There’s something deeply rich about proving people wrong. The ones who stood in front of your confidence by refusing to believe you were good enough. The legacy of that misdirection gathers power over time, a firm reminder that the people who doubt you can also be the ones who help make you. Take Bruce Willis for example. Back in the mid-to-late 1980s, he wasn’t known for much more than comedy. Moonlighting and a breakthrough film debut in Blind Date pegged Willis as a career funnyman, not the guy who would dive off the top of Nakatomi Plaza trying to save innocent bystanders in a tank top and no shoes.

I created the subheading specifically to calm the nerves of passionate long-distance runners.

In the investment management profession, which is my line of work, analysts create three scenarios to submit as an investment thesis for the evaluation of an investment to their investment committee:

Share Did you know about this? It’s true: Gutfeld! — the Fox News comedy starring Greg Gutfeld that launched last year — is the highest-rated political comedy show on cable. And by a lot: It has twice as many viewers as the second-place show, three times as many as any other show, and more than four times as many viewers as The Daily Show, which was arguably the seminal show of the genre.

By that point, Apple had been running its $10-a-month news subscription service for about a year, and the NYT’s pullout was an early indication that Apple News wasn’t producing significant returns for publishers.

I have been doing the work of reporting on all of the terrible things happening in our world for YEARS now - in some serious detail. And it started to seriously take its toll on me. Human trafficking DESTROYED my soul to report on. Several times, I vomited while researching stories. I didn’t think I was, but I was holding all of that pain right in my heart space. Political corruption?

Hi, I’m Renée, a finance and business journalist, writer and content strategist. The Budgette is about single finances and is published twice a month to more than 2,000 subscribers. I prefer to write when I have something to say versus writing because I have to. It gives me time to speak to financial, legal and other experts. When I’m not here, I write and do strategy for other publications and brands.

Hello my good humans and welcome to the new series of articles I very imaginatively have named “The Science in Video Games”. What this means is that every so often (do you like how non-committal that is?) I will choose a video game and break down a specific aspect of it and figure out the science behind the events, effects, or anything else that happens in the game.

Do you value the work that makes this happen twice a week, every week…that makes you think and introduces you to new thinkers and books and just generally thinking more about the culture that surrounds you?

Bonjour from Paris, where I’m doing some reporting for an upcoming newsletter, and welcome to Jaques, your biweekly guide to the international theater industry. In this edition’s SPOTLIGHT STORY I pick apart the complicated knot of factors that make creating a new Broadway musical so, so much more expensive than making the same musical for the West End. But first: a look at what’s going on around the world. A big-budget stage prequel to the Netflix smash, Stranger Things: The First Shadow started West End performances of a special effects-heavy production directed by Stephen Daldry.
