A mother from Alabama was taken into custody after two kilograms of cocaine were discovered in the backpack of her three-year-old child.

A mother from Alabama was taken into custody after two kilograms of cocaine were discovered in the backpack of her three-year-old child.

An Alabama mother, 35 years old, was taken into custody after local sheriff’s deputies discovered “large amounts of cocaine” during a search warrant. The illegal substance was found in the bag of her child, who was three years old, and it was worth thousands of dollars.

An information source provided the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office with information regarding the substantial quantities of cocaine that were found at a residence, as stated in a press release issued by the department. According to the sheriff’s office, narcotics investigators then set up surveillance and claimed that they spotted the woman leaving the location.

After following the woman in a car that was clearly marked, the detectives eventually stopped the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop. As a result of the stop, the police discovered a firearm, a minor amount of marijuana, and 1.5 kilograms of cocaine in the vehicle that the woman was driving, according to the department.

As a result of the discovery of the drugs in the lady’s vehicle, the sheriff’s office decided to execute a search warrant at the residence where the detectives had seen the woman leaving earlier, according to the department.

Taiwan city of Taipei — The National Fire Agency of Taiwan provided an update on Wednesday at nine o’clock Eastern time (9 o’clock local time), stating that the number of fatalities has not changed and that there have been 963 people injured.

According to the organization, there were at least 143 people who were still trapped, the majority of them were located in a highway tunnel and two rock quarries. Additionally, the agency stated that all of the individuals who were known to have been trapped in structures have been extracted. An individual who was rescued from the debris was found to be among the deceased, according to the agency.

Taiwan is located in a zone of complicated tectonics, as stated by the United States Geological Survey. This region is located close to the intersection of three major tectonic plates, which are the Philippine Sea plate to the east and southeast, the Eurasia plate to the north and west, and the Sunda plate to the southwest.

According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), Taiwan is prone to earthquakes classified as moderate to big in magnitude.

Downgraded tsunami warning after dozens of aftershocks and landslides.

There were 76 aftershocks registered in Taiwan in the less than five hours that followed the earthquake, with some of them reaching a magnitude of 6.4. Over three hundred thousand households were left without power, and commuters were left stranded as a result of the suspension of operations on the island’s high-speed train system and metro lines. Aftershocks with magnitudes ranging from 6.5 to 7.0 are expected to occur within the next three to four days, according to Wu Chien-fu, who is the director of the Seismology Center at the Central Weather Administration.

As reported by WFAA, a Dallas television station,

Rashee Rice, a wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, is being sought by the Dallas police department in connection with an investigation into a significant accident that occurred on Saturday evening. According to the outlet, a vehicle that is believed to be registered or leased to Rice was involved in a collision at approximately 6:20 p.m. on Saturday.

In an interview with The Dallas Morning News, Kristin Lowman, a spokesperson for the Dallas Police Department, stated that the preliminary investigation revealed that two drivers, one in a Lamborghini and the other in a Chevrolet Corvette, were traveling at high speeds in the far left lane when they both lost control of their vehicles. During the time that the authorities are still trying to identify the individuals responsible for the collision, two drivers were treated at the scene of the accident for minor injuries, and two other people were sent to a hospital with minor injuries.
There is a lack of clarity regarding Rice’s alleged role in the collision; nonetheless, the police call sheet that was obtained by The Dallas Morning News identified him as the person who is suspected of driving the Corvette.

The Chiefs selected Rice in the second round of the draft the previous year, and he had a remarkable rookie season, finishing as Patrick Mahomes’ second-leading receiver behind Travic Kelce. Before setting a new record for an NFL rookie with 26 postseason receptions during the Chiefs’ journey to the Super Bowl, he had 79 receptions for 938 yards and seven touchdowns, which led the club.

At around 6:25 p.m., officers responded to complaints about a collision involving many vehicles that occurred on the 6600 block of North Central Expressway, close to the Lovers Lane exit, as stated by the Denver Police Department. Two vehicles, a Chevrolet Corvette and a Lamborghini, were traveling at high speeds in the far left lane of the highway when both drivers lost control of their vehicles, according to a statement released by the Department of Public Safety (DPS). The preliminary inquiry conducted by the police revealed that an investigation was conducted.

Lowman said occupants of the Lamborghini and Corvette “all ran from the scene without stopping to determine if anyone needed medical help or providing their information.” In addition, two other drivers were taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries, according to Lowman. At a nearby hospital, two individuals who were traveling in a different vehicle were transported with minor injuries. According to Lowman, the investigation and the identification of suspects are still ongoing right now. WFAA reported Saturday night about a multi-vehicle crash on North Central Expressway, showing video from the scene afterward while saying traffic had been backed up for several hours while the highway was shut down.

The Dallas Fire Rescue teams treated two drivers at the scene for minor injuries, and they took two occupants from another of the affected vehicles to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries. This information comes from the police.

WFAA was informed by attorney Marc Lenahan that he represented one of the victims who stayed hospitalized for the night of Sunday.

“They were just headed down the highway to meet friends for dinner, like we all do,” Lenahan explained to reporters. “At 6:30 o’clock at night, two vehicles were traveling at an excessively high rate of speed on a highway that was packed with families and other individuals who were attempting to get home, get to meals, or be with loved ones. The individuals in question believed that they were too cool for all of that.

According to their sources, the police believe that one of the automobiles that was speeding was registered in Rice’s name. Additionally, according to sources, the police suspect that the Lamborghini and the Corvette were competing in a street race at the time of the accident.

There is no evidence that Rice was booked into the Dallas County jail as of Sunday afternoon, according to the records. At this point, it is not entirely obvious what actions the police have been doing in order to locate Rice.

In response to a request for comment, officials with the DPD did not provide any clarification, and they have not yet named Rice as a suspect in their official pronouncements.

Brentford deserved a point against Manchester United on Saturday after Kristoffer Ajer scored his second goal in two outings.

The away team seized the lead against the flow of play six minutes into the extra time period, with replacement Mason Mount scooping the ball past Bees goalkeeper Mark Flekken. However, Ajer converted Ivan Toney’s cutback three minutes later, resulting in a thrilling conclusion at Gtech Community Stadium.

Brentford was denied two shots by the woodwork, bringing the score to a tie at the interval.

Thomas Frank made two changes to the team that lost narrowly at Burnley two weeks ago at Turf Moor.

