Tesla Schedules October 1 Reveal for Long-Delayed Roadster — 2hTesla has announced October 1 as the reveal date for the second-generation Roadster, with expectations of a potential SpaceX-developed flying demo alongside a road-legal version. The long-delayed halo car has faced years of postponements since its 2017 debut, with reservations and ambiguity about when production will actually begin, even as teasers hint at futuristic thrust capabilities.

Maya Lindstrom A SpaceX flying demo sounds impressive but Tesla should prove they can deliver the road version first before hyping extras.

Marcus Bell Good for her, honestly. Divorce is hard enough without the whole world watching you rebuild.

FDA Extends Exelixis Drug Review to March 2027 — 1dThe FDA has extended Exelixis' NDA review for zanzalintinib in combination with atezolizumab/Tecentriq for metastatic colorectal cancer by three months, moving the action date to March 3, 2027 after updated safety and efficacy data were deemed a major amendment. The development of zanzalintinib as a next-generation cancer therapy continues, with the delay potentially impacting timelines for patients, investors, and partners awaiting a decision.

Nicole Hardy The FDA's move to examine the new safety data more closely makes sense, though it will likely delay any benefits for those counting on the combination therapy.

John Hancock raises dividends across five funds, one yielding 9.6% — Sep 2, 2026Five John Hancock funds announced upcoming dividends around Sept. 1: HPS (9.6% yield) and PDT (8.4%) pay on Sept. 30 after a Sept. 11 ex-div date, while JHS yields 5.7% with a Sept. 30 payment and Sept. 11 ex-div date, HTD yields 7.5% with the same dates, and BTO yields 6.7% with a Sept. 30 payout and Sept. 11 ex-div date. The dividend announcements reflect ongoing strategies to provide current income through a mix of dividend-paying equities and fixed-income assets.

Jared Kim HPS at 9.6% is tempting but I always wonder how sustainable those double-digit yields really are long term.

He said the decision was to prevent dragging audiences and touring teams into the broader debate and insisted he would defend himself in court.

Dana Whitfield Smart move honestly - dragging fans and crew through this circus wouldn't have helped him or them. Court is where this needs to be settled, not on stage.

TTM Prices $500 Million Notes for Epiq Acquisition — 2dTTM Technologies priced and announced a $500 million senior notes offering due 2034 to fund the proposed acquisition of Epiq Solutions, with proceeds plus incremental term loans expected to support the deal and potentially reduce other borrowings. The notes are guaranteed by subsidiaries, and if the Epiq transaction does not close by a defined outside date, TTM must redeem the notes at par plus accrued interest, underscoring a tight linkage between the financing and its acquisition strategy (including potential funding for Swiss Technology Group).

Derek Foss TTM locking the notes to the Epiq close makes sense, but that outside date redemption could leave them holding extra cash if the deal slips.

BlackRock funds declare monthly dividends yielding up to 13.2 percent — 1dBlackRock’s funds announced new monthly dividends: BGY will pay 0.0426 per share and yield about 8.8%, BGR 0.0973 per share with roughly 6.6% yield, BLW 0.1132 per share yielding about 11.0%, and BGT 0.1203 per share with an approximate 13.2% yield, with ex-dividend dates set for October 15 and distribution on October 30. Separately, a Form 3 indicates Azam Zeshan Raza, a portfolio manager, is a reporting insider for BGY, but no transactions or holdings were reported for him.

Sam Okafor Yields that high often signal bigger risks like NAV erosion over time, so I'd research the holdings first.

The Rebels also saw Deuce Alexander exit late with an injury before returning, underscoring Lacy’s central role as Ole Miss pursues a key early-season test, including a potential Week 3 date with LSU.

Chris Dalton Glad Alexander walked it off but these thigh/knee tweaks on Lacy have me nervous - hope it's just precautionary.

MLB Releases 2027 Spring Schedules Amid Lockout Risk — Sep 4, 2026MLB has released the 2027 spring training schedules with teams like the Astros, Diamondbacks, Cardinals and A’s planning to begin Feb. 19, though the ongoing CBA negotiations could derail games or delay the start of the season. The schedules show each club’s split-squad dates and home parks, but the looming labor dispute threatens to wipe out or postpone spring training and possibly the regular season.

Tom Gallagher Feels like printing tickets to a concert that might get cancelled, but I get it, gotta plan something.

China detains 52 Singaporeans in Guangxi amid pyramid scheme probe — Sep 4, 202652 Singaporeans have been detained in Guangxi, China, amid a crackdown on pyramid-scheme activities, with Singapore’s MFA and SPF providing consular assistance, visiting detainees and coordinating with families while emphasizing that Singapore does not intervene in China’s judicial process. Chinese authorities continue investigations, and Singapore urges caution on investment schemes, noting the case could be among the largest foreign detentions of Singapore citizens to date.

Rachel Meyers people is a lot, that's basically a whole neighbourhood caught up in this. Hope MFA can get clear answers fast for the families waiting back home.

Maduro and wife cite immunity to dismiss U.S. drug charges — Sep 3, 2026Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores have filed motions in Manhattan federal court to dismiss U.S. drug-trafficking charges, arguing sovereign immunity as sitting head of state and, for Maduro, conduct-based immunity. The filings contend no American court can try a foreign leader recognized as head of state, with hearings scheduled and the trial date set unless the case is dismissed.

Priya Raman Doesn't matter how many motions they file, this case was never going anywhere close to an actual arrest unless he leaves Venezuela.
