It can be frus­trat­ing for Led Zep­pelin fans to hear the band reduced to pla­gia­rism law­suits or the quin­tes­sence of sex­u­al­ly-aggres­sive rock-star enti­tle­ment (though much of that is deserved). For one thing, Zeppelin’s occult song­writ­ing ten­den­cies, cour­tesy of both Page and Plant, play just as promi­nent a role as their blues-rock come-ons (as sev­er­al gen­er­a­tions of fan­ta­sy met­al bands can attest). For anoth­er, their stu­dio pro­duc­tions and live shows are renowned for pio­neer­ing mash-ups of mod­ern rock, folk, and clas­si­cal instru­men­ta­tion, cour­tesy of both Page and Jones. And final­ly, the band’s record­ing tech­niques were—for the time—demonstrations of tech­ni­cal wiz­ardry. Thus…

As tradition dictates, two hundred and fifty candles engulf Claire Fort’s (Rebecca Hall) birthday cake. With two and a half centuries behind her she belongs to the first generation granted immortality in an apparent utopia, provided they adhere to a relentless anti-ageing regimen and avoid any harm that might leave them beyond repair. Though her irksome friends retain their buoyant gratitude for perpetual existence, Claire’s mindset begins to shift as the prospect of eternity slowly drains her life of its lustre. So,…

When a state starts floating an exit tax, it is telling you something more important than any campaign slogan: the people running the place know their model is not working.  They may not say it that way. They will call it fairness, responsibility, or making the wealthy “pay what they owe.” But the meaning is the same.  If families, entrepreneurs, and investors are leaving, the state can either ask why its policies are pushing them out, or it can try to tax them for escaping. An exit tax chooses punishment over reform.  I understand why these proposals resonate with some…

A rebrand of the junction 32 retail park off the M62 has gone down poorly with some locals in Castleford.

When Rep. Matt Van Epps helped lead the American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026 this week, he framed the bill not as an abstract national security measure — but as a direct extension of what he sees happening in his own backyard. “Nashville is one of the nation’s leading Bitcoin hubs,” Van Epps said in a statement to Bitcoin Magazine, pointing to Bitcoin Park, the city’s growing digital asset community, and the annual Bitcoin conference, set to return to Nashville in 2027.  “Nashville is quickly emerging as one of the nation’s leading Bitcoin hubs, with a growing digital asset community,…
