MANCHESTER, England — Manchester City’s FA Cup tie against Salford City will not live long in the memory. The two teams produced a combined six shots on target on Saturday, City won 2-0 and there was no cup upset.The most interesting thing that happened was two fans racing round the pitch in house costumes at halftime. Afterward, even Pep Guardiola called it “boring.”It was forgettable, indeed. For everyone, that is, except for John Stones.If Stones is going to have a successful second half of the season, he might end up looking back at this routine fourth-round fixture as the beginning.…

OpenAI’s GPT-4o may have survived its first brush with going offline, but it won’t be as lucky this time. OpenAI has officially retired GPT-4o, the ChatGPT model that was seen as more conversational and notoriously sycophantic, on February 13. The news of GPT-4o’s end was first announced in a post on the OpenAI website in January, but the discontinuation also included GPT-5, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, and OpenAI o4-mini from ChatGPT.It’s not the first time that OpenAI has delisted GPT-4o as an option for ChatGPT. In August, the AI giant sunsetted the GPT-4o model in favor of rolling out and prioritizing…

Welcome to Deep Dish, a weekly roundup of food and entertainment news. Last time we discussed caviar’s long fall from grace.There’s a lot to love about Chipotle—well a lot less than there used to be, but still a lot to love. As intrepid reporter (and my Deep Dish collaborator) Li Goldstein wrote in 2023, Chipotle simply hits different now. The prices skyrocketed, and, after several food safety scares, the ingredients are prepared ahead of time in centralized locations. As Li wrote in her piece, “Chipotle may have gotten safer, but it almost certainly didn’t get tastier.”But if Chipotle’s burritos have…

How many ways can one reinvent the bandage dress? Michelle Ochs is certainly giving it her best shot with Hervé Léger’s fall 2026 offering.Inheriting a 40-year-old brand with an ultra-specific remit is a double-edged sword for Ochs, who walks a line of honoring the Hervé Léger heritage while also attempting to propel it forward. Celebrity placements certainly help. Sydney Sweeney recently wore a hot pink Hervé dress on her controversial Cosmopolitan cover, while newly minted Grammy winner Olivia Dean donned a forthcoming spring 2026 dress over Grammys weekend. “What I love is also that the younger generation is finding us either through…

The widespread protests in Iran have exposed both Tehran’s brutal tactics in the streets, where state authorities have killed thousands of demonstrators since early January, and extreme measures to block access to the global internet.As it has done repeatedly in the past, the Iranian regime cut off the country’s residents from the global internet during the latest anti-government uprising. But it also shut down access to the country’s intranet, known as the National Information Network, which new research found is becoming a mechanism of constant and pervasive surveillance that may ultimately be the only way Iranians can get online.The last…

Harry Brook’s laugh as he began his post-match press conference said plenty.”We haven’t quite made it as easy as we would have liked so far,” the relieved England captain said.After three games at this T20 World Cup, England have escaped against Nepal, been thrashed by West Indies and now come through a nervy win against Scotland.AdvertisementBeat Italy on Monday and they will be through to the Super 8s.From there, two wins from three, one of which could be against Zimbabwe, would be enough to reach a World Cup semi-final. Reach that point and anything can happen, or so they say.England…

This year’s finalists are an impressive collection of oddballs. There’s Amphibian Modules, a modular synth that swaps patch cables for a dish of saltwater. The Gajveena, which combines a double bass with a traditional Indian veena. And Fiddle Henge is, well, a henge made of fiddles. Four green violins are mounted to a bass drum and played with a spinning disk.And then there’s the Demon Box, a chaotic triangle of evil that turns electromagnetic radiation into music. Unlike most of the rest of the finalists, it’s already a commercial product you can purchase from Eternal Research for $999. Beyond turning…

All prices were accurate at the time of publishing.Ever since I learned to make a cake from scratch, I haven’t really touched boxed cake mixes. I’m not above using them, but the ones I typically see on grocery shelves don’t cater to the flavors I’m craving for dessert these days. While I, of course, love a classic vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, or red velvet cake, I tend to gravitate more toward ube, pandan, Thai tea, or spiced chai, especially on occasions when I’m baking to…
