Comedy clubs aren’t dead, but it’s kind of hard to justify going out when Netflix is so willing to bring comedy clubs to you. Every month, Netflix drops a handful of new stand-up comedy specials to keep things fresh, while maintaining an impressive library of its previous specials as well as stand-up films and shows that predate the streaming era. This month’s new additions are Donnell Rawlings: A New Day, Taylor Tomlinson: Have It All, and Mike Epps: Ready To Sell Out. Both Tomlinson and Epps have previously had Netflix comedy specials, but Rawlings gets his first Netflix spotlight in A…
An Indian expat couldn’t help but cry on live phone interview after he learned that he and 19 of his friends won the Dh15 million Big Ticket grand prize on Sunday. Mohammad Shereef got the call of his life when Big Ticket hosts Richard and Bouchra broke the news to him.

Richard asked where he was and Shereef said he was in Karama. Then without further ado, the Big Ticket…
Israel boycotted Gaza ceasefire talks in Cairo on Sunday after Hamas rejected its demand for a complete list naming hostages that are still alive, an Israeli newspaper reported.

It only took 44 years for a new adaptation of Shōgun to come along and remind viewers that the late James Clavell was an incredible writer. Clavell was a solider in the British army during World War II, and he endured a harsh stint as a POW before his eventual release. Those experiences informed his writing as he went on to become an acclaimed screenwriter, director, and novelist. Shōgun may be Clavell’s most famous work, but it’s far from his only masterpiece. Because the new version of Shōgun is currently airing on FX and streaming on Hulu, we’re taking a look…
It has been exactly one year since one of the most exciting events in the history of UAE’s space exploration. On March 3, 2023, Sultan Al Neyadi blasted off to the International Space Station (ISS) on a mission that became the region’s longest one ever.

There’s no other laptop quite like the MacBook Pro right now. In particular, I’m talking about the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M3 Max under the hood. The way this laptop balances performance and portability just hasn’t been seen before. But it’s getting some serious competition, and it’s coming from an unexpected place. The ROG Zephyrus G14 is a gaming laptop, yes, but its new model this year is the closest thing we have to a MacBook Pro killer. Design At first blush, you wouldn’t think these two laptops share much in terms of design. And it’s true, the ROG…
Malaysia is pushing for a renewed search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, the transport minister said on Sunday, as the 10th anniversary of its disappearance in one of the world’s greatest aviation mysteries approaches. Flight MH370, a Boeing 777 carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew, vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014.
