‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 Volume 1

0


Matt’s Rating:

What To Know

  • Netflix is releasing the final season of Stranger Things in three parts over the holiday season, starting with four episodes on Thanksgiving Eve.
  • The new episodes focus on the heroes of Hawkins battling the supernatural villain Vecna, with the town under military occupation and Eleven hiding from authorities while honing her powers.
  • Will Byers’ personal journey and psychic connection to Vecna play a central role, adding emotional depth as the group risks everything to end the threat from the Upside Down.

Before the feast, the gorge.

Such is Netflix’s diabolical strategy to deliver the first four episodes of the final season of its monster hit Stranger Things — after a three-year hiatus! — on the night before Thanksgiving. (The next batch arrives on Christmas night, with the series finale arriving on the night of New Year’s Eve.)

These long-awaited episodes feel like events, to be sure, though not exactly family viewing. Unless you’re the Addams Family maybe, who might get their jollies watching terrifying monsters from the underworld invade suburban homes to snatch children for the most nefarious purposes.

Any review of the final season at this point would by nature be incomplete — not just because of the streamer’s laundry list of spoilers, but because there’s still much more to come in what everyone is referring to as The Final Battle between the heroes of 1980s Hawkins, Indiana, and the malevolent supernatural fiend Vecna from the Upside Down dimension, who’s accurately described as “a psychic serial killer.” As Nancy Wheeler (Natalia Dyer) warns after one particularly vicious setback, “He’s not gonna stop until we’re drained of every ounce of suffering.”

Happy holidays, everyone!

We’re not trying to be as flip about all of this as the snarky DJ Robin (the wonderfully droll Maya Hawke), who, when challenged whether she thinks all of this mayhem is funny, responds, “It must be my tone. My mother says I sound perpetually insincere.”

The tone set by the Duffer Brothers is never less than sincere, even when the plans concocted by these young warriors to save the town and thereby the world verge on the wacky to, as Dungeons & Dragons devotee Mike (Finn Wolfhard) describes it, “insane.” Part One of Stranger Things 5 is pretty much a thrill ride start to finish, with all of Hawkins under quarantine and military occupation following the earth-shaking events that concluded Season 4 all those years ago. The soldiers, taking orders from the sinister Dr. Kay — played by Linda Hamilton, the Terminator veteran, bringing those 1980s nostalgia vibes — are searching for the all-powerful Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), who’s honing her super psychic powers under the protective guidance of her adoptive dad, Jim Hopper (David Harbour).

Stranger Things Cast

Netflix

While Eleven and Hopper try to evade capture, they and their loyal if ever-bickering friends are on a mission to find and destroy Vecna in the Upside Down, whatever it takes. And for that, they’ll need to rely on their most vulnerable member: sensitive Will Byers (Noah Schnapp), whose abduction into the Upside Down in Season 1 was the inciting incident in the war with the underworld. “We don’t have time for safe,” says Will, whose personal journey of self-acceptance adds a poignant undercurrent to his determination to step up and face the monster inside his mind, regardless of risk and the entreaties of his worried mother, Joyce (the great and goofy Winona Ryder). A shout-out here to the mothers of Hawkins, whose over-my-dead-body attitude toward the monsters endangering their children is something to behold.

Young Will describes his psychic connection to Vecna as being “like this scary movie you just can’t turn off.” If Netflix has its way, you won’t be able to throughout this holiday season.

Microsoft loses two senior AI infrastructure leaders as data center pressures mount – Computerworld

0



Even so, Microsoft has the depth and ecosystem strength to continue doubling down on AI data centers, said Prabhu Ram, VP for industry research at Cybermedia Research.

According to Sanchit Vir Gogia, chief analyst at Greyhound Research, the departures come at a sensitive moment because Microsoft is trying to expand its AI infrastructure faster than physical constraints allow.

“The executives who have left were central to GPU cluster design, data center engineering, energy procurement, and the experimental power and cooling approaches Microsoft has been pursuing to support dense AI workloads,” Gogia said. “Their exit coincides with pressures the company has already acknowledged publicly. GPUs are arriving faster than the company can energize the facilities that will house them, and power availability has overtaken chip availability as the real bottleneck.”

Sony teases the A7 V, its next flagship midrange camera

0


Sony appears to be ready to announce another addition to its Alpha camera lineup. The company shared an image on the Sony Alpha Instagram account with the text “Chase your dream” and the date December 2 at 9AM EST, which could be a teaser for its next mirrorless camera.

