I like Hillary.

There, I said it.

I'm tired of feeling like a pariah. Liking Bernie Sanders is cool. Liking Hillary Clinton is not.

Sometimes, a car just takes your breath away — in every imaginable way.

The formula for this grand tourer is quite simple and involves two parts. Part one is a gigantic V12 engine stuffed under the hood. Part two is an abundance of suave, British tailoring.

GENEVA — The International Organization for Migration says 409 people have died this year trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea, and refugee crossings in the first six weeks of 2016 are running at nearly 10 times the rate of the same period last year.

Do you like emojis? And Chinese food? Then 2017 might be your year.

Five new emojis have been selected as candidates for next year's Unicode 10.0, the standard which governs the special characters that appear on your devices. Four of them represent Chinese takeout staples, while the fifth is a "face with one eyebrow raised." (Perhaps indicating a tummy ache from too much lo mein?)

I held my annual Twitter party #SuperBowlExp during the Super Bowl again this year, not to sweat out the game but to comment on all of the brand activity. We collectively rate the advertising and evaluate the marketing, and then take breaks when the game is actually in play!

But my Twitter Party goers were vocal nonetheless. Читать дальше...

The self-described millennial news operation Fusion has struggled to crack into the mainstream since its inception in 2013,  but one place the company surges ahead of its competitors is on the diversity front. Numbers obtained by International Business Times from a internal Fusion memo show that, in a field where most shops are majority white, only 40 percent of Fusion's staff self-identifies as Caucasian, both in its newsroom alone and across the company overall.

Otto Macias was 19 when he left Cuba in the throes of a socialist revolution, enlisted in the U.S. Army and went to fight communists as a machine-gunner in Vietnam. He returned from battle in 1969 — broken and suffering from post-traumatic stress and schizophrenia, his family says.

America lost 2.4 million manufacturing jobs to Chinese outsourcing from 2001 to 2013, according to estimates by the nonpartisan Economic Policy Institute think tank.

But a new report that just emerged from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, predicts we will see robots eliminate 5.1 million jobs globally over the next five years.

Gee, robots really are more efficient! Читать дальше...
