Marty Supreme review – Timothée Chalamet is captivating in this madcap, quickfire ping-pong comedy Timothée Chalamet delivers a magnetic performance in Marty Supreme, starring alongside an “impeccable” Gwyneth Paltrow in a film that charts a young man’s chaotic rise from petty scams to unlikely table-tennis stardom. The result is a “madcap”, stylishly frenetic comedy that feels as fresh as it is unpredictable. Away from the screen, Chalamet is one of Hollywood’s most knowingly performative figures – especially when promoting his work. For Marty Supreme, set in 1952 and centring on an ambitious ping-pong hopeful, the actor has embraced a parade…

Diddy accuses Netflix of releasing ‘shameful and illegal’ 50 Cent–produced documentary Lawyers for Sean “Diddy” Combs sharply criticised a new Netflix documentary produced by rapper 50 Cent, calling it “a shameful hit piece” built on “stolen footage”. The four-part series, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, debuted on Tuesday and is marketed as a “staggering examination” of the hip-hop mogul, who was convicted earlier this year on charges related to prostitution. Among the material featured is what Netflix describes as “explosive” footage taken in the days leading up to Combs’ arrest—including a phone call with his attorneys. Director Alexandria Stapleton insists the…

US Halts All Asylum Decisions After National Guard Killing Triggers Migrant Crackdown The United States has paused all asylum decisions after the fatal shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, an incident that has prompted President Donald Trump to intensify his hardline stance on immigration. One of the soldiers died from her injuries, sparking renewed political tensions over border policy, national security and the legacy of the Afghanistan conflict. The attack, which occurred just blocks from the White House on Wednesday, involved Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national who had resettled in the US following the 2021 military withdrawal…

I Ran a Local AI Model on the New MacBook Pro M5 — Here’s My Experience Reviewing the new 14-inch MacBook Pro with Apple’s M5 chip is unusually difficult — not because the machine lacks improvements, but because Apple’s M-series laptops have already set such a high bar that incremental gains now feel harder to measure. Each generation pushes performance to extremes, and expectations for the M5 were correspondingly sky-high. Familiar design, brighter display Visually, this MacBook Pro looks unchanged from the previous generation: the same clean lines, matte finish and robust metal chassis. But the display has received a…

Designer Turns Nike Air Max Into a Fully Playable Super Nintendo Console A Nike Air Max sneaker that doubles as a working Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) sounds like the stuff of retro-gaming fantasy — but one designer has turned it into reality. To mark the 35th anniversary of the SNES’s launch in Japan, Singaporean designer Gustavo Bonzanini has engineered a fully functional SNES inside a customised pair of Nike Air Max 90s. Styled in the console’s classic grey-and-purple colour palette, the shoes blend ’90s nostalgia with modern ingenuity, transforming a familiar silhouette into a one-of-a-kind gaming device. A tribute…

The Memory Gap: How Paris Commemorates Terrorist Attacks from 1974 to 2015 Since 1974, nearly 150 terrorist attacks have occurred in or originated from Paris, a city forever marked by violence and resilience. Among the most prominent are the bombings of the Copernic Street Synagogue in 1980, the Jo Goldenberg restaurant in 1982, and the bombings of the RER B commuter trains in 1995 and 1996. Yet despite the staggering number of incidents, only a small fraction of these attacks are formally commemorated in Paris. Why, in a city so deeply affected by terrorism, do so many of these events…

Over 80% of the World’s Population Now Lives in Urban Areas, Says UN Report More than 80% of the global population now resides in urban areas, according to a recent United Nations report, with this figure expected to rise further in the coming decades. This trend underscores the growing need for cities to be developed in ways that promote both human health and environmental sustainability. The latest edition of the World Urbanisation Prospects report, published in 2018, initially suggested that 55% of the world’s population lived in urban areas. However, that estimate was based on the widely varying definitions of…

Why Bird Flu’s Heat Resistance Raises Alarms Among Scientists Scientists are increasingly concerned about the potential for bird flu to spread to humans, not just because of its high fatality rates, but because of its surprising ability to survive under conditions that would normally inhibit other viruses. A new study led by the University of Cambridge and the University of Glasgow has revealed that avian influenza viruses, which commonly affect birds, are remarkably resilient to heat — including fever-level temperatures that typically help slow the spread of human flu. The Heat Tolerance of Bird Flu Viruses Fever is one of…

Ask an average American to name five key events in their nation’s history, and it’s likely the Pilgrims will come up. A study conducted a few years ago revealed that many Americans rank the Pilgrims among the top moments in U.S. history, right alongside the Revolutionary War, the Declaration of Independence, and the Civil War. In fact, the Pilgrims came in at number seven, a surprising spot considering their relatively late arrival. Abram Van Engen, a co-author of the study and an English professor at Washington University in St. Louis, finds this curious. He notes that the Pilgrims, though famous,…
