The Trump administration’s new National Security Strategy is a marked shift from not only earlier administrations but also Trump’s first term in office. While the new policy statement eschews the goal of global hegemony, it promotes culture war in Europe by promising support for anti-immigration political parties; economic rivalry in Asia with China; and a renewal of US military hegemony in the Western Hemisphere.

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok is glitching again.

This time, among other problems, the chatbot is spewing misinformation about the Bondi Beach shooting, in which at least eleven people were killed at a Hanukkah gathering.

Rob Reiner, who directed such beloved Hollywood classics as This Is Spinal Tap, Stand by Me and When Harry Met Sally after starring in the trailblazing sitcom All in the Family, died Sunday along with his wife, Michele, in their Brentwood home, TMZreported. He was 78.

Reiner and his wife, 70, were found dead in their home on Chadbourne Avenue, with the couple “suffering lacerations consistent with a knife,” law enforcement sources told TMZ.

The LAPD are on the scene but have not issued an official confirmation yet. A press conference is expected to take place tonight.
