‘They’ve Stolen the Narrative’: Black Business Leaders on the DEI Backlash Bloomberg Businessweek convened five prominent Black executives to candidly discuss navigating the White House, rollbacks in access and the current American mood.

And so it begins.

Meta and YouTube Found Negligent in Landmark Social Media Addiction Case

“The finding validates a novel legal theory that social media sites or apps can cause personal injury.”

Top AI models underperform in languages other than English Those turning to them for health advice are most at risk

We are being sold a vision of AI as a borderless equalizer.

But the hard numbers show that Silicon Valley has hardcoded English as the "default language" for AI.

For 600M Spanish-speakers, your language is a disadvantage, one penalized by double-taxing your tokens for a translation.

Condé Nast CEO says AI is a ‘death blow’ to Google search Roger Lynch says publisher of Vogue and The New Yorker increased revenue last year with subscription growth

We're looking at the collapse of all free, high-quality journalism on the web.

And that’s a problem for all of us.

If the best info is paywalled:
- AI serves only 2nd/3rd best sources.
- Future generations lose access.
- The world splits: those with access and those without.

They’ll just become Democrats again. They move to whatever party is in office. Mercenaries.

The Ellison family is also about to own every major Black-media brand in America, and the largest Spanish-language cable portfolio outside of Univision and Telemundo.

And they have never publicly stated a SINGLE commitment to Black or Latino audiences. Not one.

He built a hit podcast about the Epstein files. It's entirely AI-generated Built by a data entrepreneur, the automated show is publishing episodes at a pace traditional newsrooms can’t match.

"The fact that such an AI-heavy podcast could garner such a large audience is significant, and the consequences for journalists are hard to ignore."

Non-journos are moving into journalism and doing a better job by embracing new tech, accuracy, and releasing it faster than any human can produce.

The level of hyperbole over at X is making me nauseous.

Melting pots: NYC sanitation races to get snow into giant hot tubs, thaw the city “We want to melt because it's not going to go away anywhere anytime soon," acting Sanitation Commissioner Javier Lojan declared on Wednesday.

"The powder is dumped into the massive hot tubs, which can melt up to 120 tons of snow per hour, and spewed into the sewers as water."

These are the "hot tub" machines that NYC is using to melt that hard, crusty, dirty snow all over the city. Really great tech.

Chart showing Americans have relatively low confidence in Trump on Venezuela; few want U.S. highly involved in governance.

Wow. Has anyone been on X for a minute? My X feed looks like a massacre.

It’s reporter after reporter from the Washington Post posting they got laid off losing their jobs. It's hard to see.

My heart goes out to all WaPo journalists today.

Michael (2026) Official Trailer - Jaafar Jackson YouTube video by Lionsgate Movies

I really hope this movie biopic works. So many setbacks, but this trailer gave me hope!

Colman Domingo stars as Michael's father, Joe Jackson, but the star is by far Jaafar Jackson, MJ's nephew. He becomes Michael!

Democratic Upset in Deep Red Texas District Rattles Republicans

Heartbroken by this news! I never met her, but her joyful aura on camera was truly magnetic to me. I recently watched her in THE STUDIO and it was impossible not to love her.

A massive loss for fans and the Hollywood community.

Will the smartphone survive the AI age? The Apple-Android duopoly is under attack from OpenAI, Meta and Amazon

So according to this article, by 2028, the iPhone might go away.

We’re going to be replacing it with VR glasses and headphones.

But the trade-off is that tech companies will have 24/7 access to everything you see and hear. 👀

Will you make that trade?

#Latinos made some noise at the #Oscars this year! But also some snubs.

Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein" got 9 nods (Best Pic). Wagner Moura's "The Secret Agent got 4 nods (Best Pic). Benicio del Toro Best Supporting Actor!

But no Oscar Isaac for Best Actor, no Guillermo Del Toro for director.

What If Bad Bunny Sweeps the 2026 Grammys? by Jack Rico

I have a question....

What Would Happen If #BadBunny Sweeps the 2026 Grammys?

Who knows which way all this goes. But we're in a new era. And we're just beginning to ask questions that are going to need new answers very soon.

PREDICTION 6: America elects its first Latino president.

The demographics make it undeniable.

PREDICTION 5: Mexico City becomes the gateway capital. Not Miami.

With its location to both the U.S. and South America, a massive manufacturing workforce, CDMX becomes the second-most important city in the West.

PREDICTION 4: New York becomes the capital of the new American order.

Washington and Mar-a-Lago run administration and military.

PREDICTION 3: The Caribbean becomes the Hamptons of the Western Hemisphere.

Should Cuba fold, Wall Street developers will have their crown jewel… the world's most desirable real estate destination.

PREDICTION 2: Spanish-language media in the US turns into heritage programming.

Univision and Telemundo become heritage and nostalgia US outlets, but serve as the gateway networks for Latin American audiences.

PREDICTION 1: American Latinos become the center of Latino culture.

The definition of "Latino" in America will go from Latin American to American Latino. From Spanish to English. From immigrant identity to US-born identity.

"Latino" will mean American, the same way "Italian" or "Irish" does today.

For decades, U.S. Latinos have existed in this strange limbo: "Too Latino to be American, too American to be Latino."

But today:
• 1 in 5 Americans are U.S.-born Latinos
• Majority are English-dominant & young

This reality check spills over into 6 predictions I foresee for the next decades…

Who benefits most from this E.U. like unification of the Americas?

• Wall Street
• American tourists
• South American elites in step with U.S. interests
• The South American middle class

And one group rarely talked about: American Latinos.
