Disney S First Year By The Numbers

The news of Disney+ is certainly a bright spot for the company in an otherwise dismal year that saw its theme parks and studio entertainment divisions suffering mighty losses due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Dissecting The Opec Oil Cut Opinion

Slashing output by 2 million barrels per day, or approximately 2 percent of the world’s overall supply, was greeted in the U.S. with extreme unease. The Biden administration, which spent weeks dispatching key foreign policy and energy officials in a bid to lobby partners in the Persian Gulf to oppose the cut, were suddenly forced to defend why President Joe Biden’s controversial July trip to Saudi Arabia was necessary. The denunciations were swift; in a joint statement, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and National Economic Council Director Brian Deese slammed OPEC+ for making what they termed a “shortsighted” decision....

Ditka Calls Redskins Name Debate Stupid And Appalling

“This is so stupid it’s appalling,’’ Ditka, now an ESPN analyst, told the website redskinshistorian.com, “and I hope that owner keeps fighting for it and never changes it, because the Redskins are part of an American football history, and it should never be anything but the Washington Redskins. That’s the way it is. “It’s been the name of the team since the beginning of football. It has nothing to do with something that happened lately, or something that somebody dreamed up....

Divided We Er Stand

Reality is closing in fast on Sanusi. Mahathir has called a snap election for Nov. 29 that promises to be stranger than fiction. The prime minister is almost sure to win, not least because his administration has jailed his main rival and former chief deputy, Anwar Ibrahim, on charges of abusing his power to cover up acts of sodomy. Anwar has decided not to try to run from prison, but his demure wife, Wan Azizah Ismail, confirmed last week that she will stand in his stead....

Do Kids Need Prozac

A decade after depressed adults started listening to Prozac, a generation of children is tuning in. None of the half-dozen drugs in Prozac’s class–the so-called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs–has been fully tested in children. But because the drugs are FDA-approved for use in adults, doctors can legally prescribe them to kids as well. The new users span every sector of society, from Manhattan’s most elite schools to Atlanta’s poorest ones, and their numbers are exploding....

Do You Know This Man Need A Clue

For a kiddie-land expat, “Songs for Dustmites” makes perfect sense. It’s an album of adventurous alt-pop with wide-eyed lyrics about science and love. To avoid being brushed off as a novelty act, though, Burns recruited some of alternative rock’s biggest brains to help him out: drummer Steven Drozd of the Flaming Lips and Dave Fridmann, the Lips’ longtime producer. At points, Burns apes his beloved Lips a bit too closely, but if you’re going to mine someone’s sound, you could do a lot worse....
