General Hospital’s Kate Mansi will exit the daytime soap opera. In an interview with SoapSteph’s Daytime Dish, Mansi, 38, confirmed that her run as Kristina Corinthos-Davis came to an end last month when her last day of filming occurred. “I’ve made the very difficult decision to leave General Hospital,” Mansi told the outlet in an article published on Sunday, May 24. Mansi, who joined the long-running soap in 2023, added that new projects required her “full attention” as did the need to support her husband, Matt McInnis. “With my husband currently producing a series filming primarily abroad, I needed the…
Had things turned a little differently for Geoff Downes, the keyboardist would have gone down in history as merely the guy whose opening notes to the Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star” kickstarted MTV, and an entire new era of music history, when the cable network launched on Aug. 1, 1981. But that song was just step one on a journey that brought Downes into the prog-rock supergroup Asia in 1982, where he co-wrote the immortal classic “Heat of the Moment,” and into Yes, where he’s served as their keyboardist since 2011. (He was also also in Yes for several…
Thoughts and opinions about political leaders understandably stir up a lot of emotion, no matter where you live. Oftentimes, the opinions expressed are not very fact-based, and the arguments for or against a given politician tend to be quite superficial. I get it; political views tend to get shaped by experiences that directly affect one’s family, community or business — so they aren’t always formed out of logic. One of the most common questions I get from people is: “How do you think President Sheinbaum is doing?” I find that many people — especially people who do not live in…
The week of May 18 in Mexico began with the news that two former Sinaloa state officials — ex-Security Minister Gerardo Mérida Sánchez and ex-Finance Minister Enrique Díaz Vega — had turned themselves in to U.S. authorities. They are the first to face a federal drug trafficking indictment naming 10 current and former Sinaloa-linked officials, including Governor Rubén Rocha Moya, who remains on leave. At her Monday press conference, President Claudia Sheinbaum dismissed any “risk” from their U.S. depositions and rejected the notion that Washington could designate her Morena political party as a terrorist organization. By Friday, the week had…
For generations of Mexican-raised families, there’s a name that inevitably evokes the purest childlike joy and unfiltered excitement: Cri-Cri. A fictional cricket musician and beloved icon — who is widely believed in Mexico to have inspired the creation of Disney’s Jiminy Cricket character for the 1940 film “Pinocchio” — Cri-Cri has sung his songs, pranced around and delighted the Mexican imagination for nearly a century. Debuting in 1934, the tiny anthropomorphic figure, also known throughout Mexico as “El Grillito Cantor“ (“The Little Singing Cricket”), wore a red tuxedo, played the violin made from twigs and leaves and would appear on the…
On June 11, 2026, Mexico’s men’s football team will enter Estadio Azteca — officially, Mexico City Stadium — to open its 18th World Cup campaign. It will be the team’s 61st game in a tournament it first entered in 1930. In the 60 matches that the men’s team has played in its World Cup history, it has only ever won 17 of them. If that record sounds a bit depressing, these statistics really need to be viewed over two periods. Before 1970, Mexico did indeed struggle to leave a mark on the world stage: From 1930 to 1966, the team…
To the beat of son jarocho, huapango and zapateado, activists from across the country gathered at Mexico City’s Alameda Central on Friday to demand that President Claudia Sheinbaum keep her campaign promise to ban hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking” — and to launch what organizers are calling a new phase of national resistance. The “Fandango por la vida” — organized by the Alianza Mexicana Contra El Fracking, a coalition of more than 40 civil society organizations — drew an animated crowd of environmental, feminist, water defense and human rights activists. They were joined by representatives of communities in Veracruz’s Huasteca region,…

Pope Leo XIV on Monday set out a sweeping vision for corporate executives, politicians and individuals who will shape and be shaped by the future of artificial intelligence, warning leaders to safeguard humanity from A.I.’s most disruptive effects.Leo’s declaration came in the form of a papal encyclical, an open letter to “all people of good will” that ran to roughly 42,300 words in its English version. It outlined his desire to protect human dignity and agency in an age in which technology threatens to replace humans in many professional and social roles. He presented it alongside Christopher Olah, a co-founder…
