Kyle Cooke didn’t hold back when he addressed his estranged wife, Amanda Batula, during the “In The City” finale. During their conversation, Cooke called Batula out for lying to him about her relationship with their “Summer House” co-star, West Wilson. For those who may be unfamiliar, things exploded in the Bravosphere in March 2026 when Batula and Wilson confirmed they were in a romantic relationship after weeks of denying it. While their romance isn’t a crime, it surprised fans and their inner circle due to Batula’s former friendship with Wilson’s ex-girlfriend, Ciara Miller. “It just makes me so f—ing upset,”…

Health plans are under pressure to do more on every front: deliver more personalized member experiences, improve quality and Stars performance, manage risk and payment accuracy, reduce administrative waste, and prepare the enterprise for AI. But many payer transformation efforts run into the same foundational barrier: fragmented, inconsistent, and disconnected data across member, provider, claims, care management, engagement, and analytics systems. In a webinar sponsored by Verato, scheduled for July 22 from 1 pm to 2 pm ET, executives from Verato, Scan Health Plan and the Alliance of Community Health Plans will explore why the next era of payer performance…

Four videos in six and a half months, a very long list of names and threats and, above all, ubiquitous warlike paraphernalia: weapons, bulletproof vests, helmets. A branch of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) is running a full-blown propaganda campaign in the south of Mexico City, the State of Mexico, and Morelos, criticizing the tactics of rival criminal groups in short videos. They condemn extortion, accuse others of usurping their brand and announce major “cleanups” of local gangs. Sometimes they single out politicians and local officials; on other occasions they ask that no one be protected. They say they…

Golf‘s major season draws to a close this week as The Open heads to the dramatic surrounds of Royal Birkdale. The Southport course, famed for its unique Oceanliner clubhouse, has not hosted The Open since Jordan Spieth’s triumph in 2017. Its 11th staging of golf’s oldest major comes with another American defending the title, as Scottie Scheffler aims to retain the Claret Jug after his outstanding performance at Royal Portrush last year. But a course regarded as the “fairest test in golf” will present Scheffler and the field with what Jon Rahm this week described as an “unprecedented” Open challenge.…

The cast of “Love Island” season 8 has officially exited the villa, and some of them didn’t receive a warm welcome back to social media. Following the conclusion of the season, the final four contestants, Carl Schmidt and Aniya Harvey, Sincere Rhea and Melanie Moreno, Zach Georgiou and Kayda Bosse, and Bryce Dettloff and Trinity Tatum, have been adjusting to life in the real world. While some have been greeted with messages of support from brands and even millions of followers, others, like Georgiou, have been subjected to hate comments and incessant trolling. The criticism was enough for season 8…

Physical badges used to be all you needed for identity management at a company. But with humans now working alongside machines and AI agents in digital environments, even the identity tools built for the cloud era are proving inadequate. That’s the gap Israeli startup Oak is stepping out of stealth to fill, it says. Co-founded by serial entrepreneur Shai Morag, the company has been quietly building a unified control plane that governs identity across an organization, and is now emerging publicly with its product generally available and already deployed by enterprise clients, backed by $60 million in seed funding that…

But Keyli Loeppky, one of the authors of the report, The State of Internal Trade, said governments should expect harsher grading next year because CFIB will be looking for tangible results. Loeppky, CFIB’s senior director for Alberta and interprovincial affairs, also said that the group wants to see the federal government start to use its ability to penalize and reward provinces for working to tear down trade walls.

Citing an alleged attack against Dishon Limited in Concord, Ontario, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs is again calling for the federal government to list Palestine Action Canada (PAC) as a terrorist organization. “At a time when Canada has rightly identified its defence industry as essential to our national and economic security, terrorists are ‘taking matters into their own hands’ to harm businesses and the Canadians they employ,” said the CIJA in a Monday post on X. At a time when Canada has rightly identified its defence industry as essential to our national and economic security, terrorists are “taking…
