NBC Contains spoilers for “Chicago Fire” Season 14, Episode 1 — “Kicking Down Doors.” As it enters its 14th season, “Chicago Fire” is once again in the position of having to replace several important actors who are in the midst of departing the show. As it stands, Daniel Kyri’s Darren Ritter, Jake Lockett’s Sam Carver, and Michael Bradway’s Jack Damon are all slated to leave the series this season.

District-level data on the final rolls was provided by district election officials. The biggest overall decreases were seen in the Bihar…

Adrian S Burrows Sr/NBC Contains Spoilers for “Chicago Med” Season 11, Episode 1 — “We All Fall Down” “Chicago Med” audiences had their suspicions that Dean Archer (Steven Weber) and Hannah Asher’s (Jessy Schram) quality cereal time during Season 10 was a little more than a simple friendly gathering, and the Season 11 premiere, “We All Fall Down,” confirms their intuition: The twosome conceived a child. That means the baby’s not Mitch Ripley’s (Luke Mitchell), Hannah’s boyfriend, whom she has had an on-and-off relationship with over the past season. Mitch is…

Universal Pictures In trying to market it as a romantic movie for couples to see together on Valentine’s Day, “Love Hurts” was given an ill-advised release in February 2025. That botched marketing decision turned the movie into one of the biggest box office bombs of 2025. Luckily, it’s been doing well since it arrived on streaming, and deservedly so. Ke Huy Quan stars as Marvin Gamble, a mild-mannered real estate agent who thought he had left behind his former life as a ruthless hitman. But things get complicated when Rose (Ariana…

Warner Bros. There’s not much we can say about “The Exorcist” that hasn’t been said, but we’d be remiss not to at least give an overview for those unfamilar. Amongst the most legendary horror movies ever put to the screen, “The Exorcist” is based on a novel of the same name by William Peter Blatty. It released at a time when wide-release movies about hauntings and possessions were still acceptable for all ages. 1963’s “The Haunting,” for example, was rated G. The original film starred Ellen Burstyn as a single…

Regulation of dark patterns has been proposed and is being discussed in both the US and Europe. De Freitas says regulators also should look at whether AI tools introduce more subtle—and potentially more powerful—new kinds of dark patterns.Even regular chatbots, which tend to avoid presenting themselves as companions, can elicit emotional responses from users though. When OpenAI introduced GPT-5, a new flagship model, earlier this year, many users protested that it was far less friendly and encouraging than its predecessor—forcing the company to revive the old model. Some users can become so attached to a chatbot’s “personality” that they may…
