D’Angelo carpools over carpets, Linux 6.18 calms hardware, and Trump backs Hegseth amid drug-boat second-strike claim
Beverly D'Angelo picks carpool over red carpet, calls it a win
Beverly D'Angelo, 73, says becoming a mother at 49 reset her priorities, and she would still trade a longer résumé for school pickups. She and then-partner Al Pacino welcomed twins via IVF in 2001, and she kept them far from Hollywood while discovering, via their classmates, that Christmas Vacation had quietly become a cultural staple. The generational gap with other parents was real, but the co-parenting with Pacino evolved into a candid friendship that continues even as his family has grown. In a town where ambition ages like milk, she chose PTA over premieres and seems perfectly content with the smaller IMDb page.
Linux 6.18 lands, your hardware sighs in relief
Linus Torvalds has shipped Linux 6.18 with broader hardware support, smarter filesystems, and networking tweaks. Highlights include Bcachefs getting removed, a Rust Binder driver joining the party, and a new dm-pcache target to use persistent memory as cache for slower block devices. There is a new microcode= boot option for x86, file-handle support now reaches kernel namespaces, and Btrfs gets initial support for block sizes larger than page size. Virtualization picks up LoongArch KVM PTW feature detection, and Linux can now run as a guest on FreeBSD's bhyve, because even operating systems end up with awkward roommates.
Trump backs Hegseth amid allegation of a second strike on drug boat
Aboard Air Force One, President Donald Trump said he 100 percent believes Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's denial that he ordered a follow-up lethal strike on a Venezuelan narcotics vessel after two survivors remained. Multiple reports allege a Sept. 2 mission launched a second attack that killed two wounded men, with a commander citing an order that everyone must be killed. Hegseth called the coverage fabricated and defended the maritime campaign as lethal, kinetic strikes targeting narco-terrorists tied to designated groups. Trump praised the broader operations and claimed each boat is responsible for killing 25,000 Americans. The incident is under review. Conflicting accounts, high stakes, and sweeping casualty claims demand a transparent investigation, not slogans.
