►Excerpt from CNET:
'
witter's new owner and CEO,Elon Musk, has been making dramatic changes since he finalized a deal to buy the company for about $44 billion on Oct. 27. After laying off half the staff, he gave remaining employees an ultimatum this week to pledge to work under his new intense culture or get out. Many, it seems, decided to leave.
Twitter's saga with Musk, who also runs automaker Tesla and aerospace company SpaceX, was chaotic even before he took control. He signed a deal in April to acquire the company but then attempted to back out of it, leading Twitter to sue him. After months of pretrial skirmishes, Musk closed the acquisition just before a court-ordered deadline.
Here's the most recent news about Musk's takeover of Twitter:
Nov. 17: Twitter users fear end is near. Musk locks office doors. Many employees take severance. Senators want investigation
Twitter users started tweeting farewell remarks as #RIPTwitter trended on the platform in the US and other parts of the world.
Fears about a potential collapse of the site came after hundreds of employees decided to leave the company earlier in the day. One former Twitter employee told The Washington Post that there's no longer a "skeleton crew manning the system."
Twitter "will continue to coast until it runs into something, and then it will stop," the employee said.
Musk tweeted a meme with Twitter's logo on a grave stone.
The remaining 3,500 or so employees who were left at Twitter after thousands were laid off had a choice to make at the end of the day on Nov. 17: Remain under Musk's plan for an intense "Twitter 2.0" or leave with three months of severance pay.
Up to 75% of remaining employees chose the exit,according to Fortune and Bloomberg, creating confusion about how many remaining people would have access to the offices. The Verge reported that those who left includedsome "legendary" engineers and coders.

How Ryan Reynolds could BUY the Ottawa Senators: ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ Style Docuseries Ownership
Ryan Reynolds could potentially buy the Ottawa Sentors if they structured the purchase around the ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ blueprint. A ownership model paired with a sports docuseries about the NHL's very own hockey team, the Ottawa Senators.
Ryan Reynolds net worth in 2022 is 150 Million, but he would need a partner in purchasing the team. As the according to Forbes the Ottawa Senators are worth $525 US.

►Excerpt from The Athletic:
'He has more than just movie star money — and is willing to spend it
The reason Reynolds was even involved in the purchase of Wrexham?
Well, buying a soccer team is expensive and McElhenney said he needed more than just his own “TV money.” He needed “superhero, movie star, alcohol baron, mobile phone services, cyber security, and whatever else Reynolds is involved in” money.
Being a movie star doesn’t get you controlling ownership in an NHL team. Neither would Reynolds’ other stakes. But he seems quite involved with building a diversified business portfolio. He launched a film production company, Maximum Effort, in 2018,the same year hebought Aviation Gin, which sold for $610 million in 2020 (though Reynolds retains stake in the company); he purchased an ownership stake in Mint Mobile in 2019, and invested in 1Password and Wealthsimple.
This isn’t just Deadpool trying to buy a hockey team.
Again, NHL ownership is quite different from the fifth tier of English professional football. Reynolds and McElhenney own 100 percent of Wrexham Football Club. That certainly will not be the slice of the pie Reynolds would have in the Ottawa Senators, which was recently valued by Sportico at $655 million U.S., and could sell for much more than that in a competitive auction.
Still, a significant takeaway from the series is that when it came time to spend on Wrexham FC, Reynolds did. He and McElhenney spent hundreds of thousands of dollars refurbishing the pitch and went over budget on their player expenditures after bringing in big-ticket players to help the team.
It certainly wouldn’t hurt to have someone involved in the Senators ownership group who has shown the openness to spend money he might not get back.'

