Luigi Manion, who's accused of gunning down United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is back in court this week. And the hearings largely focus on what kind of evidence is inadmissible in court.

We are not in the actual trial yet. Manion's defense team is trying to bar some pieces of evide ...

The new Silicon Valley is in Arizona. Greater Phoenix is becoming America's semiconductor HQ. It's where Intel and TSMC plan to manufacture next generation chips that American companies will need if they want to stay competitive in the AI arms race.That's triggered a rush of hopes and some fears.

Why were Vines 6 seconds? #VersionHistory
The Verge· 2025-11-24 15:04
So, I have a clip from 2013 of two of the founders talking about why they picked the time. >> One of the questions that we get all the time is why is it 6 seconds. So, we started at 5 seconds and we went all the way up to 10.And what we found was that like the quality of the video didn't really change at all, but it became a real pain in the butt to watch a 10-second video. So, we went back down to five, but a lot of people were saying like, "This isn't enough time. I can't like capture what I want." So, wh ...

Abraz on fleek. She's just like a normal girl and makes this video where she gives the world a new term, a new word. Fleek goes from her mind to being used by, you know, like Denny's and stuff like brands, by celebrities.It becomes part of the way that we talk about aesthetics. Um, and I think I really wanted to pick this one because I think it's important to say too that like so much of Vine culture and by extension popular culture was made by young black internet users, like black kids, creative kids who ...
