Week of the aliens on Capitol Hill!
A bipartisan group of lawmakers is doubling down on solving the decades-old UFO mystery. On Wednesday, the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities will hold the second hearing on the phenomenon in over 50 years.
Congressional interest in UFOs (also known as “unidentified anomalous phenomena,” or UAP) surged following the 2017 publication of eyebrow-raising videos recorded by Navy fighter jets. Briefings by naval aviators who witnessed the mysterious objects maneuvering in extraordinary ways subsequently paved the way for groundbreaking UAP-related legislation.

David’s Bridal bankruptcy: Are we seeing a cultural shift?
David’s Bridal is reportedly filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after it eliminated over 9,000 positions across the United States.
The formal-wear company has been one of the largest retailers of wedding gowns in the country.
According to ABC 11, the news comes after David’s Bridal laid off 9,236 positions across the country. The Pennsylvania-based company reportedly employs around 11,000 workers nationwide.
Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail, said that the “scale of these layoffs suggest that David’s Bridal is in crisis mode,” adding that the company’s behavior “indicates there is massive restructuring going on behind these scenes with a view to conserve cash as the company prepares for either bankruptcy or a sale.”

Super Mario weekend 2: Still flying high
Mario is just showing no signs of quitting and is expected to get to the coveted $1B mark. It’s playing to a wide swath of audiences and is the No. 1 release of 2023 in 26 international markets including Australia, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, UK & Ireland and Spain ..
The story here is not just the success of the Mario movie, but also the absolute plummeting of Disney, and all of its attempts at a box office miracle. The Marvel films had one or two good weekends of major money drop significantly, buzz light year was terrible.
Other animated films that Disney released couldn’t muster up box office mojo.
But somehow, a plumber and his brother have overtaken the box office by storm, and became one of the biggest movies in years. And it’s not Disney.

BLAME THE STACHE!
The World Wrestling Entertainment apologized today for using an image of concentration camp Auschwitz in a video hyping a match!
THEY REALLY DID… And they really used it!
The WWE video used the camp image with audio of wrestler Dominik Mysterio pretending to be a criminal incarcerated in the facility.
“We had no knowledge of what was depicted,” said a WWE statement issued Friday. “As soon as we learned, it was removed immediately. We apologize for this error.”
The images do not appear in YouTube replays. The image showed barbed wire fences and guard towers at the concentration camp.
The WWE recently announced its acquisition by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) parent Endeavor. The merger of the entities would create one of the world’s largest sports and entertainment companies, with a combined valuation of $21 billion.
