Jaques has spoken in the media about how his intentions for this film were to avoid the downbeat clichés of depicting cancer sufferers on screen and instead make something that’s more joyful. The problem is that this mode of ​“Always look on the bright side of life” sugar-frosting is the cliché, and so what we have here comes across like a warmed-over feature episode of TV’s…

US prices rose 3.4% in the year to July, slightly lower than the 3.5% in the year to June, new figures show. Month to month, inflation rose 0.1%, mainly due to an increase in housing costs, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said. Even small moves in rent can lift the overall headline figure as it makes up a large share of household spending. Food prices rose only slightly in July and at a slower rate than in June, while energy prices fell, offering some relief for consumers. Prices excluding food and energy rose 0.2% after staying flat in June, with…

If you’ve scanned headlines over the last year, you’ve likely seen the prevailing market narrative: Bitcoin miners are abandoning their operations and pivoting to AI data centers, signaling a retreat from proof-of-work.
