Nikki Glaser says up top in her Golden Globes 2025 opening monologue that she's not there to roast anyone, but the following 10 minutes says different.

"Wicked, Queer, Nightbitch: these are not just words Ben Affleck yells after he orgasms, these are some of the incredible movies nominated tonight," says Glaser, introducing the nominees. "The Bear, The Penguin, Baby Reindeer: These are not just things found in RFK's freezer, these are TV shows nominated tonight."

Nobody is safe in her opening monologue, with Glaser taking aim at everyone from Martin Short ("And Martin Short is here, because we have cameras!") to Timothée Chalamet ("You have the most gorgeous eyelashes on your upper lip!"). After her famous Tom Brady roast, did we expect anything else?

CES 2025: Lili for Life unveils dyslexia-friendly monitor

Mon, 01/06/2025 - 02:50

French tech startup Lili for Life made quite the impression at CES 2025's Unveiled showcase with its latest innovation, aimed at supporting individuals with dyslexia.

Known for its flagship product, the Lili lamp, the Rouen-based startup has now introduced the Lili screen, a 27-inch monitor specifically designed to address the unique challenges faced by dyslexic users.

According to the team we spoke to at CES, the Lili screen features an intelligent setup that automatically activates a dyslexia-friendly mode when connected to a compatible PC.

The Lili screen, developed by French physicists Albert Le Floch and Guy Ropars, is based on their research showing that dyslexic individuals have two dominant eyes. The condition causes overlapping "mirror" images in the brain during reading, according to the company.

The Lili screen emits nearly imperceptible light flashes that correct this overlap by creating a shift in visual perception. This innovation makes reading smoother, faster, and less tiring, enhancing text comprehension and making the experience more enjoyable for the reader, according to the company.

According to the National Institutes of Health, dyslexia impacts 5-10% of the global population, often bringing challenges like low self-confidence and cognitive strain for many schoolchildren and working adults. While not a cure, Lili for Life hopes its Lili screen can provide a practical solution that empowers those affected, according to the company.

As of now, the Lili screen is available for purchase across Europe and in the UK, and the company hopes to bring the screen to the United States sometime in the future.
