As the 2024 election race reaches critical stages, renowned political strategist David Axelrod sheds light on the various "wild card" factors, or "imponderables," that could ultimately decide the outcome. With polling data revealing narrow margins in key battleground states, the contest between major candidates remains unpredictable, and the issues most critical to voters continue to evolve. Battleground States on the Edge Axelrod's analysis, based on recent polling, highlights Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan as pivotal states where candidates are running neck-and-neck. In these swing states, voters' preferences remain difficult to predict due to the influence of shifting public sentiment around core issues. The economy is a major talking point, with both campaigns competing to appeal to voters concerned with inflation, job security, and economic stability. According to Axelrod, these economic anxieties have turned the political tide multiple times, wi

Shares of online advertising companies soared on Wednesday, buoyed by robust earnings from Google-parent Alphabet, Reddit, and Snap, signaling strong brand spending as the critical holiday season approaches. The combined market capitalizations of these three firms are expected to increase by approximately $140 billion. In premarket trading, Alphabet (GOOGL) rose by 6%, Reddit (RDDT) surged by 20%, and Snap (SNAP) climbed 10.6%. These positive earnings also bode well for other ad-dependent companies, including Meta Platforms (META), Amazon (AMZN), and Pinterest (PINS), which saw their shares rise between 1.9% and 2.5%. Gil Luria, head of technology research at D.A. Davidson, noted, "The concurrent strength in results seems to indicate a robust U.S. economy, bolstered by U.S. election spending. This is promising not only for the upcoming holiday season but also for digital advertisers like Meta and Pinterest." Alphabet’s impressive quarter was partly driven by an AI-fueled surg

Eli Lilly (LLY) shares took a hit, falling as much as 10% in premarket trading Wednesday after third-quarter earnings missed Wall Street’s revenue expectations. The pharmaceutical giant also revised its annual profit outlook downward, adjusting the high end of its revenue guidance. Eli Lilly reported $11.4 billion in revenue for Q3, which, while marking a 20% year-over-year increase, fell short of analysts’ projections of $12.17 billion. Profit was also below expectations, landing at $970.3 billion. The company's weight-loss medication Zepbound and diabetes treatment Mounjaro continued to perform well, keeping the GLP-1 drug portfolio at the core of Lilly’s revenue story. However, Zepbound’s revenue was slightly underwhelming, reaching nearly $1.3 billion compared to the anticipated $1.7 billion. Eli Lilly explained that U.S. sales of both drugs were "negatively impacted by inventory decreases in the wholesaler channel." Meanwhile, Mizuho’s healthcare expert Jared Holz ha

Peter Berg didn’t rely on lengthy descriptions when envisioning American Primeval . Instead of a script or storyboard, he presented writer Mark L. Smith—renowned for The Revenant —with a single item: a Stiletto ice axe. “Can we make this into a show?” Berg asked, letting the prop speak for itself. Smith, intrigued, readily agreed. Reflecting on their creative vision, Berg says, “We wanted to create a series that truly embraced the elements.” That vision led them to an intense, 145-day shoot in New Mexico’s remote mountains. “We filmed at high altitudes, battling harsh weather, alongside real wolves, bears, and snakes,” Berg recalls. “A lot of productions would use green screens or indoor sets, but we were all committed to avoiding that. It meant waking up at four in the morning, driving over an hour from Santa Fe to different locations—sometimes on Native reservations—and setting up in the pitch-dark, freezing conditions.” The rigorous shoot required cast members to be prepared both ph

Columbia Pictures Industries “I think everybody is scared when they hear something like that,” Garr recalled of first learning about her diagnosis after seeing 11 doctors and experiencing years of unexplainable symptoms. “There’s just not a lot of information out there, and people don’t realize it’s not the end. I’m still living my life.” The daughter of a Broadway performer and a Rockette, Garr grew up studying dance and began auditioning right after high school in Los Angeles. She started with s