The most noticeable addition was that of Yehor Yarmoliuk, who made his first start of the calendar year. The Ukrainian took Frank Onyeka’s place in the middle of the field.

In addition, Keane Lewis-Potter was brought back into the lineup to play left wing-back, taking the place of Sergio Reguilón, who was suspended.

Following their thrilling 4-3 victory against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarterfinals, Manchester United did not make any changes to their lineup.

Yarmoliuk did well to gain the byline and cut back looking for Jensen before the visitors evacuated the field. This was part of a cagey beginning that saw both teams have opportunities to score for themselves.

Marcus Rashford was the one who launched a counterattack for United shortly after that, but it was a move that ultimately resulted in Bruno Fernandes drawing the first opening for the away team off target.

The remainder of the half, as well as the entire encounter, was dominated by the Bees, who established themselves as the dominant team.

By putting in a lot of effort, Yoanne Wissa was able to take advantage of some lax defending on the part of the opposing team. He produced a low cross that Victor Lindelof had to clear.

Raphaël Varane, who was Lindelof’s partner in the central defense position, was subsequently had to return the favor as Brentford continued to exert pressure in an attempt to score the first goal of the evening.

The shot that Jensen took was blocked by Onana, and Ivan Toney’s free kick that was taken after a deft routine with Vitaly Janelt was successful in being cleared.

Almost immediately after that, Toney had the finest opportunity of the half. Nathan Collins exhibited a remarkable amount of vision in order to locate Wissa in space, and his flick around the corner allowed the England international to get close to the goal.

There was just Andre Onana to beat, and Toney’s effort came agonizingly back off the bottom of the keeper’s right-hand post. Meanwhile, United tried to clear the ball, and Wissa headed the corner that resulted in the shot missing the target.

A few seconds later, the woodwork would once again prevent Brentford from achieving the breakthrough that their exceptional start had more than justified.

In the end, Zanka’s thunderous back-post header came dangerously close to hitting the crossbar after a short corner routine that was played back to the original taker Jensen.

During the first half, Wissa had emerged as the embodiment of Brentford’s aspirations. It was on the outskirts of the home team’s territory when he won the ball back and then found Janelt using it.

The weighted ball that the German player threw over the top was ideal for the run of Toney, who left Lindelof on the ground as he cut inside and blasted just over the crossbar.

Onana had to be on his toes to save Lewis-Potter’s header from Ajer’s cross with the outside of his foot as the half came to a close. Janelt and Wissa both missed more attempts, and Onana had to be on his toes to stop the header. Frank’s team did not let up in their intensity.

Mount and Ajer score in Gtech finale drama.

THE SCOOP ON BRENTFORD VS. MANCHESTER UNITED

At the beginning of the second period, Brentford had a series of corners, and Diogo Dalot then curled a shot that went wide of the mark.

The strong run that Wissa made from within his own half resulted in a shot that went wide of the target, and Flekken made an outstanding stop to prevent Rasmus Højlund from scoring at the opposite end of the field.

Onana then denied Yarmoliuk, and Lewis-Potter attempted to make a rebound but was unsuccessful. In the midst of yet another extended period of Bees pressure, the wide player also failed to hit the target with his header from Jensen’s cross.

In the next opportunity to come and go, Toney’s volley from Jensen’s lofted through ball was the one that came and went. As the game entered its last twenty minutes, the number of home shots reached 23 thanks to a bicycle shot by Lewis-Potter contained within the area.

As part of the first two substitutions made by the home team, Bryan Mbeumo took the place of Wissa, while Mikel Damsgaard was brought in to replace the extremely remarkable Yarmoliuk.

On the 73rd minute, Toney finally had the ball in the net when he latched on to Mbeumo’s assist; however, the forward was not allowed to score because he was millimeters offside.

With seven minutes remaining on the clock, Mbeumo’s magnificent volley cannon would head back off the woodwork, and Toney would then hook the Cameroonian’s corner over the crossbar. Both of these events would result in Brentford being denied yet another opportunity.

The fourth official announced that there would be nine further minutes added to the game, and it appeared as though Frank’s team was about to suffer the most brutal of ends.

Mason Mount, who had just entered the game as a replacement, took advantage of a cross from Casemiro and curled the ball into the far corner to give the away team a lead that they had earned through their own good fortune.

But there was more late drama to come, and the Gtech quickly went from being filled with anguish to being filled with excitement.

Saman Ghoddos lofted the ball high into the penalty area of Manchester United, and Ivan Toney did an outstanding job of keeping the ball alive.

Ajer scored the goal in front of the south stand as the forward made his way to the byline and laid the ball on a plate for him to score. This resulted in the restoration of the much-deserved parity.

Despite the fact that there was still time for the Bees to try their luck once more, United was able to clear Neal Maupay’s deep cross, and referee Hooper brought an exciting match to a stop in the 104th minute.

The Brentford starting eleven consists of: Flekken, Roerslev, Zanka, Ajer, Collins, Lewis-Potter, Ghoddos (86), Jensen, Yarmoliuk (69), Janelt, Toney, Wissa (70), and Damsgaard.

Players substituted off: Onyeka, Baptiste, Ji-soo, Trevitt, and Strakosha.

After Martinez’s substitution in the 69th minute, Manchester United’s starting lineup consists of Onana, Dalot, Lindelof, Varane, Maguire, Wan-Bissaka, McTominay, Mainoo, Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford, Anthony, Højlund.

All four of Heaton, Amrabat, Kambwala, and Erikse were benched.

The Ukrainian fight to maintain its European aspirations

The Ukrainian fight to maintain its European aspirations

The BRUSSELS — Even Olha Stefanishyna, the 38-year-old deputy prime minister whose job it is to make that dream come true, did not believe that Ukraine would get this close to securing a free and democratic future as a member of the European Union. No one expected that Ukraine would get this close to obtaining any such future.

Elena Stefanishyna had spent her entire life working toward the goal of integrating her country with the West and freeing it from the control of Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia. This endeavor frequently appeared to be an impossible task. On the other hand, Putin’s invasion in 2022 was unsuccessful, which resulted in Ukraine becoming an official candidate for membership in the European Union.

The Ukraine and Stefanishyna now have a genuine opportunity, provided that the country is able to survive.

Stefanishyna stated that for Ukraine, it is about “getting rid of the post-Soviet burden, this legacy of tyranny and suffering.” He also stated that it is about “coming back to the origins of the family of European nations.”

