This has gone viral on Twitter recently, showing the evolution of whales throughout history. What are your thoughts on this?

Inspired by this tweet that I saw earlier. I thought it was a very interesting question.

So who here has a vegetable garden? What kind of stuff do you like to grow or what does well in your area? I'm growing in about 700 sf (60m2) of space in southern Ontario. I've been starting to take pictures of each of my harvests since late August, which I've found is a fun and practical way to track how the garden is progressing through the season.

While the likes of turkey and Santa are holiday favs ms redface is the only one to make the promotion to a permanent emote. Did you see it coming she is so iconic she even has a spin-off for another holiday season

I had a list with AMC a-list pre pandemic where you pay 21 bux month and can see 3 films a week but after I tried the Regal unlimited and its like a dollar cheaper but you can see unlimited movies and food discounts . I must say it's nice to see everything that's out in a weekend (I can really do 3 movies a day at most) but it feels a bit like where I used to work for them and could see whatever I wanted for free. Beats sitting at the apt all the time lol. Have yall gotten a movie pass before?

THE GUARDIAN: Netflix accidentally posts guidelines for cracking down on password sharing “For a brief time yesterday, a help center article containing information that is only applicable to Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru went live in other countries. We have since updated it.” Although Netflix has yet to unveil its plans to tackle account sharing worldwide, the trial is the closest indication to what a global approach might look like. Netflix, which has 230 million subscribers worldwide, said last month that account sharing “undermines our long-term ability to invest in and improve Netflix”. It said more than 100m households were sharing accounts and that in the first three months of 2023 it expected to roll out paid sharing in other countries. “As we roll out paid sharing, members in many countries will also have the option to pay extra if they want to share Netflix with people they don’t live with,” the company said. Netflix said it recognised that restrictions on account sharing would be “a change for members who share their account more broadly”.

HOLLYWOOD REPORTER: DC Slate Unveiled: New Batman, Supergirl Movies, a Green Lantern TV Show, and More from James Gunn, Peter Safran VARIETY: New DC Universe Unveils First 10 Projects: ‘Superman: Legacy’ in 2025, Batman & Robin Movie, Green Lantern Series, Wonder Woman Prequel and More TV: Creature Commandos: an animated series, a team of classic monsters assembled to fight Nazis, this is a modern take on the concept Waller: A spin-off of Peacemaker, Viola Davis will return as the ruthless and morally ambiguous head of a government task force Lanterns: a new take on the space cops with power rings. “Our vision for this is very much in the vein of True Detective,” Safran described. “It’s terrestrial-based.” It will feature prominent Lantern heroes Hal Jordan and John Stewart. Paradise Lost: an HBO Max series as a Game of Thrones-style drama set on the all-female island that is Wonder Woman’s birthplace, Themyscira, filled with political intrigue and scheming between power players. Booster Gold: an HBO Max series based on a unique and lower-tiered hero created in 1986 FILM: July 11, 2025 Superman: Legacy: “It focuses on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. He is the embodiment of truth justice and the American way. He is kindness in a world that thinks that kindness as old-fashioned.” October 3, 2025The Batman Part II: Pattinson will continue to portray the Dark Knight in at least one more crime saga movie directed by Matt Reeves. ? The Authority: a movie based on a team of superheroes with rather extreme methods of protecting the planet that first originated in the late 1990s ? The Brave and the Bold: “This is the introduction of the DCU Batman,” said Gunn. “Of Bruce Wayne and also introduces our favorite Robin, Damian Wayne, who is a little son of a *****.” The movie will take inspiration from the now-classic Batman run written by Grant Morrison that introduced Batman to a son he never knew existed: a murderous tween raised by assassins. “It’s a very strange father-and-son story.” ? Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow: Supergirl, raised on a rock, a chip off of Krypton, and who watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life and then come to Earth. She is much more hardcore and not the Supergirl we’re used to. ? Swamp Thing: a horror film that promises to close out the first part of the first chapter. No directors have been attached to any projects (although they said they’re “very close” on signing at least a couple), and no actors are attached, either. The exception is Viola Davis, who will star in the HBO Max series “Waller” as the amoral, self-imposed superintendent of the DC universe, Amanda Waller. She originated the role in 2016’s “Suicide Squad.” Similarly, Safran and Gunn left the door open for Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller and Zachary Levi to continue playing their respective DC superheroes of Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Flash and Shazam, but Gunn reiterated that Henry Cavill will not continue as Superman. Otherwise, the execs said, they will be casting new actors in the roles.

