Thanking Jacobs-Jenkins in her acceptance speech, Paulson said: “I will never be able to convey my gratitude to you for trusting me, for letting me hold the hand of Toni Lafayette, a woman you have written who makes no apology, who isn’t begging to be liked or approved of but does hope to be seen.”Though Paulson has found fame in television series like “American Horror Story” and “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story” — winning an Emmy for her performance as the prosecutor Marcia Clark — her career has roots in theater. And she was exposed to Broadway early on. After she moved to New York City as a child, her mother worked as a waitress at Sardi’s, a Broadway haunt that just so happens to be next door to the theater where “Appropriate” opened in December. Paulson’s first job out of high school was as an understudy on Broadway for Amy Ryan in “The Sisters Rosensweig.” (Ryan, who starred in the play “Doubt,” was also nominated in the leading actress category this year.)

☆ Bernstein says Tesla stock will take a hit as Musk pay package is unlikely to pass
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-10 | by ( Spencer Kimball | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Tesla shareholders are unlikely to pass Elon Musk's $56 billion pay package Thursday — which will pressure the company's stock on fears that the CEO could leave the electric vehicle maker — Bernstein told clients in a note Monday. Tesla has never seen turnout higher than 63% in a shareholder vote, Sacconaghi wrote. Even assuming turnout is much higher at 75%, Musk would need 73% of unaccounted for voters to back his pay package, the analyst said. Tesla garnered a 73% "yes" vote on Musk's original pay package in 2018, Sacconaghi said, but it was a much less controversial vote where passive shareholders backed the package. "We believe that if the pay package is rejected, the stock would likely be down (potentially 5%+) amid fears that Musk might leave Tesla," Sacconaghi wrote.

Shares of Apple have lagged major technology peers since the start of the year, rising just 1.5%.

He added that shares tend to underperform the S & P 500 by 10 basis points on average on the day of the event. The analyst retained a $225 price target on Apple shares, implying 14% upside from Friday's close.

Proponents of the "Netflix effect" often point to a poll taken in 2022 which found 28% of American adults considered themselves to be F1 fans, with more than half crediting "Drive to Survive." If this were true it would mean there were an incredible 72 million F1 fans in the U.S. alone. This argument runs out of road slightly however, when you consider that only 2 million Americans tuned in to watch the 2023 Miami Grand Prix.
