Bad Bunny, or Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is making headlines this week as his monumental 30-date residency No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí continues to electrify Puerto Rico. The excitement across San Juan is palpable, as thousands of devoted listeners pour into the Coliseo de Puerto Rico for weekends filled with music and spectacle. Bad Bunny's choice to focus this year's live performances on his homeland, rather than traditional international touring, further cements his unique role as an ambassador for Puerto Rican identity and culture. According to Thred, Bad Bunny wanted fans to “meet him in his home, Puerto Rico,” underscoring his ongoing commitment to his roots and his people.The show itself is generating international buzz, from sentimental Instagram posts like one from The Cut describing tears of joy watching Benito perform at El Choli, to news that the first nine dates were reserved exclusively for Puerto Rican residents. Ticket demand has been overwhelming—80,000 sold in hours at local malls and markets. Now, global ticket buyers are flying in, some securing bundled hotel-and-ticket packages for the experience. Bloomberg even projects that the residency could add over $200 million to Puerto Rico's economy. The residency, running through mid-September, headlines every weekend and is both a celebration of Puerto Rican resilience and a statement about the artist's global influence.On the music front, Bad Bunny just released a brand new single, “Alambre Púa,” debuting it live as the opener for his San Juan residency before dropping it on streaming platforms. Variety reports that “Alambre Púa” marks his first new music since January's No. 1 album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, blending high-energy performance with his signature lyrical honesty. The residency's 30-song setlists mix this fresh release with anthems from his chart-topping albums, uniting deep cuts and dance-floor classics. His album continues to dominate charts, still landing in the Top 10 months after its early January release. Bad Bunny's continued chart presence reaffirms his place at the forefront of global Latin music.The cultural footprint of Bad Bunny extends beyond the stage. In partnership with adidas Originals, he's celebrating five years of collaboration with a sweeping, multi-sensory “cultural takeover.” According to Adidas press news, the festivities have included everything from a historic Formula 1 demo run through the streets of San Juan—making history as the first ever in Puerto Rico—to a pop-up archive and exclusive product previews. The buzz intensified when Bad Bunny debuted the new, unreleased AdiRacer GT sneaker on stage, building anticipation for the upcoming Adidas and Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team collaboration.The social media ecosystem is buzzing, too, with visuals, reactions, and exclusive content flooding Instagram. CNN noted the “sense of excitement permeating Puerto Rico” as the homegrown superstar unites fans both locally and around the world. Sneaker culture is also in celebration mode, with 150 pairs from Bad Bunny's Adidas collaborations displayed in The Archive popup, and images of Benito's residency performances circulating widely.Bad Bunny isn't limiting himself to music: listeners are also looking forward to seeing him alongside Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore 2, set to release later in July, with other fan-favorite cast members returning. From sold-out concerts to movie screens, his impact remains universal.Thanks for tuning in for the latest on Bad Bunny in Puerto Rico—where music, culture, and community meet center stage. Come back next week for the most current updates on Benito and more stories from the world of music and culture.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the past few days, Shakira has been at the center of the global music stage with her ongoing Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour. On August 4, 2025, she electrified Los Angeles with a sold-out show at SoFi Stadium. Billboard documented her performance of Chantaje, while fans and celebrities like Isabela Merced and Amanda Diaz shared their excitement from the venue on social media. One standout moment, captured by BV Concerts on YouTube, was Shakira's first-ever live rendition of her fan-favorite Men In This Town, a song that has never been performed live before. Opening for Shakira that night were the Black Eyed Peas, making it a major event for LA's summer concert calendar.Next, Shakira is set for a highly anticipated show in Fresno at the Valley Children's Stadium—the first big-name concert ever held at this venue. According to FOX26 News and Fresno State Athletics, there's still a push for last-minute ticket sales, with special deals like free admission for the