In the film, Bronz's character is commissioned to compose a new national anthem for post-Oct. 7 Israel, and writes a warmongering ballad about destroying Gaza and 'love sanctified in blood.'
More than 30,000 hectares of land are covered in plastic, a geometric labyrinth five times the size of Manhattan, where 3.5m tons of vegetables are produced every year from tomatoes to cucumbers, peppers to courgettes, aubergines to melons, enough to feed half a billion people and generate a turnover of more than 3bn euros.
Curry's activism has rarely strayed beyond consensus liberalism. When the United States fractures, he offers a milquetoast quote. During the Minneapolis protests, he called the turnout "beautiful," saying it "speaks to how important people felt it was to have their voice heard." He funds literacy and nutrition programs in Oakland through the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation.
Today, with V4, we're setting a new benchmark for avatar fidelity and performance while keeping it fast enough for real-time conversations and consistent, efficient, and secure enough for enterprise scale.

Israeli settlers shot dead a Palestinian man, 28-year-old Amir Moatasem Odeh, on Saturday. Two other residents were injured. There was also an assault on the area of Rashayda, east of Bethlehem, on Saturday, with the local mayor describing settler violence as a near-daily reality for residents.
The nationwide student movement against US support for Israel's genocide in Gaza has brought renewed attention to the military ties at colleges and universities at a level not seen since the anti-Vietnam War movement. In 2024, the Pentagon provided over $10 billion in research grants to US universities. This doesn't account for additional university funding that came directly from weapons contractors, nor does it account for funding directly from the Israeli military-industrial complex.
If we did that today, it would be a hundred percent, because right now, without question, 2026 is riskier than 2025. So farmers really [face significant challenges]. The war in Iran continues and it works back to the world of agriculture. It's had an impact on fertiliser and diesel prices and commodity markets, as well as currency.

For someone aiming to end the global livestock industry, Bruce Friedrich begins his new book called Meat in disarming fashion: I'm not here to tell anyone what to eat.

Yaghi describes AI not as a silver bullet, but as an advanced form of statistical pattern recognition-tools that can identify trends in data that may be difficult or time-consuming for people to uncover on their own. The real opportunity, he says, depends heavily on what farms are already doing. Operations that are consistently collecting and digitizing high-quality data are better positioned to benefit, whether the goal is lowering per-cow costs in a dairy, improving financial analysis, or identifying operational efficiencies.
Two meetings, held almost simultaneously towards the end of December, offered a stark illustration of the competing strategic visions now shaping the Eastern Mediterranean and the Levant.