Stefanishyna and other diplomats are waging their own offensive to preserve Ukraine’s independence and identity by carving out a path forward in Brussels. This is happening despite the continued, albeit much more quiet, reluctance of European Union countries who are concerned that such a large and needy new member will divert resources from their own citizens. While the Ukrainian military is attempting to withstand the ongoing Russian onslaught, all of these diplomats are working to preserve Ukraine’s independence and identity.

This hesitation was on full show this week when France and Poland joined forces to advocate for restrictions on imports from Ukraine. This news came in the midst of demonstrations by farmers in their respective nations who are demanding additional assistance. Agriculture is the most significant industry in Ukraine, and the economy of the country is in a state of disarray; nevertheless, Kyiv has little authority to protest about the situation.

The entirety of the conflict has been spent by Stefanishyna traveling between Kyiv and Brussels. It used to be a simple flight that took only three hours, but now it might take her more than twenty hours to get from the capital of Ukraine, where there are no airports that are operational due to the persistent danger of missile strikes, to the capital of the European Union, which is overwhelmingly peaceful.

She is able to operate from a government building in Kyiv that is surrounded by checkpoints and sandbags. When air raid sirens sound, metal grates may be dropped over her office windows to protect her from the potential danger.

During the beginning of the invasion, she was separated from her children for a period of several months. Currently, she packs them into a car and drives them to a parking garage that has been converted into a bomb shelter on certain evenings.

While all is going on, things are proceeding as usual in Brussels. The leaders get together. Deals are brought about. She has been quoted as saying, “Countries and destinies are just files.” Because of this dynamic, she is required to explain the stakes of her country with caution, always walking a narrow line between asking and appealing, even as Ukrainians are being bombarded back in their homeland.

At the table where negotiations were taking place, she stated, “We are exactly the same.”

The difference, she explained, is that when we return to Kyiv, we are in a country that is currently experiencing conflict. The phrase “we are on the verge of survival”

The difficulties that lie ahead are both existential and bureaucratic in nature. The European Union (EU) assigns prospective member states a number of changes to implement in order to bring their legislation into conformity with the extensive rule book of the union. It is imperative that nations complete a comprehensive retooling of their institutions and markets. It is possible that the process will take a decade or maybe more, even under ideal circumstances.

In order for Ukraine to achieve success, it will be necessary to overcome opposition from politicians who are openly sympathetic toward Russia as well as isolationists who believe that the European Union club is large enough. Not only will it mean living to fight and negotiate another day, but it will also require asking the same countries that must decide on membership to help pay for ammunition and weapons and to provide shelter for people who have fled violence.

According to Stefanishyna, “It is normal because whenever we hear that Ukrainians are impatient, they are nervous, and they are ungrateful, it is also normal.” “We are a nation that is filled with gratitude… On the other hand, it’s simply like saying, “My children are living in a bomb shelling.”

The 87-year-old Louis Gossett Jr., the first African-American to receive an Academy Award for supporting actor, has passed away.
Subject: CBS/AP Updated: March 29, 2024 at 3:02 PM EDT

Having won an Emmy for his performance in the groundbreaking TV miniseries “Roots,” Louis Gossett Jr. became the first Black man to receive an Oscar for supporting acting. He passed away. This man was 87 years old.

A cousin named Neal L. Gossett confirmed the news of Gossett’s passing to CBS News. Associated Press reports that the actor passed on Thursday night in Santa Monica, California. We don’t know what killed them.

The news of our father’s passing this morning is brought to us with the deepest sadness. Please accept our deepest sympathies. We are truly grateful. The family asked for privacy at this trying time, and they asked that others do the same in a message they released on Friday.

Success came to Gossett at a young age and continued to propel him forward in his career until he won an Oscar for “An Officer and a Gentleman.” He always saw his early career as a reverse Cinderella narrative.

While he was out with an injury that prevented him from playing basketball, he had his acting debut in a school production of “You Can’t Take It with You” in Brooklyn.

He stated in his memoir “An Actor and a Gentleman” published in 2010 that he and his audience were captivated.

He was pressured by his English teacher to visit Manhattan and audition for “Take a Giant Step.” He made his Broadway debut in 1953, at the tender age of 16, after landing the part.

The 87-year-old Louis Gossett Jr., the first African-American to receive an Academy Award for supporting actor, has passed away.

It was because “I knew too little to be nervous,” Gossett wrote. “In retrospect, I should have been scared to death as I walked onto that stage, but I wasn’t.”

Scholarships for both basketball and theater allowed Gossett to attend New York University. Before long, he was performing on television shows presented by Steve Allen, Jack Paar, Red Buttons, Merv Griffin, Ed Sullivan, and David Susskind. At Frank Silvera’s offshoot of the Actors Studio, Gossett befriended James Dean and took acting classes with Marilyn Monroe, Martin Landau, and Steve McQueen.

Along with Sidney Poitier, Diana Sands, and Ruby Dee, Gossett was cast in the 1959 Broadway revival of “A Raisin in the Sun” and garnered critical praise for his performance.

Working with Sidney Poitier, Diana Sands, and Ruby Dee was an honor. “What an honor,” Gossett exclaimed to CBS.

Upcoming 2020 events. Demonstrated to me the good and the bad. I learned that from them. And I was enamored. It’s permeating my entire body.

Sammy Davis Jr. replaced Billy Daniels in “Golden Boy” in 1964, and Gossett went on to become a Broadway star.

By 1961, Gossett had made her first trip to Hollywood, where she had filmed “A Raisin in the Sun.” On that journey, he stayed in a cockroach-infested motel—one of the few accommodations that allowed Black people—and he had resentful recollections of it.

He went back to Hollywood in 1968 for a big part in NBC’s first made-for-TV movie, “Companions in Nightmare,” which co-starred Melvyn Douglas, Patrick O’Neal, and Anne Baxter.

Universal Studios had rented a convertible and Gossett had checked into the Beverly Hills Hotel. A Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy pulled him over on his way back to the hotel after he picked up the vehicle. The deputy told him to lower the volume and raise the roof before releasing him.

Just a few minutes later, eight sheriff’s deputies had him pinned to the vehicle, forced to open the trunk while they contacted the rental car company, and then released him.

“My system experienced an anomaly. Keep an eye out and be cautious, you know. When asked about the incident in 2020, Gossett explained that it had a negative impact on him because of the sensation. “When people say that Black lives matter, then?” Because they harmed themselves as much as they harmed me, every life matters.

