Groups on social and messaging platforms were created to round up people of similar backgrounds, situations, ways of life, and even thinking....

And remember, to get that whole-home setup, you’ll have to buy at least two speakers.

Before I get into the technology, it’s worth noting the size and scope of the environment. The stadium is in Inglewood on the site of the former Hollywood Park racetrack. SoFi is the first “indoor-outdoor” stadium in the NFL at 3.1 million square feet. The indoor-outdoor aspect is interesting because it’s an outdoor stadium with a cover-over top, which is detached and acts as a sun umbrella. Seating capacity is 70,000 for NFL games but is expandable to 100,000 for other events if needed....

When DC announced that Barry Allen’s first year as a superhero would finally be told in The Flash: Year One, the tribute to Frank Miller’s Batman origin of the same name was obvious. What fans didn’t know was that The Flash’s origin would also re-tell Miller’s greatest Batman story–The Dark Knight Returns–at the exact same time. That might seem impossible for comic fans who know both of Miller’s stories. The first following Bruce as his struggling Batman mission begins to take shape, the second as Gotham City falls apart without him, forcing him to come out of retirement to pull it back from the brink....

One question it didn’t answer, however, was: how much will Apple TV+ cost?

Here’s how Saving Hope ended on a memorable note with its emotional season 5 finale, “Hope Never Dies.” Canadian series Saving Hope was a medical drama with a difference.

This morning, the store opened with delivery estimates of December 30th with some variants quoting a January timeframe.
