Mazra’a ash-Sharqiya, West Bank CNN — Saif Musallet was just weeks away from celebrating his 21st birthday, and as he visited his family here, the Florida native’s thoughts began to turn toward marriage. “I think it’s time for me to get married,” Musallet told his father, Kamel, during a phone call last week. “Hopefully while I’m here, I’m able to find a future spouse to get engaged to.” That phone call would be Kamel’s last conversation with his son. Days later, Saif was beaten to death by Israeli settlers, according to his family and eyewitnesses. Musallet was one of two…
You might need to lie down for a bit after “Eddington.” Preferably in a dark room with no screens and no talking. “Eddington,” Ari Aster’s latest nightmare vision, is sure to divide (along which lines, I’m can’t fathom) but there is one thing I think everyone will be able to agree on: It is an experience that will leave you asking “WHAT?” The movie opens on the aggravated ramblings of an unhoused man and doesn’t get much more coherent from there.

Musk wrote in an X post on Monday that AI companions are now available in the Grok app for “Super Grok” subscribers who pay $30 per month. According to posts that Musk has shared, it seems that there are at least two available AI companions: Ani, an anime girl in a tight corset and short black dress with thigh-high fishnets, and Bad Rudy, a 3D fox creature. “This is pretty cool,” Musk wrote, then shared a photo of the blonde-pigtailed goth anime girl. Given that this paywalled…
London CNN — Donald Trump’s remarks on Ukraine on Monday were far from the biggest announcement the US president could have made. The good news for Kyiv is familiar. Trump has permitted NATO’s other members to buy American arms – a wide range of them, it seems. Included are the urgently needed Patriot interceptor missiles, and the batteries that fire them. Trump even suggested there were 17 hanging around to “spare” in one NATO nation. Whatever the precise reality of the arms package NATO eventually affords, it is exactly what Trump suggested at the weekend and exactly what Ukraine needs.…

There is a shift happening in luxury travel and it involves the younger generations for a change. Millennials are no longer buying the fanciest car or house, so they have more disposable income, allowing them to spend more on travel. These travelers have become high in demand and brands are starting to understand that they aren’t just looking for a place to stay, they’re looking for an experience. For this travel-savvy, style-conscious generation, cookie-cutter hotels and resorts are no longer enough. They want properties that feel like an extension of their lifestyle: boutique, design-forward, socially aware, and rich with local…
