Nicolas Cage was such a huge Ghost Rider fan that when he heard the filmmakers were considering Johnny Depp for Ghost Rider (2007), he lobbied for the role himself. Ironically, Cage already had a Ghost Rider tattoo, which the production had to cover with makeup every day.

On May 28, 2026, firefighters in Galveston, Texas, executed a daring, hours-long rescue of eightp students stranded nearly 100 feet in the air on the vertical lift of the Iron Shark roller coaster at Pleasure Pier. Shortly after, one of the rescued riders filed a lawsuit alleging she was inappropriately touched by a firefighter during the extraction. The complaint stems from the close physical contact required to secure riders in safety harnesses and move them into rescue baskets high above the ground. It seems we constantly hear stories of everyday people trying to help others only to get sued afterward. This time it is a firefighter during a rescue operation. How do you see this playing out?

I invited Himanshu, a Blinkit delivery boy, over for lunch. Through his social media post, he had recently shared the harsh realities and miseries faced by riders/delivery boys. We spoke at length about the high risks, long hours, low pay, and no safety net. These voices deserve to be heard in Parliament and beyond.
