| Entrepreneurship

When the gender equity legislation known as Title IX became law in 1972, the politics of transgender sports was not even a blip in the national conversation. Today, it is one of the sharpest dividing points in American culture. As the transformational law heads into its second half-century on the books, the Biden administration wants transgender athletes to enjoy the same protections Title IX originally gave to women when it was passed 50 years ago. That stance is at...

DENVER (AP) — What emerged from the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday night wasn’t their championship pedigree or vaunted ability to bounce back but frayed nerves and maybe a realization that the Colorado Avalanche are coming swiftly for their crown. Outmuscled. Outhustled. Out-tussled. Andrei Vasilevskiy and the two-time reigning Stanley Cup champions were thumped 7-0 by the Avalanche, losing not only the game but their cool and their mojo in the process. This marked just the second time in...

ISLAMABAD (AP) — The U.N. representative in Afghanistan lamented in her farewell statement Thursday the harsh edicts that the Taliban have imposed on girls and women since they seized power in the country, denying them the right to education and work and forcing millions to stay at home.

Review: Sorry, Pixar’s ‘Lightyear’ is a buzzkill

June 14, 2022

| Entrepreneurship

“In 1995, Andy got a toy from his favorite movie. This is that movie.” So begins “Lightyear,” a new Pixar release that takes a meta approach to the animation studio’s flagship franchise. It isn’t a prequel to “Toy Story,” exactly, but instead presents the movie that inspired Buzz Lightyear toys in the first place. It’s a potentially clever bit of reverse engineering by the Walt Disney Co., which, after decades of growing merchandizing out of its films, has reversed...

Nueva York (CNN Business) — William Shatner, el actor, presentador, poeta de la palabra hablada, autor de 90 años y, más recientemente, la persona de mayor edad en viajar al espacio, no da muestras de bajar el ritmo.
