Don’t worry, darling, Olivia Wilde is doing just fine. The Invite director addressed speculation about her health after a red carpet photo of her from the San Francisco International Film Festival went viral in April. For Wilde, it was “insane” to see social media users claim, as she put it, that she was “looking like an actual dead body.” “We did the [red carpet], and then I saw that picture and I was like, ‘Alright, but it probably won’t go very far. No one’s going to see this,'” Wilde said on the June 17 episode of Call Her Daddy. “And…

In recent years, no genre has been more prolific on television than the espionage thriller. In 2026 alone, audiences have been gifted season two of Prime’s “The Night Manager,” Peacock’s “Ponies,” and season three of Netflix’s “The Night Agent.” Each of these differs from the others in pace and tone, showcasing just how expansive this genre can be in the modern age. While there are plenty of spy shows to choose from, there are none currently airing like Paramount+’s “The Agency.” Based on the French series “Le Bureau des Légendes,” season one followed CIA agent Martian (Michael Fassbender), who risked…

The Trump Administration’s initial demand for renegotiating the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) includes an opening position that vehicles covered by the deal be composed of at least 50 percent American-made components, in terms of dollar value. It’s a revealing concession, because if the goal is truly to manufacture everything in America, the threshold would be 100 percent, not 50 percent. As it turns out, executive orders cannot unwind a global economy.  The White House’s concession should jump-start a more honest accounting of what their tariffs actually are: a consumption tax, paid by American households, spread across nearly every goods-producing sector…

Sustained inflation has compressed consumer spending across categories, resulting in softened sell-through rates and climbing aged inventory ratios. For retailers, brands, and manufacturers, the downstream effects are distinct, but the core problem is the same: the excess inventory is there, and the traditional path to moving it is falling short. Margin is getting compressed. Volume is too much for the disposition channel to bear. And channel and brand control is becoming harder to maintain. Why the default resale response falls short. The instinct in most organizations is to route excess inventory through whatever channel is already in place: a standing…

The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 has once again highlighted the importance of world-class all-rounders, with several of the game’s biggest names expected to influence matches with both bat and ball. Among them is Australia veteran Ellyse Perry, whose longevity and consistency have made her one of the most respected cricketers in the women’s game. Away from the on-field action, Perry recently took part in a fun blind-ranking challenge shared by Star Sports on X, where she had to rank five elite all-rounders without knowing which names would appear next. The result sparked plenty of discussion, with New Zealand…

The Federal Reserve held rates between 3.5% and 3.75% after Kevin Warsh’s first meeting in charge of the central bank.

The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady at its June meeting, but signaled a shift toward tighter policy under new Chair Kevin Warsh, marking a decisive turn away from expectations of near-term easing. The Federal Open Market Committee left the federal funds rate unchanged at a range of 3.50% to 3.75%, in line with market consensus. The policy statement and updated projections, however, pointed to renewed concern over inflation and a growing willingness among policymakers to raise rates later this year. Officials now expect the benchmark rate to reach 3.8% by the end of 2026, up from a 3.4% projection…
