To honour a decade since the debut of their smash-hit cultural powerhouse sci-fi adventure series, Stranger Things, Netflix has unveiled a special rework of the first season in VHS footage to embody its 1980s setting. This new format includes revised audio and an overlay of retro visuals, allowing viewers to watch the show the same way the protagonists of the series would, except for the video store rental. “Rewind and relive the first season with a video store vibe that’s glitchy, grainy and gloriously vintage,” Netflix shares. “Just like you’d have rented it in 1983.” In case you’ve been living…

The 66-year-old was lured out of retirement to fill the Lions’ mid-season vacancy at special teams coordinator on Monday, but he certainly doesn’t act like someone plucked out of the rocking chair. McKnight’s gait might be slower, and he may need some added IT assistance in team meetings, but whenever “old” is used as an adjective to describe him, it is always followed by a far more important noun. “He’s…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

Entrepreneurs are often told to be “data-driven.” In theory, that sounds simple: gather the numbers, analyze the trends and make the most logical decision.

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. In 2025, ROMTech had a problem most startups would envy: far more demand than it could immediately fulfill. The Connecticut-based company makes the PortableConnect, a connected rehabilitation device that lets patients recovering from orthopedic surgery complete therapy at home while clinicians monitor their progress remotely. As orders accelerated, CEO Peter Arn made a decision that runs counter to most growth-stage playbooks: he made revenue wait. The company kept growing, but deliberately moderated its expansion while strengthening the operational infrastructure and clinical oversight required for larger scale. It meant leaving some short-term revenue on…

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not jumping on the push by her fellow Democratic Socialists of America to abolish the Senate. Instead, the New York Democrat is looking for wiggle room, arguing the upper chamber needs significant changes while also saying that eliminating it would be a heavy lift. “That is, of course, a constitutional question,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez told reporters on Capitol Hill when pressed Thursday about DSA’s plan to remake the legislative branch. The DSA’s newly approved platform calls for doing away with the Senate and replacing the presidency with a prime minister-style executive and judiciary chosen by — and…
The 17-minute puppet stop-motion animation and cut-out animation using hand-crafted sets and miniature architecture is set in 1992, during the final summer before war devastates Sokhumi, and follows a 13-year boy as he discovers a love he has never known before, only to meet him decades later, when he returns to the ruined city, when memory, childhood and loss begin to merge. This is a nostalgic and painful film for both its director, who spent his childhood summers at the seaside in Abkhazia, and also for its producer, Vladimer Katcharava of 20Steps Productions, who is originally from Sokhumi.
