Peking University professor calls Netflix acquisition of Warner Brothers “an extinction-level event” for cinema.

The EU went from championing antitrust law suits against Mega Corps. to “I want to spy on your private chats legally” in less than three decades.

Carney, Smith, and their oil billionaire donors will not hold our province hostage. Call your MP and demand they end this betrayal of British Columbians. #bcpoli

Mark Carney and Danielle Smith’s MOU is an abuse of power and a spit in the face to British Columbians. They will never ram a pipeline through BC without the consent of Coastal First Nations and Northern Communities, and we’ll make fucking sure of it. #bcpoli

Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

Best treat of the night. #HappierHAMILLWEEN 🎃 😋

The Affinity file extension...Sick.af

Affinity is now free as announced today. Adobe is cooked.

Amazon plans to lay off 30,000 employees (8.5% of corporate employees) as part of its effort to reduce bureaucracy and increased AI use. AI technology isn’t even that good yet and it’s being blamed for layoffs. I wonder how much of this is also about the economy with AI as a convenient scapegoat?

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Spent years recovering from several such incidents in a row. Still recovering. However many years it takes. Redefine what success looks like for you. Stay with us and keep going.

So many political unravelings this year: Al Sharpton was/is a Federal informant 😅.

The videos coming out of Sudan are heart-wrenching.

Hey man say man I don’t know about y’all but I think as we head into holiday season we should definitely be helping each other any way we can. Networking, crowdfunding, donating, etc. We’re going to have to be here for each other if we’re going to make it thru this

We need a national strike now! Check out my plan: daniellemoodie.substack.com/p/leveraging...

A few photos I took in Zanzibar. The Indian Ocean is a spectacle from shore.

AWS outage made everyone like AWShit x_x

"There are now more private equity firms in America than there are McDonalds." A great explainer about why 99% of us feel crushed by inflation and crashing job markets while the on-paper economy and stock markets continue to grow. youtu.be/T2OHjHPkUzM?...

Skeets or BoostBlue? I like both but I think Skeets is faster and more data astute under the hood while BoostBlue has a nicer interface. Hope the dev can sort out the floating keyboard issue on iPad.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Congrats to Maria Corina Machado! Orange man must be pleased lol

Timeline cleanse. ✨ Y’all check out these awesome children’s books! #DiversifySTEM

The grumpy munchkin was grumpy-ing again today.

People think meltdowns are always loud and explosive. They’re not. Sometimes they’re invisible. The body still floods, the system still crashes - but it happens inside. No shouting. No crying. Just silence. You stop speaking, or your brain goes blank.

🤣

Farcaster is the shit!

The discourse around gen-AI is so frustrating for someone who works in applied machine learning. No, gen-AI is not going to give us "AGI." It's just not. But the techbro overlords are creaming themselves to use it to replace workers anyway, and CEOs everywhere are in thrall to the same fantasy.

Craig Clark, 79, calls himself the "Tech Fairy." Clark spends his time refurbishing old laptops and giving them away for free to people who need them. n.pr/48ihZvq

I still cannot believe the USA is hosting FIFA World Cup 2026. How are they going to manage it?

🤣🤣😂

This week I have learned people I considered reasonably intelligent don’t understand words have consequences and diminishing Charlie Kirk’s hatred down to a simple “people should not get killed over opinions,” is a fundamental misunderstanding of the power of opinions combined with a platform.

What's your secret to being online all the time without contracting computer madness? For me it's being pure of heart

FINALLY.

Something I want to be crystal clear about is that I am very tired

The world is kinda weird now. Evolving perhaps. Nepal’s new Prime Minister as basically elected via Discord. Even Nostradamus wouldn’t have seen this coming.

Rapsody is low key insane. I feel her plenty. music.apple.com/ca/album/dad...

The aurora is nature’s most spectacular light show.

As a former educator from the US (adjunct instructor at a small uni), who was targeted by Turning Point USA...

Reality is putting The Onion out of business. That’s how wild this is - reality is parodying 😂

Honestly big endorser of giving people the same energy in death that they gave us in life

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses
