Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet President Trump in Washington on Wednesday to discuss ongoing negotiations with Iran, moving up his visit by a week from the originally planned Feb. 18 meeting. Netanyahu requested the earlier meeting last Friday, a day after Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner held talks in Oman with Iran's foreign minister over a potential nuclear deal. Netanyahu's office said the prime minister believes any deal must include limits on Iran's ballistic missiles and ending support for militant groups, including Hezbollah and Hamas. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that if the U.S. attacks Iran, his country would retaliate against U.S. bases in the region. | Homeowners Hanging on Longer Americans who sold homes in late 2025 had owned them for an average of 8.55 years, the longest stretch in at least 25 years, according to new real estate data analysis. The trend is driven by a "lock-in effect" as homeowners hold onto ultra-low pandemic-era mortgage rates, with tight inventory and high prices making moves costlier. Coastal states face the longest tenures: Massachusetts leads at 13.29 years, followed by Connecticut at 13.02 years and California at 11.24 years. Maine had the shortest tenure at just 4.8 years, nearly 8.5 years less than Massachusetts. The lock-in effect may be easing, as more homeowners now carry mortgage rates above 6% rather than below 3%, potentially encouraging future sales. | Olympics Scramble to Fix Medals Problem Organizers of the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics say they are investigating after several athletes reported problems with their medals shortly after being awarded. U.S. alpine skier Breezy Johnson, who won gold in the women's downhill, showed reporters that the ribbon had come apart from her medal during a post-race news conference, and several other winners noted similar issues. The organizers of the Milan-Cortina 2026 games said they are giving the issue "maximum attention" and working to identify the cause. Concerns about medal quality are not new. After the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, more than 200 athletes requested replacements due to tarnishing or wear.

Hollywood Thinks You're Not Paying Attention Netflix urged Matt Damon and Ben Affleck to include three to four plot reminders in scripts "because people are on their phones." It highlights a growing problem in entertainment: creator visions are distorted to cater to disengaged viewers. Meanwhile, the best versions of stories, or the best stories altogether, go untold. So Watrfall created an entertainment model that gives creators, fans, and investors what they want. Co-founded by Golden Globe-winner Ron Perlman, Watrfall lets creators submit projects and fans vote on and fund what they want to see. Then, once it's released, everyone shares in potential profits. The platform goes live this year, with the first slate expected to enter pre-production by Q4. After that, they'll open a steady pipeline of quality, creator-driven content that fans demand. Watrfall's last investment opportunity sold out in three months.
