Michigan case is one of several legal disputes as Trump administration uses emergency powers to force a half-dozen coal-fired plants from closing
In a defeat for the Trump administration, a federal court on Friday ruled that the energy department exceeded its authority when it forced a Michigan coal-fired power plant to stay open past its scheduled retirement date last year.
The energy secretary, Chris Wright, had said the 64-year-old JH Campbell Generating plant was needed to ensure reliable electricity in the region, and he used emergency powers to keep it operating. Environmental groups and three states – Michigan, Illinois and Minnesota – went to court to try to overturn orders keeping the plant online.

New findings raise questions about the role of microbes living in the lungs. More than 35 trillion bacteria live throughout the human body, forming microbiomes in the gut, mouth, lungs, skin, and urogenital tract. Researchers increasingly recognize that these microbial communities are connected to both health and disease, but much about what individual microbes do [...]I'm on record expressing a certain amount of skepticism about Mike Flanagan's rebooted Carrie miniseries for Prime Video. We don’t need another disappointing remake, so what story is there left to tell—especially stretched out over six episodes?
On the plus side, I'm a staunch fan of Flanagan's excellent Netflix horror fare, and he has a particular affinity for the works of Stephen King. He insists he has no intention of creating yet another straight adaptation of the novel.
“Carrie was written half a century ago,” Flanagan said at San Diego Comic-Con earlier this year. “Carrie was adapted spectacularly by Brian De Palma. It is iconic. It is untouchable. There is no reason whatsoever to try to follow in those footsteps and to try to walk on that path. However, the world has changed quite a lot. I think a lot of people think they know what the show is. And the biggest thing I’m excited about today is just knowing what a big surprise our Carrie is going to be.”

Archaeologists in southwestern Germany have unearthed two miniature bird figurines carved from mammoth ivory, among the smallest and most delicate examples of Ice Age art ever found.

Apple TV surprised fans yesterday with the release of a laugh-filled blooper reel for the first season of Pluribus, the post-apocalyptic sci-fi series from “Breaking Bad” creator Vince Gilligan.
The official @AppleTV account on X posted the nearly 90-second compilation with the simple caption: “#Pluribus bloopers have arrived.” The video quickly racked up thousands of likes and enthusiastic replies from viewers thrilled to see the lighter side of the dark comedy-drama.
“Pluribus” follows Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn), “the most miserable person on Earth,” who remains immune when a mysterious wave of forced happiness overtakes the planet. Tasked with saving humanity from its artificial bliss, Carol navigates a bizarre new world alongside a small group of fellow skeptics. The nine-episode first season premiered in November 2025 and is currently streaming on Apple TV, with a second season already ordered.
The blooper reel captures the cast—led by Seehorn — in a series of mishaps between takes. Fans have been particularly amused by Seehorn’s frequent “klutzy” moments, including dropped props, stumbles, and perfectly timed comedic reactions that contrast sharply with her character’s intense on-screen persona. One viewer even playfully dubbed her the “set klutz” in the most affectionate way possible.

Social media reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, with fans thanking Apple TV for the fun behind-the-scenes treat and some asked for more behind-the-scenes content. The lighthearted video serves as a perfect palate cleanser for the show’s ultra-dark tone.

Informações do TMZ dão conta de que a atriz Jennifer Aniston deixou o elenco da vindoura série do Apple TV inspirada em “Estou Feliz Que Minha Mãe Morreu” (“I’m Glad My Mom Died”), aclamado livro de memórias da atriz de “iCarly” Jennette McCurdy.
Segundo as fontes consultadas pelo veículo, a decisão de Aniston foi motivada por conflitos de agenda. Elas também afirmaram que a série segue em produção e que os roteiros dos episódios estão em desenvolvimento ativo.
Anunciada pelo serviço de streaming em julho do ano passado, a série promete trazer, ao longo de dez episódios, um relato comovente e hilário das lutas de McCurdy como ex-atriz mirim, enquanto lida com a sua mãe autoritária e dominadora.

Como comentamos na época, Aniston estava escalada para interpretar justamente a mãe da autora do livro, além de assinar como produtora executiva pela Echo Films. Ela, no entanto, não é a única a se despedir do projeto, já que Jason Reitman (creditado originalmente como diretor) abandonou a série poucos meses após o seu anúncio por conta de divergências criativas com McCurdy, segundo informações do Puck.
Desenvolvida pelo Apple Studios como uma comédia dramática, “I’m Glad My Mom Died” é produzida, escrita e apresentada por McCurdy e Ari Katcher. Sharon Horgan e Stacy Greenberg pela Merman; Dani Gorin, Tom Ackerley e Josey McNamara pela LuckyChap; bem como Jerrod Carmichael e Erica Kay integram a equipe de produtores executivos.
Aniston, vale lembrar, estrela o sucesso “The Morning Show” — série do Apple TV que, como ficamos sabendo mais cedo, será encerrada após sua quinta temporada, prevista para 2027.
O Apple TV está disponível no aplicativo Apple TV em mais de 100 países e regiões, seja em iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs, Macs, dispositivos Android, smart TVs ou online — além de também estar em aparelhos como Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast com Google TV, consoles PlayStation e Xbox. O serviço custa R$29,90 por mês, com um período de teste gratuito de 7 dias. Por tempo limitado, quem comprar e ativar um novo iPhone, iPad, Apple TV ou Mac ganha 3 meses do Apple TV. Ele também faz parte do pacote de assinaturas da empresa, o Apple One.

A study suggests that severe pollinator losses may have sharply slowed plant adaptation. A morning glory facing a warmer climate may benefit from blooming earlier. But if pollinators are becoming harder to attract, producing larger flowers may matter more. New research suggests that these competing pressures have become linked in a way that sharply limits [...]Lettuce and salad greens have become the prime suspects in an explosive outbreak of the diarrheal parasite Cyclospora, which is surging nationwide but erupting to extraordinary heights in Michigan.
In recent years, Michigan has typically reported around 50 cases of cyclosporiasis, which causes urgent bouts of watery diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and nausea. But, this year, as of July 14, the state has reported 3,309 cases of the food-borne pathogen. Of those 44 have been hospitalized.
Based on interviews with more than 1,000 people sickened in Michigan, the latest data is pointing to leafy greens as the source, according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS).
