Image
 Beaten Zverev Says Melbourne Champion Sinner 'Like Prime Novak Jannik Sinner Compared to Prime Djokovic After Dominating Alexander Zverev in Australian Open Final Alexander Zverev heaped praise on Jannik Sinner after suffering a decisive defeat in the Australian Open final on Sunday. The German remarked that Sinner is playing at a level comparable to Novak Djokovic at his peak, even suggesting the Italian is on "a different universe" in the current tennis landscape. Top-ranked Sinner, just 23 years old, secured his third Grand Slam title with a commanding 6-3, 7-6 (7/4), 6-3 win over second-seeded Zverev. Having already claimed the US Open title, Sinner’s dominance in Melbourne solidifies his position as one of the most formidable players on the tour. Zverev admitted he struggled against Sinner's relentless game, saying, "He's very, very similar to Novak when he was at his best. They rarely make mistakes and force you to overhit just to stay in the rally....

Trump orders end of government DEI programs, LGBT protections

Image
Trump orders end of government DEI programs, LGBT protections Donald Trump, the former U.S. President, has recently repealed numerous executive orders from his predecessor, Joe Biden, that supported LGBTQ+ equality. He also issued new orders mandating only two genders and ending federal diversity programs, a move that solidifies his break with what he refers to as “woke” culture. During his campaign, Trump criticized diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies in the federal government and corporate sectors, claiming they discriminated against white people, particularly white men. One of his new executive orders condemned the Biden administration for implementing what he described as "illegal and immoral discrimination programs" under the guise of DEI. These programs, he argued, were embedded in various aspects of the federal government, from military operations to airline safety. Trump also targeted gender diversity, particularly transgender people, focusing on transgend...

Trump announces a $500 billion AI infrastructure investment in the US On Tuesday, three major technology companies revealed plans to form a new entity named Stargate, aimed at expanding artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure in the United States. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, Masayoshi Son, CEO of SoftBank, and Larry Ellison, Chairman of Oracle, gathered at the White House alongside President Donald Trump to announce the initiative, which Trump described as the “largest AI infrastructure project in history.” The companies will initially invest $100 billion into the project, with the intention of potentially contributing up to $500 billion in the future. Trump also stated that the endeavor is expected to create 100,000 jobs across the U.S. Stargate’s mission is to construct both physical and virtual infrastructure necessary to power the next generation of AI. This includes the establishment of data centers nationwide. Ellison shared that the group’s first data center, covering 1 milli...

Musk's hand gesture during Trump inauguration festivities draws scrutiny

Musk's hand gesture during Trump inauguration festivities draws scrutiny WASHINGTON, Jan 20 (Reuters) - Billionaire Elon Musk’s hand gesture during his speech at the celebration of President Donald Trump’s inauguration sparked online comparisons to a Nazi salute. However, a leading antisemitism watchdog argued that it appeared to be a moment of enthusiasm rather than a salute with any sinister intent. Musk swiftly dismissed the criticism, calling it a “tired” attack. Appearing at the Capital One Arena in Washington, Musk received a warm reception, with the crowd cheering loudly as he pumped his arms and shouted, “Yesssss.” “This was no ordinary victory. This was a fork in the road of human civilization,” Musk said. “This one really mattered. Thank you for making it happen! Thank you.” Biting his lip, Musk thumped his right hand over his heart, fingers spread wide, before extending his right arm at an upward angle, palm facing down and fingers together. He repeated this gesture tow...

TikTok is back online but its ultimate fate in America still lies in Trump’s hands

Image
  TikTok is back online but its ultimate fate in America still lies in Trump’s hands TikTok restored access for American users on Sunday afternoon, following a dramatic 14-hour period when the app had temporarily gone offline. The social media platform thanked former President Donald Trump for playing a role in bringing it back, after he vowed to delay the enforcement of a law that would have required TikTok to sever ties with its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, or face a ban starting Sunday. Trump, in a Truth Social post on Sunday, said he would sign an executive order on Monday to delay the law’s restrictions, ensuring that a deal could be made to address national security concerns. He also assured that TikTok's technology partners—such as Apple, Google, and Oracle—would not face penalties for continuing to support the app until the order was signed. "We appreciate President Trump’s clarification and assurance, which allowed us to restore service to our American users,...

Image
 Will Cain Promoted to Weekday Afternoon Slot at Fox News, Replacing Neil Cavuto NEW YORK (AP) – Fox News Channel has promoted weekend host Will Cain to the weekday afternoon slot previously held by longtime personality Neil Cavuto, who left the network last month. Cain, who has been hosting the weekend edition of the “Fox & Friends” morning show, will now transition to a new weekday show. A lawyer by profession, Cain previously hosted a radio show and contributed to ESPN’s television programming before joining Fox in 2020. He also worked as an analyst at CNN and was a host at The Blaze. Weekday shows at Fox are highly coveted, and openings are rare. Cain’s new show will air at 4 p.m. Eastern, directly preceding the political talk show “The Five,” which is often Fox’s most-watched program. While Cavuto’s show had a business-oriented focus, thanks to his background, Cain’s approach will be different. Cain will continue to host his weekday podcast on news and sports, and Fox says...

David Lynch, American filmmaker, 1946-2025

Image
  David Lynch, American filmmaker, 1946-2025 David Lynch, the American filmmaker known for his unsettling depiction of the world and exploration of the fears and desires within his country’s subconscious, has passed away at the age of 78. His family announced his death on social media without specifying the cause, although Lynch had been diagnosed with emphysema in 2020 and had openly discussed being largely housebound in recent years. Lynch was part of a unique group of artists whose name is synonymous with not only a distinct style but a particular worldview. His films and projects — especially Eraserhead (1977), Blue Velvet (1986), Mulholland Drive (2001), and the TV series Twin Peaks (1990) — are rich with bizarre, disturbing, and often violent imagery, reflecting the hidden, darker side of daily life. A lover of both Bob’s Big Boy milkshakes and Francis Bacon, Lynch’s work encompassed the strange and unsettling, always lurking beneath the surface of ordinary existence. Bor...

Image
 Massive Wildfire in Los Angeles: 27,000 Acres Burned, $6 Billion Loss Expected A devastating wildfire has spread across Los Angeles in 2024, burning nearly 27,000 acres of land and causing widespread damage.

Firefighters are battling the flames day and night, but the situation remains dire as the fire continues to spread. This wildfire, one of the worst in recent years, highlights the increasing intensity of wildfires in California, driven in part by climate change. Experts warn that the situation could worsen in the coming days, and more resources ar...

Preview: Liverpool vs. Accrington Stanley - prediction, team news, lineups

Image
 Preview: Liverpool vs. Accrington Stanley - prediction, team news, lineups  For 2022 winners Liverpool, they will enter this campaign hoping for more FA Cup success than they have managed in previous years. That victory three seasons ago remains their only FA Cup crown in almost two decades, and they were dumped out in devastating circumstances last season, losing in extra time to rivals Manchester United in a 4-3 thriller at the quarter-final stage. It was Man United who last visited Anfield too, holding Arne Slot's men to a 2-2 draw in the Premier League last weekend, meaning the Reds were unable to stretch their current six-point lead at the top any further. Despite being eight-time winners of the FA Cup, the EFL Cup has been their competition in recent years, winning it in 2012, 2022 and 2024, but they suffered a minor setback in the semi-finals of that competition on Wednesday, losing the first leg 1-0 away to Tottenham Hotspur. That ended a 24-game unbeaten streak, and ...