first 250 students who purchase football season passes. Local officials, including Assemblyman David Tangipa, view her appearance as a pivotal test for Fresno's ambitions to attract more A-list artists, acknowledging that breaking into the big-league touring circuit is no easy feat for the city.Meanwhile, Shakira has also stepped out in the beauty business spotlight. Just last week, she launched her debut haircare line, Isima, at a star-studded party at Casita Hollywood. People magazine reports Shakira opened up at the event about her personal struggles with ‘temperamental' hair, joking about her journey from brunette to blonde to red and back again. Isima is exclusive to Ulta and features eight products tailored to different hair needs. The pop star emphasized that the brand is rooted in science, culture, and, importantly, her own experience with hair disasters over the years.On the financial front, Vinyl Me Please highlighted Shakira's blockbuster tour revenue—she has reportedly grossed $130 million as of June, topping Billboard's mid-year rankings and cementing her position as a global force in Latin pop. Her tour is seen not just as a commercial success, but as a cultural movement addressing themes of female empowerment and resilience—reflected in both her music and her business ventures.Social media continues to buzz with fan content from her shows, reactions to her hairstyles, and speculation about future tour dates, especially as she heads to Mexico for a series of concerts that promise to maintain her record-breaking momentum. All developments reported are verified; no speculation included here.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Yesterday, we focused on the death of the American way of work. But today the news on the AI front isn't quite as dire. According to the New York based economic historian Dror Poleg, AI will be too busy to take your job. That's the provocative thesis of Poleg's upcoming book focused on the radical opportunities in our AI age. He argues that AI's massive energy consumption will actually preserve human employment, as society redirects computing power toward critical tasks rather than simply replacing human labor with algorithms. Unlike Yuval Noah Harari's pessimistic "useless class" prediction, Poleg cheerfully envisions a future where everyone becomes valuable through constant experimentation and human connectivity. He believes we're entering an era where work becomes indistinguishable from leisure, interpersonal skills command premium value, and the economy depends on widespread human creativity and feedback to determine what's truly valuable in an increasingly unpredictable world. That's the electrifying truth about our AI era. For Poleg, AI represents something even more transformative than electrification itself—a utility that will flow like water and affect everything, reshaping not just how we work but the very nature of economic value and human purpose.1. AI's Energy Demands Will Preserve Human Jobs"Energy is too valuable to waste on tasks humans can do... we as an economy, as a society, will basically want to throw as much electricity as possible at the things that matter up to the point that maybe automating different tasks that human can do... we'll decide to take electricity away from today's computer, even from people using Excel today and saying, Okay, that electricity is more valuable somewhere else."2. AI Is More Transformative Than Electrification"I would say it's more significant... I think it's at least as significant as electricity and electrification. And in many ways... it is more of a utility than anything else for better or worse. So it will flow like water and it will affect everything."3. Everyone Will Become Valuable Through Experimentation"My view of the future is actually exactly the opposite [of Harari's useless class]. I think that in the future everyone will be valuable and almost any activity would be valuable because we will not have any idea what is or who is valuable... as a society we will need as many people as possible to constantly do whatever they feel like, create whatever they want to create."4. Work Will Merge With Leisure and Human Connection"The general trend that I see is that work will become increasingly indistinguishable from leisure if we're looking long-term... we'll see more of these types of jobs, basically giving each other attention, helping each other know that we exist and sharing with each other more and more specialized and granular types of... service that only we can give to each other."5. Physical, In-Person Interactions Will Become Premium"If you wanna know if something is true, the only way to know that is to be there or to know someone who was there... I think that also pushes us back towards offline. In-person physical interactions that will be at a premium." This is a public episode.