It’s possible the company has something else in mind, but the giant “V” or Roman numeral five in the background of the image seems like a clear reference to an unannounced Sony A7 V, a follow-up to the Sony Alpha 7 IV. Considering there was around a four year gap between the release of the A7 III and A7 IV, releasing the new camera in 2026 would make the timing lineup, too.

Rumors suggest the A7 V could feature a new 33MP “partially stacked sensor” designed by Sony, along with the ability to capture 4K / 60 fps video. The company is also rumored to be announcing at least two new lenses to go with the new camera. Since the Alpha 7 IV started at $2,500, it seems safe to expect that these upgrades could cost even more when the camera is officially announced in December.

Chrissy Teigen Shares A Glimpse Of Family Life With Dancing Kids And Tiny Turkeys

0


Instagram/@chrissyteigen

Chrissy Teigen without any reservations expressed her family life through posting lots of photos and short videos that featured everything from a determined claw machine session to a spontaneous dance party with her children. The post of the model and author of the cookbook highlighted amusing and awkward moments, and at the same time, the public could identify their lives and started sending their kind and relatable replies.

Teigen’s storytelling made everything sound relaxed and even funny with the joke of the Lucky Strike claw machine that ‘never wanted to see me, then sees I’m ready to pay a fortune for a pittance and finally is like ok.’ This clever admission of a parent’s ‘forbidden’ by the prize was just the start of the wonderful lift of the day. The day-by-day visuals included the preparation of delicate egg on rice which had already been crowned as the king of comfort food, and John was there in the background too whose choice of clothing sparked some good-natured discussion.

But Teigen and Legend’s kids were undoubtedly the main stars in the fairy tale. Among twins Esti and Wren, a short video of them showcasing their excited and heavenly dancing acted like a huge attractor to the public. One comment perfectly summed up the whole scenario saying, ‘Your kids dancing = me and my coworkers entering Thanksgiving break on what’s been the longest semester ever. They sure have the cheerful moves!!!’ The kids’ utter and unrestricted exuberance was a common energizer.

Another user was more direct and just stated, ‘The dance party is everything! ♥️’ Another user also responded in the same way, saying, ‘OMG, the twins dancing is everything 😂🤣’ It was a moment of collective delight and a soft reminder of the joy kids can bring.

The family was having a blast while a big mystery appeared that entirely overshadowed everything else. The pictures had several tiny turkey-shaped figures that made the internet curious about what they were. The comments turned into a massive flow of people wanting to know the little turkeys. ‘Wait, what are those little turkeys? 🦃’ was one person’s inquiry. Another was more urgent and said, ‘What are the turkey cups made of?’ The wonder was so enormous that one user went as far as to say they were ‘turkey-shaped ice cream!!! 🦃🍦’ The small turkeys turned out to be an unexpected focus of interest and a signal that even the minutest aspects could stir the public’s imagination.

Food, i.e. Teigen’s primary content, was a major talking point. Her appetizing fried egg on rice photo sparked the wave of mutual support in the culinary field. One comment read ‘Fried eggs over sticky rice is the best comfort food! Oh and save the crispy rice edges for me💜’ and pointed to the very specific textures that make the dish extremely popular. Another said, ‘OMG growing up in Hawaii I was raised on fried egg on rice with shoyu and pepper. It’s my fave comfort breakfast of all time!!!’ This bonding through a simple dish highlighted the shared experiences that food can create.

Teigen’s post did not only get a mostly positive response but also one critical voice that stood out by challenging a parenting decision that was evident in one of the pictures. The community’s reaction was instant and emphatic, it was characterized by a concise and sharp retort: ‘Go away.’ This was a decisive indication of the nice and friendly environment created by her followers.

Chrissy Teigen’s post was more than just a simple update, it was a vivid and engaging portrait of modern family life. The total experience from the humorous if not sad at times struggle at a claw machine to the infectious joy of the dancing kids and the communal wonder over tiny turkey novelties was very real and heartwarming for her audience. Teigen’s sharing was a charming reminder of the lovely, chaotic, and totally delightful reality of parenting in the public eye. This reminds many of D’Angelo‘s earlier statements.

Swalwell suit alleges abuse of power in Trump official’s mortgage probes

0


In a fiery rebuttal to allegations he’d criminally misrepresented facts in his mortgage documents, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Dublin) sued Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte on Tuesday — accusing him of criminally misusing government databases to baselessly target President Trump’s political opponents.

