Yastika's Historic Ton, Bowlers Put India On Cusp Of Lord's Test Win vs Eng

Wicketkeeper-batter Yastika Bhatia became the first woman to score a Test century at Lord's before India's bowlers tightened their grip on the historic one-off Women's Test against England on Sunday. Resuming the penultimate day with an overall lead of 269, India declared their second innings at 341/7 at the stroke of tea, setting England an improbable target of 457 in four sessions. In reply, England slumped to 130/6 at stumps with Amy Jones unbeaten on 52, leaving India just four wickets away from a memorable victory in the first-ever women's Test at Lord's. Sayali Satghare and Kranti Gaud claimed two wickets apiece to put the visitors in complete control. Brief Scores India 285 and 341/7 declared; 86.3 overs (Yastika Bhatia 113, Smriti Mandhana 70, Richa Ghosh 50 not out; Sophie Ecclestone 5/118, Lauren Bell 2/27). England 170 and 130/6 in 40 overs (Amy Jones 52 batting; Sayali Satghare 2/19, Kranti Gaud 2/40). (This story has not been edited by NDTV staff an...

Elon Musk's 'MAGA' Cap Text Has Eerie Resemblance With Hitler's Nazi Font

Elon Musk, the Tesla owner, showed up on Monday, at Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally in a strange cap. 

The official "Make America Great Again" or "MAGA" cap is red in colour with the text in white. However the one Musk wore was black in colour with the text embroidered in an irregular font usually associated with heavy-metal bands and newspapers. 

"I'm dark gothic MAGA," Musk said.

The internet, however, has read it differently. The font on Musk's cap looks suspiciously similar to the ones used for Nazi typography or "blackletter".

According to a report by FastCompany Magazine, Cheryl Jacobsen, an adjunct professor of lettering at the University of Iowa, said that blackletter was used in Germany as a folk style for the Bible. Regardless, during the rise of Adolf Hitler, the Nazi party re-adopted the font as a sign of its nationalism. It also features on the cover of Hitler's autobiography Mein Kampf.

The font, now a relic of the past, fell into disuse after the Nazis abandoned it due to unfounded rumours of its Jewish origins.

Internet sleuths have much to say about the matter. A user on X said, "Elon posted his MAGA hat which uses the Fraktur font, popular in nazi Germany. He wore this at a rally meant to evoke the 1939 nazi rally at Madison Square Garden. He's telling you who he is." While another commented, "Stretching on this one. It's literally the Old English font. You can't cross reference the serifs."

According to the NYT, John Kelly, former President Trump's longest-serving chief of staff, made a striking statement, asserting that Donald Trump embodies the definition of a fascist. He said, "Certainly the former president is in the far-right area, he's certainly an authoritarian, admires people who are dictators - he has said that. So he certainly falls into the general definition of fascist, for sure."

Having said that, MAGA chief, Trump, said on Monday, "The newest line from Kamala and her campaign is that everyone who isn't voting for her is a Nazi," he told the crowd. "I'm not a Nazi. I'm the opposite of a Nazi."

Hollywood Shuts Down As Actors Go On Strike

Hollywood's actors announced Thursday they will go on strike, joining writers in the first industry-wide shutdown in 63 years after last-ditch talks failed, with nearly all film and television production set to grind to a halt. The Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA), which represents 160,000 performers including A-list stars, said negotiations had ended without a deal on their demands over dwindling pay and the threat posed by artificial intelligence. "SAG-AFTRA's national board unanimously voted to issue a strike order against the studios and streamers," said the union's chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland. The strike will begin at midnight Thursday (0700 GMT Friday), meaning actors will join writers on picket lines from Friday morning in the first Hollywood "double strike" since 1960. Writers have already spent 11 weeks on the picket line, after their similar demands for better pay and protections against the future use of AI in television and fi...
