Instead of shared experiences, audiences are navigating a fragmented landscape of hyper-personalized content, algorithmic distractions, and niche obsessions that rarely cross into the mainstream. Typically, summers are marked by distinct cultural moments. Past years have delivered breakout songs that dominated radio and playlists, films that…

U.S. equity markets fell sharply today as a dual wave of economic unease—a disappointing jobs report and an aggressive new tariff policy—shook investor confidence and triggered a broad-based selloff. The developments, which come amid already delicate global financial conditions, have sparked renewed fears of an economic slowdown and prolonged market volatility.