“Pulte has abused his position by scouring databases at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — two government-sponsored enterprises — for the private mortgage records of several prominent Democrats,” attorneys for Swalwell wrote in a federal lawsuit filed in Washington, D.C. “He then used those records to concoct fanciful allegations of mortgage fraud, which he referred to the Department of Justice for prosecution.”

They said Pulte launched his attack on Swalwell at a particularly inopportune time, just as Swalwell was launching his campaign for California governor.

Pulte’s attack, Swalwell’s attorneys wrote, “was not only a gross mischaracterization of reality” but “a gross abuse of power that violated the law,” infringing on Swalwell’s free speech rights to criticize the president without fear of reprisal, and violating the Privacy Act of 1974, which they said bars federal officials from “leveraging their access to citizens’ private information as a tool for harming their political opponents.”

Pulte, the FHFA and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment Wednesday.

Pulte has previously defended his work probing mortgage documents of prominent Democrats, saying no one is above the law. His referrals have exclusively targeted Democrats, despite reporting on Republicans taking similar actions on their mortgages.

Swalwell’s lawsuit is the latest counterpunch to Pulte’s campaign, and part of mounting scrutiny over its unprecedented nature and unorthodox methods — not just from targets of his probes but from other investigators, too, according to one witness.

In addition to Swalwell, Pulte has referred mortgage fraud allegations to the Justice Department against Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), New York Atty. Gen. Letitia James and Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, who have all denied wrongdoing and suggested the allegations amount to little more than political retribution.

James was criminally charged by an inexperienced, loyalist federal prosecutor specially appointed by Trump in Virginia, though a judge has since thrown out that case on the grounds that the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, was illegally appointed. The judge also threw out a case against former FBI Director James Comey, another Trump opponent.

Cook’s attorneys slammed Pulte in a letter to the Justice Department, writing that his “decision to use the FHFA to selectively — and publicly — investigate and target the President’s designated political enemies gives rise to the unmistakable impression that he has been improperly coordinating with the White House to manufacture flimsy predicates to launch these probes.”

Schiff also has lambasted Trump and Pulte for their targeting of him and other Democrats, and cheered the tossing of the cases against James and Comey, calling it “a triumph of the rule of law.”

In recent days, federal prosecutors in Maryland — where Schiff’s case is being investigated — have also started asking questions about the actions of Pulte and other Trump officials, according to Christine Bish, a Sacramento-area real estate agent and Republican congressional candidate who was summoned to Maryland to answer questions in the matter last week.

Pulte has alleged that Schiff broke the law by claiming primary residence for mortgages in both Maryland and California. Schiff has said he never broke any law and was always forthcoming with his mortgage lenders.

Bish has been investigating Schiff’s mortgage records since 2020, and had repeatedly submitted documents about Schiff to the federal government — first to the Office of Congressional Ethics, then earlier this year to an FHFA tip line and to the FBI, she told The Times.

When Trump subsequently posted one of Schiff’s mortgage documents to his Truth Social platform, Bish said she believed it was one she had submitted to the FHFA and FBI, because it was highlighted exactly as she had highlighted it. Then, she saw she had missed a call from Pulte, and was later asked by Pulte’s staff to email Pulte “the full file” she had worked up on Schiff.

“They wanted to make sure that I had sent the whole file,” Bish said.

Bish said she was subsequently interviewed via Google Meet on Oct. 22 by someone from the FHFA inspector general’s office and an FBI agent. She then got a subpoena in the mail that she interpreted as requiring her to be in Maryland last week. There, she was interviewed again, for about an hour, by the same official from the inspector general’s office and another FBI agent, she said — and was surprised their questions seemed more focused on her communications with people in the federal government than on Schiff.

“They wanted to know if I had been talking to anybody else,” she said. “You know, what did I communicate? Who did I communicate with?”

Schiff’s office declined to comment. However, Schiff’s attorney has previously told Justice Department officials that there was “ample basis” for them to launch an investigation into Pulte and his campaign targeting Trump’s opponents, calling it a “highly irregular” and “sordid” effort.

The acting FHFA inspector general at the time Bish was first contacted, Joe Allen, has since been fired, which has also raised questions.

On Nov. 19, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Long Beach) — the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee — wrote a letter to Pulte denouncing his probes as politically motivated, questioning Allen’s dismissal and demanding documentation from Pulte, including any communications he has had with the White House.

