When tickets for the 2028 L.A. Olympics dropped earlier this month for locals, emotions around town quickly moved from pure excitement to shock and confusion. Prices have been all over the place. A seat at the opening ceremony ranges from $329 to $5,519, The Times reported. Tickets for sessions similarly run the gamut. Some prices we’ve seen and heard: $2,460 for the women’s gymnastics team final. $498 for the men’s volleyball preliminary. $1,141 for the mixed track and field final. Women’s handball for $241. And yes, some lucky fans were able to grab $28 tickets for some events, but those…

Razing Hell / April 15, 2026 It’s not the kitschy White House ballroom—it’s logistics warehouses converted to ICE detention centers. Ad Policy This is not designed for people.(Getty) This article appears in the May 2026 issue, with the headline “ICE Palaces.” When Congress voted to expand the budget of Immigration and Customs Enforcement by $170 billion last July, it was inevitable that some of that money would be spent reshaping the built environment toward new and more sinister ends. Sure enough, by the end of 2025, ICE released plans to convert seven massive logistics warehouses scattered across the United States…

Manchester United travel to face Chelsea on Saturday night, in a match that could go a long way towards deciding who finishes in the top four in the Premier League this term.  The Red Devils currently sit third in the top flight table, although Michael Carrick’s side have won just one of their last four games and were beaten 2-1 by struggling Leeds United last time out. Chelsea, meanwhile, occupy sixth place in the Premier League standings, and have won just one of their last seven games in the competition. Ahead of the match at Stamford Bridge, it is emerging…

The California Supreme Court ordered attorney and former law school dean John Eastman disbarred on Wednesday for his role aiding the Trump administration’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election. The court ordered Eastman’s name be “stricken from the roll of attorneys” and that he pay $5,000 to the State Bar of California. Eastman’s attorney, Randall A. Miller, told the Associated Press that the court’s decision “departs from long-standing United States Supreme Court precedent protecting First Amendment rights, especially in the attorney discipline context.” Miller did not immediately return an after-hours phone call seeking comment from The Times.State Bar Chief Trial…

By Joshua Tyler | Published 17 seconds ago No other genre falls victim to early cancellation more often than science fiction. Networks are notoriously impatient with anything that involves expensive special effects or sets, and SF is labor and cost-intensive. That short runway for success has deprived us of proper endings to some of the greatest sci-fi stories ever told, so we’re left wondering what happened to the Wild Cards in their war with the Chigs, whether the crew of the Destiny ever found a gate back to Earth, and did Captain Gideon find a cure for the Drak plague…

U.S. officials told CBS News on Wednesday that talks on extending the current two-week ceasefire with Iran, which is set to expire on Tuesday, were ongoing, but that there has been no agreement yet on terms. “The United States has not formally agreed to an extension of the ceasefire,” a senior U.S. official said Wednesday. “There is continued engagement between the U.S. and Iran to reach a deal.”Iran’s Foreign Ministry acknowledged Wednesday that the regime was engaged in indirect communications with the U.S., meanwhile, but said the aim is a complete end to the war and a lifting of sanctions against…

Donald Trump has always struggled with the concept of letting stuff go. No matter how absurd, the president can’t seem to give up the need to try to persuade people that his version of events is the reality. So it’s no surprise that after drawing widespread condemnation for his unholy self-comparison to Jesus Christ earlier this week, Trump is doubling down on his holiness.  Trump spent Tuesday night regaling the public with another Truth Social posting spree, capping it off Wednesday morning with a screenshot of an X post featuring an AI-generated image of Jesus Christ embracing Trump. The image…
