Today’s Headlines

Disney and Netflix may stop filming in Georgia after their abortion ban

Netflix already announced its intention to “rethink” filming in Georgia if and when the law goes into effect, and now Disney is considering the move too. While that could be crippling to the small businesses supported by these projects, it could be out of the companies’ hands. “I think many people who work for us will not want to work there, and we will have to heed their wishes in that regard,” says one Disney executive.

Ferrari unveiled its most powerful car ever—and it’s a hybrid

In case you were worried that the dawn of electric vehicles would be the end of the supercar, Ferrari would like you to know you thought wrong. With 986 hp bursting from its 3 electric motors and V8 engine, Ferrari’s fastest production car to date reaches 62 mph in 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of 211 mph. It’s pretty easy on the eyes, too.
