It's been a bit since we've heard from Apple about its adaptation of William Gibson's seminal cyberpunk novel Neuromancer. And while it'll likely be quite some time before we actually see the series, today brings some good news: the show is officially in production.

Mom Shares ‘Non-Negotiable' Rule to Prevent Her Kids From Bickering on Playdates

A mom of four has a definitive rule to make sure her children stay 'forever friends': No fighting with your siblings on playdates. 'However you treat your sibling, is how you open the door for other people, including friends, to treat them,' Hannah Driscoll tells Driscoll, whose children are 8, 7, 2 and 1, explained on TikTok: 'I don't let my kids play with friends if they're not getting along,' Driscoll said in her video. 'My big kids just had a bunch of neighborhood kids in our backyard, and they were all playing and my son started being mean to my daughter.' Driscoll said her 8-year-old son kept pushing his 7-year-old sister, down a slide while she yelled, 'Stop!' 'I called both of them in and asked what was wrong, and they talked to me about it,' Driscoll said in the clip. 'I said, 'OK, we're done playing with friends.' I told my son to go tell the other kids that they had to go home.' In Driscoll's video, she said her son took personal responsibility for the canceled playdate because, 'It's not my fault they have to go home.' Driscoll said her son told his friends: 'Hey, you guys have to go home because I'm not getting along with my sister.' She added, 'If they want to play with friends, they have to be getting along with their siblings.' It's not that I expect them to get along 100% of the time — it's that I expect that if they're going to be playing with friends, they treat each other well.' Driscoll said that after the canceled playdate, all was forgotten. 'Do you know what all my kids are doing right now?' Driscoll said in the video. 'They're all in the same room playing together and having fun. Because they know that those are their forever friends.' Moms with more than one child, agreed. 'We call it, 'The Same Team Rule.' Siblings are on the same team, always, and I'm the coach. If you're not playing like a team, the game is over.' 'I tell mine, 'If you treat your brother/sister bad, your friends are going to think that they can also treat your brother/sister bad.' 'YES! I always told my kids, 'If you can't get along with each other, you can't get along with your friends.' This made such a difference in how my children treated each other.' 'We don't tolerate meanness. Good on you for setting this standard with your kids.' 'My rule has always been, 'Everyone plays or no one plays. They have grown to respect this rule, whether they like it or not.' 'Also ... my kids will not allow other kids to mistreat one of their sisters.' Driscoll tells that her eldest are 17 months apart and share neighborhood friends, who are between the ages of 6 and 9. 'My kids fight sometimes, but they typically get along and have always had a close relationship,' she says. 'Learning how to resolve conflict with a sibling will help you do it at school or in the workplace,' says Driscoll, adding that she doesn't want other kids to mistreat her children based on what they see between her children. Driscoll knows from experience since she grew up with a similar rule. 'When my brother and I would fight, my mom wouldn't separate us — she would make us sit on the couch and hold hands,' says Driscoll. 'As a kid, I was annoyed by this but my brother and I ... are super close now. I appreciate it.' When her children's playdate ended early, Driscoll says her children begged for a second chance, but she insisted. After the neighborhood children left, says Driscoll, her kids continued playing with each other, explaining to 'They didn't miss a beat.' 'Removing a privilege like a playdate when siblings are not getting along is grounded in basic behavioral principles,' Francyne Zeltser, clinical director of mental health and testing services at Manhattan Psychology Group, tells in an email. 'From a clinical perspective, playdates are privileges, not rights,' says Zeltser. 'If the family rule is that playdates are contingent on sibling cooperation, then it's logical that conflict between siblings may result in that privilege being revoked.' Zeltser says 'prioritizing family relationships' is the message. 'Reinforcing the value of getting along with siblings before engaging with peers can help children learn to maintain harmony in their closest relationships,' she explains. 'As children grow older, peers often become more influential than parents or siblings. By establishing early on that family comes first, parents can instill a sense of loyalty, mutual respect and advocacy within the family unit. This can serve as a protective factor during adolescence, when peer influence becomes stronger and not always positive.' Zeltser notes the potential downside of canceling a playdate, especially if it happens a lot and kids continue to argue. 'It could result in fewer invitations from peers who don't want to risk their time being cut short,' says Zeltser. 'In that case, it's worth reassessing the approach and possibly incorporating other strategies, like coaching the children on conflict-resolution skills or using positive reinforcement for cooperative behavior.'

