It’s the final match for the teams before MLS takes its two-month World Cup break, which can’t come fast enough for the sides. Both have suffered through a mostly disappointing opening…

Gwyneth Paltrow wrapped a filming day this week and let her Instagram followers tag along for her evening skin care routine. She posted a video of her “get-unready ritual” with Goop Beauty, pointing viewers to goop.com for the full product lineup. The message was straightforward: “After a long shoot day, there’s nothing better than washing it all off. sharing my get-unready ritual with @goopbeauty, everything available on goop.com.” This kind of content is what Goop was always meant to be. Gwyneth founded the brand in 2008 as a weekly email newsletter covering recipes, travel, and wellness. It grew into a…

Last summer, I stumbled onto a brilliantly useful tool that ended up being one of the most well-received discoveries we’ve ever shared in these quarters. It was seemingly so popular, in fact, that its hobbyist nature couldn’t keep up with the demand. The service struggled to juggle all the requests we (and other enchantingly informed internet-dwellers) sent its way. I lost count of the number of emails I received from readers who were wondering why their requests to the service were taking longer and longer to result in any action—if any action ever even occurred. That tool was a simple…

Rising artist Petti Hendrix is both introducing himself and embracing pure mayhem with his latest single and video, “APESHIT,” out now via MDDN Records. Taking a “guerrilla-style” approach, the track drops exclusively on YouTube, making the video and visual experience the only way listeners can truly tap in. The song came together on a trip to Nashville, where Hendrix linked with acclaimed producers Nick Bailey and Andy K. Bailey — whose collective résumé spans an eclectic range of artists including Lana Del Rey, Quavo, Maroon 5, Sum 41, Blake Shelton, and more — adding yet another layer to the genre-agnostic…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Most companies treat resilience as something you demonstrate in a crisis. In reality, by the time a crisis arrives, the outcome is already in motion. Systems, leadership and culture are either built for pressure — or they are not. Across high-growth companies, turnarounds and startups, the same pattern shows up: the organizations that navigate disruption best are not improvising in the moment. They are executing on foundations built when conditions were stable. Here is what they do differently.They design for flexibility — not just efficiencyLeadership teams often say they value adaptability, but…

Mahmoud Khalil, a prominent Palestinian student who led anti-Israel protests at Columbia University, vowed to take his battle against deportation to the Supreme Court after losing yet another round in the lower courts. Mr. Khalil’s lawyers also said they will ask the courts to block ICE from arresting him, allowing him to remain free while he makes his appeals to avoid ouster. The moves came after a federal appeals court declined to revisit a ruling earlier this year that said a lower court was wrong to step in and halt Mr. Khalil’s deportation. The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals…

In Danielle Smith’s Alberta, if the facts don’t support your argument, you can make up new facts.  Alberta’s premier demonstrated this capacity yesterday evening in her delusional 15-minute televised address to the province wherein she set out to explain the differences between the Canadian and United States constitutions in order to justify holding a referendum on Alberta separation.  Claiming Canada was founded on the principle of strong provinces, Smith continued: “Canada is very different from the United States and many other Western democracies. For example, the U.S. centralizes the majority of power and decision-making in its federal government. In Canada, we chose a…

AI woes are coming for the food service industry, and social media can’t help but celebrate. This week, both Starbucks and Pizza Hut made headlines for negative news about their internal applications of artificial intelligence. At Starbucks, an inventory tool got the chop after making frequent counting mistakes, while at Pizza Hut, a delivery tool drove a franchisee to file a lawsuit. Social media users are saying the two stories may point to a larger trend—that for the first time in the AI era, more companies will pull away from AI than embrace it. Starbucks walks back an AI tool…
