Freddy Krueger can slice you up and invade your dreams, but even he’s not immune to corporate synergy. Months after competing Nightmare on Elm Street projects popped up at both Paramount and Warner Bros., a new report claims the Paramount version has won out. Which makes sense, since one company, Skydance, now owns both Paramount and Warner Bros. To recap, back in July, Paramount announced that it was developing a new Nightmare on Elm Street film with the

Just in case you need it, here’s another reason why you should avoid having your nose or mouth anywhere near a bottle of glue, courtesy of a recent case study. Doctors in Belgium detailed a man in his 40s who developed a strange lesion in his lungs after accidentally inhaling superglue. Thankfully, the lesion wasn’t cancerous as originally feared and appears to have caused no harm, but it’s stuck around in his lungs for at least nine years. “I was relieved

Truth Social owner Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), one of the many businesses funneling cash towards President Donald Trump while he sits in office, posted a $410 million quarterly profit based almost entirely on crypto gains while continuing to bleed money on its core business.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth (who styles himself the “Secretary of War”) survived an attempt at impeachment in the House on Tuesday evening, although there’s every reason to suspect the reprieve may be temporary. House GOP leaders smothered the attempt, which was led by sole Republican defector Rep. Thomas Massie and backed by all Democrats present, with a 211-204 vote to refer the matter to the House Judiciary Committee. Deflecting a full vote by referr

Speaking at the Wall Street Journal’s WSJ Tech conference in Napa on Wednesday, Meta’s President and Vice Chair Dina Powell McCormick said that after the crushing defeat of numerous Republican legislators, governors, and other elected officials, it’s “going to be harder” to build data centers, according to the Journal. “I can also tell you that every hyperscaler is now thinking about ‘Do we need to build outside the United States?’,” Powell McCormick added

Following a blue wave that put Democrats in control of the next Congress and demonstrated Americans’ discontent with the AI buildout, OpenAI is rolling out new commitments governing how it develops data centers. The company behind ChatGPT announced Thursday that it will limit the controversial practice of using nondisclosure agreements with public officials and cover the electricity and energy infrastructure costs of future data centers it owns and operate

Elon Musk lost nearly $500 million on a failed attempt to buy favorable outcomes in the 2026 midterm election. Now, Tesla and SpaceX have shed nearly $500 billion in combined market value as the companies find themselves among the hardest hit in a post-election selloff of tech stocks. Tesla, which was in the red yesterday before the broader market downturn, has now fallen more than 14% over the last two days, wiping out nearly $220 billion off the company’

The Nasdaq Composite fell 5.5%, or an estimated $2.5 trillion in market value, on Thursday. The index descended into correction territory after weak earnings reports in the AI sector and a blue tsunami in the 2026 midterm elections on Tuesday set off a tech stock rout, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Just how badly is the tech sector getting hammered in this post-midterm stock market reckoning? Well, put it this way: If you’d bought Krispy Kreme at the start of the year, you’d be doing better than someone who YOLOed their way into Nvidia at the same time, convinced the AI bubble could never burst. For all the hype and bluster that has surrounded artificial intelligence and the massive infrastructure buildup around it, Nvidia sits just below where it st

China’s Ministry of State Security (M.S.S.) reportedly recruited a woman to spy on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, one of the world’s richest men, President Donald Trump’s favorite AI CEO, and the key player in next-generation GPUs needed for AI training and processing, the New York Times reported on Friday. Previous reports have indicated that the woman, known by the names Alice Huang or Huang Le, was listed as Singapore-based Megaspeed’s managing director until