Bad Bunny, known off stage as Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is making global news this week thanks to the electrifying launch of his unprecedented three-month residency in San Juan, Puerto Rico. As reported by CBS News, his “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” residency opened Friday night at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, where Bad Bunny performed a marathon set that blended club beats, salsa, folkloric dance, and acoustic moments, all tightly focused on celebrating Puerto Rican heritage. The concerts are deeply personal for Benito, who has returned home after a meteoric global rise, intensifying his efforts to make music that centers Puerto Rican identity. The first nine shows are exclusive to local residents, doubling as a statement against gentrification and an ode to the island's community spirit. Even NBA legend LeBron James was seen attending and dancing on opening night.Remezcla reports that fans were stunned when Bad Bunny opened his residency with a previously unheard song. The track delivered a mix of plena and reggaeton, with lyrics about longing and bittersweet romance, and included both Spanish and English phrases. While the song ignited social media, there's no word yet on whether it will see an official release beyond the live shows—fueling speculation that this song is a residency exclusive and marking yet another way Benito is creating unforgettable, one-of-a-kind experiences for his Puerto Rican audience.The residency also puts a spotlight on Bad Bunny's latest album, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” (“I Should Have Taken More Photos”), which released in January and has continued to ride high on the charts. According to Wikipedia, this is his sixth studio album and it's characterized by themes of nostalgia, reflection, and living in the moment. The album has been promoted heavily through singles like “El Clúb” and “Pitorro de Coco,” the latter touching on heartbreak during the holidays. The project received a high-profile rollout, including a poignant teaser featuring filmmaker Jacobo Morales and heartfelt commentary on memories and change.Meanwhile, the buzz continues with the recent drop of the music video for “NUEVAYoL,” a standout from the new album. Hypebeast describes how the video, released over the July 4th holiday, is a visually rich homage to Puerto Rican resilience and the Nuyorican experience. Scenes trace community celebrations, cultural pride, and political undertones, including a symbolic moment where Bad Bunny plants the Puerto Rican flag on the Statue of Liberty, referencing real-life activist stunts and underscoring his ongoing commitment to immigrant narratives and Latinx heritage. Another layer of the video's commentary includes a satirical segment with a deepfake of Donald Trump apologizing to immigrants, further demonstrating Bad Bunny's engagement with social and political issues.Outside of music, Bad Bunny's partnership with adidas continues to turn heads. According to Sole Retriever, he's set to release three new colorways of the adidas Gazelle as part of a City Series collection inspired by Puerto Rico's vibrant locales like El Yunque, Santurce, and Cabo Rojo. These sneakers, dropping July 26, feature city names stamped in gold and inventive design touches that signal his status in both music and fashion.Social media has swirled with excitement as exclusive images and updates from his residency and collaborations are shared widely, with BAD BUNNY NEWS on Instagram highlighting moments from recent events. Bad Bunny's cultural influence, both on and off the stage, has only intensified in 2025 as his artistry, activism, and connection to his roots continue to define him as much more than just a global superstar.Thanks for tuning in.

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake is riding a wave of high-profile European festival performances as his Forget Tomorrow World Tour barrels through July 2025. In the last few days, Timberlake has thrilled massive crowds across the UK, beginning with a show at Chelmsford City Racecourse on July 4 where he performed alongside Jess Glynne and Dagny, an event that drew widespread attention and was captured in fan-shot video circulating on social media. Just two nights later, he headlined Lytham Festival, where, according to the Blackpool Gazette, Timberlake wowed a sold-out crowd of 25,000 with hits like Mirrors, Cry Me a River, Senorita, and Can't Stop the Feeling, delivering what many are calling one of the festival's most electrifying nights. The crowd's energy and his dynamic stage presence were the subject of glowing fan posts across Instagram and Twitter.Continuing the European leg, Timberlake touched down in Luxembourg, performing at the Luxexpo Open-Air on July 8, as confirmed by photo galleries published by RTL Today and previewed by fan accounts days prior. The live event was widely documented, with images showing Timberlake commanding the stage before another sea of fans, cementing his status as a premier live act and a global pop icon this summer.Beyond the spotlight, Timberlake's name continues to carry weight in the business of music rights. Merck Mercuriadis, the founder of Hipgnosis Songs Fund, who famously acquired Timberlake's valuable song catalog, has launched a new company aiming to buy back blockbuster music rights, according to the Financial Times