Just received an email announcing MLS games will be included with Apple TV subscriptions (in US) beginning next season. No clue about the numbers but I'm guessing MLS Season Pass was a major bust.
As an MLS Fan, we're letting you know that starting in 2026 all Major League Soccer broadcasts and exclusive programming will be part of an Apple TV subscription — at no additional cost. The standalone MLS Season Pass Service will no longer be offered as a separate subscription. Apple TV subscribers will have access to every MLS match starting next season, as well as hundreds of exclusive Apple Original shows and movies, weekly MLB games with Friday Night Baseball and all Formula 1® races starting in 2026 for U.S. viewers.*

LOL I love how Mustafa Suleyman warns about the dangers of model welfare by just listing the dangers of AI in general.
Screenshot from Wired.com… Quote from Mustafa Suleyman, the CEO of Microsoft AI: “This is both premature, and frankly dangerous,” Suleyman wrote, referring generally to the field of model welfare research. “All of this will exacerbate delusions, create yet more dependence-related problems, prey on our psychological vulnerabilities, introduce new dimensions of polarization, complicate existing struggles for rights, and create a huge new category error for society.”

Just rewatched Primer (2004). IMO it holds up as one of the best time travel films ever. And the budget was just $7,000.
Movie poser for the film Primer (2004). It shows a machine in a dark room with wires spelling out the title, Primer.

The most underreported tragedy in the world is about to get worse. #Sudan
Screenshot from Reuters: CAIRO, Feb 26 (Reuters) - The World Food Programme, the largest provider of food aid in Sudan, said on Wednesday it was forced to pause food distributions in Sudan's famine-plagued Zamzam camp in North Darfur. The camp has been the target of repeated attacks by Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces who seek to uproot the army and allied forces from the region.

I’m sure this will be reassuring to businesses already apprehensive of building audiences and posting on X. The whole “I own your brand forever” pitch is flawless. Another masterstroke from the daring iconoclast.
www.nytimes.com/2024/11/26/b...
Musk’s lawyers argue that X accounts are not actually owned by users — and hence can’t be sold off. They say X’s terms and conditions make this clear. To underscore this, they note that X has the right to suspend or terminate accounts. “X Corp. is plainly the owner of the X Accounts and the Services, and the Trustee cannot sell, assign, or otherwise transfer what it does not own or have an interest in,” the objection states.

The Kremlin's foolproof plan to address Russia's rapidly declining birthrate: fine anyone who "portrays child-free lifestyles as attractive." LOL
www.nytimes.com/2024/11/12/w...
The State Duma, or lower house of Parliament, unanimously approved a bill that would ban any form of “propaganda” promoting the “refusal to have children.” That would include material on the internet, in media outlets, in movies and in advertising that portrays child-free lifestyles as attractive. Violators would be subjected to fines of up to about $4,000 for individuals and $50,000 for legal entities.
