Can green hydrogen escape the geopolitics of fossil fuels? MSc IR student Anjjali Shrivastav argues that power is shifting from control of resources to control of the rules governing hydrogen markets. As major economies set competing regulatory frameworks, developing producer countries face rising costs and limited influence — risking a transition that reproduces global inequalities in a new form. Green hydrogen is often presented as the clean break that will finally end the geopolitics of fossil fuels. Renewable energy, unlike oil and gas, is far more widely distributed. No single country possesses a monopoly over sunlight or wind in the…

How should businesses respond as geopolitics moves to the centre of decision-making? Silvia Pepino argues it is now a structural, systemic and strategic force reshaping how firms assess risk, value and opportunity. As global fragmentation deepens, geopolitical pressures are influencing supply chains, finance, technology and investment – making them central to long-term business strategy. Geopolitics is emerging as a major concern for business leaders and investors. This is reflected, for example, in global risk surveys, and in measures of geopolitical uncertainty. As geopolitical uncertainty rises, mirroring what has been referred to as the “return of history”, businesses and investors face…

The May jobs report blew past forecasts. Why is it taking six months to find a new job? Source link

Zarna Garg, a popular Indian comedian with a global fan base and nearly 2 million Instagram followers, rarely discusses her decision to perform at last year’s controversial Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia, but that changed during a new appearance on Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown podcast series as Garg connected it to a higher calling. “I really went with the spirit of if I’ve been ordained to do this by somebody, some higher power, it is my job to spread the message and to let women know that they can say what comes to their mind,” she told Bialik. “That slight…

Braun Strowman has a huge appetite for life. Speaking with “The Monster Among Men” in a Greenwich Village coffee shop ahead of his season-two launch party, a few things are immediately obvious. First, Adam Scherr (“WWE Icon” Strowman’s real name) is every bit as big as he’s billed, and second, he loves this food thing maybe even more than wrestling. You don’t get to 6’8″ and nearly 400 lb. (Scherr’s biggest) without doing a fair bit of eating. But to talk with the TV veterans around the USA Network series is to learn that Scherr is a legit foodie with…

When Mario Cuomo is discussed today, it’s most frequently in the context of how disappointing his son Andrew has become (and Chris, too, if you happen to work in the media), or his universally relevant observation that politicians “campaign in poetry and govern in prose.” It’s one of those maxims so indelible it’s hard to imagine that it emanated from any single person, and it hovers over every moment of Peter Kunhardt, George Kunhardt and Teddy Kunhardt’s new documentary, Mario, whether it’s being discussed or not. Mario The Bottom Line Dry but persuasive. Venue: Tribeca Festival (Spotlight Documentary)Directors: Peter Kunhardt,…

Dozens of advertising and media buying executives convened in late April at an event space near the west side of New York City, eager to get a look at what Paramount Skydance had to offer in its first “upfront” market under the control of CEO David Ellison. Attendees sat at long tables, dined on exquisitely prepared meats and fish, and listened to Ellison and actors from the company’s various “Yellowstone” programs talk about the alliances they might build with Madison Avenue. When the showcase ended, guests could sample from an array of desserts and hit a well-stocked bar far into…

The American Federation of Musicians is suing major record companies Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group over the labels’ recent moves to settle their lawsuits with AI music generators Suno and Udio, arguing that the settlements’ benefits aren’t reaching the musicians themselves. “While the Defendants protected their own interests and created a significant source of new revenue with the retrospective settlements and prospective licenses, they have refused to compensate the musicians whose work – created with their own instruments and through their talent, creativity, and hard work – is fed into AI machines for profit,” the AFM said in…

Lee Sung Jin, the creator, executive producer and director of “Beef,” and Jason Bateman, who executive produced, directed and starred in “Black Rabbit,” sat down with Variety’s Clayton Davis to discuss their directing techniques and stylistic choices. Variety moderated this conversation in partnership with Netflix.Lee – who directed one episode in “Beef” Season 1 – spoke about taking on a larger directing role in Season 2, saying he wanted to “push the surrealism a little bit more.” Bateman, who joined the Director’s Guild of America at the age of 18, mentioned that he grew up acting and began paying attention…
