Tom Bilyeu and Impact Theory’s Quest to Revolutionize the Entertainment Industry Through Gaming: Exploring Project Kyzen

Published Sun, 16 Mar 2025 09:45:44 GMT

It’s no secret that the entertainment industry has undergone transformational changes over the years. Still, few have had as much impact as Tom Bilyeu, a former film school student turned entrepreneur, now leading Impact Theory. Tom’s journey into business was driven by a desire to control the narratives being told, a goal that seemed unattainable at the outset. His vision was clear – to establish his voice publicly and put himself out there, even if it meant being wrong, especially when it came to the possibility of gaming becoming an integral part of everyday life.Witnessing the evolution of video games from their humble beginnings to their current dominance, Tom’s perspective on gaming has also evolved. When Tom was a kid, parents used to say that video games were a waste of time. But as Tom watched gaming overtake filmmaking as the dominant form of storytelling and entertainment, he realized that not only are they not a waste of time, they are the most conseque...

By Ali Swenson | Associated PressNEW YORK — A Democratic watchdog group has called for a U.S. House committee to rescind an invitation to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after the Democratic presidential candidate was filmed falsely suggesting COVID-19 could have been “ethnically targeted” to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people.Kyle Herrig, executive director of the Congressional Integrity Project, sent a letter to Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, asking him to disinvite Kennedy from a hearing scheduled for Thursday after the candidate’s comments at a New York City dinner last week prompted widespread accusations of antisemitism and racism.In the filmed remarks first published by The New York Post, Kennedy said “there is an argument” that COVID-19 “is ethnically targeted” and that it “attacks certain races disproportionately.”“COVID-19 is ta...

After protests, Iran’s morality police return to the streets

Published Sun, 16 Mar 2025 09:45:44 GMT

By Associated PressDUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iranian authorities on Sunday announced a new campaign to force women to wear the Islamic headscarf and morality police returned to the streets 10 months after the death of a woman in their custody sparked nationwide protests.The morality police had largely pulled back following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini last September, as authorities struggled to contain mass protests calling for the overthrow of the theocracy that has ruled Iran for over four decades.The protests largely died down earlier this year following a heavy crackdown in which over 500 protesters were killed and nearly 20,000 detained. But many women continued to flout the official dress code, especially in the capital, Tehran, and other cities.The morality police were only rarely seen patrolling the streets, and in December, there were even some reports — later denied — that they had been disbanded.Authorities insisted throughout the crisis that the rules had not...

Energy Company Plotted Gas Plant in Small Pennsylvania Town — But No One Told Residents

Published Sun, 16 Mar 2025 09:45:44 GMT

When Zulene Mayfield received a call from a reporter last summer, she was surprised. A journalist working at Philadelphia’s public radio station had contacted her for a story about a plan to develop a liquefied natural gas facility in her hometown of Chester, Pennsylvania, a city that sits along the Delaware River just southwest of the Philadelphia International Airport.Since 1992, Mayfield has led an environmental justice group called Chester Residents Concerned for Quality Living. She formed the group to address local concerns about the concentration of waste disposal facilities throughout the city, most notably incineration and waste treatment plants. Chester is home to one of the country’s biggest incinerators, a waste-to-energy facility owned by the Covanta corporation, which burns trash from up and down the East Coast.The facilities, Mayfield said, were sickening residents in Chester, an overwhelmingly Black and low-income community. Over the years, Mayfield helped lead severa...

The killings set off a massive search that ended Sunday with Longmore dead in a shootout in another suburb about 15 miles (25 kilometers) north of Hampton. The exchange of gunfire wounded a sheriff’s deputy and two police officers, who all were expected to recover.Longmore had a “mental breakdown” in 2014, leading to an inpatient hospital stay, his mother Lorna Dennis, told WSB-TV on Sunday. She said her son “kept deteriorating” but refused to seek medical attention, and that officials said they couldn’t force him to seek care.“It’s hard to lose your son, and it’s also hard to know your son cost...
