A stunning tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” begins with the death of his character, T’Challa. While the trauma of the Talokans has bonded them together as a people, Shuri’s grief and rage have fueled self-isolation. Shuri also dismisses the Black Panther as a relic of the past. T’Challa’s death and Shuri’s anguished-filled reaction to the devastating loss, among others, are the catalysts upon which “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” hinges. “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” doesn’t ask Shuri, Namor or the audience to push past their anger and grief — it’s a constant in this film.

☆ Crypto's Lehman moment: Here's how Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX compares to the biggest collapse of the Global Financial Crisis
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-11 | by ( Phil Rosen | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

Experts have drawn comparisons between the collapse of crypto exchange FTX and the fall of Lehman Brothers in 2008. Here's how the two events compare and what FTX's fall means for the broader financial system. In the years leading up to the Great Financial Crisis, Lehman loaded its balance sheet with vast amounts of subprime mortgage debt. When the "bank run" began this week, FTX didn't have the funds to meet withdrawal requests. But compared to 14 years ago, it probably won't be FTX's downfall that sparks a broader financial crisis, Allen said.

Summary Prominent Sunni cleric criticises security forcesUnrest in minority areasGeneral tells clerics to restore calmDUBAI, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Iranians protested in the restive southeast on Friday to mark a Sept. 30 crackdown by security forces known as "Bloody Friday", as the country's clerical rulers battled nationwide unrest. The region is one of the country’s poorest and has been a hotbed of tension where Iranian security forces have been attacked by Baluch militants. Thirty-nine members of the security forces had also been killed, while nearly 15,100 people have been arrested, it said. They were accused of acts of sabotage, assaulting or killing members of the security forces or setting fire to public property. Several social media videos showed a gathering at Tehran's Behesht-e Zahra cemetery to honour Amir Mehdi Farrokhipour, a 17-year-old allegedly killed by security forces 40 days ago.

☆ Biden to nominate Daniel Werfel to head up IRS
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-10 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

Nov 10 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden will nominate Daniel Werfel to be the next commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax agency, succeeding Charles Rettig whose term ends on Saturday, the White House said on Thursday. Werfel previously served as acting commissioner of the body in 2013, when the White House said he "provided immediate stability to the IRS, effectively responding to numerous Congressional investigations." The IRS faces a number of challenges including a recent partisan divide over the hiring of new agents. In August, an internal Treasury memo showed Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen directed the organization to produce within six months a detailed plan for deploying $80 billion in newly enacted enforcement funding. "After decades of underfunding, the IRS now has the resources it needs to improve services for taxpayers and modernize outdated technology and infrastructure," she said.

Sevastopol is vital to Russian power-projection in the Black Sea, the Mediterranean, and beyond. (The frigate, Admiral Makarov, became the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet upon the sinking of the cruiser Moskva). Moreover, Ukraine's access to Western anti-ship missiles has already made the Black Sea inhospitable for Russian ships. Russia's hold on the Black Sea slipsRussian President Vladimir Putin at a military parade in Sevastopol on May 9, 2014.

☆ GOP lawmakers are bashing Biden for driving up inflation, but they could make it worse by extending Trump's tax cuts
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-17 | by ( Ayelet Sheffey | Juliana Kaplan | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Republicans are eyeing a midterm victory as a method to extend Trump's tax cuts. Biden continues to resist Trump's tax policies but has run into roadblocks from centrist Democrats. But as Republican lawmakers have been blaming Biden for high inflation levels in the country, extending Trump's tax cuts could cause prices to climb because it would stimulate consumer spending, causing demand to overpower supply. The Trump tax cuts have proven to have real political staying power, even with Democrats' razor-thin majority. Any real discussion of the future of the tax cuts probably won't come until 2025, when the individual cuts provision expires.

This Saturday, on October 15, 2022, the movement is marking the fifth anniversary of the hashtag going viral. "What they're saying really is, 'I want to continue to behave the way I've been behaving,'" Burke told us in response. She doesn't want the movement to result in work environments that are tense for anyone. Burke said she wants to see more open dialogue in workplaces, and cited Accenture as a company that has done it well. Going forward, Burke wants "Me Too" to not be a divisive issue, but a common-sense one — where it stands for supporting survivors of violence and creating inclusive workplaces.