Swalwell’s attorneys wrote in Tuesday’s lawsuit that he never claimed primary residence in both California and Washington, D.C., as alleged, and had not broken any laws.

They accused Pulte of orchestrating a coordinated effort to spread the allegations against Swalwell via a vast network of conservative influencers, which they said had “harmed [Swalwell’s] reputation at a critical juncture in his career: the very moment when he had planned to announce his campaign for Governor of California.”

They said the “widespread publication of information about the home where his wife and young children reside” had also “exposed him to heightened security risks and caused him significant anguish and distress.”

Swalwell said in a statement that Pulte has “combed through private records of political opponents” to “silence them,” which shouldn’t be allowed.

“There’s a reason the First Amendment — the freedom of speech — comes before all others,” he said.

With its 5.7% dividend yield, here’s what I like about Aviva

0


Like many investors, I appreciate the long-term passive income prospects of a high-yield share. Take insurer Aviva (LSE: AV) as an example. The current Aviva dividend yield of 5.7% is already significantly higher than the FTSE 100 average.

Not only that, but the company aims to grow its payout per share each year. While delivering such a goal can never be guaranteed, the company has managed to do so in recent years.

Then again, it has also cut its dividend before now, including as recently as five years ago.

No business is without risk after all. Taken on balance, though, I see Aviva as a high-yield dividend share investors should consider.

Strong position in a massive, proven market

The first reason I like Aviva as a business is what it does.

Insurance is a market most people understand at least to some extent from personal experience. The business model has been proven for centuries already.

Is it going away any time soon? I do not think so. People want or need to insure their homes, business premises, and possessions.

That attracts a lot of companies who wish to profit from the opportunity. Aviva has what I see as a massive advantage: it has built itself to a position where it is Britain’s biggest insurer.

That gives it economies of scale. This year’s acquisition of rival Direct Line has helped strengthen Aviva’s position in its home market even further.

Such a strong position can help Aviva’s cash generation potential, hopefully enabling it to grow its dividend further.

But size can bring challenges too. If one of Aviva’s smaller rivals tries to build market share by competing aggressively on price, that could threaten Aviva with the choice of reducing profitability or seeing some of its customers switch to a competitor.

High-yield potential

The dividend story at the FTSE 100 company looks attractive to me. But is there more to Aviva than just the dividend?

Over the past five years, the company’s share price has more than doubled, growing 104%.

That is an excellent performance, even before taking into the account the income streams the dividend has provided for Aviva investors along the way.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of what to expect in future, though.

This month, Aviva’s share price hit a level last seen in 2007. Seen positively, that suggests that what I see as the positive investment case for the insurer is also appreciated by the wider market.

But it does raise the question of valuation. Is Aviva potentially now overvalued, with its market capitalization just shy of £20bn?

It is a possibility. If there is a significant financial downturn, that could make Aviva’s investment returns weaker, hurting its profitability.

But I actually think Aviva’s current valuation remains attractive. It is huge, proven, and has strong brands that can help it attract and retain customers cost-effectively.

'Nigeria needs structural reforms that will offer an alternative to organised criminal networks'

0

As Nigeria’s evolving security crisis pivots from ideological terrorism to organised crime, Mark Owen welcomes Dr Douglas Yates, Author, Political Scientist and Professor specialising in Africa at the American Graduate School of International Relations and Diplomacy (AGSIRD) and CY Cergy Paris Université. The new criminal activity threatening the very security of Nigeria and its people signal a deeper breakdown in social and economic structures. As organised groups like Boko Haram fade, new threats emerge: decentralised bandits driven by poverty, climate stress, and lack of opportunity. Dr. Yates warns that without long-term development and regional integration, policing alone will never solve the crisis.

AMD explained as Judi Dench ‘can’t leave house alone’ because of it

0


Dame Judi Dench has sadly revealed she has lost her independence and can’t leave the house alone due to suffering with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

The James Bond actress revealed back in 2012 she suffers from AMD, which can affect your eyesight. Now, at 90 years old, the York-born star has shared an update on her health diagnosis and how it has impacted her day-to-day life as well as her acting career.

Due to the fact that her eye sight severely deteriorating with age, Judi Dench has revealed she can’t go out without a chaperone.

Talking at the Theatre Royal in Bury St Edmunds, where she acts as a patron, she said: “I can’t see any more. When I go to the theatre, I can’t see. Hopeless.”

