  • The Boston Celtics have been acquired by a Massachusetts native and co-founder of a prominent technology group for a record-setting $6.1 billion.

    William Chisholm, co-founder of Symphony Technology Group, has reached an agreement to acquire the Boston Celtics from the Grousbeck family, a transaction confirmed by the team in a press release on Thursday.

    A native of Georgetown, Massachusetts, Chisholm is a graduate of Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire.

    This historic sale surpasses the NBA’s previous record for the highest-priced team acquisition.

    “Growing up on the North Shore and attending college in New England, I have been a die-hard Celtics fan my entire life. I understand how important the Celtics are to the city of Boston – the role the team plays in the community is different than any other city in the country. I also understand that there is a responsibility as a leader of the organization to the people of Boston, and I am up for this challenge,” Chisholm said in a statement.

  • Unilever, the parent company of Ben & Jerry’s, has terminated the CEO in an apparent effort to suppress the brand’s political activism.

    The CEO of Ben & Jerry’s was dismissed by its parent company, Unilever, primarily due to the brand’s outspoken political activism. This conflict dates back to 2021, when Ben & Jerry’s publicly called for a ceasefire in Gaza and ceased sales in Israel, a move that caused tension with Unilever. The situation escalated when Unilever sought legal action to prevent the company from voicing criticism of President Donald Trump. Throughout its history, Ben & Jerry’s has consistently championed progressive causes, such as LGBTQ+ rights and climate action. It seems plausible that the company’s stance on these contentious political issues has led to what some might view as punitive measures, possibly influenced by Unilever’s desire to distance itself from the brand’s political activism. Furthermore, there have been reports from consumers suggesting that, in some grocery stores, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream has been locked away, making it difficult for customers to purchase it.

    What do you think about the intersection of corporate interests and political expression in this case?

  • MA State Trooper Michael Proctor, Former Lead Investigator In Karen Read Case Terminated

  • Tesla Stock Sinking Again

    Tesla shares have faced another tough week. After a decline yesterday, the stock is down more than 5% in early Tuesday trading. This drop follows a dramatic loss of nearly 15% in a 24 hour period last week. The recent slide in Tesla’s stock price is largely attributed to growing public disillusionment with the company, especially as CEO Elon Musk’s increasing involvement in politics draws attention.

    Zeekr, Tesla’s competitor in China, has announced the complimentary rollout of its advanced driver-assistance system. In parallel, RBC Capital Markets has revised its price target for Tesla, reflecting diminished expectations regarding the pricing of the company’s autonomous driving technology.

    Do you believe Tesla will be able to recover from this downturn?
