Born in 1993, Patrick is the oldest son of Arnold and Maria. And while having parents in the business is great and all, he’s also credited his brother-in-law Chris with helping him nab one plum part.”I remember when Chris said, ‘Hey you know there’s this young role, Donny Mitchell, you’ll be the youngest in the platoon,” Patrick told Jimmy Kimmel in 2022 of booking a gig in the Amazon Prime Video series The Terminal List. “‘But if you want to get this role, I need you to go and try to get into character and really get this. I need you…

My final dispatch from Locarno is probably the most varied of the quartet that I’ve filed. Fittingly, it’s composed of four films, each from a different section of the festival. Collectively, they’re also the most likely to travel outside of the festival to a screen near you. Most of all, they’re either about defiant people telling their own stories against their oppressors or are works that decry hate and bigotry. They characterize what Locarno Artistic Director Giona A Nazzaro said would be the aim of this festival: “To regain cinema as a freedom that can’t be predicted through algorithms or…

Americans have spent the last few years watching prices climb faster than paychecks. Grocery bills, rent, insurance, car payments — the sting is real, and it shows up every month in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the government’s official scorecard for inflation. When the CPI runs hot, it makes headlines. When it cools, politicians take a victory lap. They sometimes even warn about the dangers of deflation.

Of the alleged inventor of the curved-blade hockey stick, only this much is certain: There was no Stan Mikita’s Donuts in Aurora, Illinois. But getting at the truth behind the preferred mythological munchies of Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar in the 1992 classic “Wayne’s World” is far simpler than unpacking the tales of hockey’s greatest innovation. Still, if Mikita — the Blackhawks’ all-time leading scorer and the only player ever to win the Hart, Art Ross and Lady Byng trophies in the same year (he did it twice) — wasn’t the first player to bend a blade, he was instrumental…

Nearly six months after US President Donald Trump vowed a swift victory over Iran, the conflict appears to be at a standstill, with prospects of a military victory or negotiated settlement growing dimmer. To break the deadlock, Trump has vowed an “economic D-Day” under which any country that does business with Iran would face “tremendous” economic consequences. Iran, however, has long faced sanctions and has so far shown a willingness to endure pain and a capacity to adapt to immense economic and military pressure as the conflict drags on. The key question for the US then becomes, will further sanctions…

Macroeconomist and author Lyn Alden has said that while sentiment for Bitcoin has been low in recent months, there are “not a lot of downside catalysts” for the asset left.  Speaking in a Thursday interview with CNBC, Alden said that the “fast money” has been washed out and market observers are not expecting Bitcoin treasury Strategy to sell anymore.  Alden’s comments come after Bitcoin shot up this week. The leading cryptocurrency was recently trading for $72,660 — a more than 6% 24-hour rise — after reaching $72,890 earlier on Thursday.  “By almost every metric, Bitcoin is near the low end…
