an unwatchably awful film about stealing diamonds from Harrods during lockdown? Or how about when people developed an unhealthy obsession with a Netflix documentary about a man with an unhealthy obsession with an octopus? The unavoidability of My Octopus Teacher led to everything from a creepy spike in people googling “did octopus teacher sex with octopus” (time-saver: he didn’t) to an unforgivably undeserved Oscar win for best documentary ( Collective , you were robbed) and then, while not a direct on-record inspiration, it at least paved the way for the success of Shelby Van Pelt’s best-selling novel Remarkably Bright Creatures in 2022. The book, which hinges on the bond between an elderly cleaner and a grumpy octopus, gave those still yearning for more octopus teaching a gentle summer read with no weird questions needing to be asked and now, inevitably, the adaptation lands on Netflix to be filed in the growing “inspiring octopus movie” section.

The great Mexican director is in England to pick up a BFI fellowship – and buy a haunted house. He talks gods, ghosts, monsters and almost being destroyed by the Weinsteins When Guillermo del Toro goes to the cinema, he buys three seats. “I’m an expansive fellow,” he says, occupying one end of the sofa in the library of a London hotel. “Between the popcorn and my elbows and my girth, I need more than one seat. But I also like the feeling of being in company and yet alone. Everyone says how great the cinema is as a collective experience, and I agree. At the same time, I enjoy it the most when it’s not packed. I like being semi-alone.” Those vacant seats must come in handy, too, if there are any ghosts in the vicinity. Ghosts and Del Toro go way back. The multi-Oscar-winning director was 11 when he first sensed a spectral presence at his family home in Guadalajara, Mexico. He insists this was his late uncle, who, before his death, had promised the young horror buff that he would pop back and tip him off if there were anything on the other side. Del Toro later heard a persistent sighing in his dead uncle’s room – a detail that inspired Santi, the sighing ghost-boy in The Devil’s Backbone, his 2001 horror set during the Spanish civil war. Decades later, when Del Toro was in New Zealand scouting locations for The Hobbit (which he co-wrote), his hotel room was filled with the cacophonous uproar of a murder in full swing, audible in a kind of surround-sound. And though there was no ghost as such when he stayed in an early-19th-century hotel in Aberdeen while filming Frankenstein two years ago, he felt “an oppressive vibe” about which he duly live-tweeted to his two-million-plus followers. Currently, he is looking to buy a haunted house in the UK. Presumably via Frightmove. Continue reading...

Archives reveal how a format that even one winning manager wanted abolished four decades ago came to be As the playoffs begin for the 40th time, it is easy to forget there was once a world without them. But where did they come from? Whose idea were they? And how did they take root in English football? The EFL granted access to its archives containing the documents and meeting minutes charting how an idea, conceived to help lower-league clubs financially and add late-season spice, evolved into one of the most cherished fixtures in the English football calendar and gave birth the “richest game in football”, as the Championship final is known. It is hard to comprehend quite how broken English football was in the mid-1980s. In the 1988 book League Football and the Men Who Made it, Simon Inglis writes: “The year 1985 was the most devastating in the hundred years of the Football League.” Hooligans attracted headlines, fans were killed in riots and clashes with police drew the attention of the prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, who told football to get its house in order.

After Zelenskyy, Robert Brovdi is Moscow’s top assassination target owing to his long-range attacks deep within Russia Vladimir Putin has told Russians that victory against Ukraine is inevitable. But on Saturday no tanks or missiles will rumble over the cobbles of Moscow’s Red Square. For the first time in almost 20 years the annual celebration of the allies’ victory over Nazi Germany will take place without military hardware. The reason: the Kremlin is afraid of a Ukrainian attack. The man who has arguably done more to spook the Putin regime this weekend than anyone else is Robert Brovdi , the head of a Ukrainian military drone unit, Madyar’s Birds , named after his call sign. In recent months it has carried out a series of long-range strikes against targets deep within Russia, including ports, oil refineries and missile factories. Continue reading...

My prank demonstrated how our minds can adversely affect our health, and scientists are increasingly showing that negative thoughts can produce very real symptoms For his last birthday, I gave my husband a monthly beer box subscription. While he saw it as a generous and delicious present, it spawned a mischievous idea on my part. One evening, as I watched him drain the last bottle, I opened my email. “We’ve just had a message from the beer people,” I said. “They’re issuing a recall on the last batch.” “What’s the problem?” he answered. “Some sort of contamination issue,” I replied. My husband’s face fell. “Are you OK? You look a bit peaky,” I said. Helen Pilcher is a science writer and the author of This Book May Cause Side Effects Continue reading...

