In her new music video for the track “Moth,” which Variety is premiering in conjunction with the release of her new album, Ashley Monroe is drawn to a campfire like a moth to the friend group. Which is to say, the video is meant to hark back to more carefree, communal times in which, as a youth, you feel like you’ve discovered your tribe, even as, in adulthood, you may wonder whether these experiences are still possible. The answer to that is yes, they are — at least if you’re a part of the Nashville singer-songwriter community and as beloved…

Case has raised concerns among government critics about a crackdown ahead of Uganda’s national election early next year.A Ugandan judge has refused to grant bail to veteran opposition figure Kizza Besigye, who has been in jail for nearly nine months on treason charges.Judge Emmanuel Baguma said on Friday that the 180-day maximum period before mandatory bail is granted only began when he was remanded in the civilian court on February 21, which means he falls short by 12 days to meet the requirements to secure bail.His lawyers argued he should be automatically released on bail because he has spent more…

During a Reddit ask-me-anything session on Friday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and key members of the GPT-5 team were peppered with questions about the new model and requests to bring back its previous model, GPT-4o. They also asked Altman about the most embarrassing — and perhaps funniest — snafu in the presentation, the “chart crime.” One of the new features that GPT-5 rolled out is a real-time router that decides which model to use for a particular prompt, either responding quickly or taking additional time to “think” through answers. But multiple people in the AMA on the r/ChatGPT Reddit complained…

It’s almost impossible to divide superheroes along political lines. Captain America might seem like a patriotic, commie-bashing lunatic, as he was in the 1950s comics during the McCarthy era, until you remember that he has also spent much of his fictional career telling corrupt government agencies to shove it. And, in the Marvel Comic Universe, at least, he went on the run rather than sign up for an authoritarian superhero registry. Superman was once the square-jawed poster boy for US exceptionalism, cheerfully posing on propaganda comic covers urging readers to buy war bonds, but he’s also been written as a…

They get it wrong nearly every year despite the fact that they’ve mostly gotten it right.Of course, Top 25 lists are no better. You know who votes in those? Reporters and coaches. Reporters clearly don’t know ball, and coaches don’t have the time to watch the games. We can’t trust them either.There was…
