Rockstar Games, a division of Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., will ask employees to return to the office five days a week beginning in April as the video-game maker enters the final stages of development on its next game, the hotly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI. In an email to staff on Wednesday reviewed by Bloomberg, Rockstar Head of Publishing Jenn Kolbe said the decision was made for productivity and security reasons. The company has faced several security breaches including a massive dump of early footage from the new Grand Theft Auto and an early trailer that leaked in December. Kolbe wrote that the company also found “tangible benefits” from…

When an opportunity comes along in life, sometimes you just throw caution to the wind and go for it. That’s what Chris Paul should have done when he was approached about becoming part of the Heatles in Miami, alongside LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. It never came to pass, though, and all because Paul and Wade couldn’t come to an agreement on who would wear jersey No. 3. A bold move to a different banana-colored bench than we anticipated | Keep it a Buck(et) So, CP3 could have had a ring or two and the entire narrative around his…
Brightline may be poised to announce its newest stop in Florida — and word could come as soon as Monday. Local leaders in Stuart, Florida, this week have signaled that the rail operator may be preparing to reveal the city as the location for its seventh station. It would give riders a stop that falls between Brightline’s stations in West Palm Beach and Orlando International Airport (MCO), along the path of the 170-mile extension that the company opened last September. “I really believe it’s going to happen,” Joe Catrambone, president and CEO of the Stuart/Martin County Chamber of Commerce, told…
Six children have died from dehydration and malnutrition at hospitals in northern Gaza, the Health Ministry in the besieged Palestinian territory has said, as the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the besieged enclave worsens. Two children died at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, the ministry said on Wednesday. Earlier it reported that four children died at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, while seven others remained in critical condition. “We ask international agencies to intervene immediately to avert a humanitarian catastrophe in northern Gaza,” Health Ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qudra said in a statement, as Israel’s attacks on Gaza continue. “The…
Opinion Gage Skidmore/Creative Commons Many Republicans have had a problem with Mitch McConnell leading the Senate GOP for a very long time, particularly for undermining conservatives’ agenda. But come November, it appears he will no longer be a problem. He’s stepping down. McConnell needs to step down now. He’s not morally fit or mentally fit for the job. On top of hating his own voters, he clearly doesn’t have the mental capacity for the job, as his insane amnesty gambit for Biden proved. If he truly cared about the country, he’d retire today. https://t.co/68jUlgvEk3 — Sean Davis (@seanmdav) February…
The veteran Silicon Valley journalist Kara Swisher has a new memoir out. But if you’re buying it on Amazon don’t be misled into buying AI-generated garbage. According to 404 Media, ripoffs of Kara Swisher’s new book Burn Book: A Tech Love Story, have proliferated on Amazon. A quick search for “Kara Swisher burn book” on shows the actual book as the first result. But what follows are pages of (unauthorized, we’re assuming) biographies about the life and times of the tech journalist, capitalizing on the book’s anticipated release. That author name sounds really fake. Credit: Amazon This isn’t…
At long last, Tesla’s next generation Roadster is going to become a reality—definitely. Maybe. There’s at least an offhand chance. The successor to the car that started it all has completed final engineering, and if you believe Elon Musk, its “least interesting” feature is a 0-60 time clocking in below a second. A street-legal two seater twice as slow would still rank among the fastest on the planet, and even Formula 1 race cars with professionally licensed drivers behind the wheel can’t hit that kind of acceleration. The aerodynamic downforce needed to firmly plant the Roadster’s wheels on the road…
“That said, I believe more strongly than ever that America’s global leadership is essential to preserving the shining city on a hill that Ronald Reagan discussed,” he added, referring to the Republican president who proactively fostered US alliances at the end of the Cold War.

Cape Town, South Africa – Three months to South Africa’s much-anticipated general elections, the political landscape is being remade. Since Cyril Ramaphosa became president in 2018, domestic issues like corruption within the government, rolling power cuts, and a wobbling economy have been hotly debated but Israel’s war in faraway Gaza has become a key election issue in recent months. Since the apartheid era, the topic of Palestine has been a major point of division in South African politics as the white government stood firmly with Israel while the anti-apartheid movement saw Palestinian resistance aligned with its own. But Israel’s…
Opinion Dr. Phil McGraw triggered Whoopi Goldberg and her fellow liberal co-hosts on “The View” on Monday when he dared to blast COVID-19 pandemic school closures, exposing just how damaging they really were to children. McGraw Sounds Off When “The View” co-host Sara Haines asked McGraw about a statement he made in his new book “We’ve Got Issues: How You Can Stand Strong for America’s Soul and Sanity” regarding the pressures of social media on children, he took the opportunity to use this question to attack the pandemic school closures. “In, like, ’08, ’09, smartphones came on, and kids…
