As contractions and cost-cutting continue to hit the nonfiction space, a major producer is changing its documentary strategy: The New York Times. The Times is restructuring its documentary unit, which is behind its The New York Times Presents series, which has produced nearly four dozen documentaries, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The media company released over 20 films in 2019 under their New York Times Presents banner while it released only four films in 2023. “We just premiered a new film from The New York Times Presents last week, with two additional films presently in production, as well as a separate feature-length documentary that premiered on FX in April,” said a spokesperson for the New York Times on Friday. Films in The New York Times Presents series have been distributed as a part of a deal with FX that saw Times docs released on the cable network and its sister streaming site, Hulu.

Arne Slot is taking over at Liverpool next seasonArne Slot has been criticised by Stephen Warnock for discussing the financial benefits Feyenoord could gain from his potential move to Liverpool, with the former Reds defender stating: "It lacked a little bit of class." Slot is currently the favourite to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, following Klopp's announcement in January that he would be stepping down at the end of the season. Despite other names such as Xabi Alonso, Roberto De Zerbi and Ruben Amorim being linked to the role, it appears that Slot is poised to take the helm at Liverpool. In expressing his ambition to manage Liverpool, Slot also discussed the potential compensation package Feyenoord might receive and its positive impact on Dutch football. This comment did not sit well with Warnock, who felt it showed a lack of class.

Britain’s Conservative Party suffered sweeping setbacks on Friday in local elections that are viewed as a barometer for how the party will perform in a coming general election and a key test for the embattled prime minister, Rishi Sunak. With most of the results announced by Friday evening, the Conservatives were on course for one of their worst performances in a set of local elections since the 1990s. The party has lost more than 400 seats so far, including six in Hartlepool, a town in northeast England emblematic of the expanded political territory it had claimed since Brexit, and is now losing to a resurgent Labour Party. The Conservatives did score one notable victory in a closely watched race for mayor of Tees Valley, also in northeast England, where the Tory incumbent, Ben Houchen, held on, eking out a reduced majority. Almost everywhere else, however, the picture was bleak for the Conservatives, who have trailed the opposition Labour Party by double digits in national polls for 18 months and face the prospect of a landslide defeat in a general election.

This doesn’t include the cost of hearing itself which is about another £20,000 considering Sellafield’s lawyers Deshpal Paneser. Despite previously serving as a Mental Health Champion alongside Ms. McDermott to foster a kinder and more supportive work environment, Mr. Hutton is now relentlessly pursuing costs against her. In various YouTube videos, Mr. Hutton espouses the importance of treating people with kindness, yet his actions towards Ms. McDermott are anything but. Mr. Hutton’s decision to waste these funds on a vindictive legal battle against a whistleblower is an egregious misuse of public money. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/feb/15/spending-watchdog-launches-investigation-into-sellafieldI intend to make the National Audit Office aware of this blog post, as it highlights the unethical and hypocritical behaviour of Mr. Hutton.

Pro-Palestine student protests at the universities are taking the US by storm. The student protests at Columbia University stipulated severing ties with companies supporting Israel, amnesty for students and faculty involved in the protests and disclosure of university funding sources. Indeed, police crackdown has begun across many universities- University of California, Los Angeles; City College of New York, Emory University, Georgia; University of Texas, Austin and many more. Student protests on university campuses across the US are in fact, a conspicuous manifestation of antisemitism. The students’ protests have unfortunately slid deep into a crevasse of progressive activism that routinely accuses Israel of “settler colonialism, apartheid, ethnic cleansing and land theft”.

Labour has won the Blackpool South byelection, marking the third biggest swing from the Conservatives to the party in postwar history. The Labour leader, Keir Starmer, hailed the result as 'seismic', in a night of local elections that provided further evidence that his party is heading for a large majority at this year's general election. Chris Webb, a local and firm favourite, won with 10,825 votes, followed by David Jones, the Tory candidate, with a distant 3,218 votes. Labour's victory is the latest sign that the party is winning again in leave-voting areas it lost to Boris Johnson's Conservatives in 2019, with the party gaining control of the councils in Rushmoor, Thurrock and Hartlepool

Ipswich Town and midweek away games. Football means everything and these aren't just some of the best days supporting Town, these are some of the best days of my life. As I’m sure they are yours, too. Supporting Ipswich is different to supporting any other club. Knowing McKenna, I'm sure he's already planned for Huddersfield and the threats that they bring.

If it does happen, delivering the chip at this time would be a dramatic change from Apple’s typical chip cycle. M3: An incremental performance upgradeThe M3 chip was the first 3nm Mac chip–a process introduced with the A17 Pro in the iPhone 15 Pro. Instead of shipping the base M-series chip first, followed by Pro, Max, and Ultra versions at a later time (as it did with the M1 and M2), the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max were released at the same time. However, until this past Sunday, the M3 cycle was still in progress, with M3 upgrades to the Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro supposedly waiting in the wings. That means that we’ll see the Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro skip a chip cycle.
