Seth MacFarlane is calling for more positivity in the TV industry. During a recent appearance on the “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” podcast, the “Family Guy” creator discussed the abundance of “negative” stories in Hollywood, and said audiences need more movies and TV shows that “give people hope.” “That’s why I did ‘The Orville’… because when I was a kid, Hollywood was providing that voice in various forms,” MacFarlane said. “There was a lot of hope, and some of the blame lies right here in this town.

Guardian writers’ predicted position: 17th (NB: this is not necessarily Louise Taylor’s prediction but the average of our writers’ tips)Last season: 1st in the ChampionshipProspectsLeeds kitCan Leeds resist the increasingly powerful gravitational pull of the Championship? Could they defy the growing expectation that, these days, promoted teams will be restricted to one-season top-tier stays?

Mark Zuckerberg has spent 14 years gobbling up his leafy Palo Alto neighborhood, according to a New York Times report detailing how the Meta CEO has purchased 11 properties for over $110 million to create his own personal fiefdom in Crescent Park. The piecemeal compound features a main residence, guest homes, manicured gardens, and a pickleball court — even a pool with a movable hydrofloor that can turn the swimming area into a dance floor. The pièce de résistance: a seven-foot statue of wife Priscilla Chan draped in flowing silver robes. Beneath his suburban stronghold lies 7,000 square feet of…

The validation by the World Health Organization (WHO) means that Kenya has successfully reduced cases of the deadly disease to extremely low levels, with no new locally transmitted cases reported in over a decade, and has robust systems in place to prevent its return.
