Police fatally shoot woman who stabbed two people in Times Square

 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/31/new-york-city-stabbing-times-square

These knives used as weapons aren't just a danger to the public, but to police. NYPD gave her the opportunity to drop the knives, she refused and threatened instead, so police had to drop her.

The Future of Veritasium https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piHGnG4LsmQ 

Whenever someone is partially bought out, its important that they retain as much creative control as possible. Things seemed to have worked out well for Veritasium, sort of. 

 How Private Equity Turns Your Favorite Channels Into Slop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoibAbdQf58


In contrast to Veritasium, George_Lucas sold his main business, resulting in very little control over the Star-Wars franchise. That's the tradeoff when your company is sold off and you become much less of a creative force as to how things are done.
