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.

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.

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 ..

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.