BTS will return in spring 2026 with a new album and world tour

Their reunion? It's smooth like butter. The K-pop septet BTS will return in spring 2026 with a new album and world tour. Members Jin, RM, V, Jimin, J-Hope, Jung Kook and Suga made the announcement Tuesday during a livestream on Weverse, an online fan platform owned by BTS management company Hybe. It was the first time all seven members have broadcast live together since September 2022. 'We'll be releasing a new BTS album in the spring of next year. Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music,' the band said in a statement. 'Since it will be a group album, it will reflect each member's thoughts and ideas. We're approaching the album with the same mindset we had when we first started.' According to a press release, the band will be in the United States this month to begin working on new music. The 2026 album will mark their first since 2022's anthology, 'Proof,' their 2021 Japanese compilation album 'BTS, the Best,' and their last studio album, 'Be,' released in 2020. They also announced a world tour, their first in nearly four years. The news arrives a few weeks after BTS superstars RM, V, Jimin and Jung Kook were discharged from South Korea's military after fulfilling their mandatory service. In South Korea, all able-bodied men aged 18 to 28 are required by law to perform 18-21 months of military service under a conscription system meant to deter aggression from rival North Korea. Six of the group's seven members served in the army, while Suga, the last to return, fulfilled his duty as a social service agent, an alternative to military service. Jin, the oldest BTS member, was discharged in June 2024. J-Hope was discharged in October. South Korea's law gives special exemptions to athletes, classical and traditional musicians, and ballet and other dancers if they have obtained top prizes in certain competitions and are assessed to have enhanced national prestige. K-pop stars and other entertainers aren't subject to such privileges. However, in 2020, BTS postponed their service after South Korea's National Assembly revised its Military Service Act, allowing K-pop stars to delay their enlistment until age 30.

Circle Stock Is A 'Must Hold,' Says Bernstein: Here's Why

Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Bernstein has initiated coverage on Circle Internet Group (NYSE:CRCL) with an Outperform rating and a price target of $230, highlighting the company's growing leadership in the stablecoin sector. What Happened: Bernstein analysts expect Circle's USD Coin (CRYPTO: USDC) to play a central role in the future of internet-scale payments. The firm projects the total stablecoin market could grow from approximately $225 billion today to $4 trillion over the next decade, with Circle expected to capture a significant share, driven by its regulatory edge, liquidity lead, and strong distribution partnerships.

Back a bold new approach to cancer treatment with high-growth potential. The analysts described Circle as a 'must-hold' stock for investors looking to participate in the evolution of digital dollar networks beyond crypto trading, positioning it as a potential backbone of internet financial infrastructure. Bernstein's bullish stance is tied to Circle's early regulatory advantages under the newly passed U.S. GENIUS Act, which establishes a clear framework for stablecoin issuers. This regulatory clarity is expected to solidify Circle's leadership as the largest regulated stablecoin issuer in the U.S. Why It Matters: Circle's USDC is already widely used across major crypto exchanges such as Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) and Binance, providing the company with a strong liquidity network that is difficult for new entrants to replicate. Bernstein's valuation, based on a 10-year discounted cash flow model, forecasts Circle's revenue to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 47% from 2024 to 2027, driven by increasing USDC supply and wider adoption across financial services and payment platforms. The analysts expect adjusted EBITDA to grow at 71% annually over the same period. While Circle's float income-based revenue model remains sensitive to interest rate cuts, Bernstein believes strong growth in USDC supply will offset this pressure. The firm noted that drawdown phases driven by declining rates could offer attractive entry points for long-term investors. Bernstein's valuation assumes Circle will maintain a roughly 30% stablecoin market share over the long term, with a target valuation reflecting ~35x 2027 adjusted EBITDA.
