Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl (Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, philosopher, and Holocaust survivor)

His memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Based on his own experience and the stories of his patients, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose.

#PostOfTheWeek (season 3):
Emerald Fennell’s (English actress and filmmaker) psychedelic adaptation of “Wuthering Heights” declares that it will play by its own rules right at the start. The opening teases us with the sound of a man’s breathy groaning and subtle moaning over a dark, blank screen. Also audible are quickening creaks of wood as the grunting intensifies—the screen might be pictureless, but the erotic suggestion is clear as daylight.

Wunmi Mosaku (Nigerian-British actress) says it feels “truly dystopian” to celebrate her best supporting actress Oscar nomination after people were killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

Ghostface’s still got it. “Scream 7,” the latest installment in Paramount and Spyglass Media’s long-running slasher series, cemented a franchise record with $64.1 million in its domestic box office debut.

That’s a scary-good start for the 30-year-old property, and one that greatly improves upon the opening of 2023’s “Scream VI,” which previously held the domestic opening weekend benchmark with $44.4 million.

It has been two weeks since the Supreme Court blocked Donald Trump’s emergency tariffs, but an estimated 300,000 US businesses still have no idea if or when they will receive refunds.

Economists have estimated that more than $175 billion was unlawfully collected, and the US could end up owing substantially more than that the longer the refund process is dragged out, since the US must pay back daily interest on the funds.

Last week, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman unveiled a major shakeup in the Artemis Program, intended to put the nation on a better path back to the Moon. The changes focused largely on increasing the launch cadence of NASA’s large SLS rocket and putting a greater emphasis on lunar surface activities.

If you’ve spent more than five minutes driving an electric vehicle, chances are good you’re a convert. But most people haven’t driven an EV, and surveys show that many are scared to consider ditching internal combustion engines for something that plugs in because of concerns about battery reliability. It’s easy to see why—if you don’t follow the field that closely, you’ll have missed some serious technology advances over the last few years.

Elon Musk’s xAI has lost its bid for a preliminary injunction that would have temporarily blocked California from enforcing a law that requires AI firms to publicly share information about their training data.

On September 26, 2022, NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft crashed into a binary asteroid system. By intentionally ramming a probe into the 160-meter-wide moonlet named Dimorphos, the smaller of the two asteroids, humanity demonstrated that the kinetic impact method of planetary defense actually works. The immediate result was that Dimorphos’ orbital period around Didymos, its larger parent body, was slashed by 33 minutes.
