By Robert Scucci | Published 35 seconds ago When it comes to movies, there are two things I love more than anything else: thrillers and short runtimes. While scrolling through Netflix for a quick late-night watch, I stumbled upon 2017’s Wheelman, which checks off both of those boxes. Some movies just don’t have a lot of story to them, but instead give you a quick glimpse into a day in the life of their characters.  In Wheelman’s case, it’s about a getaway driver who finds himself in an increasingly sticky situation after the bank robbery he helps facilitate, almost as…

You know how you aren’t supposed to talk about a no-hitter while it’s going on? That’s kind of how it feels to talk about a starting pitcher who is both pitching well and is currently healthy. We’ve had so many pitchers go down with injuries (including a couple more big names on Wednesday, of course) or supposed aces struggling this season that it feels risky to even mention when a pitcher is thriving. But I’m going to do it.

Nancy Lipps and her son John Lipps, in Dinuba, are one of more than 200,000 households in California signed up for a statewide program that pays them to help the grid when it’s very hot outside and electricity is at peak demand. They have a battery hooked up to their solar panels, and they share power from it in times of need. It was an easy choice. “It gives back to our neighbors and helps make sure the grid is sustainable,” said John, 52, who works in the lawn care business launched by his parents. It also provides the Lipps…

Naoya Inoue recently cemented his status as one of, if not the, best pound-for-pound fighters in the world with a win over countryman Junto Nakatani.

The Japanese phenomenon defended his four super-bantamweight belts for the seventh time against Nakatani at a sold-out Tokyo Dome, preserving his undefeated record in what many deemed to be the toughest test of his career so far. With retirement not too far in the distance, the two-division undisputed champion intends to tackle one more weight class before he calls time on a…

If you’ve ever swallowed an aspirin, put milk in your coffee, fed your pet, or filled a prescription, then you’ve relied on the lifesaving oversight of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Long viewed as the world’s gold standard in regulating food and medicine, the FDA is a behemoth that oversees products comprising roughly one quarter of the U.S. economy.   Even on the best of days, the FDA commissioner — a Senate-confirmed position — must wander a pitiless wilderness of excruciating judgement calls, whether the record-speed approval of Covid-19 vaccines or the minefield of mail-order birth control pills, all while…