Ad agencies are struggling to find new business. Major marketers like Microsoft have already slashed ad spend, and agency sources expect more cuts in 2023. Brands aren't offering their ad businesses to new agencies due to economic uncertainty. This is putting a huge strain on agencies already reeling as existing clients spend less. This year, staff cuts have already hit ad agencies like independent San Francisco-based advertising shop Venables, Bell & Partners and IPG agencies Huge and R/GA.

Now 76 and living in Oregon, Mountain Girl has gave us an exclusive look at her memoir.

Before I leave Kesey's farm, Mountain Girl and I walk outside to the old brown barn where Furthur now rests. But for Mountain Girl, it lives forever, an emblem of everything her generation believed in, and all that they achieved.

The other day, Linda, the real-estate agent whom my wife and I used to buy our home, called me out of the blue. Real-estate agents, like doctors, are the friendly, knowledgeable face of a bewildering, price-gouging system. If Americans paid the same rate as the British, they would save more than $72 billion a year in real-estate commissions. The potential for big money, in turn, has led more and more Americans to become real-estate agents. Every dollar that is paid out in a real-estate transaction — to sellers, agents, inspectors, insurers, and the IRS — comes from you, the buyer.

Together, these revenue streams mean cryptocurrency influencers profit off their viewers no matter which way the market turns. Of course, crypto YouTube is a far cry from the regulated world of traditional finance. Armstrong told the Post that he made "maybe close to a million" from before dropping sponsored content in January 2022. A price list leaked by ZachXBT appears to show that dozens of small crypto influencers also have menus for similar undisclosed deals. But with little regulatory oversight, crypto influencers show little sign of slowing down — despite the precipitous decline of the crypto market.

MIAMI — In a luxury Miami resort earlier this month, leading conservative politicians, influencers and academics gathered to formulate a grand path forward for the American right. Meanwhile, the broader American left was repeatedly denounced as the “enemy” and a “regime” with “evil” ideas. The conference was backed by substantial donations from conservative advocacy groups and think tanks that included the Common Sense Society, The Heritage Foundation and the Conservative Partnership Institute. One panel featured a presentation titled “How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Christian Nationalism,” though some attendees saw a more clear distinction between the two nationalist ideologies. “Sometimes people get swept up in the ideas of Christian nationalism,” Jordan Esrig, a senior at Vanderbilt University who attended the conference, said.

A core part of federal emissions regulations since the early 1970s has been the so-called California Waiver. Nik Wheeler/Corbis/Getty ImagesBut, in 1967, it was Reagan, then the governor of California, who signed off on the creation of the California Air Resources Board. By this time, the groundwork had already been laid for California to set its own rules and that continued with the “California waiver,” a part of federal regulations that made this special exception for California. During his tenure, President Donald Trump asked the courts to do away with the California waiver. President Joseph Biden’s administration dropped that effort and, in March 2022, the California waiver was renewed once more.

I was desperate to drink ayahuasca — I had been for several months, in fact — and the formality of an assignment would help me out at home. Instead, a friend of a friend linked me up with an ayahuasca sangha, a Buddhist word for a spiritual community. I thought of my old friend, Scott, who, many years before, had declined an opportunity to drink ayahuasca.

☆ How Warren Buffett's son spent the $90,000 of Berkshire stock he got at 19—worth $300 million now: 'I don't regret it'

Peter worked out a budget and moved to San Francisco, where he "lived very frugally" in a small studio apartment. (According to CNBC's calculations, $90,000 of Berkshire Hathaway stock in 1977 would be worth more than $300 million as of Jan. 5, 2023, for a return of over 300,000%.) "But I didn't make that choice and I don't regret it for a second," Peter writes. "I used my nest egg to buy something infinitely more valuable than money: I used it to buy time." That distinction is easy to miss in Warren's case, because the work he loves most — investing — is all about money.
