American audiences in the streaming era have more access to a wider variety of films and shows than at any time in history. Viewers decide when, where, and how to watch at different prices (including free ad-based options) that make sense for their families. That’s why more than 70% of Americans view streaming favorably (with even higher support among younger consumers and in communities of color) and nearly 75% think streaming services should be regulated the same or less than they are today. Adding blunt government mandates into the greenlighting process will only dampen production and discourage creative risk-taking – winding back the clock on decades of streaming-powered progress. nytimes.com/2026/10/14/busin…

This 2,000 year old tree is located t Zwigodini Village of Mutale in Limpopo, South Africa.
Venda people call it, “Muri Kunguluwa”, which means, “The Tree That Roars”. The tree actually makes a roaring sound when the wind blows through its branches.
It is also called, “The Tree Of Life”, because it serves as a source of life to the animals and the community that lives around it. 80% of its trunk consists of water and it can hold up to 4,500 liters, making it a water source for the community and the animals.
Elephants eat the bark. Baboons eat the fruit. Leaves can also be eaten. Birds, bees, fruit bats and bush babies nest in the tree. Humans use the dried fruit powder in drinks, as a source of vitamins, antioxidants and minerals. The bark can be used to make rope, baskets, mats, cloth and paper.
It also holds a spiritual significance for African people. In ancient times, leaders and elders would hold meetings under huge baobab trees, to discuss important matters. They believed that the spirit of the baobab would help them make wise decisions.

If you can’t walk away from a negotiation, then you aren’t negotiating. You’re just working out the terms of your slavery.

#BlackHistoryMonth reminds us of the vital contributions Black people have made to the world. Celebrating their legacy educates & raises awareness of the rich cultural heritage of African Americans. Honoring Black leaders helps create a more inclusive society for all.

Doctors said after Damar Hamlin awakened last night, he asked in writing who won the game. Doctors told him: “Yes, you won. You’ve won the game of life.”

NFL Players need and deserve guaranteed contracts. There is a huge sacrifice placed on each player every time he steps on that field, and the fact that an owner can cut you at any given time and not pay you is crazy!!!

Blockbuster laughed us out of their offices. We were crushed, desperate and out of options.
But sometimes, the only way out is through.
