We will finally learn the true reason why beans are good for the heart.

Location-based subreddits are becoming increasingly important news sources in some areas. While nobody in them is doing any traditional reporting, there’s still a lot of crowd-sourced information gathering that actually has news value — whether it’s reports of crime, sightings of new business openin

Lots of filmmakers have released films — both short and feature-length — that were made almost entirely with AI, and most have received scathing reviews and mockery. But we may soon have our largest test yet whether a cohesive story can be told while completely relying on AI-rendered characters and

You love to see it

I try to read a chapter of a nonfiction book every week night, and while I do enjoy it, it’s also a little bit of a chore. Not with this book though — it’s one of those rare titles where I reach the end of a chapter and just keep going. This stuff is like catnip to me.

The Peacock/YouTube partnership seems like a big deal simonowens.substack.com/p/the-peacoc...

Here’s some potentially good news for media companies: According to Press Gazette, a new study found that users of AI chatbots are more likely to trust their answers if they include citations to established media brands. Not only that, but users are more likely to click on the citation link if it’s

Like many media journalists, I’ve been closely tracking the rise of microdramas. While the format has built a genuine fanbase in the U.S., I remain skeptical of its mainstream potential—largely because the industry so often feels inherently spammy.

It's pretty sad that I'm actually rooting for Amazon here

OpenAI overpaid for TBPN and the acquisition made no sense as it pertains to the company’s business goals, but everyone saw the whopping 9-figure exit and is rushing to launch and/or invest in their own TBPN clones. Nobody tell them that these are just basically video podcasts that happen to be stre

When was the last time Bluesky shipped any meaningfully new features? I've never encountered a platform whose leaders are so anti-growth. A large portion of the online Left has sequestered itself on an app that's designed to be an extremely niche product.

I no longer have any clients, but I still dutifully input my previous day’s to-do list into the spreadsheet anyway.

If I ever have a biographer, they’re going to absolutely love me because for the past 10+ years I’ve recorded everything I’ve accomplished during the workday in a spreadsheet. It’s a holdover from when I was a consultant and needed to track my hours for client invoices.

A “grieving Trump”? Jesus.

YES. Once you start to notice his twitchy head cocks you can’t unnotice them. One of the most overrated actors

lol. David Ellison is so screwed. Because of this delay, he's going to have to pay hundreds of millions more in ticking fees, and he has to hope the AI bubble doesn’t pop in the meantime, because most of the acquisition is backed by Oracle stock.

So after basically turning Instagram into TikTok, Facebook’s grand innovation is to…also become TikTok? Of all the major tech companies, none benefits more from incumbency than Meta. It's hard to explain its continued dominance in digital advertising any other way. The company built such powerful n

This should be an impeachable offense by itself.

Really hope this is good youtu.be/0Dr8I_RyRCg?...

In some content categories, you can now make a somewhat comfortable living with a relatively small following. The key is operating in niches where there’s a rich affiliate ecosystem — like fashion or home goods. This allows them to supplement their income in between larger brand deals. Meanwhile, mo
