Dealing with death is already emotionally and mentally tough, but unfortunately, the financial side of it isn't always straightforward and easily dealt with. The implications depend on your relationship with the deceased, the types of assets left behind, and the accounts those assets are held in. The most common accounts left behind are retirement accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs because many working adults have them. They can be a financial blessing to those they're left behind, but it's important to understand where they function similarly and differently. The difference could alter how you treat them.

The architect of the African Union’s reparations framework for the historic UN resolution explains why demands for historical justice are inseparable from the struggle for Black sovereignty Last month, at commemorations marking the 25th anniversary of France’s Taubira law recognising the trafficking of enslaved Africans as a crime against humanity, Emmanuel Macron did the unthinkable: he became the first French president to publicly utter the word “reparations”. Since 1825, when France punished Haiti for daring to declare itself the western world’s first Black sovereign republic by extorting 150m francs in compensation for the loss of what it regarded as enslaved “property”, reparations to Black peoples and nations have been politically “unthinkable”.

As Rosamund Pike found out recently on stage, many people now experience the arts simply as content to be documented for likes and shares Have we lost the ability to surrender to a story? Surely, if there’s any narrative that deserves our undivided attention, it’s that of a crown court judge fighting the legal system’s approach to sexual violence against women, when she discovers her own son has been accused of rape. But as Rosamund Pike discovered last weekend, even such a visceral and emotionally demanding drama wasn’t enough to keep everyone in the room absorbed. Pike made headlines when she walked back on stage at London’s Wyndham’s theatre after the curtain call for Inter Alia – not for a solo bow, but to remonstrate with an audience member for texting during the climax of her performance. “Maybe it was very important, and maybe you’re a doctor, and you’re saving someone’s life, and I hope you are,” she said. “But we do see these, we do feel them. I feel like I’ve got to hold you all, so when I feel that and see it, it’s hard.” Nadia Khomami is arts and culture correspondent at the Guardian Continue reading...

I love soccer. But absurd ticket prices and odious politics are keeping me away from the stadiums Forgive me if I’m not excited for the World Cup. After a heartbreaking loss for my beloved Arsenal in the Champions League Final, I’d love a break from soccer. A respite from the drama and misery of the beautiful game would do a lot of good for my soul right now. But Fifa, the sport’s sprawling governing body, doesn’t have time for me to lick my wounds. They demand my wallet. With the World Cup coming to North America, I have no chance of escaping the monstrous hype, even if I can’t even imagine affording the exorbitant ticket prices. Thousands of seats remain available for the US’s opening group stage match against Paraguay in Los Angeles, which was an unthinkable result when the competition was awarded to the US, Mexico and Canada.

Paramount Skydance Corp. is prepared — if necessary — to divest some children’s TV network assets to help win European Union approval of its $110 billion bid for Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. While Paramount is hoping to avoid selling off anything, it’s open to sacrificing kids channels if the EU raises red flags over overlaps that pose a threat to competition, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke under condition of anonymity. They added that the company is yet to make a decision on if, or when, it would submit formal remedies as the clock ticks toward the EU’s initial July 7 deadline to clear the blockbuster deal or open an-depth review. Scrutiny from the Brussels-based European Commission is one of the last hurdles Paramount Chief Executive Officer David Ellison must overcome after outmaneuvering rival suitor Netflix Inc. with multiple bids over more than five months, visits to Washington, meetings with shareholders and President Donald Trump and the personal backing of his billionaire father Larry Ellison . The transaction, if approved by global regulators , would give the Ellison family control of one of the most powerful media empires in the world. The takeover unites two Hollywood studios behind legendary films from Casablanca and Harry Potter to Mission: Impossible; two major news networks in CNN and CBS; the streaming powerhouse HBO Max and dozens of cable networks. It also brings together Paramount’s Nickelodeon and Warner Bros Discovery’s Cartoon Network , two of the best-known children’s television brands in Europe — a market where about half of all kids channels are US -owned. “It’s certainly likely that the commission will scrutinize overlaps between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery in the wholesale supply of children’s television channels” across the region, said Jennifer Rie , a Bloomberg Intelligence analyst. “Concerns would be raised if combined market shares exceed 40% in any country.” Kids content isn’t the only potential pitfa...

Paris Riots Fuel The Right: Jordan Bardella Reaches Record High Approval Via Remix News, With French national elections approaching in 2027, the mass riots seen in Paris following the PSG victory in the Champions League are leading to an even sharper electoral shift towards the right-leaning National Rally’s Jordan Bardella. Verian’s June barometer, published by Le Figaro Magazine, places Jordan Bardella at the top of political figures, with 47 percent of those questioned wanting to see him occupy an important place in public life. This rating, up six points in one month, reveals a record result for the National Rally. Marine Le Pen comes in second position and is also progressing. Several other personalities located on the right are also rising in the ranking, including Marion Maréchal, Éric Ciotti and Robert Ménard. The riots in Paris left stores and cars burned out and resulted in 890 arrests, 180 officers injured, and two deaths. The apocalyptic videos from the riots also sent shockwaves through the French public. While these polls cannot predict the election, they underline data showing that Bardella or Le Pen are well positioned to win the presidency in 2027 elections. 🇫🇷🔴"He’s scared, he’s scared... Why are you trembling like a trembling d**k? You’re scared? You son of a wh*re?" "I’ll f**k your mother, you wh*re.... Go die, old man, go die."

A poll from a week ago from Odoxa showed Bardella beating former Prime Minister Édouard Philippe 52 to 48 percent. Other potential candidates, such as the far-left Jean-Luc Mélenchon, were also beaten by wide margins, with polling showing Bardella nearly 50 points ahead of him, at 74 percent to 26 percent, illustrating the France’s distate for Mélenchon’s poli...