Following his supper at the hotel, he decided to go for a stroll. However, he was abruptly halted a block away by a police officer, who informed him that he had violated a regulation that forbade walking around residential areas of Beverly Hills after 9 p.m. Gossett claimed that two other officers came and tied and shackled him to a tree for three hours. When the original police car came back, he was finally set free.

“Now I had come face-to-face with racism, and it was an ugly sight,” said he. “But it was not going to destroy me.”

According to Gossett, the cops stopped his refurbished 1986 Rolls Royce Corniche II on Pacific Coast Highway in the late 1990s. The police officer informed him that he resembled a wanted individual, but upon realizing that it was Gossett, the officer departed.

In his efforts to make the globe a racist-free zone, he established the Eracism Foundation.

Among the many shows that featured Gossett’s guest spots were “Bonanza,” “The Rockford Files,” “The Mod Squad,” “McCloud,” and “The Partridge Family,” where he had a notable turn opposite Richard Pryor.

Gossett was invited to the home of actor Sharon Tate in August 1969 while she was out partying with Mamas and Papas members. First, he went home to change into clean clothes and take a shower. Just as he was about to depart, he saw a news flash on TV regarding the murder of Tate. Charles Manson’s henchmen murdered her and others that night.

“There had to be a reason for my escaping this bullet,” he concluded.

Louis Cameron Gossett was born to nurses Hellen and Louis Sr. on May 27, 1936, in Brooklyn, New York, specifically in the Coney Island neighborhood. Subsequently, he decided to honor his father by adding Jr. to his name.

Playing the role of Fiddler in the seminal 1977 miniseries “Roots,” which portrayed the horrors of enslavement on television, Gossett made her television debut. Ben Vereen, LeVar Burton, and John Amos were all part of the extensive ensemble.

In 1983, Gossett became the third Black actor to be nominated for an Academy Award for supporting actor. His role as the imposing Marine drill instructor in “An Officer and a Gentleman” co-starring Richard Gere and Debra Winger earned him an Academy Award, although he was surprised to learn of his win when speaking with CBS News.

Saying, ‘They mentioned your name!’ my agent smacked me across the breast. The role earned Gossett a Golden Globe, and she opened out about how she had to stare at him because she thought she was asleep. There was cheering when I turned around. Apparently, it’s not feasible. Thus, it is an artifact from the past.

Going forward, Gossett claims he is able to pick out “good parts” in films because to his victory. When asked about his lengthy career in 2020, he told CBS News that he saw it as “a blessing” and planned to continue working for as long as he could.

“As long as I’m here, there is a job to do for the benefit of us all, for what it’s worth,” added the president.

Among Gossett’s television appearances are “Backstairs at the White House,” “The Josephine Baker Story” (for which he received another Golden Globe), “Roots Revisited,” and “The Story of Satchel Paige.” In the 2023 version of “The Color Purple,” he portrayed a stubborn patriarch.

Even after winning an Oscar, Gossett battled an addiction to cocaine and alcohol. He blamed his Malibu home for his toxic mold syndrome diagnosis, which he received while in rehabilitation.

Gossett revealed his diagnosis of prostate cancer in 2010, claiming it was detected at an early stage. He was admitted to the hospital in 2020 because to COVID-19.

Two boys, Satie (a producer-director) and Sharron (a chef)—the latter of whom he adopted after witnessing a TV feature on youngsters in desperate situations—survive him. Robert Gossett, an actor, is his first cousin.

The marriage between Gossett and Hattie Glascoe was nullified. Both of his second marriages—to Christina Mangosing in 1975 and performer Cyndi James-Reese in 1992—ended in divorce.

The collapse of the arena casts a shadow over the memory of Virginia Governor Youngkin, who arrived like a Republican star.

The collapse of the arena casts a shadow over the memory of Virginia Governor Youngkin, who arrived like a Republican star.

THE RICHMOND — No other governor of Virginia has gone into office with a more extensive history in the art of dealmaking than Glenn Youngkin, who, in his previous role as co-chief executive of the Carlyle Group, amassed a fortune via the acquisition and merger of businesses all over the world.

But as the Republican chief administrator of a purple state, Youngkin has struggled to translate his corporate expertise into political success — or even economic development success, as evidenced by the success of his much-touted effort to bring the Washington Wizards and Capitals to Alexandria, which was thwarted on Wednesday.

Despite the fact that Youngkin and his group of financial experts had successfully negotiated with the owner of the team, Ted Leonsis, to cut what the governor referred to as “the single largest economic development deal in the history of Virginia,” the governor was never able to achieve the same level of success with members of the General Assembly, who were required to give their approval for the $2 billion project.

An inexperienced politician who emerged on the scene in 2021 and garnered national recognition as a new face for the Republican Party is deprived of a huge opportunity to leave a lasting legacy as a result of the failure of the plan. Over the course of his first two years in office, Youngkin was able to take advantage of state coffers that were brimming with federal pandemic relief monies and a House of Delegates that was loyal to the Republican Party. However, as the governor’s four-year term draws to a close, he has noticed that his priorities have been slipping away and that Democrats have gained control of the legislature.

“At this point in time, he is a complete and utter failure,” said Robert Holsworth, a political analyst from Richmond who has spent decades researching the governors of Virginia. The political inexperience that he has displayed is quite remarkable.

However, Youngkin expressed his frustration with the Democratic-controlled state Senate for blocking the arena in an interview that took place on Thursday with The Washington Post. Youngkin defended his legacy as one of bipartisan accomplishments, such as passing tax cuts each of the previous two years and securing the only Lego manufacturing facility in the country.

it is necessary to produce. It wasn’t necessary for the Senate to conduct this,” he stated. Following the leadership of L. Louise Lucas, a Democrat from Portsmouth who serves as the chairwoman of the Finance and Appropriations Committee, the Senate was able to prevent a bill that would have allowed the arena and removed language from the state budget. Despite the fact that some Democrats in the House of Representatives initially voted in favor of the arena, the proposal was not well received in Alexandria, and it never managed to build a strong constituency in the General Assembly, where even some Republicans did not support it.

When Leonsis contacted Youngkin on Wednesday to announce that he was going to stay in the District instead, Youngkin expressed his disappointment but did not appear surprised by the news. As Youngkin put it, “I had a sneaking suspicion that he was anxious.” “There were options available to him, and listen, any business has options. Whenever I thought about it, I realized that if we didn’t say yes and put in the effort, he might go somewhere else.

