LONDON — A Palestinian beer managed to find its way to British store shelves this week from the Israeli-occupied West Bank despite onerous border checks, a distance of some 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) and a raging war in the region.How it got here is a story of an unlikely bond between brewers in arms.“My grandfather used to say, if you can make it succeed and happen in Palestine, you can succeed anywhere else in the world,” said Madees Khoury, brewmaster at Taybeh Brewing Co. and daughter and niece of the founders. “Because of these challenges and obstacles that we go…

These sporty little buds are reportedly dropping with a bonkers 30-hour total battery life that’ll make your current earbuds weep into their charging cases. The leaked renders show four colorways that scream “I definitely work out” (even if you don’t): orange, gray, black, and pink. Each earbud is supposedly good for 7 hours solo, which means you could literally marathon every Marvel movie and still have juice left over. I know this isn’t the Apple leak you wanted today, but c’est…

Missouri Republicans on Tuesday advanced a proposed congressional map, part of a mid-decade redistricting push started by President Trump to hold onto – and possibly expand — the GOP’s razor-thin majority in the U.S. House. The proposed maps aim to make Missouri’s congressional delegation seven Republicans and one Democrat, a change from its current delegation that is made up of six Republicans and two Democrats. The map breaks up the 5th Congressional District, currently held by Democratic Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver, making it more conservative.The measure passed Missouri’s state House 90-65, with several Republicans voting against it. It now heads to the…

Álex Palou’s chance at matching the mark for most wins in an INDYCAR season has officially been denied. The Spaniard, who has already clinched the title for the 2025 season, appeared set to win Sunday’s Milwaukee Mile 250 at Wisconsin State Fair Park in Wisconsin.

It also marked the first time there was a first-time winner in an INDYCAR race since 2021. Aug 24,…
