You can watch the Diddy documentary trailer here: The four-part series follows Diddy's unlikely rise to musical legend as an executive at Bad Boy Entertainment, where he helped launch the careers of superstars like Mary J. Blige and the Notorious B.I.G. He also became a larger-than-life pop culture figure who dated Jennifer Lopez and performed with rappers like Jay-Z and Kanye West. But for more than a decade, online forums and social media contained rumors of sexual misconduct in his past. After Ventura filed her suit, others came forward with allegations against Diddy, leading to his federal trial and conviction in July. The documentary goes in-depth into the accusations against him. Diddy and 50 Cent are contemporaries in the relatively small world of 2000s rappers, but they have long had…...

The aim of this article is straightforward: to examine how a governance structure functions when it deviates from its established rules. Governance works only when lower bodies remain within the boundaries set by higher authorities. When an HOA chooses to depart from a regulatory determination, the burden is simple: any change must be documented, justified, and procedurally sound. This was the moment when alignment in this case began to deteriorate. North Carolina's Planned Community Act is clear about what must occur before an HOA imposes fines. A written notice must be issued. A hearing must be scheduled. The homeowner must be given the right to appear and the opportunity to present evidence. Only after a valid hearing may fines be considered. That process did not…...

Earlier in November, the organizations officially announced the inaugural Brisbane World Breaking DanceSport Festival, set to take place at Brisbane City Hall from January 17-18, 2026. This event marks a significant strategic pivot for the region. Rather than a one-off that only pays lip service to supporting breaking in Oceania, the festival is designed to be an annual fixture, a "major step forward" according to the WDSF, intended to cultivate a consistent high-performance environment six years out from the 2032 Games in the same area. The the Brisbane festival also comes at an appropriate…...

58+ min ago (415+ words) Flamengo defeated Palmeiras 1-0 on Saturday night in Lima, Peru to win the Copa Libertadores. Flamengo needed just a single goal to seal the biggest title in South American football. The match was incredibly tight. Just as expected. Palmeiras and Flamengo have gone toe-to-toe all season in the Brazilian league and the Copa Libertadores. These 90 minutes were no different. Flamengo enjoyed 60% of possession but Palmeiras had 1.01 xG to Flamengo's 0.72. A single header from former Manchester City and Real Madrid defender Danilo won the game for the Rio de Janeiro side in the second half. The Brazilian international and two-time UEFA Champions League winner rose to meet a cross from a corner kick and nodded the ball in off the post. Danilo also won the 2011 Copa Libertadores with Santos. Flamengo only won its second Copa Libertadores title in 2019. Now, in 2025, Flamengo's four…...

1+ hour, 1+ min ago (411+ words) It took until the last second, but the Golden State Warriors and Jonathan Kuminga ended their cold war, reaching an agreement on a new deal shortly before the regular season got underway. Still, it has been par for a turbulent course between the two sides. The former seventh overall pick missed seven games due to injury and a suspiciously slow return to activity. In Kuminga's last four appearances before his absence, his playing time was diminishing. Still, the six-foot-seven wing has started in 12 of the 14 tilts he has participated in. He is averaging 13.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 27.1 minutes. Now in his fifth year in the Association, he continues to look like a questionable fit in Steve Kerr's system. Simultaneously, he showcases his talent, athleticism, and upside when he's on the floor. That is why teams will overlook what is…...

1+ hour, 5+ min ago (250+ words) In the process, the economy shifted from manufacturing work to knowledge work. Is there a parallel to the current time, with artificial intelligence threatening the jobs of knowledge workers? A team of researchers from Case Western, Princeton, and Brandeis Universities say there are analogies to the automation wave of the 1980s, but they only go so far. In this just-published study, economist David Clingingsmith, professor at Case Western University and his colleagues argue that workers might not be able to absorb the shocks of the current AI wave as readily as industrial workers in the 1980s, as they had strong unions, concentrated impacts, and clear retraining paths. Look at today's factory floor compared with those four decades ago, the co-authors point out. "The modern factory floor is filled with machines and empty of people.Computerized machine tools produce complex parts based on…...

1+ hour, 16+ min ago (333+ words) The Toronto Blue Jays looked ready to emerge as one of baseball's most aggressive teams this winter after coming within one win of a World Series championship. The Blue Jays have a young franchise cornerstone in place with Vladimir Guerrero Jr., earned a major boost for their starting rotation with a team-friendly return from Shane Bieber and saw a significant amount of the payroll coming off the books via free agency. And the team quickly made good on those expectations by striking a seven-year, $210 million deal with frontline starter Dylan Cease. Now the Blue Jays could look to some additions for the bullpen as well as a potential return for Bo Bichette. And in the meantime, it could be searching for a trade partner to take on two-time All-Star Jose Berrios. "Their attention must shift to the everyday lineup and…...