The MPs had been told by Youngkin that if they did not approve the arena contract, it may be detrimental to the state’s renowned status as a favorable location for conducting business. The following is an excerpt from an interview that Leonsis gave to The Post on Wednesday: “My experience was that I had a better experience on the business side in D.C. than I just did in Virginia, which was really, really surprising and eye-opening.”

Those statements are hurtful in a state like Virginia, which boasts of being named by CNBC as the best state for business on two separate occasions (once under Youngkin and once under Ralph Northam, Youngkin’s Democratic predecessor). The previous year, it came in at number two.

In an interview, House Speaker Don L. Scott Jr., a Democrat from Portsmouth, stated that the previous governor, who was responsible for making the state number one for business for two consecutive years, was probably a lot more collaborative on these projects. In spite of the fact that Scott and Youngkin have built an improbable friendship by virtue of the fact that they participate in a weekly morning Bible study during the legislative session, Scott has criticized the governor for not doing enough to create support among lawmakers.

The statement that Scott made was as follows: “I believe that leadership is important, and style is important, and we did not have the leadership and style that is required to get a project like that done with so much at stake.”

When it came to Leonsis’s remark, Youngkin had a different perspective. According to what he said, “I believe he was openly acknowledging that the Senate did not carry out the work.” Youngkin stated that there was nothing that he would have done differently and that the evidence of the administration’s “good work” was the fact that the House of Delegates successfully passed arena legislation in the beginning.

Currently, Youngkin stated that it is up to Virginia to pick up the pieces. “I firmly believe that we have a lot of repair work to do as a state,” he added, vowing to continue making the case to businesses that they should be based here. “I also believe that we have a lot of other work to do.”
While the nation rebounded from the pandemic shutdowns, he presided over a resurgence of job creation. Additionally, with state income overflowing, Youngkin secured support from both parties for a total of $5 billion in tax cuts over the course of his first two years in office. Furthermore, he collaborated with members of the opposing party in order to improve financing for mental health services and teacher compensation.

An another Republican, Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, praised Youngkin’s legacy in a written statement that was released on Thursday. “For all this and more, the Governor can hold his head high,” Earle-Sears continued.

In spite of the fact that Youngkin has been successful in the private sector, he has been disappointingly unsuccessful in the domain of economic development throughout his tenure as governor. His efforts to convince the Biden administration to establish the new headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in Virginia were unsuccessful, and Maryland emerged victorious, despite the fact that the FBI itself preferred a location in Springfield. And when Ford Motor Company indicated interest in constructing a huge battery plant in Southside Virginia to supply electric vehicles, Youngkin himself stopped the transaction, citing fear that the operation was a front for a Chinese manufacturer. Youngkin, in turn, cited the risk that the business was a front for a Chinese manufacturer.

Instead of being moved to Michigan, the plant was relocated to Virginia, which is a place that is in dire need of employment opportunities.However, Youngkin has declared that he has reached agreements for the relocation of headquarters for Boeing and Raytheon, as well as the large Lego plant in Chesterfield County that is valued at one billion dollars. In response to a question on whether he believes there is a distinction between public and private dealmaking, as well as whether he has gained any knowledge, Youngkin stated that “it requires a General Assembly that wants to work with us.”

He stated that it is his obligation to provide opportunities that are favorable. In addition, Youngkin stated that he is of the opinion that his administration worked “tirelessly” to educate lawmakers and interact with them over the arena.

In contrast, Holsworth, the political analyst, stated that he observed a substantial difference between the manner in which Youngkin approaches major undertakings and the manner in which prior governors approached them. According to him, when Republican George Allen wanted to impose new education standards in the 1990s and had a Democratic legislature, the governor appointed prominent Virginia educators to key administration roles and mounted a campaign around the state to build support from lawmakers and local officials. All of this took place before any votes were taken about the matter.

Mark R. Warner, a Democrat, traveled a great distance throughout the state and delivered countless PowerPoint presentations in the 2000s in an effort to convince business groups and a Republican legislature that Virginia needed to raise taxes in order to maintain its high bond rating.

According to Holsworth, Youngkin did not make any such extensive efforts to clear the way for the arena or for a projected change of the state tax system that the governor implemented in December during the same time period. After the General Assembly closed on March 9, Youngkin instead began touring the state in order to campaign against what he refers to as the “backward budget” that was passed by lawmakers and to denounce the Senate for not backing the arena. He did this by appealing to handpicked Republican crowds. On the other hand, he is putting a number of Democratic initiatives on hold, including the ones that he vetoed on Thursday, which included proposals that would have increased the minimum wage and created a legal cannabis market. These are two of the most important concerns for Democrats.

When asked about it, Holsworth stated, “It’s just not a very keen understanding of the political dynamics of Virginia.”

It is now necessary for Youngkin to recover from the defeat of the arena and locate areas of agreement with the legislators who were responsible for its defeat in order to ensure that a state spending plan is approved before the end of the fiscal year on June 30. Otherwise, Virginia would experience a shutdown of the government on a scale never seen before.

Despite the fact that he has never regarded the arena to be a bargaining chip for the budget, Youngkin has expressed his optimism that he will be able to collaborate with Democratic leaders. According to what he said, “I need them to engage with me once again, but there is a budget that is common sense that we can deliver together that drives Virginia forward.”

He went on to say that for as long as that budget does not include any tax increases.

That, according to the leaders of the Democratic Party, is not a viable option.

Virginia GOP gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin's long Carlyle career

Because Youngkin had such a large amount of wealth, he was able to afford to forego more than one hundred million dollars in unvested stock options when he left from his position as co-chief executive officer of the Carlyle Group exactly one year ago. With a fortune that has now surpassed $300 million, he is utilizing those riches to assist in financing his campaign for governor. He is taking advantage of the early and frequent advertising that is being shown on the airwaves.

Youngkin’s method of accumulating riches is a topic that is not commonly known. Youngkin mentions joining Carlyle in 1995, when it was a “small start-up,” and observes that by the time he became co-CEO, the company had become a global economic behemoth. This commentary is included in an advertisement for a campaign.

Carlyle is one of the most important private equity firms in the world, and it occupies the center of the power structure in Washington while having just a few dozen employees in the year that he joined the company. However, this description obscures the unique nature of Carlyle, which is that it is one of the most influential firms in the world. By 1995, Carlyle had been in operation for eight years, claimed a former defense secretary as chairman, and had advised a member of the Saudi royal family on a $500 million investment in Citigroup. This was a far cry from the cliché of a few entrepreneurs working in a garage.

