From 1876 to 1911, Mexico was ruled by José de la Cruz Porfirio Díaz Mori, either as president (1876–1880 and 1884–1911) or as a behind-the-scenes power broker. He remains one of the most controversial figures in Mexican history, to some an abusive dictator who ruled through authoritarian repression and whose financial policies only benefited a small elite. To others, these 35 years in which Diaz held power — known as the Porfiriato — brought industrialization and urbanization, and put Mexico on the road to becoming a modern nation. Both viewpoints have elements of truth. But this is not the story of Porfirio…

2026 has been a great year for theatrical movies, with films as varied as Project Hail Mary, The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Obsession breaking box-office records and receiving widespread critical acclaim. It’s been a good year for Netflix, too, as the streamer has released a steady stream of high-quality films that make it worth subscribing to – at least until the next price hike. Watch With Us loves making “best of” lists, and it’s around this time that we rank the best Netflix movies of 2026 so far. From January’s intense action flick The Rip with Matt Damon and…
South Africa have shown a tendency here for its midfielders to float high when they are on the ball and an enormous gap to open up between the midfield and back line. A turnover makes for easy transition moments for a team that loves to transition. Just saw a chance there for Canada out of it, though Liam Millar couldn’t punish South Africa. Should be plenty of opportunity for Canada if South Africa doesn’t better organize its shape in possession.
Mexican soccer has endured enough heartbreaking defeats, controversial refereeing decisions and penalty shootout misery to fill several lifetimes. Yet the most painful World Cup absence in the nation’s modern history didn’t come at the hands of a rival on the field. Mexico missed the 1990 World Cup because of something far more damaging: its own actions. Records falsified to make players appear younger than they actually were The episode in Mexican sports history is remembered simply as Los Cachirules, which, in Mexican sporting slang, refers to players who aren’t quite who they claim to be. It remains one of the…
Quick Read Medicare’s two-year lookback means your 2024 Roth conversions, RMDs, or property sales can unexpectedly spike your 2026 Part B and Part D bills.

The Wow! Signal, the U.K. neo-prog band’s latest, is a predictably heavy lift The 10th Muse album takes its name from the Wow! Signal, an unexplained radio transmission detected by a mind-blown astronomer in 1977 that’s been held up as a possible example of extraterrestrial communication. The amount of pomp and pump Muse can slam into one song can have a certain wow-factor; tracks like “Uprising” and “Supermassive Black Hole” made them leaders in fist-pumping arena rock. But as is often the case with this ostentatiously bombastic U.K. band, their music won’t blow your mind so much as beat it…
There’s a moment at the start of the annual Clive Davis pre-Grammy gala, typically held on the eve of the big show, when an invited guest realizes, you’re not so special. Sure, your name might be on the guest list for the seated dinner, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills for the past two decades, but your worth in the music industry is reduced to a little paper stub and a sharpie, marking your table number at the ultra-exclusive gathering. Anything in the double digits, you’re in the golden circle; the 100s means you’re very, very important;…
