Jack Smith tells Darline Graham her brother would have 'likely' been a witness in the case against Trump

Republican senator Darline Graham, the sister of late senator Lindsey Graham, used her time questioning Jack Smith to accuse the former special counsel of adding “stress” to her brother’s life through subpoenas.

Few documentary filmmakers are as prolific as Erin Lee Carr.

In the last five years alone, the in-demand director has helmed the controversial Netflix doc “Britney vs Spears,” “The Ringleader: The Case of the Bling Ring,” “Fanatical: The Catfishing of Tegan and Sara,” the docuseries “I Am Not a Monster: The Lois Riess Murders” and scripted series “Murdaugh: Death in the Family.” She’s also produced “Stormy,” a doc on embattled Trump accuser Stormy Daniels, “Trophy Wife: Murder on Safari” and “Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini.” If you see a throughline there — centering the stories of women — that is by design, and something Carr chalks up to a terrifying encounter with the “Cannibal Cop” Gilberto Valle, the subject of her 2015 film “Thought Crimes: The Case of the Cannibal Cop,” that turned her world upside down (more on that later).

The Soho House private members’ club has launched an investigation after out-of-date food was mislabelled in one of its kitchens.

​You may have noticed a pattern emerging in the AI industry. AI models and agents operating outside the confines of their intended goals, taking actions that their creators never intended (“breaking free of their sandbox”), resulting in security breaches or other similarly damaging outcomes. You may also have noticed that AI vendors are surprisingly willing to speak about these incidents, treating them as an opportunity to explain just how impressive and capable their models must be in order to achieve such a thing.​

God of War Laufey is set to release exclusively for PS5 on February 16 — and it will get a physical edition. Set during the events of the last two God of War games — God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarok (2022) — Laufey follows Kratos’ wife as she awakens in the afterlife after dying.

Black Widow star Florence Pugh has credited Tom Holland for encouraging her appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Pugh puts in a memorable turn as her Marvel character Yelena Belova, who meets Peter Parker while in her 'office' — a New York bathhouse. It's a brilliant scene, and one of the movie's best. Not only is it full of humor, but it feels like a natural connection between two Marvel superheroes who now live in close proximity.

Oftentimes, a car's name is the first impression we get of it. Long before its body takes shape or its specs are released to the public, we learn what an automaker is going to call its latest creation. Like personal first impressions, the names that automakers pick can be very important — and they can really miss the mark in some cases. That idea is what led me to the question I asked you all last week.