Youngkin's successful company career is both a political asset and a disadvantage for a candidate with no public office experience.

The very nature of private equity, which entails the purchase and sale of businesses, has occasionally been a source of frustration between politicians. In the course of his campaigns for president in 2008 and 2012, Republican Mitt Romney was subjected to intense criticism about his track record in private equity at the Boston firm Bain Capital. Concerns were made regarding the number of jobs that were eliminated or sent overseas as a result of the business’s investments.

The character of Carlyle is another one to consider.

Quentin Kidd, a political scientist at Christopher Newport University, stated that Republican voters have a sentimental attachment to prosperous businessmen. However, he went on to say that ever since Donald Trump was elected president, the Republican base has also been captivated by anti-establishment outsiders.

One of the things that made Trump appealing to Republican supporters was the fact that he had all of the success that they considered attractive in a businessman, but it was not success that was accepted by the establishment. In point of fact, he expressed his disapproval of the establishment. On the other hand, Youngkin is the complete antithesis of that,” Kidd explained.

In general, Youngkin was praised as a capable and collaborative manager by a few former Carlyle officials who were interviewed for this piece. All of these individuals talked on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss the tightly regulated corporation.

However, a number of individuals have expressed their dissatisfaction with the fact that a person whom they considered to be a corporate leader with a serious mindset has catered to the pro-Trump faction of the Republican Party. For example, they have been reluctant to acknowledge that President Biden was properly elected.

The approach that Youngkin used during the campaign, which consisted of being hesitant to roll out policy recommendations and fast to back the controversial former president, was aggravating, according to a former executive at Carlyle. “I wouldn’t have done that,” said the executive stated. It’s hard for me to even begin to comprehend what Glenn’s plan is. However, politics is a shady industry, and you have to deal with a large number of voters who are ruled by their emotions.

In response to a question about whether or not the same enthusiasm extended to Youngkin’s political activities, a former executive at Carlyle lauded Youngkin’s corporate achievements but declined to comment either way.

This individual stated, “I do not have any insight into any of that,” indicating that they would not explore the subject further.

Another individual who had previously worked with Carlyle made the observation that “you don’t see a lot of Carlyle people coming out and supporting him.”

In response to this article’s request for an interview with Youngkin, his campaign refuses to make him publicly available. A representative from Carlyle declined to comment on the matter.

The wealthy and powerful

The collapse of the arena casts a shadow over the memory of Virginia Governor Youngkin, who arrived like a Republican star.

Prior to entering the corporate sector, Youngkin, who is now 54 years old and played basketball at Rice University in Houston, had undergraduate degrees in mechanical engineering and management studies. After earning his Master of Business Administration from Harvard, he served as an analyst at McKinsey & Company until joining Carlyle in 1995.

Legal, political, and business circles in Washington, DC were the originators of the company, which had been established in 1987. Within a short period of time, three individuals came together to establish its brain trust. These individuals were David Rubenstein, a former official in the Carter administration, Daniel D’Aniello, a former executive at Marriott, and William E. Conway Jr., a former executive at MCI Communications.

The state capital of Washington was a major zero on the national financial scene at that period. On the other hand, Rubenstein had a realization that ended up characterizing Carlyle: wealthy and powerful individuals have a tendency to socialize with one another. If he was able to make that arrangement, there would be chances to make agreements.

Therefore, they appointed Frank Carlucci, a former defense secretary, to the position of chairman, marking the beginning of a long series of A-list politicians who have either served as consultants or executives for Carlyle. Former President George H.W. Bush, former Prime Minister John Major of the United Kingdom, and former Secretary of State James Baker III were all major heavyweights who played roles in those early years, creating connections and making fortunes.

In the beginning, the company’s primary focus was on purchasing aerospace and defense industries, managing them for a period of time, and then selling them off.

Carlyle became so closely associated with the ruling class, and in especially with links in the Middle East, that it became the subject of conspiracy theories on a regular basis. Its reputation was not helped by the fact that a half brother of Osama bin Laden was attending a Carlyle conference in a hotel in Washington, DC, at the time that the twin towers collapsed on September 11, 2001.

The Texas Rangers are getting ready for an Opening Day in Arlington that will be unforgettable.

The Texas Rangers are getting ready for an Opening Day in Arlington that will be unforgettable.

The Texas Rangers are getting ready for an Opening Day in Arlington that will be unforgettable.

In Arlington, Texas, this Opening Day will be unlike any other that has ever been experienced. Prior to the first pitch of their game against the Chicago Cubs at 6:30 p.m., the Texas Rangers will unfurl a World Championship banner.
Following that, the Texas Rangers will undertake the task of defending their world title. It has been twenty-four years since the New York Yankees won three consecutive World Series titles from 1998 to 2000, and this is the first time that this accomplishment has been achieved in Major League Baseball.
It would appear that the Rangers have the potential to become yet another team that is a genuine contender for the championship. They bring back manager Bruce Bochy, who has won four World Series titles, as well as a daily lineup that has the potential to be even more powerful than the one they brought back from the previous season, which was the most productive in the American League, averaging 5.44 runs per game.
Even among the players that received the most attention during Spring Training in Surprise, Arizona, players such as All-Stars Corey Seager, Adolis Garcia, Marcus Semien, Jonah Heim, and Josh Jung were not the most talked about. Rather than that, the acclaim and praise have been saved for Evan Carter and Wyatt Langford have been the recipients of the acclaim that has been bestowed upon.

In the autumn of last year, Carter’s teammates gave him the moniker “Little Savior,” who is now 21 years old. This nickname was given to him when he ignited the Rangers offense after being brought up to the major leagues in September. Carter’s nine doubles at the postseason level set a new record.

However, when it comes to the exaggeration that surrounds Spring Training, even Carter has been pushed to the background in favor of Langford, who is 22 years old. This spring, Langford led the major leagues in runs batted in with twenty, slugging six home runs and batting.365. He was selected fourth overall in the draft that took place last summer, and he was a graduate of the University of Florida.

At the beginning of the season, the Rangers are plagued with a number of uncertainties. First baseman Nathaniel Lowe is currently being treated for an oblique ailment and is listed on the injured list. As a replacement for Lowe, veteran newcomer Jared Walsh and Ezequiel Duran will take turns playing the position. As a result of their respective illnesses, shortstop Seager and third baseman Jung each participated in only three exhibition games during their respective recovery periods.

