A new actor, but the same white wig. We already knew that Liam Hemsworth was taking over as Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’s adaptation of The Witcher, replacing Henry Cavill. But now we have our first (official, anyway) look at the actor in the role, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly. And he looks like, well, Liam Hemsworth with Geralt’s iconic white hair. It’s not clear if the shift between actors will be referenced in the show itself, but this...

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
New York’s highest court on Tuesday ruled that employers’ health insurance plans have to cover medically necessary abortions, rejecting a lawsuit by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany claiming that the law’s exemption for religious employers was too narrow.
The lawsuits allege that Roundup ingredient glyphoste causes non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
After failing in several U.S. states this year, global chemical manufacturer Bayer said Tuesday that it plans to amplify efforts to create a legal shield against a proliferation of lawsuits alleging it failed to warn that its popular weedkiller could cause cancer.
Bayer, which disputes the cancer claims, has been hit with about 170,000 lawsuits involving its Roundup weedkiller and has set aside $16 billion to...

The Samsung Galaxy Ring might end up costing around $300 to $350. As far as smart rings go, that’s par for the course. It might also come with a monthly subscription of $10 or less. That, unfortunately, is also increasingly common for wearable tech.
None of this is official yet. The rumored prices were posted by leaker Yogesh Brar on X and have been making the rounds in the hours since. But say it were...

Nintendo’s Super Mario Maker series of games lets you create your own sidescrolling platformer levels using sprites and 3D objects from several entries in the franchise. It’s created a deeply devoted fan base, but it’s only ever let you make sidescrolling levels. Now, a pair of fans have changed that with Mario Builder 64, a new way to make and play your own Super Mario 64 levels — and do so on Nintendo 64...

It’s no secret that Amazon is busy overhauling Alexa with generative AI, but a new report from CNBC reveals that the company plans to make people pay extra for it. When Amazon launches its “more conversational” version of Alexa to the public later this year, the company will reportedly make users pay for a subscription separate from its $139 membership to Prime.

Ahead of the Indianapolis 500, Arrow McLaren driver Alexander Rossi sat down with SB Nation
Indianapolis.
In the sporting world there are a few single words that immediately spark the imagination, and conjure up images that are seared into the collective memory of generations. Indianapolis is certainly one, as that one word provokes images of bricks, milk, and speed.
The 108th Indianapolis 500 is this weekend, one of the marquee events on...

Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury lived up to the hype, and the boxing world calls for the two to meet again.
Boxing has an undisputed heavyweight king following Oleksandr Usyk’s win over Tyson Fury this past Saturday in Riyadh, with the Ukrainian further cementing his Hall of Fame case over 12 rounds of momentum swings and intrigue.
In a sport where the “mega-fights” so rarely live up to the hype, or even come close to doing so, Fury...
Two outings into his big league career, the Pirates' young ace is the talk of baseball.
When you come for the king, you best not miss.
That, at least, is what comes to my mind after watching Xiaomi's new ad for the company's upcoming Xiaomi 14 Civi smartphone.
The short ad, tagged #CinematicVision (Civi for short), is an obvious riff on Apple's tone-deaf 'Crush' ad. In the clip, a hydraulic press is shown destroying a bunch of instruments and other creative tools to create an iPad Pro, which hit the wrong note with creatives, prompting Apple to pull the ad and apologize for it....
