Todrick Hall’s Off-Broadway musical 'Midnight' has canceled its first week of previews, pushing the start date to September 25 and the opening night to October 15.

Archer Aviation reported Q2 revenue of $5.0 million, above the roughly $1.9 million expected by analysts, but the loss widened to $263.2 million from $217.7 million as operating expenses rose for flight testing, certification, Midnight production, and ZEE, its aviation AI model. Adjusted EBITDA came in at a $177.1 million loss. The company ended the quarter with about $1.56 billion in cash and equivalents, down about $215 million as it funded operations and bought a Hawthorne fixed-base operator. For Q3, Archer guided to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $170 million to $200 million. On the FAA front, Archer completed piloted Midnight city-to-city flights (Salinas–Monterey) and said Midnight remains in the final phase of FAA type certification, with a fully accepted means of compliance and FAA approval of its quality management system, enabling FAA-creditable aircraft.
World of Warcraft’s 12.0.5 Midnight patch arrives with new content but also a fresh wave of bugs and polish problems, prompting players to call on Blizzard to slow the eight‑week patch cadence in favor of a longer 10–12 week cycle that allows for more thorough testing and better storytelling. Critics say beta feedback has been ignored, communication has fallen short, and the rapid cadence is hurting quality, even as the expansion adds activities like fishing and PvP/PvE content. The piece situates the debate in the context of the game’s acquisition by Microsoft and rising subscription prices, and notes ongoing calls for more transparency and improved polish rather than just more drops.”,
Blizzard is signaling a broader push for World of Warcraft’s housing and player-expression features, with more customization options, skins, and flair to engage players—especially Gen-Z—while testing new world and difficulty concepts like Prey in Midnight and Legion Remix's world-tier experiments.

Blizzard's World of Warcraft Midnight pre-patch (Jan 20, 2026) overhauls combat add-ons, integrating key features like a damage meter and boss timeline into the default UI to level the playing field, while major add-ons such as Details! and Deadly Boss Mods persist in a retooled form and WeakAuras won’t receive a compatible version. The goal is to prevent competitive advantages from add-ons, though some tools will continue in updated forms. The update also introduces a new Demon Hunter spec, expands the housing system, and revamps transmog, with the full Midnight release scheduled for March 2, 2026.
World of Warcraft Midnight introduces a minimalist approach to encounter design by disabling combat-focused addons for end-game content, with a focus on clearer visuals and more approachable mechanics. The expansion features three raids, a new Prey system for outdoor content, and a shift towards more transparent and visually distinct trash and boss mechanics, aiming to enhance player experience and storytelling. The game is set to release on PC and Mac in 2026.
Archer Aviation's 'Midnight' eVTOL aircraft achieved a new record by reaching 7,000 feet altitude during a test flight, demonstrating its potential for urban and high-altitude operations, with speeds over 120 mph and a range of 45 miles, marking significant progress toward commercial use and FAA certification.
CBS chief George Cheeks discusses the challenges posed by the writers strike and the evolving streaming series model at the Banff World Media Festival. Cheeks also reveals that Stephen Colbert's contract has been extended for another three years and lays out his strategy for replacing "The Late Late Show with James Corden" with a resurrected Comedy Central format called "@Midnight."

His final episode will air on April 27, 2023, and will feature a final Carpool Karaoke with Adele. CBS CEO George Cheeks wants to experiment with the late-night format and find the right replacement format.
