"Star Trek" actor William Shatner used Monday's total solar eclipse to promote climate change activism, asking "what's the point" of concerning ourselves with space when human life is being threatened.
Months of planning have gone into the handful of minutes it will take for the moon to pass in front of the sun on Monday. Dozens of towns and cities in the solar eclipse’s path of totality have arranged packed schedules of celebratory events and viewing sites, preparing to welcome legions of enthusiastic visitors like Michael Howard. The 62-year-old is flying from Baltimore to San Antonio, Texas, and then driving about 65 miles northwest to Kerrville — where he’s all but certain to hit eclipse...
Boston appointed its first climate chief officer Wednesday morning.
Peter Jackson has found his niche in life, and it is advancing technology to restore Beatles stuff. He pioneered the tech for the 2021 docuseries Get Back, which restored cut footage from the filming of Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s 1970 Let It Be documentary. Then he used it to restore an old John Lennon demo to make the final Beatles song “Now And Then” (plus a music video). And now, in a full circle moment, he’s using it to restore the actual Let It Be doc, which will be released on Disney+ on May...
The least successful House speaker in history—the only one to be ousted—is taking time out of his revenge agenda to take a stab at rewriting history to somehow make himself the hero.

Jon M. Chu’s two-part Wicked film adaptation wasn’t exactly lacking for star power in the first place, what with Cynthia Erivo and Ariane Grande in its biggest roles, and back-up coming from the likes of Michelle Yeoh, Bridgerton’s Jonathan Bailey, and Jeff Goldblum. (The latter as the not-as-wonderful-as-advertised Wizard Of Oz.) Still, the film’s producers at Universal clearly felt that the musical adaptation—the first part of which arrives in theaters this November—could use just a pinch more...
Biden’s charismatic former boss and rival appeared in a show of unity alongside Bill Clinton, who despite a problematic legacy still has a campaign role to play tooFor once, showbusiness royalty – Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, Lea Michele and Mindy Kaling – was not the main attraction. Instead it was a trio of US presidents that enticed people to pay up to half a million dollars for New York’s hottest ticket.Last month Joe Biden was joined onstage by Bill Clinton and Barack...
Mark Twain said, “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” This Feel-Good Friday is a celebration of a man who may have wondered about the day he was born, but when he discovered his 'why,' he took it, ran with it, and has never looked back.