BLOOMBERG: Netflix’s New Co-CEOs Answer All Your Questions Do you think it's realistic for one service to account for 25% of all video viewing in the US? Sarandos: For sure. When you say one service, that's coming up out of a media landscape that was very specialized. The networks had identities and programming. We program into all those verticals, which gives us the ability to do quality at scale across every genre of entertainment and globally. It is very rare that a show like Squid Game from Korea would be as global as it was. Within 30 hours, the world was watching Squid Game with no human intervention to try to market Squid Game to the world. Peters: We're just getting started to make Squid Game not an unusual thing, but basically something that happens literally every week. How has the evolution of the business affected your relationship with the creative community? Online there are constantly people outraged about shows getting canceled. Sarandos: We have never canceled a successful show. A lot of these shows were well-intended but talk to a very small audience on a very big budget. The key to it is you have to be able to talk to a small audience on a small budget and a large audience at a large budget. If you do that well, you can do that forever. We'll try a different numbers question. How many of the hundred million plus people who share a password will pay for their own Netflix account? Peters: Those people know how to watch Netflix. They've watched something on Netflix that they've loved. Our job is over the next couple of years to win all of them back. We won't do that out of the gate. Some of those folks are borrowing because they're more price sensitive, they're less engaged or whatever. But if we deliver a Wednesday every week, if we deliver a Glass Onion every week, we'll get the vast majority of those viewers back. How hard of a wall do they run into? Peters: We pride ourselves on being a great consumer experience and we don't want to that to change. This is a graduated approach, but the vast majority of people who are not paying for Netflix will have to pay for Netflix. It gets to a pretty firm kind of position. This is not gonna be a universally popular kind of event. There will be unhappy customers.

Vulture: Inside the VFX Union Brewing in Hollywood The dozens of workers I spoke with claim that while Marvel’s tendency to compensate contractual employees on a weekly basis (no matter how many hours worked) is common practice across the industry, it pays upward of 20 percent less than other studios when doing so. One visual-effects worker currently employed by the studio on a feature project estimates that they are completing approximately four times the amount of work they are being paid for. Patch says he was surprised to discover that Alonso and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige insisted on personally approving shots that require visual-effects work. Everybody’s giving their opinion, and sometimes they’re giving multiple notes on the same frames. Worse yet, VFX workers say that Marvel’s heads often choose to alter endings during the final stages of postproduction. This animator recalled a whole portion of an action sequence that hadn’t been storyboarded before postproduction. “It was just, ‘This hero avoids many things for this amount of time.’ Everything was blank. In 2022 alone, Marvel released four series, two stand-alone streaming specials and no fewer than three major films. That staggering output is unrivaled in the Hollywood studio system and, according to VFX workers, allows Marvel to operate as the industry’s biggest “bully,” threatening to cut off consistent work to those who run afoul of its expectations. The workers I spoke with said they fear the existence of a blacklist allegedly perpetuated by Marvel executives. “The blacklist is very talked about,” a Georgia-based VFX worker says. “I don’t know anyone that’s seen it for real. But it’s a common thing that comes up whenever effects people talk together. ‘If you do X, Y, or Z, Marvel will blacklist you and you won’t be working for them again. The biggest way to get on the blacklist is to leave a show early for any reason.” In January 2022, around 300 VFX production workers organized on a Slack channel under the name VFX Production Group and initiated a year-end poll comparing the salaries paid by various studios. The results revealed that a visual-effects coordinator can earn as little as $1,300 a week — $18.57 an hour on the lowest end. And almost instantly, there was an email that went out to producers and executives at Marvel that asked, ‘Where is this coming from? How do we stop it? Because we can’t have people talking about rates.’” A second Georgia-based VFX worker who read the email while employed on a Marvel sequel recalls producers and studio executives “getting all up in arms” about the poll. “My producer told me to find out who from my team was involved and to bring that information to my bosses,” says the VFX worker. “We’ve basically been told to shut up about our rates and not to talk about it to each other — which is illegal. I told them I didn’t know anything.” (Marvel declined to comment on its staffing processes.)

FINANCIAL TIMES: Warner Bros Discovery weighs sale of music library to pare debt Warner Bros Discovery is exploring a sale of its music library that could be valued at more than $1bn, according to people familiar with the matter, the latest move by chief executive David Zaslav to reduce debt at the sprawling Hollywood empire. The Warner Bros movie studio created a music division in the 1950s. In 2004 parent company Time Warner sold the music division, but the group retained its copyrights to a trove of songs, such as the soundtracks to the Batman films. Warner is shopping around this catalogue to potential buyers as it tries to capitalise on a hot market for music copyrights, said three people familiar with the matter. The assets could be worth more than $1bn, one of the people said. The process is in early stages and any deal would hold stipulations over access to and use of certain soundtracks, said one person close to the situation. The move comes after Zaslav’s team has axed prominent projects such as the CNN Plus streaming service, JJ Abrams’s HBO series Demimonde and the movie Batgirl during the final stages of its production.
