Levi Strauss raised its full-year guidance Thursday and said it’s working to absorb some of the costs it’s facing from higher tariffs, but that could change as President Donald Trump’s trade policy evolves. The denim maker doesn’t disclose its key manufacturing hubs, but much of its supply comes from Southeast Asia. Many countries in the region have been targeted by Trump’s so-called reciprocal tariff plan. Levi’s is currently expecting its full-year adjusted earnings to be between $1.25 and $1.30 per share, up from a prior forecast of between $1.20 and $1.25 and better than the $1.23 analysts had expected, according to LSEG.…

It’s time to say goodbye to Lakeview. One of Prime Video’s most original series, Upload, is logging off for the final time, and it’s bittersweet in more ways than one. Not only are we parting ways with this fun series at the end of the summer, but it’s with fewer episodes than we would’ve expected or wanted. (Courtesy of Prime/Copyright Amazon MGM Studios) Our last foray into the digital afterlife will consist of a four-part series finale. Yes, that means that we’ll only get four episodes to wrap up Upload’s fourth and final season. Resident Alien Season 4 Episode 6…

European Union leaders are sounding off on the 30% tariffs U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose on the trade bloc, with most emphasizing the need for unity, constructive dialogue and their readiness to work toward an agreement by Aug. 1.”Imposing 30% tariffs on EU exports would disrupt essential transatlantic supply chains, to the detriment of businesses, consumers and patients on both sides of the Atlantic,” Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, said in a statement. “The EU has consistently prioritized a negotiated solution with the U.S., reflecting our commitment to dialogue, stability, and a constructive transatlantic partnership.”Some…

Me 3645 Studio | Moment | Getty ImagesRepublicans gave a roughly $4 trillion tax cut to Americans in the so-called “big beautiful bill” that President Donald Trump signed into law July 4, extending several tax provisions scheduled to expire in 2026.However, there was a notable omission, according to health policy experts: an extension of a tax break that lowered health insurance premiums for millions of people.The enhanced premium tax credits, in place since 2021, have lowered the cost of health insurance premiums for those who buy coverage through the Affordable Care Act marketplace. Enrollees can use these to lower their…
If you’re a fan of The Jeffersons, you know that it was a spinoff of All in the Family. In fact, Mike Evans, who played Lionel Jefferson, was the first member of the Jefferson family to show up on that iconic show. Mike had not, however, been producer Norman Lear‘s first pick for the character. Instead, Norman wanted Cleavon Little, perhaps best known for the classic Mel Brooks film Blazing Saddles, to play Lionel. But the casting director for All in the Family was uneasy about Cleavon in the role; he wanted an actor who would challenge Archie Bunker’s thinking,…
Even though Superman has just been released, Nicholas Hoult has already scored his next role — an ambassador for the global humanitarian organization, Save the Children. Hoult, who plays villain Lex Luthor in the new DC Studios film, recently stopped by the charity and community arts center Rich Mix in London to hold a Q&A with kids and discuss his childhood, what it’s like being part of a superhero movie and his journey as an actor. “It’s been a real privilege to meet the children here at Rich Mix on my first day as an official ambassador for Save the Children,” Hoult said in a statement. “Seeing…
Metallica have forced the US government to withdraw a social media video that made use of ‘Enter Sandman’ without authorisation. The Department of Defense sent out a post on X on Friday (July 11) that featured Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth promoting the country’s military drone capabilities. The original version included the band’s classic 1991 track, but it did not remain online for long. Metallica promptly issued a copyright notice, and the Department subsequently withdrew the video, posting a version without ‘Enter Sandman’ in its place.

AI could automate some government paperwork, but it comes with serious risksBrett Hondow / Alamy Many countries are exploring how artificial intelligence might help with everything from processing taxes to determining welfare benefits. But a survey shows citizens are not as enthusiastic as their governments – and this can create real risks for democracy. “Focusing only on short-term efficiency gains and shiny technology risks triggering public backlash and contributing to a long-term decline in democratic trust and legitimacy,” says Alexander Wuttke at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in Germany. Wuttke and his colleagues asked around 1200 people in the…
