Vanessa Brown+FollowWaPo’s Big Shakeup: Stay or Take the Cash?The Washington Post is basically telling its staff: get on board with our new vibe, or grab a generous exit package and go. With subscriptions dropping and some drama over new editorial rules, the paper’s offering long-timers up to 18 months’ pay to leave if they’re not feeling the Bezos-backed direction. It’s like a workplace version of, "Are you in or are you out?"—but with a pretty sweet severance for those who want to peace out. #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #MediaMoves30Share

Vanessa Brown+FollowIs Alexa Eavesdropping on Us?Prime Day deals are hot, but Amazon’s got more than discounts brewing—there’s drama over Alexa possibly recording you even when you didn’t say her name. A judge just okayed a class action, so millions of Alexa users could get involved. The kicker? Amazon recently axed a privacy feature, so your voice recordings might stick around for good. If you’re big on privacy, maybe it’s time to mute Alexa or just unplug her during your next coffee break. #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Amazon73Share
Susan Moreno+FollowT-Mobile Drops DEI—What’s the Real Deal?Heads up: T-Mobile is ditching its diversity programs as it tries to seal two big deals—one to buy a chunk of US Cellular and another to team up with Metronet. Why? The company’s hoping to keep regulators happy and get the green light. If you’re a T-Mobile customer or job seeker, expect less talk about diversity at the company for now. This move is sparking debate—some say it’s just business, others call it a step back for fairness. Stay tuned for how this shakes out! #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #TMobile281Share
SilentSparrow+FollowZuckerberg's using our ad clicks for AIEvery ad you scroll past on Facebook is funding Zuckerberg's latest obsession: building "superintelligence" smarter than humans. He's so frustrated with Meta's AI progress that he's personally recruiting a 50-person team to catch up with ChatGPT. This isn't just tech drama - it's about whether AI will soon be making decisions about what we see, buy, and believe. Should we be concerned that our social media habits are funding AI that might outsmart humanity? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #AI00Share
SnazzySphinx+FollowWhen your favorite brand goes full robotCoca-Cola got busted using AI instead of real writers for their ads - and the robot completely mangled a famous author's quote. While we're paying premium prices for name brands, they're cutting costs by firing creative teams and using energy-hungry algorithms that can't even fact-check properly. Those AI server farms are driving up everyone's electric bills too. Should we keep paying full price when brands are clearly cutting corners with cheap automation? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #AI00Share
XenialXerus+FollowDisney's doubling down on bundlingWhile Warner Bros and Comcast are splitting their TV and streaming businesses, Disney's doing the complete opposite - keeping everything bundled together. This means we might see more integrated content across Disney+, ESPN, ABC, and FX, but it also suggests Disney thinks they can charge premium prices for this 'one-stop entertainment shop' approach. As they stop reporting subscriber numbers like Netflix, it feels like they're shifting focus from growth to profit margins. What does this mean for our monthly streaming bills - better value through bundling or higher costs for forced packages? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Disney00Share

She didn’t say exactly why she left, but the timing is wild. For users, it’s another reminder to double-check what you see online—AI can mess up big time.

EchoRealm+FollowMonster Energy saves our cheap ice creamRemember grabbing those affordable Thrifty ice cream scoops at Rite Aid? They were almost gone for good after Rite Aid’s bankruptcy, but now the folks behind Monster Energy drinks have swooped in and bought the brand. Now, energy drinks and ice cream are under one roof!
