Josh Forbes' "Gallagher"
“Comedy is the release of tension and aggression,” Gallagher was known to say when asked for his definition of his particular art, perhaps not all that surprising an answer for the comic best known for ending his act by taking a mallet to a watermelon, but one that appears to be increasingly revealing as Josh Forbes’ compelling biography of him wears on. Forbes makes clear from the beginning of “Gallagher” he had something else in mind when first contacting the comedian to tell his life story, reaching out in 2017 to gauge his interest in being the subject of a career-spanning documentary. However, when Gallagher cuts off any direct involvement in the project, the film may be rougher in every regard, but all the richer for it when Forbes is forced to look outside his main subject for perspective and ends up with a better view of someone who never could see himself clearly. When the hammer comes down in “Gallagher,” you can really feel it. “Gallagher” will be available to stream virtually via the DOC NYC online platform from November 15th through December 1st.

As Western Leaders Look to Talks With Putin, Russia Launches Massive Barrage on Ukraine
Russia hurled Zircon, Iskander and Kinzhal missiles—all difficult to intercept without Western weapons—in addition to Iranian Shahed drones. Ukrainian officials said the main target of the strikes appears to have been Ukraine’s energy infrastructure . “The supply of power to millions this winter depends upon it.”The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed it launched the attack overnight. Ukrainians rushed to bomb shelters and anxiously checked their phones for updates as Russia launched one jet fighter after another. The barrage comes as Ukraine’s Western partners increasingly accept what some see as a need for peace talks.

Gov. Newsom Buys $9 Million House in Marin County – California Globe
Since 2003, California Governors have often split time between living in Sacramento and elsewhere in the state. Until Monday, Newsom appeared to break that trend, as they sold their Marin County house a year after being elected in 2018 and moved to Sacramento full-time, living in the suburb of Fair Oaks. Newsom even bought the house from a billionaire, Hyatt Hotels heir Daniel Pritzker. “Newsom is obviously hoping that, in four years, America will see this as the Western White House,” explained political advisor Daniel Corwin to the Globe on Friday. The Kentfield House, you know, we’ll be hearing a lot about it should he run.

Diabetes rates have quadrupled since 1990 — these are the 4 reasons
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) outlines the following four reasons for the increase in diabetes rates. Being overweight or obeseAlthough excess weight increases diabetes risk, the ADA notes that many diabetes patients are at a normal weight or only moderately overweight. Family history“Having a parent or sibling with type 2 diabetes can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes,” the ADA noted. Around one-third of adults worldwide did not meet the recommended levels of physical activity in 2022, according to WHO. “To bring the global diabetes epidemic under control, countries must urgently take action,” WHO’s Tedros wrote in the release.
