Topline Concerns about the American banking system’s health yet again sent the stock market tumbling Wednesday, as one major index appears poised to post one of their weakest May returns of the millennium. It's been a challenging May for investors not exposed to the AI-driven tech rally. AFP via Getty Images Key Facts The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.5%, or 150 points, by 1:45 p.m. ET, while the S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq slid 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively. Headlining the skid were bank stocks: All 15 of the largest U.S. banks by market capitalization dropped 1% or more in Wednesday trading, losing $30.9 billion in value. Investors’ loss of faith in bank stocks came after the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation revealed bank deposits fell 2.5% during the first three months of 2023, the largest decline since regulators began tracking the metric 39 years ago. The FDIC noted Wednesday the 8.2% reduction in the volume of deposits above the FDIC-gua

After dropping a fun poster for the highly anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem , the TMNT official Twitter account promised a new trailer was on the way, and they weren’t lying. As we start the two-month countdown until the animated feature film’s premiere, there’s nothing better to keep us hyped up than brand-new footage from the iconic quartet. The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie will approach the group of characters the same way that the recent live-action films did: As actual teenagers who take it upon themselves to use their mutant abilities to save New York from threats. So, different from the 2007 animated movie , this time we can expect lots of joking around and adolescent mutant turtles just being kids in whatever chance they get.

(Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty Images) Getty Images The modern style of play at the NBA level continues to shift as each season passes. Players are asked to be more versatile and serve multiple roles. As this happens, we’re beginning to see a more positionless style of play as many athletes on the court are able to make plays with the ball regardless of their size. The Oklahoma City Thunder has embraced this new style of play, and has even pushed those boundaries some. There were many points in the 2022-23 season in which Oklahoma City ran unorthodox lineups. At times, the Thunder played upwards of four guards at the same time with no traditional big on the floor. Inversely, at other times OKC played multipl

Godzilla's decades-long mythos has resulted in plenty of foes that can claim to take the top spot of the creature's arch-nemesis. King Ghidorah, Mechagodzilla, and SpaceGodzilla all have their place in the pantheon, and some may even make the case for King Kong on occasion, but these kaiju pale in comparison to one particular monster seen squaring off with Godzilla in 1995. It may not have the highest number of appearances in Toho's film franchise, but Destoroyah's debut in Godzilla vs. Destoroyah cemented it as the greatest antagonist ever faced by our atomic breath-brandishing hero. With multiple evolutionary forms, a high intellect, and a taste for maliciousness, Destoroyah is an echo of humanity's past attempts to defeat Godzilla, emerging as a result of the original 1954 film decades later to enact wanton destruction and bring the fate of humanity to the brink of extinction.

Timothy Tillman, right, and LAFC coach Steve Cherundolo in conversation prior to LAFC's game against ... [+] the San Jose Earthquakes back at Levi's Stadium on May 6 in Santa Clara, California. Getty Images Mexican soccer has taken plenty of flak the last few years. The national team has under-performed in Concacaf and on the world stage since 2020, going winless in its last four competitive matches against the rival United States and failing to advance from its World Cup group for the first time in 40 years. Off the field, a segment of El Tri fans continue to persist in a homophobic chant that has resulted in repeated use of anti-discrimination protocols. A larger faction of fans and media have continued to show unfair skepticism of national team managers who aren’t Mexican citizens and national team players with dual-national roots. Domestically, Liga MX finally lost its stranglehold on the Concacaf Champions League and by proxy, it’s claim of superiority over MLS,

Topline Former President Donald Trump attacked former White House press secretary and longtime supporter Kayleigh McEnany on Tuesday after she appeared on Fox News and claimed Trump’s primary rival Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was gaining on him in the polls for the Iowa primary. File Photo: Former President Donald Trump attacked former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh ... [+] McEnany after she claimed DeSantis was closing in on him in the polls. Getty Images Key Facts In a post on his Truth Social platform , Trump called out “Kayleigh ‘Milktoast’ McEnany” saying she gave out the wrong poll numbers on Fox News and insisted he holds a 34-point lead on DeSantis “not 25.” The insult is likely a misspelling of the word “milquetoast,” which is an adjective used to describe a feeble or meek person. Trump's post also insinuates that McEnany deliberately shares what he deems are the real numbers. “RINOS & Globalists can have her,” Trump wrote, using the acronym for

Topline Succession went out on a high Sunday night, securing nearly 3 million viewers for its series finale—and although it eclipsed viewership of its previous season finales, the tycoon drama remains in the shadow of finales from HBO juggernauts like Game of Thrones , The Sopranos, House of the Dragon and The Last of Us .

