Many celebrities have spoken out about their personal battles with breast cancer over the years. Julia Louis-Dreyfus went public with her breast cancer diagnosis in September 2017 via Instagram. Nearly one year later, she had successfully beaten the illness and returned to work on Veep. “It sounds kind of corny, but there’s something about after you’ve walked through something like this, which is such a crisis, to be able to help someone who’s then going through,” she told Good Morning America in 2019. “It really is something that I’m happy to do.” Thank You!

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – There are no immigrants waiting for rulings anymore at San Francisco’s main immigration court, no lawyers making arguments. The court, which had 21 judges when President Donald Trump was sworn in last year, had only two left when it closed May 1. The rest had been fired, retired or resigned amid a White House purge of federal immigration judges. The closing is one more reflection of the turmoil that has upended the immigration court system as the administration looks for ways to churn through its massive backlog of 3.8 million asylum cases and deport as many…

Tom Hardy may still have a place on the “MobLand” set. It recently made headlines that the actor was fired from the show and would be scrapped from the third season due to alleged clashes with producers on set.

The national statistics agency INEGI on Friday confirmed that Mexico’s economy contracted during the first quarter of the year, but not as much as the preliminary data had suggested. Even so, GDP registered its biggest drop since the fourth quarter of 2014, shrinking 0.6% in the January-March period compared to the previous three months. It was also the worst first quarter since 2020, when the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic caused the economy to shrink by 1.2%.  At -1.7%, the steepest decline was the primary sector, which includes agriculture.

In the latest sign of these AI-heavy times, the National Transportation Safety Board temporarily removed access to its docket system after discovering that voices of pilots who were killed in a UPS plane crash last year had been recreated using AI and were circulating on the internet. NTSB is prohibited by federal law from including cockpit audio recordings in its docket system, which otherwise contains troves of data on investigations and has historically been open to the public. But the accident docket for this flight included a spectrogram file of the voice recorder. A spectrogram uses a mathematical process to…

Serena Williams posted a brief message on Instagram this week. She didn’t add context or an explanation. “Someone told me I need to slow down…” she wrote. The post collected nearly 30,000 likes. The response was warm and almost instant. Williams stepped away from professional tennis in September 2022. She played her last match at the US Open that year. It was the end of a career unlike anything women’s tennis had ever seen. She won 23 Grand Slam singles titles and four Olympic gold medals across three decades. She redefined the sport and became one of the most iconic…