Ace of the staff Nathan Eovaldi, who has been in excellent form throughout the spring, will receive the start against the Cubs in the first game of the season. Jon Gray, Andrew Heaney, and Dane Dunning are all veterans who are included in the remaining members of the rotation. Young Cody Bradford is currently filling in for the rotation, at least until newly hired Michael Lorenzen has developed his arm strength.

As a result of the return of closer Jose LeClerc and Josh Sborz, who recorded the final out of the World Series, the bullpen has undergone some adjustments. These changes include the signing of veterans David Robertson and Kirby Yates to supplement the already established bullpen.

If all goes according to plan with the rehabilitation of Max Scherzer, Tyler Mahle, and Jacob deGrom, there will be potential additions to the pitching staff this summer that may be considered to be top-tier. However, before that occurs, there is a great deal of work to be done and games to be won, and it all begins today, on the most significant Opening Night in the history of the Texas Rangers, who have won the World Championship seven times.

Cancelled! TV shows that are not going to be renewed, along with the salaries of the cast members that will be leaving the show.

LorMost people have the misconception that receiving a leading part in a massive summer blockbuster is necessary in order to achieve success in Hollywood. On the other hand, in recent years, an increasing number of celebrities are opting to pursue careers in television, which is undergoing a period of revival, according to some. In addition to this, having a hit show means that you will have guaranteed employment (and paychecks) for a longer period of time.

On the other hand, even the most popular television programs are not always able to connect with their viewers, and as a result, it is not uncommon for networks to completely cancel them. It makes no difference if they have been broadcasting for decades or if they are just starting out from nothing. In this article, we will examine some of the television shows that will not be returning in the years 2023 and 2024, as well as the stars that will be affected by this decision

A 25-years in prison term was handed down to Sam Bankman-Fried for his part in the downfall of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange

On Thursday, former bitcoin billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried was given a sentence of 25 years in prison for his role in the commission of one of the most significant financial crimes in the history of the United States federal government.

During the month of November, Bankman-Fried, who was 32 years old at the time, was found guilty on seven counts of fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering, in addition to those charges of conspiracy to commit commodities and securities fraud.

According to the federal sentencing guidelines, Bankman-Fried could have been sentenced to up to 110 years in prison; however, the prosecution had requested that Judge Lewis Kaplan sentence Bankman-Fried to between 40 and 50 years in jail for what they referred to as a “historic fraud.” The legal team for Bankman-Fried had advocated for a sentence of no more than six and a half years, stating that it was highly unlikely that he would commit another crime.

Kaplan stated that the 25-year sentence reflected “that there is a risk that this man will be in position to do something very bad in the future.” This statement was made at the hearing that took place on Thursday. And it is not a risk that is negligible in any way.” The judge stated that the procedure was carried out “for the purpose of disabling him to the extent that can appropriately be done for a significant period of time.”

The United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, stated that the sentence conveys “an important message to others who might be tempted to engage in financial crimes that justice will be swift, and the consequences will be severe.” Williams made this statement in reference to the punishment.

The legal representatives for Bankman-Fried contended that their client had never intended to deceive customers, and that as a result, Judge Kaplan ought to be more lenient.

The defense attorney Marc Mukasey was quoted as saying, “Sam was not a ruthless financial serial killer who set out every morning to hurt people,” according to Reuters. According to the report, Mukasey referred to his client as a “awkward math nerd” who attempted to return the money that customers had paid to FTX after the company went bankrupt.

Although it is anticipated that Bankman-Fried would file an appeal against his conviction, Andrey Spektor, a former federal prosecutor, stated that there is a little probability that the verdict will be overturned against him. Spektor stated, “There is nothing anyone can do about that,” and went on to say that although Bankman-Fried could have received a sentence that was even longer, “I don’t think SBF and his family are celebrating a 25-year term.”

Although there were legal experts who believed that Bankman-Fried’s education and professional contacts would result in a greater degree of leniency, there were also those who anticipated a more severe punishment.

I guess you could say that I was somewhere in the middle. I immediately came to the realization that this time — and this crime — was different, and that the judge was genuinely going to hold him accountable for his acts,” said Anat Alon-Beck, a professor of business law at Case Western Reserve University.

Bankman-Fried’s sentence was likened to that of Elizabeth Holmes, a disgraced entrepreneur from Silicon Valley who is currently serving a sentence of 11.5 years in jail for scamming investors. Alon-Beck made this comparison for clarification. Alon-Beck stated that the sentence for SBF was more than twice as long as the average penalty.

Reports from Reuters indicate that Bankman-Fried expressed his regret to his former coworkers at FTX at the sentence hearing. “They invested a significant amount of themselves in it, and I threw away all of that effort.” Bankman-Fried expressed her regret to the judge, saying, “I’m sorry about that.” “It haunts me every day,” she said. I am sorry for all that unfolded at each and every level. What I ought to have done and said, as well as what I ought not to have done and said.

The conviction of Bankman-Fried occurred in the fall of 2022, following the shocking collapse of FTX, the cryptocurrency trading platform that he had co-founded and previously headed as CEO. The collapse occurred in the midst of a $8 billion shortage in money. He was accused of using the money from his depositors to prop up his struggling hedge fund, as well as using the money to acquire luxury properties in the Caribbean and to make gifts to a variety of causes. The trial was held and he was found guilty of all of these charges.
FTX was previously the second-largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, enabling users to buy and sell dozens of different virtual currencies. At the same time, Bankman-Fried’s wealth was reported to be more than $30 billion. Bankman-Fried, who was awash in billions of dollars of cash from investors, purchased the naming rights to an arena that is used by the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and ran an advertising during the Super Bowl to promote FTX.
Nevertheless, the decline in the value of cryptocurrencies in 2022 was a crippling event for FTX, which finally led to its demise. In the past, Alameda Research, which is a subsidiary of FTX, had made billions of dollars in cryptocurrency investments that had experienced a significant decline in value. It was alleged by the prosecution that Bankman-Fried attempted to strengthen Alameda’s financial sheet by using monies from FTX customers.
Bankman-Fried was the subject of testimony from three former FTX associates who had already pleaded guilty to offenses linked to the case. Caroline Ellison, who had previously been in a romantic relationship with Bankman-Fried, was one of the individuals who claimed that he had put her under pressure to commit fraud.

