Where South Park goes, Digman! follows — literally. The season two premiere of Andy Samberg’s Digman! is being pushed out two weeks to Wednesday, July 23, just like the season 27 premiere of South Park.

While making their new album, the gentlemen of Zeds Dead put a whiteboard in the studio to jot ideas on while they worked, a go-to move for anyone in a creative swirl. What was unique about their notes however, is that they ultimately wrote just one: “F–k s–t up.” “That was the only thing on the board,” says the duo’s Dylan Mamid. However concise, the instruction contained the project’s foundational approach — “to sound like, kind of not clean,” says other half Zachary Rapp-Rovan, “just very glitchy and messed with, but cohesive, but kind of chaotic.” You’re forgiven if these…

On the morning of July 17, 1929, American film industry titan William Fox and his treasurer Jacob Rubenstein were on their way from Long Island to a round at the Lakeville Golf and Country Club with fellow producers Adolph Zukor, Nicholas Schenck, and actor Thomas Meighan. Fox’s Rolls Royce, driven by chauffeur Joseph Boyes, approached an intersection with poor visibility when a horn sounded. The luxury vehicle glanced off another car, spun around, and turned over in a ditch. When it was all over, Boyes was dead, while Fox and Rubenstein were alive in a pile of broken class. While…

Some of Latin music’s biggest stars have released albums this year — including bona fide hitmakers Bad Bunny (Debí Tirar Más Fotos), Fuerza Regida (111XPANTIA) and Karol G (Tropicoqueta) all taking over the Hot Latin Songs chart (nine out of the top 10 songs on the chart dated July 5 are from these artists’ respective albums). Besides chart domination, the albums mentioned above also champion that regional sound — tropical and Mexican — that adds layers of richness to its production, which has really revitalized Latin music. Whether that approach will rule the remaining six months of the year is…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Starting a software development company with multiple co-founders taught me many lessons, but perhaps none more surprising than what we learned from experimenting with rotating leadership roles. While this approach isn’t right for every organization, I wanted to share our experience because it fundamentally changed how we think about leadership development.Like many early-stage companies founded by friends, we began with an overly democratic approach. Every major decision required consensus from all co-founders. What seemed fair in theory became paralyzing in practice. Simple strategic choices were turned into lengthy debates, and urgent decisions…

Panic over, streamers — the U.K. government has rejected calls for a levy on platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+. The streaming tax had been put to the government by Britain’s Culture, Media and Sport Committee in a bid to salvage local British production on high-end television and film, allowing public service broadcasters such as the BBC and ITV to claw back some of the finance hogged by streamers. It comes as the booming production industry in the U.K. continues to skew toward the platforms. U.K. production spend reached £5.6 billion ($7.9 billion) in 2024, a 31 percent increase since…
