A woman attacks Fleetwood Mac member Lindsey Buckingham in Santa Monica
Our take: Unconfirmed rumors are that the woman was heard yelling, “This is for that stupid Vacation theme song, 'Holiday Road'!” before the attack.

The NFL continues to move games from free network channels to subscriber-based streaming platforms
Our take: I may be in the minority here. As a huge sports fan, I am the target audience for the 4 major sports in the United States. I have a set of streaming services that I subscribe to on a monthly basis. I am also fortunate that, in general, I don’t have to worry about putting food on the table or keeping the lights on at my house. That said, I find it hard to believe I would take on yet another monthly subscription to watch any sporting event.
If these leagues don’t figure out the balance between revenue generation and fan appreciation, it will begin their slow decline into irrelevance. They may want to check in with their friends in Hollywood and see how the movie industry is doing these days in the age of democratized content generation.

Astronauts on the way to the moon for the first time in over half a century
Our take: 4 astronauts who launched into space on Wednesday are on their way to orbit the moon. This is the first space flight to the moon since the final Apollo mission that successfully landed back on Earth in December 1972. The team will orbit but not land on the moon.
We will see how long it takes for conspiracy theorists to claim this launch was fake and that they are actually planting items on the moon to cover up the “faked” moon landings that NASA made back in the 1960’s and 70’s.

Tip of the day – How to develop a growth mindset from Psychology Today
Turn criticism around until you find its gift. The purpose of criticism is to make things better. Someone else can see what you are doing from a slightly different perspective than you and may have some valuable suggestions for you. If you open up to hearing suggestions, you can more easily develop your growth mindset.
