Washington Wizards apologize for April Fools’ joke

The Wizards issued an apology after an April Fools’ social post “missed the mark” and got dragged online, proving once again that the internet does not accept “just kidding” as a legal defense.

How to cut energy bills by choosing a third-party supplier

With energy prices climbing, customers may be able to lower the supply portion of their electricity or natural gas bill by shopping for third-party suppliers, while utilities like PECO still handle distribution. Potential savings were cited as up to 30%, which is basically the modern equivalent of finding money in your winter coat, except it is hidden behind fine print.

Trump says U.S.-Israel campaign against Iran could end in weeks

Donald Trump said the U.S.-Israel campaign against Iran could wrap up in two to three weeks, and suggested the U.S. could leave the region even without a formal deal if Iran is prevented from building a nuclear weapon. The argument presented emphasizes outcomes over timelines, degrading enrichment and missile capacity, disrupting command networks, and preventing rapid reconstitution amid shifting regional alignments under the Abraham Accords.

Iran says key Tehran to Karaj bridge hit, Trump confirms U.S. strike

Iranian state media reported airstrikes hit the B1 bridge in Alborz province in two waves about an hour apart, leaving a breach and at least two civilian casualties. Iran blamed the U.S. and Israel, Trump publicly confirmed a U.S. attack and warned more strikes could follow without a peace deal, and Iran threatened retaliation against regional infrastructure, including bridges in Israel.

Ryan Gosling exits Daniels’ untitled Universal event film

Ryan Gosling is no longer attached to the Daniels’ untitled event film at Universal, after his casting was reported shortly after “Project Hail Mary” opened strong. Hollywood development news remains the purest form of quantum mechanics, a project both exists and does not exist until opening weekend.

Artemis II crew says early mission days are busy, trajectory set for the Moon

A NASA astronaut described the Artemis II launch as “an amazing ride” as the crew pushed through a packed first few days. NASA said a key engine firing was approved and the spacecraft is now on course toward the Moon, a refreshing reminder that some institutions still do hard things on purpose.

UK rejects Iranian plan to charge ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz

Britain said it will “comprehensively reject” any Iranian move to impose multimillion-dollar charges on vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz, which carries about 20% of the world’s oil. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper convened more than 40 countries calling for reopening the strait and respecting freedom of navigation, while Iran floated advance coordination requirements and continued oversight that could generate huge revenues.

U.S. Air Force F-47 concept, less lone wolf, more drone quarterback

The Air Force’s F-47 Next Generation Air Dominance fighter is being framed as a command hub coordinating autonomous Collaborative Combat Aircraft, rather than a standalone stealth jet. The concept hinges on resilient, hard-to-jam networking, sensor fusion, and AI-assisted decision tools, paired with longer-range “attritable” drones to extend reach, reduce tanker dependence, and distribute risk in contested airspace.

Philadelphia’s Easter Promenade returns to South Street

The 93rd Annual Easter Promenade returns Sunday to Philadelphia’s South Street Headhouse District, promising the Easter Bunny, candy, family activities, and crowds in their Sunday best, a civic tradition proving that pageantry survives everything, including common sense and weather forecasts.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asks Army chief of staff to step down

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth asked the Army chief of staff to retire immediately after two years in the role. Another day in the capital, where “civilian control” sometimes looks indistinguishable from “management by surprise announcement.”