The star, who was given an Oscar for her role in Shakespeare in Love, has previously talked about how the eye condition had been changing the way she lives, including not being able to watch TV anymore. Back in January 2025 she spoke on Trinny Woodall’s Fearless podcast and admitted she had to have help every time she leaves the house.

However, although she’s lives with AMD for more than a decade now, Judi remains committed to working and catching up on the latest TV gossip.

She says that although she can’t see much she just “deals with it” when it comes to being on set and reading scripts.

What is AMD?

According to the NHS, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common condition that affects the middle part of your vision. It usually first affects people in their fifties.

It doesn’t cause total blindness, but it can make things like reading and recognising faces difficult.

The NHS states that without treatment, vision may get worse. This can happen gradually over several years, before it can then get worse quickly over a few weeks or months.

The exact cause of the condition is unknown, however it has been linked to things such as ageing, smoking, high blood pressure, being overweight and having a family history of AMD.

Symptoms of AMD

AMD affects the middle part of your vision, not the edges (peripheral vision), according to the NHS. You can can get it in one eye or both.

The first symptom is usually blurred or a distorted area in the centre of your vision. If it gets worse, you may struggle to see anything in the middle of your vision.

AMD can mean things like reading, watching TV, driving or recognising faces become difficult.

Other symptoms include:

  • Seeing straight lines as wavy or crooked
  • Being sensitive to bright light
  • Seeing flickering or flashing lights
  • Seeing things that are not there (hallucinations)

AMD isn’t painful and does not affect the appearance of your eyes.

Sometimes AMD is found during a routine eye test before any symptoms start showing. Experts advise to see an optician if you’re worried about your vision.

Early diagnosis and treatment may help stop your vision getting worse if you have a problem with your eyes.

It’s advised to get an urgent opticians appointment or get help from NHS 111 if:

  • Your vision gets suddenly worse
  • You have a dark “curtain” or shadow moving across your vision
  • Your eye is red and painful

These symptoms can be signs of other eye problems that need to be treated straight away.

You can call 111 or get help from 111 online.

What can you do to protect yourself from AMD?

Dr. Sarah Blackwelder, an optometrist based in the US, has taken to her TikTok account to share advice on what people can do to protect themselves from AMD.

She said in a video: “First and arguably the most important is to stop smoking. If you are or were a cigarette or tobacco smoker, that is highly linked to developing AMD. We definitely want you to quit.”

The expert then added: “Several studies have found that there is a link between AMD and an excess UV exposure, so anytime you’re outside, UV protective eyewear is a must.”

Cardiovascular disease is also linked to AMD, so Dr Blackwelder said preventing things like diabetes and high blood pressure as well as controlling them if you do have them is “really important”.

Next, she suggested making dietary changes, such as adding Omega-3s and consuming lots of green, leafy vegetables likes spinach and kale.

She said: “Those contain carotenoids that are really important for macular health.”

Lastly, the expert said regular eye examinations are key, because the sooner AMD can be spotted, the better.

The Hunt Premiere Canceled By Apple TV Amid Plagiarism Controversy

0






Apple TV isn’t going on “The Hunt” anytime soon. The new French thriller, which was set to premiere on Wednesday, Dec. 3, is now being pushed by the streamer following allegations of plagiarism.

“The broadcast of our series ‘The Hunt’ has been temporarily postponed,” production company Gaumont said in a statement. We are currently conducting a thorough review to address any questions related to our production. We take intellectual property matters very seriously.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter (via French journalist Clement Garin), “The Hunt” is essentially an uncredited adaptation of “Shoot,” a novel written by Douglas Fairbairn in 1973, which had already been adapted into a film in 1976.

A future release date for the series is obviously pending. “The Hunt” was originally slated for a double-episode premiere on Dec. 3, followed by individual weekly episodes through its Dec. 31 finale.

Created by Cédric Anger, “The Hunt” stars Benoît Magimel Mélanie Laurent, Damien Bonnard, Manuel Guillot, Cédric Appietto, Frédéric Maranber, Angelyna Danabe-Mignot, Paul Beaurepaire, Yann Goven, Sarah Pachoud, and Patrick De Vallette.

The decision to postpone the premiere of “The Hunt” comes just a few months after Apple TV postponed another one of its projects, the Jessica Chastain-fronted drama “The Savant,” amid concerns over releasing the series — about infiltrating online hate groups and stopping domestic terrorists — in such a charged political climate. Chastain expressed her disapproval with Apple’s move, confirming that she and the streamer were “not aligned on the decision to pause the release.”