Nintendo Co. Switch 2 game consoles at a Bic Camera Inc. electronics store in Tokyo, Japan, on Thursday, June 5, 2025. Nintendo Co. fans from Tokyo to Manhattan stood in line for hours to be among the first to get a Switch 2, fueling one of the biggest global gadget debuts since the iPhone launches of yesteryear. Kiyoshi Ota | Bloomberg | Getty Images Nintendo will hike the retail price of the Switch 2 after forecasting a decline in sales for its flagship console as the memory chip crunch hits the Japanese gaming giant. The company said on Friday it expects to sell 16.5 million units of the Switch 2 in its fiscal year ended Mar. 31, 2027. That is a decline from the 19.86 million units sold in the fiscal year just ended. Meanwhile, the company's forecasts for the current year were far below analyst estimates. Nintendo said the price of the Switch 2 in the U.S. will rise by $50 from $449.99 to $499.99, from Sept. 1. In Japan, Nintendo will hike the price from 49,980 yen to 59,980 yen, effective May. 25. Nintendo also said prices for the Switch 2 will increase in Canada and Europe. Nintendo said the rise in console prices is "In light of changes in market conditions" and after the company considered "the global business outlook." Switch 2 consoles use memory chips that have seen unprecedented price rises driven by the global AI data center buildout. Nintendo has been forced to raise console prices following rival Sony, which announced price increases of up to $150 on its flagship PlayStation 5 in March. Nintendo shares have been under pressure since hitting a record high above 14,000 yen in August, falling nearly 50% since that peak as the memory crunch has impacted the company. On Friday, Nintendo said its financial forecast for the year ended March 2027 reflects an approximately 100 billion yen impact due to rising component prices, particularly for memory, and "tariff measures."

European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said that even euro-denominated stablecoins would create risks to financial stability and monetary-policy transmission, questioning the case for introducing such instruments. While they could lower financing costs in the euro area and boost the common currency’s global pull, there are “significant” trade-offs, Lagarde said Friday in a speech. “They outweigh the short-term gains in financing conditions and international reach that euro-denominated stablecoins might provide,” she said. “If we want to strengthen the international appeal of the euro, stablecoins are not an efficient way of doing so.” Stablecoins, which are mostly pegged to the US dollar, have surged in popularity over the past year as a way to move money across borders and bypass traditional payment systems. Their rise has prompted questions over whether Europe needs its own version of the instruments. Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel in February touted euro stablecoins. But an ECB working paper in March, which Lagarde referenced, warned that a widespread adoption would pose major risks to euro-area banks and the institution’s monetary sovereignty, particularly if linked to foreign currencies like the dollar. While banks and payment firms in the currency bloc have stepped up efforts toward rolling out stablecoins, some global regulators and supervisors also worry about potential threats to financial stability. Lagarde, who’s pushing to speed the introduction of a digital euro , said that Europe’s task isn’t simply to “replicate instruments developed elsewhere.” She also highlighted the ECB’s work on wholesale settlement options. “The best solution remains the same,” she said. “More integrated capital markets through the savings and investments union, and over time a safe asset base that matches the scale of our ambitions for the euro’s international role.” Dollar Dominance Crushes Lagarde’s European Crypto Ambitions Stablecoins May Pose Major Monetary-...

Presented by SAP The enterprise software industry has undergone a fundamental shift, and vendors are adapting their approaches to better protect the customers who rely on them. For years, every global platform vendor running multi-tenant cloud infrastructure has maintained documented rate limits, usage controls, and restrictions on the use of undocumented internal interfaces. CRM platforms impose daily API call limits per organization, enforce platform-layer limits, and maintain a strict separation between bulk data APIs and transactional REST surfaces. Productivity and collaboration suites throttle their graph APIs and redirect bulk workloads to purpose-built data access channels designed for that load. HR and workforce management platforms enforce concurrent request limits and per-session data retrieval caps. IT service management platforms enforce per-user rate limits and instance-level throttling. Hyperscalers publish per-service quotas, enforce them at the infrastructure layer, and explicitly prohibit applications from calling non-SDK or non-published interfaces. These are not controversial measures. They are baseline hygiene for enterprise-grade software platforms operating shared infrastructure at scale. For more than a decade these measures have been in place without serious objection. As SAP has taken responsibility for securing customers' mission-critical workloads in the cloud, a unified API policy with clarified usage controls is not a restriction but the expression of enterprise-grade stewardship. Some have read the policy as a new restriction. The policy does not introduce new restrictions. It names and unifies controls that have existed across individual SAP products for years. SAP is not introducing API governance as a novel concept. SAP SuccessFactors , SAP Ariba , SAP LeanIX , and several other SAP solutions have enforced documented rate limits and usage controls. SAP Notes and SAP’s documentation have also in the past defined API usage. What the r...