Editor's note: The following contains major spoilers for both the TV and movie version of Fatal Attraction. Adrian Lyne 's 1987 erotic thriller Fatal Attraction is not kind to its villain, Alex Forrest ( Glenn Close ). Because the movie is intended to be scary, Alex is portrayed as threatening, and menacing: a dangerous, insane killer whose motives defy understanding, a bit like Michael Myers. The 2023 miniseries, on the other hand, takes a very different approach to Alex ( Lizzy Caplan ) and, by extension, to her mental illness. Less horror movie villain and more complicated character. We don't exactly root for series Alex, but we certainly have sympathy for her. COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Many critics have theorized that Alex has Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), a mental illness that, like all illnesses, can present differently from one person to another, but is often characterized by severe mood swings, unstable relationships in

The 30-year-old hitmaker explained how she uses her character as a shield and how her real personality, born Larissa de Macedo Machado , is not the same. “I was like, if I have this behavior, nobody will ever f**k with me,” Anitta said in a new interview. “Before anyone [else], I go there: ‘Oh, I had sex. I did this. I did that.’ The real me? I don’t have sex for months and I don’t care. But Anitta would never.

Disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes will report to prison on Tuesday to begin a more than 11-year sentence for defrauding investors with false claims about her company's blood-testing technology. Holmes, who was sentenced last fall, has failed in multiple requests to delay her incarceration as she awaits a ruling on an appeal. The watershed moment on Tuesday follows a legal saga that turned the former billionaire entrepreneur, who swore her startup could run hundreds of tests on a single drop of blood, into a symbol of excess and deception in Silicon Valley. Elizabeth Holmes speaks about Theranos' vision at their headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif., July 3, 2014. MediaNews Group via Getty Images A federal judge earlier this month ordered Holmes to report to prison after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit denied her request to remain free pending an appeal. Judge Edward Davila, who oversaw the trial of Holmes, allowed her a short postponement o

CARSON CITY, Nev. -- Lawmakers are considering a proposal to finance and incentivize construction of a Major League Baseball stadium on the Las Vegas Strip, with an initial public hearing scheduled Monday at the Nevada Legislature. The plan would authorize up to $380 million in incentives for the potential $1.5 billion retractable-roof stadium, mainly through state transferable tax credits and county bonds to help provide a home for the Oakland Athletics. The state would forgo up to $180 million in transferable tax credits, with a cap at $36 million per year. The $120 million in county bonds would help with construction costs and be paid off gradually. The proposal's price tag and behind-the-scenes negotiations have sparked debate about public subsidies and equity in state economic development efforts. State lawmakers also are considering billions of dollars in tax credits to bring major film studios to Las Vegas. The governor’s office of economic development has approved hundr

Alarming surveillance footage from a bus in Charlotte, North Carolina, shows a chaotic exchange of gunfire between a bus driver and a passenger following a dispute earlier this month. Video from the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) shows the moment that a passenger, Omarri Tobias, and the bus driver, David Fullard, exchange gunfire with bullets breaking through a shield that separates the driver from passengers. Advertisement It’s unclear who fired first in the exchange. The shocking shootout occurred after Tobias asked Fullard to make an unscheduled stop on May 18 before Fullard turned down the request, according to Charlotte’s WCNC . “I dare you, touch me,” the passenger says as the two go on to have a tense exchange at the front of the bus. Tobias is seen in the video pulling out a gun before Fullard pulls out a gun of his own prior to shots ringing out on the bus. The bus then trails off the road before coming to a stop as Fullard exits his seat and points

Philadelphia Union striker Julian Carranza has seven goals this season for a team that is unbeaten ... [+] in its last six. The Union are trying to return to the 2023 MLS Cup final after losing to LAFC last year. AFP via Getty Images Somehow after all this time, the Philadelphia Union were flying under the radar again. But for how much longer? After a slow start, the Union are the hottest team in MLS at the moment, winning five times during a six-match unbeaten run, most recently in an impressive 3-1 victory at New York City FC on Saturday night. After play closed on Matchday 15 on Sunday, the Union had climbed back up to fourth in the Eastern Conference standings. They’re tied for the second-best goal difference in the East, and are the only team in MLS with three players who have already scored five or more times.
