Quick word on the "LA Riots"...

1. I was at Disneyland on Saturday, went out for bagels in Burbank on Sunday, and walked Sunset in Hollywood today. Drove the 101 (main road that goes through DTLA) multiple times. LA is fine. Actually, it's not fine, but "riots" aren't the reason.
Cost him a whole Warner Bros. Discovery.
Mark Zuckerberg’s gamble on the ‘Metaverse’ has cost Meta more than $77B

The company now plans to cut spending on it and shift focus to AI wearables instead

I started in content moderation when I was 13-years-old. I didn't foresee that this act, had I not been born in the United States, would be grounds to deny me (or a family member) an H-1B visa. I simply enjoyed an online community and wanted to help maintain it.

Documentary recommendation: The Stringer on Netflix. It examines the question of who actually took the prize-winning photo of “Terror of War (Napalm Girl)” as she ran down the road after being burned by an attack during the Vietnam War. AP stands by its claim that Nick Út took it.

"Napalm Girl" was one of the most heartbreakingly famous images from the Vietnam War, and this film questions who really took the photo.

You have to applaud Netflix for picking up two challenging journalism documentaries, COVER-UP and THE STRINGER, the latter of which leaves little doubt as to the real origin of history's most infamous war photograph. www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/film...
