Kayleigh Bush, the 2024 Miss North Florida champion, has been stripped of her title and barred from competing in the Miss America nationals—all because she wouldn’t sign a revised contract that essentially erases the biological definition of womanhood to include men who’ve undergone surgeries.

"Billion Dollar Movie In One Prompt": AI Disruption Crosshairs Hone In On Hollywood StudiosAI-driven equity disruption was everywhere this past week, spreading like wildfire beyond software into insurance, commercial real estate, financials, shipping, wealth management, and likely many more industries in the coming trading sessions.
One industry in the crosshairs of AI disruption is Hollywood. Some of the publicly traded studios include The Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount Global, Sony Group Corporation, Netflix, Lionsgate, and others.
On Friday, Axios reported that the Walt Disney Company sent a cease-and-desist letter to ByteDance, alleging that the Chinese tech firm has been infringing on its films to develop Seedance 2.0 without compensation.
Disney's outside attorney, David Singer, wrote a letter to ByteDance global general counsel John Rogovin, accusing the AI company of "pre-packaging its Seedance service with a pirated library of Disney's copyrighted characters from Star Wars, Marvel, and other Disney franchises, as if Disney's coveted intellectual property were free public domain clip art."
"Over Disney's well-publicized objections, ByteDance is hijacking Disney's characters by reproducing, distributing, and creating derivative works featuring those characters. ByteDance's virtual smash-and-grab of Disney's IP is willful, pervasive, and totally unacceptable," Singer said.
He added, "We believe this is just the tip of the iceberg, which is shocking considering Seedance has only been available for a few days."
It’s not just ByteDance’s Seedance 2.0 that has spooked Hollywood studios.
A growing wave of video-generation models suggests that Hollywood’s moat is crumbling, and its control of the media game is nearing its end.

Doctors in Canada have made a bone-chilling call for the government to expand the nation’s radical “assisted suicide” laws to give physicians new powers to begin euthanizing newborn babies.
The alarming demand for extending so-called “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAiD) to newborn children was made by a provincial medical authority in Quebec.
The Quebec College of Physicians has stated that “medical assistance in dying may be an appropriate treatment for babies suffering from extreme pain,” adding that “parents should have the opportunity to obtain this care for their infant.”
