Apparently Pendulo Studios (Runaway, Yesterday, Tintin) quietly closed down months ago but didn't announce it. Another fallen soldier.

Pendulo Studios (Runaway, Yesterday, Blacksad: Under the Skin) aurait définitivement fermé en mars 2025.

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.

"The hundreds of billions of dollars companies are investing in AI now account for an astonishing 40 per cent share of US GDP growth this year... In a way, then, America has become one big bet on AI."

America is now one big bet on AI