Bruce Springsteen & ‘Nebraska’; Scott Cooper Directing, Jeremy Allen White Circling With A24; Ellen Goldsmith-Vein & Eric Robinson Making the Dish

After leaving his position as the head of Netflix Film, Scott Stuber has collaborated with Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Eric Robinson of Gotham Group to produce a film about The Boss. This is Stuber’s first significant film project since leaving his position. Scott Cooper will be in charge of directing the narrative feature film Deliver Me from Nowhere. The film will tell the story of Bruce Springsteen and the lengthy process that he went through in order to put together his iconic album Nebraska, which was released in 1982. The album began to take shape when Springsteen and the E Street Band were recording music for his big success album Born in the USA. It is a reimagining of Warren Zanes’ book, which came out the year before.

Bruce Springsteen & ‘Nebraska’; Scott Cooper Directing, Jeremy Allen White Circling With A24; Ellen Goldsmith-Vein & Eric Robinson Making the Dish

Jeremy Allen White, who starred in The Bear, is the leading candidate to play Springsteen, and discussions with A24 are currently taking place to produce the film. Even though negotiations have not yet commenced with the actor, it is expected that he would travel to New Jersey for a fall shoot once the Emmy winner completes the fourth season of The Bear in June

Springsteen’s enormous success and standing as the best songwriter and melody creator over the course of decades is belied by the personal circumstances of an upbringing with a father who suffered from depression, which is something Springsteen has also struggled with. This is something that we have learnt. Many people consider Nebraska to be his most raw and greatest album. In 1982, he was experiencing the repercussions of the situation, and he poured a lot of that gloom onto the album. When he created those songs, he was in the process of dealing with the process of becoming a global sensation, and he did not actually mean to turn them into an album. He accomplished this feat by himself in a bedroom of a house that he rented in Colts Neck, New Jersey, using a straightforward four-track recorder.

One of the most significant influences on Springsteen was the film Badlands, which was directed by Terrence Malick. Springsteen addressed the film directly in the song “Nebraska,” as well as in other songs such as “Atlantic City,” “Highway Patrolman,” “State Trooper,” and many more. Each song is a timeless classic. His albums Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town, and The River all brought him a great deal of success, which led to this development. The sequel to The River was titled Nebraska, and subsequently the sequel to Born in the USA was released. Although the song that served as the title track of that album was about a dejected Vietnam veteran, it was such an anthem that its meaning was unclear for a considerable amount of time.

In 2009, Cooper made the shift from actor to writer-director with the release of Crazy Heart, a film with a musical theme. Crazy Heart was nominated for an Academy Award and won for star Jeff Bridges, as well as for T Bone Burnett and Ryan Bingham for their original song “The Weary Kind.” Maggie Gyllenhaal was also nominated for an Academy Award. The Boss is Cooper’s new boss, bringing him full circle.

Springsteen and his manager Jon Landau are both actively involved in the project, and additional information will be provided in the near future. The Boss has composed or contributed songs to films that have resonated with him, and in 1994, he was awarded the Academy Award for Best Original Song for his recording of “Streets of Philadelphia.” Despite the fact that he has created films based on individual albums in collaboration with Thom Zimny, this is a new territory for the star.

Netflix loses Scott Stuber. In March, he will establish his own media company after serving as Netflix film chairman since 2017.

This has been planned for a while now, since rumors have been circulating that his mentality differs from that of Netflix toppers, whose main goal has always been to create high-quality movies for streaming. Similar to how Apple secured traditional distributors to worldwide release Killers of the Flower Moon and Napoleon, other streamers have transformed into theatrical first windows for several of their big-budget films. While Netflix has made a few high-end theater acquisitions in eligible areas like LA and NY, its main business strategy is international streaming, which does not require the massive production costs that are typically associated with Hollywood blockbusters.

During this time, Stuber will remain on staff to assist with the transfer, and Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria will take charge until a permanent successor is found.

The conventional waterfall platform, which begins with the theatrical release, was Stuber’s indoctrination into filmmaking during his formative years as a producer at Universal. He’s got the capital to start a business that will probably use that model.

In his time at Netflix, he has completely revamped the company’s film slate. Under his wing, the streaming service has produced or acquired some of its most iconic features, including: Red Notice (still the most watched movie of all time), Bird Box, Hustle, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, All Quiet on the Western Front (winner of both an Oscar and a BAFTA), Pinocchio (Guillermo del Toro), The Adam Project, The Gray Man, The Power of the Dog (winner of both an Oscar and a BAFTA), Don’t Look Up, Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, Marriage Story, and Roma, which won Oscars.

Netflix was able to secure deals with A-list directors like Alfonso Cuarón, Spike Lee, Lee Daniels, Greta Gerwig, Zack Snyder, Susanne Bier, Rian Johnson, Jane Campion, and Martin Scorsese thanks to Stuber’s extensive network in the entertainment industry and his decades of expertise producing critically and commercially successful films.

As more and more streaming services have entered the market, star-driven films have become increasingly risky; for example, Red Notice and The Gray Man both made $200 million or more. Rian Johnson, Ram Bergman, and Daniel Craig’s Knives Out whodunit franchise was acquired by Netflix in a groundbreaking transaction worth over $400 million. Two films were received by them. From its Toronto premiere, the first, Glass Onion, was an enormous hit. Many speculated that Netflix’s infidelity with its streaming service was to blame for the fact that it failed to make a significant impact on the Oscar race. The majority of studios have racked up substantial debt trying to replicate Netflix’s model with their own streaming businesses, so it’s hard to say no. Many are still incurring losses.

Whoa, your teeth look really good!

The Bear Cast Discusses Season 3 Filming: Jeremy Allen White Discusses Carmy Hopes

At the Screen Actors Guild prizes, which took place on Saturday, the comedy series The Bear from FX ran away with all three of the top comedy series prizes. These awards were Best Ensemble, Best Actor for Jeremy Allen White, and Best Actress for Ayo Edebiri.
Since the show is presently in the production phase of its third season, White shared his thoughts behind the scenes about what he intends to accomplish with his character, Carmy.
“I was flying to Chicago and I got dropped a little note on a napkin while I was on the plane. All it said on it was, ‘I hope Carmy gets a happy ending.’ I think that’s all I really hoped for. That he learns how to understand himself a little bit better and appreciates what he has and then finds some peace.”
“I think a lot of the show is about found family and the connection we all are always searching for. What I want people to take away or understand, to me, is that it’s so much about loneliness and how to combat that. How to find belonging, how to communicate and connect. I hope those who watch it and enjoy it feel less alone,” he added later.
