Q&A: ‘Dear Mama’ director resigns Tupac feud with docuseries

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:09:39 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Filmmaker Allen Hughes thought participating in any Tupac Shakur project was a farfetched idea especially after surviving a brutal altercation involving him and the rap legend three decades ago.For years, Hughes firmly held a grudge even after a public apology from Shakur — who along with nearly a dozen gang members in 1993 physically attacked the filmmaker for firing the rapper from the cult classic “Menace II Society.” He along with his brother Albert Hughes had previously directed Shakur’s “Brenda’s Got a Baby” music video in 1990s. After the dispute, Shakur was convicted and served about two weeks in jail.It took Hughes some time, but he finally stopped holding onto his deep-seated resentment a few years ago when Shakur’s estate approached him to direct a documentary called “Dear Mama,” which premieres Friday on FX and will stream the following the day on Hulu. The five-part docuseries explores how the mother-son duo of Tupac and Afeni Shakur shape...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:09:39 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — After cutting U.S. vehicle prices four times this year, Tesla raised the cost overnight on its slow-selling more expensive models.The hike could be an effort to appease investors, who dumped shares of Tesla on Thursday after earnings and profit margins dropped due to previous price cuts. The Austin, Texas, company added $2,500 to all four versions of the Models S and X, increasing their prices from 2.4% to 2.9%.The lowest-price Model S now starts at $87,490, while the base price for the X is $97,490, according to Tesla’s website early Friday. Neither is eligible for the U.S. government’s $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit because they exceed sticker price limits. Prices of the company’s top-selling Model Y small SUV and Model 3 small sedan remained the same after being lowered earlier this week.Tesla shares closed Thursday down nearly 10% after CEO Elon Musk said it would sacrifice profit margins in order to boost sales. On Wednesday Tesla reported f...

La pregunta repetida: ¿por qué sube el dólar frente al peso en Argentina?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:09:39 GMT

(CNN Español) — El sol sale por el este y se esconde por el oeste, la luna tiene dos caras, y en Argentina sube la cotización del dólar o, mirado desde el otro lado, cae el peso. Ha sido así por décadas, salvo excepciones.Hay muchas interpretaciones sobre el zigzag de la moneda nacional, pero detrás del vértigo hay algunas razones que son constantes: la brecha insaciable entre la oferta y la demanda, un país que necesita o consume más dólares de los que recibe de sus exportaciones, una deuda externa inmensa que cada año centrifuga miles de millones en pagos a los acreedores, una inflación galopante que convierte al billete verde en moneda de refugio, un gasto público descontrolado, confianza o desconfianza en el gobierno. Veamos algunas explicaciones.Historia cercana“La historia del dólar es más bien la historia del peso. Es la historia del abuso de la impresión monetaria para financiar el déficit fiscal en Argentina. Esa es la raíz del problema”, sostiene Miguel Boggiano, eco...
