“The Incredibles 2” and its predecessor “The Incredibles” take place in a world pretty much like ours, with the key difference being for a while at least, superheroes were as common as they are in comic books. And the similarities to our world have long made fans wonder when, exactly, all this is taking place. The bad news is that both movies are pretty vague about that question. The good news is that they still have a lot of hints and clues that seem to suggest a specific, highly retro time frame. Читать дальше...

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa state officials say they won't challenge Polk County's spending of nearly $845,000 in public money to help parochial schools. The Des Moines Register reports that Iowa State Auditor Mary Mosiman's office won't review the matter. The office's attorney, Bernardo Granwehr, says that the legality of spending public money on private schools could be questioned, but because Polk County Attorney John Sarcone declared the practice legal, the auditor's office has no grounds to review it.

I was an early adopter of Amazon's Alexa, and it has insinuated itself into my household very quickly. It's our go-to for morning headlines from NPR, weekend music (playing on Sonos), questions about the weather in places we'll soon visit, kitchen timers, TV sports schedules and general fact checking. I'd say it's now become indispensable, which is just the way Amazon likes it, I am sure.What's interesting is that I'm so used to having it around the house, that I miss it when I'm on the road. At a hotel in the morning... Читать дальше...

MEXICO CITY — On the campaign trail, presidential front-runner Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has railed against a corrupt and “rapacious minority” of business executives who oppose him because they know they will have to “stop stealing” if he wins the July 1 election. Executives have fired back with newspaper ads charging the leftist politician, who is making his third run for the presidency, is a populist demagogue who would set Mexico back decades by returning it to a time of heavy-handed state intervention.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans are escalating their monthslong standoff with the Justice Department, saying the FBI hasn't adequately addressed bias within the agency and threatening to hold top department officials in contempt — or even impeach them. The stepped-up criticism comes after the department's internal watchdog released a report last week that criticized the FBI's handling of the 2016 probe into Hillary Clinton's emails but said political bias didn't affect the outcome of the investigation that eventually cleared her.

SEOUL — U.S. and South Korean defense officials formally suspended a major joint military exercise in hopes of advancing nuclear negotiations with North Korea. It’s a bold gamble that could trigger a serious security crisis if the talks falter and the allies are forced to resume the drills, infuriating North Korea, analysts say. The cancellation, abruptly decided by President Trump at his summit last week with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, was formally announced by the Pentagon on Monday. Читать дальше...