reported by Music Business Worldwide. While there is no indication of Timberlake himself being directly involved in new transactions, his catalog remains a centerpiece in lucrative music asset discussions as these high-stakes deals unfold.Timberlake's personal brand and business portfolio also remain robust. As Sacco Trend Magazine notes, his fortune is buoyed not only by music and touring but by ongoing endorsements and entrepreneurial projects outside entertainment. Meanwhile, any fresh speculation about Timberlake's private life has been muted, with recent coverage focusing squarely on his music, tour, and the legacy of his business ventures rather than celebrity gossip or drama.No controversies or headline-grabbing missteps have emerged in the past week—only sold-out shows, enthusiastic fan response, and continued validation of his enduring star power. As his tour rolls through Europe and business headlines swirl with his music rights at their core, Justin Timberlake is once again everywhere you look, and at the top of his game.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

We're going to be talking about the current incoherent world of US ENERGY POLICY. ANNA KRAMER joins the podcast to help us get our arms around the future of energy in the United States. Anna is a reporter for NOTUS, a non-partisan longform journalism outlet. She has written a series of stories on the the disconnect and frustration around US Energy Policy and paths forward. We talk about: The chaotic policy at the federal level (and beyond) The huge cost overruns and administrative complexity The role of nuclear The increased energy demand in this country Finally, we muse about what can be done about it going forward. https://youtu.be/3k-N-AGTNfU Outline Section 1: The US Energy Policy Transition: The Goals and the Problem. Discussing Brandon Shores Coal Plant and electricity prices in the Mid-Atlantic Region. https://www.notus.org/policy/biden-clean-energy-coal-maryland-brandon-shores https://www.notus.org/policy/electricity-prices-spiking-biden-clean-energy-transition https://www.notus.org/policy/nuclear-power-energy-crisis-cost Evidence that the transition is happening. Electrifying = efficiency. Cheap wind and solar, look at the free markets in Texas — ballooning wind and solar there The reliability, capacity, and resource problem: Needing certain amounts of energy and voltages at all times of day. Leads to keeping coal plants online past scheduled retirement dates, plus spiking prices How much do emissions and climate change goals matter to the industry? What role does nuclear energy play? Section 2: Interconnection Queues and Permitting Reform. Bipartisan and Industry wish for Permitting Reform: Why is it so hard for US Energy Policy?  https://www.notus.org/policy/permitting-reform-bill-manchin-environmentalists https://www.notus.org/policy/solar-farm-culture-war-biden-climate-change Section 3: Trump's US Energy Policy “dominance agenda” disappointing every part of the energy industry. Idea is not aligning with reality. DOGE cutting into the basic functions of energy governance. https://www.notus.org/policy/doge-cuts-trump-drill-baby-drill https://www.notus.org/policy/donald-trump-tariffs-trump-energy-agenda Transcript Frazer Rice (00:01)Welcome aboard, Anna. Anna Kramer (00:03)Thanks for having me, really psyched. Frazer Rice (00:04)I went through a bunch of your articles covering the power industry and energy generation and a lot of things that are happening federally, state level, and it's going to be a lot to get our arms around, but you were the person to do it. So just generally speaking, we're at a point in time with energy and transition ⁓ that policy is moving. Maybe take us through a little bit about the goals and the problem we face. Anna Kramer (00:31)So there are sort of two, I would say, competing problems right now. ⁓ The first one is load growth, which means basically more demand on the electricity grid. And that is something that we haven't seen in this country in decades. for really around 2000 up until maybe a couple of years ago, energy demand on the grid has been fairly constant or even declining slightly. And the reason for that is that everything has become more efficient. Like every appliance you use, every light bulb, your car, everything that could possibly have a demand on the grid is more efficient than it used to be, which is awesome. There's a lot of wonderful benefits that we get from that, including the fact that for a long time utilities and transmission planners and states and the federal government have not really ever had to think about the grid or about like where you get your power aside from these sort of technical conversations that the average person doesn't really pay any attention to. That has really started to change as of the last few years. There's a large number of reasons for that. Basically for the first time in decades we have significant demand expecte...

There's no way of sugar-coating it: The numbers from Tesla's first quarter results were quite bad. That's unsurprising considering the blowback and protests at Tesla dealerships resulting from Elon Musk's cost-cutting work with DOGE within the Trump administration. Auto sales were down 20%, and profits were down a whopping 70%. Plus, consumer-oriented brands struggle to predict their outlooks amid consumer jitters, and new home construction faces headwinds.

