20 Century Fox Sometimes, movies take a while to find their audience because they’re initially misunderstood, or because the particular circumstances of their release don’t favor them in the attention economy. But, when it comes to 2006’s “Idiocracy,” the movie’s initial commercial failure was more a case of the studio refusing to even give it a chance. Although it was a big, star-studded comedy distributed by 20th Century Fox, “Idiocracy” was not given a wide theatrical release and received virtually no promotion. Even so, as the years passed, “Idiocracy” found its…

A static image that seems to pulsate like a growing tunnel has been puzzling neuroscientists and delighting the internet in equal measure. At first glance, it looks like nothing more than a black blur in the centre of a white background filled with scattered dots.

What makes this illusion more than just a viral curiosity is what happens behind the eyes. Researchers at the University of Oslo found that when people stare at the centre of this…

When President Donald Trump slapped a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports this summer, executives at Taurus Holdings did what many others have done: They turned to a Trump-aligned lobbyist named Brian Ballard. Taurus makes handguns and rifles, marketing itself as “the industry’s undisputed price leader.” It exports most of its products from Brazil to the U.S. So a tariff-generated price hike of 50% for American buyers loomed as an existential threat, and the company needed help in Washington, D.C. Through Ballard’s firm and others with close ties to Trump administration figures, Taurus and other gunmakers are now trying to appeal to the president…

Former Indian cricketer Mohammed Kaif has praised opener KL Rahul following his brilliant century against the West Indies in Ahmedabad, highlighting that his greatest strengths are “belief and hard work.” Kaif also criticised critics who quickly change opinions after just a few good innings. KL Rahul scored his first home century since 2016, making 100 off 197 balls with 12 boundaries.

Coming off a standout tour of England, where he guided India’s younger players in the absence…
