Ask someone about their travels, and one of the first topics they’ll remark on is how the people, wherever they were visiting, drove their cars. There are New York drivers, aggressive, impatient, and honky. There are California drivers, well adapted to freeway-coasting bumper-to-bumper congestion. In Florida they drive fast; in Maine they drive slow. This is by no means limited to the United States. In Cairo, a city whose streets operate almost entirely without signals, drivers have learned to operate in a collaborative, if grating, cacophony—there, beeping is just another way of talking. In Jakarta, Indonesia, part of the morning…

On August 3, AMC announced the highest-revenue weekend in its 106-year history. More than 10.2 million people had gone to AMC and its Odeon subsidiary’s theaters, with Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey leading the box office. It was a sign that, financially at least, movie theaters are looking much healthier than they did a few years ago. Still, the recovery is not as straightforward as the box office numbers suggest. This summer brought in $4.76 billion at the North American box office, narrowly surpassing the record set in 2013. But people are still going to the movies much…
Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday announced a civil lawsuit against TikTok on August 11, 2026, filed in Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas and accusing the social media platform of violating state consumer protection laws in ways that harm youth. There are two central charges. One is deceit: for example, making false statements about how much of TikTok’s content contains mature themes, and about the ability of its guardrails to protect youth from that content. The second alleges that “TikTok knowingly created platform features intended to cause excessive, compulsive, and addictive use, despite knowing that young people are more susceptible…
The unbridled rise of AI spells mammoth change for businesses, but it is not a crisis. Technology doesn’t create crises—people do, especially when we panic. The artificial intelligence explosion has left many CEOs worried. Worried over falling behind, over their token usage, over job displacement, over whether their AI investments are paying off. This response is understandable, but it is precisely in these moments, when we are faced with the unknown, that effective leaders must embrace change as an opportunity to differentiate and unlock new opportunities for their organization. This should be the goal in every boardroom, and it…
Our greatest problem has been the NEOCONS who usurp American foreign policy to wage their quest to rule the world, spreading the fake democracy that they originally claimed when the multipolar world was capitalism vs communism. Communism collapsed all by itself BECAUSE of pure economic inefficiencies, which the Neocons are carrying out in the West. Some did not our forecast that China will surpass USA post-2032 as te financial capital of the world. This not my opinion nor my desire. I am not here to sell my ideas over anyone else. The computer correlated the world and concludes the trend.…
Key Takeaways ‘Shark Tank’ star Kevin O’Leary learned an important lesson from Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. Jobs taught him to concentrate on the immediate, high-impact work at hand (the “signal”) rather than reacting to every incoming demand (the “noise”). O’Leary said each day should begin with the “signal,” or the three most important tasks that must get done that day. Between nonstop email chains and back-to-back meetings, it’s easy for professionals to be busy for days without making real progress. Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary says the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs once gave him a simple productivity lesson: Tune…
Welcome to America, where apparently standing around is now enough to have your movements searched through a nationwide surveillance network. Records obtained from the Plano, Illinois Police Department reveal more than 1,200 searches involving the category “Curfew/Loitering/Vagrancy Violations.” That is from cameras controlled by ONE small police department, with law enforcement agencies elsewhere accessing those cameras as part of their searches. Additional audit records collected around the country show hundreds more searches under the same category. Flock has more than 120,000 cameras spread across 49 states, and its network has expanded into thousands of communities. This is no longer some…
How’s this for a happy meal? Terry Eagle took a part-time job at a McDonald’s in South London in 1976. Fifty years later, he owns six of them. Eagle started as a teenage crew member, greeting customers and running the register. Four years in, at just 19, he was promoted to manager. From there, he applied to become a franchisee and opened his first Arches in Camberwell before eventually growing his footprint to six restaurants across South London, according to People. “Starting out as a crew member, I never could have imagined the journey ahead of me,” Eagle, now 65,…
Saudi Arabia just reported something that should scare the hell out of anyone who understands how the Middle East actually functions. According to Bloomberg, Riyadh told OPEC that crude production collapsed by 1.9 million barrels per day in August to just 6.238 million barrels per day, the lowest Saudi production since 1990 and even below the wartime low reached earlier this year. Saudi exports have reportedly fallen to around 3.1 million barrels per day, the lowest in more than a decade. This is not because the Saudis suddenly decided to tighten the market to make a few extra dollars. The…
