Freshly painted white and fitted with new mahogany shutters, this new old house is nearly finished. And then came the stunning phone call, freezing Mr. Goetz and Mr. Malin in the back of that cab. Would it “look like a fake old house?” Mr. Malin asked. “Do I care whether a two-by-four is hundreds of years old, or 90 days old?” Mr. Goetz asked. Construction can’t be finished fast enough for Mr. Goetz and Mr. Malin.

Voting in Katmai National Park's famed Fat Bear Week was underway Wednesday after a bear killed one of this year's competitors and delayed the bracket reveal by a day. Voting takes place over the course of seven days, culminating in Fat Bear Tuesday, when one bear is crowned the fattest of the season. The winner will then try to beat Bear #128, also known as Grazer, a mother bear who holds last year's Fat Bear title. The injured cub later died and the surviving cub competed in Fat Bear Junior 2024, according to the park service. In another round one face-off, Bear #903, a smaller male and another Fat Bear Week newbie, will meet Bear #909, the mother of the junior contest's winner.

☆ Everyone wants to know what AI is worth. One investor looked to the past for the $20 trillion answer.
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-03 | by ( Emma Cosgrove | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

Miller's team compared AI's growth with past tech waves, finding consistent growth rates. In fact, the generative-AI wave looks a lot more like past tech waves than its revolutionary capabilities would suggest. That "rule of three" theory puts the value of the AI wave at about $20 trillion. Miller likened the AI wave to the mobile wave in about 2009, when there were few applications for the iPhone. "So the question is if compute is the primary underlying driver of economic activity, economic growth, economic opportunity, then there's an argument that it's actually bigger."

The longtime elected coroner in Hinds County, Mississippi, who faced withering criticism last year for burying men in pauper's graves without notifying their families, is stepping down early. Sharon Grisham-Stewart, a Democrat, announced Monday that she would retire Dec. 31, three years before the end of her current term. The mother of one of those men, Jonathan Hankins, confronted Grisham-Stewart in February at the county's pauper's field. And the Justice Department stepped in, saying it would help authorities in Hinds County and Jackson improve their death notification procedures. Grisham-Stewart was first elected as Hinds County coroner in 1999 and last won re-election in 2023.

Members of the California Legislative Black Caucus heralded his signature on four bills, including an apology for the state’s role in promoting slavery. In his remarks, Newsom said the bill could not function without the accompanying Freedmen Affairs Agency, which would have been established by another one of Bradford’s bills. The centerpiece of Bradford’s reparations package was the Freedmen Affairs Agency, which would have overseen state reparations initiatives. By the final hours of the legislative session, dozens of protesters had gathered in the lobby of the Capitol to support Bradford’s bills.

CNN —Harley Quinn and the Penguin are no match for the ridiculous cuteness of one teeny tiny micro chihuahua named Pilaf. After Farrell said he wanted to “take a selfie with it,” the “G.I. Jane” star talked about how Pilaf recently had her very own cover shoot for Dogue (yes, that’s Vogue for dogs, folks) and said, “I knew that she had moved into a whole new category when my publicist got a call just for Pilaf.”Moore then brought the dog – full name Pilaf the Little Mouse – out on stage, where she immediately went up to host Norton for petting. Soon, Moore handed Pilaf off to Gaga, who observed that “she’s so little… and weird!” (but clearly meant it affectionately). After Moore talked about how the dog didn’t have a full set of teeth and had to lose some – “hence why the tongue does not stay in” – Gaga stated simply, “She’s perfect.”Truer words were never spoken.

Demi Moore gives the wildest performance of her career in French filmmaker Coralie Fargeat's provocative new movie "The Substance." "The Substance" centers on Elisabeth Sparkle (Moore), a former A-lister whose career is on the decline. They can't survive separately because with Elisabeth dead, there's no more stabilizer fluid, and without stabilizer fluid, Sue can't continue to exist. So Sue's body (while she's en route to the big New Year's Eve performance) starts deteriorating: her teeth begin coming out, and a nail pops off.
