Barcelona midfielder left in limbo with exit looming after Spanish court rejects player’s registration.A Spanish court has rejected Barcelona’s request to register Dani Olmo beyond the year’s end, potentially pushing the star closer to leaving the Catalan giants for free. The Spain playmaker, who has six goals in 15 appearances for the Bernabeu-based club this season, signed from Bundesliga club RB Leipzig last summer for a reported $62.5m, but La Liga rules limiting spending on wages and transfers complicated his registration. Barcelona, mired in debt, registered the 26-year-old to December 31 with 80 percent of injured defender Andreas Christensen’s pay…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. If you want to build a lasting business, long hours are the norm. It’s not just in the early days of the business, either.

Back-to-back investor meetings, intense work sprints, putting out fires and more, all of which are in addition to the day-to-day duties and responsibilities.Popular wisdom says most people max out at around six productive hours…
A white-tailed jackrabbit (Lepus townsendii) in the snowAUSLOOS Henry/Hemis/Alamy Days with snow covering the ground are set to become less common across much of the continental US due to climate change. If greenhouse gas emissions continue as usual, by the end of the century, days with deep snow are projected to disappear almost everywhere except high mountain regions. Once-snowy areas have already started transforming. “We see places like New Hampshire turning into places like New Jersey, which is a bit hard to swallow,” says Elizabeth Burakowsi at the University of New Hampshire.

BBCBillionaire Elon Musk has hailed Twitter as a bastion for freedom of expression ever since he acquired the social media site two years ago. But over the course of 2024, X, as it is now called, has evolved from what felt like a communal town square into a polarised hub where views and posts seem even more controversial. Certain profiles that have shared misleading takes on politics and the news, some of which have been accused of triggering hate, have recently shot to prominence.All of this matters because X might not have as many users as some other major social…
The inauguration of Donald Trump as president of the US will take place on January 20 — the same day as the opening of the World Economic Forum in Davos.Since the end of the cold war, the annual Davos meeting — which brings together business and political leaders from all over the world — has become a symbol of elite-driven globalisation. But Trump is a sworn enemy of what he calls “globalism”. Davos-goers promote free trade; Trump says that “tariff” is his favourite word. The WEF hosts innumerable forums about international co-operation; Trump believes in “America First” nationalism.For three decades,…

The group’s economist, Lawrence Yun, projected the median U.S. home price would continue to increase in 2025, but at a slower pace compared to previous years, reaching a $410,700 median existing-home price. The median home price in November stood at $406,100. “Home price growth could be more muted, more modest,” Yun said. “Maybe it’s a healthy thing, we want income to catch up with home prices, maybe giving a couple…

“MUSK vs MAGA” Trump is known for enjoying the gladiatorial spectacle when conflict breaks out in his inner circle. He has been conspicuously silent during the hostilities that Politico characterized as “Musk vs MAGA.”Many MAGA figures have been agitating for a complete closure of America’s borders while the problem of illegal entries is tackled, and hoping for a steer from Trump that would reassure them that he remains firm in his America First stance.For some long-time loyalists, Silicon Valley has already inserted itself too deeply into MAGA politics.”We welcomed the tech bros when they came running our way to avoid…