In February 2020, speculation arose about whether international Latin music sensation Bad Bunny would pay tribute to the late Kobe Bryant during the Super Bowl halftime show. The anticipation was heightened by the recent passing of the NBA legend, who tragically died in a helicopter crash on January 26, 2020, along with his daughter Gianna and seven others. The Super Bowl LIV halftime show, held on February 2, 2020, in Miami, was headlined by Jennifer Lopez and Shakira. There was considerable buzz about how the performers might honor Bryant's legacy, given his profound impact on sports and popular culture.Although Bad Bunny did not specifically perform a tribute to Kobe Bryant during the halftime show, the Latin music star was involved in the performance as a guest artist, sharing the stage with Shakira. He delivered a dynamic and vibrant performance that aligned with the show's overall themes of Latin exuberance and celebration. The show's energy and spectacle were poignant and powerful, resonating with audiences worldwide. Bad Bunny, known for his genre-defying music and progressive messages, has often expressed respect and admiration for cultural icons, and Kobe Bryant's influence in sports is one such inspiration. While Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance did not explicitly include a tribute to Bryant, the moment was part of a broader cultural fabric that celebrated diversity and unity.The tribute to Kobe Bryant was perhaps expressed more subtly and through the collective heart of the performance and the unity it represented. The halftime show was widely lauded for its energetic and inclusive nature, serving as a testament to the power of music and performance to bring people together in times of both joy and mourning.

Irina Filippova is not here to perform change—she's here to live it. From her early career as a Russian diplomat to her current role as COO of a BlackRock-backed energy transition venture, Irina has made a habit of rewriting the rules instead of following them. In this episode, she shares what it really means to be a self-starter in a world obsessed with shortcuts, how real leaders use courage to stay in integrity, and why the most meaningful change begins with inner work. For anyone who's tired of career templates and startup posturing, Irina offers something better: a real-time masterclass in designing a life and legacy on your own terms.>>Built for Change—Literally“I've never inherited a job. Every role, I created from scratch.”Irina walks us through her journey from UN think tanks to BP's rebrand to leading energy transition from the ground up—each step a reinvention by design.>>Courage ≠ Chaos“Leadership is courage. And courage means staying in integrity.”Forget the bravado. Irina breaks down why real courage isn't about reckless risk-taking—it's about showing up, following through, and walking away when the values don't align.>>The Myth of the Unicorn“We glorify unicorns—and then wonder why leaders burn out.”Irina calls out the toxic myths in startup culture and shares a grounded vision for building businesses that last longer than a product cycle.>>Change Starts Inside“I thought I needed to change the world. Turns out, I needed to change myself first.”Before she could consult CEOs, Irina had to rewire her own beliefs—thanks to deep inner work at the Jung Institute in Zurich. This is change leadership with a soul.>>Electrifying a New Industry“We provide the electric fuel. You focus on logistics. Simple.”Now COO of Electrata, Irina explains her company's mission to make clean energy logistics seamless for fleets—so the energy transition doesn't get stuck in jargon or infrastructure nightmares._________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Irina Filippova  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Dan Yates co-founded Opower in 2007, based on the belief that consumers want to use less energy—and that their utilities could actually help them do it. He was right. Opower took off, and Oracle bought the customer engagement platform in 2016. A year later, Dan founded Dandelion Energy, a startup that uses geothermal energy for heating and cooling buildings. Electrifying buildings is a major tenant of decarbonizing the power sector, but air-source heat pumps can be expensive. Installation costs are even higher with geothermal heat pumps, but they offer energy efficiency advantages. Dan is a big fan. After investing in Dandelion and serving on its board, he became CEO in 2023.This week on With Great Power, Dan talks about the potential for residential geothermal heating and cooling, why it could be the clean energy that gains instead of loses federal support in the near term, and the role he thinks utilities can play in the technology's deployment.With Great Power is a co-production of GridX and Latitude Studios.  Subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere you get podcasts.