Brendan Fraser Won't Attend the Golden Globes If Nominated
Brendan Fraser said he won't attend the Golden Globes if nominated for his film The Whale, due to his history with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

►Excerpt from cbc.ca:
''My mother didn't raise a hypocrite'
"I have more history with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association than I have respect for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association," Fraser told GQ Magazine in acover story published Wednesday.
Asked whether he'll be involved with the ceremony if nominated, Fraser said, "No, I will not participate."
"It's because of the history that I have with them," he said. "And my mother didn't raise a hypocrite. You can call me a lot of things, but not that."
In Darren Aronofsky's The Whale,which opens in theatres on Dec. 9, Fraser plays a reclusive English teacher living with obesity who attempts to reconnect with his estranged daughter.
He's nominated for outstanding lead performance at the upcoming Gotham Awards and is widely considered a likely best actor nominee at the Academy Awards.
Fans reach for autographs as Fraser walks the TIFF red carpet. Last year's Golden Globes were all but cancelled after the HFPA, the organization behind the awards, was plunged into scandal over ethical indiscretions and the revelation that it did not, at the time, include any Black voting members. (Evan Mitsui/CBC)
Inappropriate touch meant as joke,HFPAsaid
After an internal investigation, the HFPA concluded that Berk "inappropriately touched" Fraser, who in 2003 had recently starred in the acclaimed drama The Quiet American.
But the HFPA said the incident"was intended to be taken as a joke and not as a sexual advance." Berk remained a member of the group until his expulsion in 2021.
"I knew they would close ranks," Fraser told GQ.
"I knew they would kick the can down the road. I knew they would get ahead of the story. I knew that I certainly had no future with that system as it was," he said.
"I think it was because it was too prickly or sharp-edged or icky for people to want to go first and invest emotionally in the situation." '

Outrage and the Internet
In this video essay on why rage, anger and hate rules the internet and social media (spoiler its because our brains love outrage). So next time you rage quite over someone's stupid post, know they are most likely rage farming you.
Semir Zeki, co-authored a study: ‘Neural Correlates of Hate’ which concluded that love & Hate are intrinsically linked, stating: ‘to the biologist, hate is a passion that is of equal interest to love.’ This is most likely why we pay attention to posts that get us angry.
Negative emotions can be just as powerful if not more so at grabbing an audience's attention than positive emotions. There’s no better example of that than the genius that is Andy Kaufman. He’d regularly troll his audience - Andy Kaufman began wrestling women during his act and proclaimed himself "Inter-Gender Wrestling Champion of the World."
Social media companies benefit greatly from our outrage, entertainers, and politicians are thus encouraged to make rage farming posts for attention.
Neuroscientist, Molly J. Crockett details how moral outrage content is the most engaging, increasing retweets by 20%. *clip from Molly J, Crocket. By creating an information ecosystem, the most outrageous content will float to the top. This directly incentivises humanity to be wild, you will get more attention if you trigger people's outrage.
Algorithms are designed to grab our attention, unfortunately outrageous posts make us feel like we are forced to reply: It forces you to take a stance and get involved whether you like it or not. The poser gets a ton of attention from a ton of people who wouldn’t have heard of them otherwise. They use our anger to give them visibility on social media.

Kanye West Blames Europe's Richest Billionaire Bernard Arnsault for Kim Kardashian Divorce
Kanye 'Ye' West on the Lex Fridman podcast blamed LVMH co-founder & worlds second richest man (according to Forrbes) Billionaire and LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault Bernard Arnsault for his divorce to Kim Kardashian, and the death of his best friend Virgal Abloh owner of Off White.

