PAGE ONE: INSIDE THE NEW YORK TIMES deftly gains unprecedented access to The New York Times newsroom and the inner workings of the Media Desk. With the Internet surpassing print as the main news source and newspapers all over the country going bankrupt, PAGE ONE chronicles the transformation of the media industry at its time of greatest turmoil. It gives us an up-close look at the vibrant cross-cubicle debates and collaborations, tenacious jockeying for on-the-record quotes, and skillful page-one pitching that produce the “daily miracle” of a great news organization. What emerges is a nuanced portrait of journalists continuing to produce extraordinary work under increasingly difficult circumstances.
At the heart of the film is the burning question on the minds of everyone who cares about a rigorous American press, Times lover or not: what will happen if the fast-moving future of media leaves behind the fact-based, original reporting that helps to define our society?

“Succeeding with paid was not about how good your ROAS was. What the paid experts did so well was they had built a business model structurally that allowed them to put as much money as they possible into that paid engine.”

Andrew Youderian surveyed 300 store owners representing $3.5 billion in revenue for the sixth annual eComFuel Trends Report, and the data broke four things Shopify merchants have been told were true. AI adoption is at 72% and producing zero financial edge. Non-AI adopters are growing profits faster than adopters. Amazon’s share of revenue is back to 2017 levels while more brands than ever are selling on it. Gross margins hit an all-time high the same year net margins hit an all-time low.

My Credentials:

My papa Dave opened Chicago’s first BBQ meat market at 38th and State. He taught me live fire cooking 60 years ago—As a 3rd generation pit master, I operated a very successful catering company for 30 years. I have prepared every menu item in my cookbook and videos 1000s of times. And, unlike many creators who do either 420 or barbeque they don’t possess the provenance and credentials in my arsenal.

As a 3rd generation pitmaster historian, and cookbook author merging BBQ and cannabis cooking. I’ve been teaching smoking & grilling techniques for nearly 5 decades. 1980 – first time I cooked with dope. I know good living begins with great food, weed and booze, if those are your poisons, all in moderation along with daily exercise. With your assistance I’ll show you how to combine traditional smoking and grilling techniques with my unique pot and herbal infusion methods.

MY TRANSFORMATION: Since June 2020, I’ve lost 278 pounds without surgery, pills, or injections. Reversed type 2 diabetes from 10.1 A1C to under 6. I’m living proof that transformation is possible through real food, exercise and cannabis even as a senior citizen. A senior citizen hippie gentleman bad boy with an edge who’s owned four successful businesses. As far as weed, I’ve been around it since 1968. I’ve seen, grown, toked and tasted strains that most have never heard of or experienced however I’m probably older than you?!

I’m also an opioid addict. At first it was medically needed to get through the day but after healing it was a fix for fun to not suffer from withdrawal every day! For 24 years I was hooked! I’ve been clean for over 10 years and don’t go near heroin in pill form.

⚠️ DISCLAIMER: FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY! 18+ YEARS OF AGE AUDIENCE ALLOWED. WE OPERATE IN STATES WHERE WEED IS LEGAL! WE ARE NOT TELLING YOU TO BREAK THE LAW IN YOUR STATE! RECIPES CAN BE PREPARED WITHOUT CANNABIS AS WELL, THAT IS YOUR CHOICE BUT THE RECIPES ARE AWESOME EITHER WAY! THE MANAGEMENT

The 2026 Federal Budget has three legal changes that no finance commentator is talking about. A lawyer breaks them down and they affect far more people than you’d think.

If you have a family trust, a property acquired before 1985, or any connection to Australian assets as an expat, last night’s budget just changed your legal position. In some cases, rules that have been settled for forty years.

I’m breaking down three specific mechanisms:
1️⃣ The 30% discretionary trust tax, with no legal definition yet of who’s actually caught
2️⃣ The end of pre-1985 CGT exemptions, and the valuation nightmare that follows
3️⃣ Draft legislation that reaches back to December 2006, nearly 20 years, and why CPA Australia publicly described it as alarming.

This isn’t political commentary. It’s legal analysis of what the drafting actually says and what it means for you before these laws take effect.

📣 What You Can Do
Some formal consultation windows may already have closed for particular measures. But as draft legislation develops, Australians can still engage directly with the process:

🔹 Treasury consultations: https://treasury.gov.au/consultation
🔹 Parliamentary committees & public submissions: https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Submissions_Open
🔹 Find and contact your local MP or Senator: https://www.aph.gov.au/senators_and_members
