Major car suppliers in Germany say they are struggling with the high upfront costs of shifting to EVs and “slow demand,” with companies looking to lay off thousands of workers, as much as 20% of total staff in some cases, in the coming years. Bosch, the world’s largest automotive supplier for Ford, GM, Toyota, VW, and BMW, among others, said last week that as many as 1,200 employers in its software and electronics division would be fired by the end of 2026, and that 80% of those cuts would take…

To tell an addiction story is to traffic in cliche. It’s “always a story that has already been told”, writes Leslie Jamison in her addiction memoir The Recovering, one that comes down “to the same demolished and reductive and recycled core: Desire. Use. Repeat.” Recovery relies on its own well-worn platitudes – rock bottom, one day at a time, “I’m X, and I’m an alcoholic.”The Outrun, German director Nora Fingscheidt’s mesmeric adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s 2016 memoir, accepts such trite foundations as a point. Rona, played…

Julie Byrne precisely remembers the day she met the man who would change her life. “I loved him right away,” she says. It was the 2014 SXSW festival in Austin, Texas and Eric Littmann had helped engineer an outdoor live session by the then-emerging songwriter on a dry creek bed. “He always said he felt chosen by me, right out the gate,” she recalls. “I remember feeling so at ease in his presence.” At the creek, they paired off together. “We heard the call of a mourning dove and I asked him whose song that was and he told…

The meme coin sector is already tense, with news of Big Eyes Coin (BIG) and its impending launch permeating the cryptocurrency market. The meme coin started its presale in September 2022 and has since raked in over $30 million in token sales. Its immense popularity is down to a user influx from rival meme coin platforms Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Baby Dogecoin (BABYDOGE), whose users have migrated to the more attractive feline option. Here is a brief analysis of what to expect in a few weeks from Big Eyes Coin (BIG). Shiba Inu…

Samsung Electronics Co. is counting on demand for premium devices to drive double-digit growth in sales of marquee Galaxy phones in 2023, despite signs the global market may contract a second straight year. The world's largest smartphone maker, which warned this week that a record smartphone slump may persist well into 2023, expects to outpace the industry by focusing on quality components while gradually expanding in countries like China where it's lagged Apple Inc. Global smartphone shipments fell by the most in…

When you think of Survivor’s 1982 classic “Eye of the Tiger,” the first thing that probably comes to mind is the Rocky franchise. That’s completely fair when the third installment of the iconic boxing franchise heavily features the song, which ended up going on to land an Academy Award and Grammy nomination. However, what you may not know is that there’s another film out there that both begins and ends with “Eye of the Tiger,” and it was released four years after Rocky III. What was this forgotten flick called, you may…

There’s barely a horror franchise in existence that hasn’t caved to the law of diminishing returns, but despite being a one-trick pony that was obligated to lean on a single gimmick from the very start, Final Destination proved to be a surprisingly consistent set of supernatural chillers. The basic premise of being unable to escape death is a doozy, and opened the door to a variety of ingenious and inventive kills that hammered home the central conceit of fate being inevitable. Along the way, the second installment…

Time loop movies are a tough nut to crack, largely down to the sheer delight audiences derive from picking apart holes in the logic. There’s a reason why so many of them miss the mark, but it has to be said that Before I Fall is one of the better efforts to have emerged in recent years. Helmed by Ry Russo-Young from a script co-written by The Old Guard and director Gina Prince-Blythewood, there are definitely familiar elements seeping out of almost every frame, but a solid central performance from Zoey Deutch does a…

Keep reading to find out more. Dogecoin (DOGE): Instability has…

The meme coin ecosystem started booming in the past few years, even though some projects were launched as early as 2012. Dogecoin is the most renowned meme coin, primarily due to Elon Musk’s mentions on Twitter. DOGE launched ten years ago as a joke to make fun of people investing in cryptocurrencies while the markets were still relatively young.  Since then, countless meme tokens have tried to take the top spot from Dogecoin, with Shiba Inu leading the way. However, Dogekiller’s token, LEASH, was the only…