►MY TAKE►
I think Kanye west has a weird way of processing traumatic events in his life and he honestly needs help.
►Excerpt from Forbes:
'Kanye West baselessly accused LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault—one of the richest people in the word—of “KILL[ING] MY BEST FRIEND” on Tuesday, seemingly alluding to late Louis Vuitton menswear director and Off-White founder Virgil Abloh, who died last year from a rare form of cancer, the latest escalation of West’s feud with the billionaire fashion executive.
It’s not clear if West’s “war” comment was pointed toward Arnault or a fashion editor whom he also attacked online for critiquing his “WHITE LIVES MATTER” apparel. West posted, and later deleted, photos of the editor, used their name and shared a screenshot of their Instagram profile. Members of the fashion community rushed to the editor’s defense, including model Gigi Hadid, who called West “a bully and a joke” for his rebukes. “You wish u had a percentage of her intellect… As if the ‘honor’ of being invited to your show should keep someone from giving their opinion,” Hadid commented on one of West’s posts.
Forbes Valuation
$153.8 billion. That’s the estimated net worth of Arnault and his family, making him the second richest person on Earth, behind Elon Musk. West has an estimated net worth of $2 billion, which could shrink significantly if he formally cuts ties with Adidas, which he said he plans to do.

Cancel Culture Doesn't Work
The problem with Cancel Culture is that it has its roots in the culture of Hollywood blacklisting, but now the power belongs to random strangers on the internet, so it simple Doesn't work. Amber Heard got Johnny Depp Canceled or 'Blacklisted' as i put it in this video. To benefit herself, this shows that the power of cancel culture is to much for twitter and woke culture.
The most recent example of Cancel culture not working is the cancellation of Brendan Fraser because he spoke out about what happen to him, he alleging that former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) Philip Berk was grabby with him.
We need to value people and let them grow, unless they are breaking the law - then they should go to jail.

►Excerpt from Lad Bible:
'The 53 year old said: "His left hand reaches around, grabs my *** cheek, and one of his fingers touches me in the taint. And he starts moving it around. I felt ill.
"I felt like a little kid. I felt like there was a ball in my throat. I thought I was going to cry... In my mind, at least, something had been taken away from me."
After his shocking revelation, Fraser received a written apology but claims he found himself shut out from the HFPA and the Golden Globes awards, leading him to wonder if he'd been blacklisted.
However, he now seems to be coming back strong, with fans excited for his return to acting.'

Why Late Night Comedy Sucks: Pandering over Punchlines
Late Night comedy is dead! Here's why Late Night shows are not funny anymore:
Late Night Show's used to be America's go to for comedy, now they suck. Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, Samantha Bee, Seth Meyers, and Last Week Tonight Host - John Oliver have all, in my opinion prioritized pandering over the punchline, the comedy, the 'ha ha' moment. As Comedian Dave Chappelle said while giving Jon Stewart the Mark Twain Award, "they tell wokes not jokes". To be fair some more than others.... I still love you John Oliver!

►MY TAKE►
I am happy for the victims of Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffery Epstein but I truely believe Ghislaine will be out of prison in 8-10 years on good behavior, she has also already served 2 years of her sentence since she got arrested on July 2, 2020.
►Excerpt from Newyork Times:
'Ghislaine Maxwell, the former socialite who conspired with Jeffrey Epstein to sexually exploit underage girls, was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Tuesday by a judge who said she played a pivotal role in facilitating a horrific scheme that spanned continents and years.
Ms. Maxwell, 60, the daughter of the British media magnate Robert Maxwell, was convicted on Dec. 29 of sex trafficking and other counts after a monthlong trial during which the government presented testimony and evidence depicting Ms. Maxwell as a sophisticated predator who groomed vulnerable young women and girls as young as 14 years old for abuse by Mr. Epstein
Outside the courthouse, one of Maxwell’s lawyers, Bobbi C. Sternheim, spoke with reporters, saying that her client had been “vilified,” “pilloried” and “tried and convicted in the court of public opinion.”
Sternheim said that Maxwell would appeal, and suggested that jurors had looked upon her as a stand-in for Jeffrey Epstein, who she said had escaped accountability: “Clever and cunning to the end, Jeffery Epstein left Ghislaine Maxwell holding the whole bag.”

As the sentence was read, Maxwell stood between her two lawyers and made no discernible facial expression. She left the courtroom afterward without speaking to her family members, who were seated in the bench directly behind her.'
