What ties these writers together other than their choice of subject is the fact that they're all millennial tastemakers whose sensibilities have swept themselves into the currents of the contemporary online zeitgeist .... They're all witty, intelligent critics who have become adept at diagnosing the cultural ills of contemporary society over the course of fairly brief tenures in the public eye, but they also all belong to the demographic perhaps most afflicted by the modern crisis of form: young elites who have been exposed since their teenage years to the full brunt of the internet content deluge, untethered from though perhaps yearning for a self-contained and tradition-rich literary scene in which to make their way. from Everybody Wants to be Thomas Bernhard [House House Magazine]

LOS ANGELES (ANP) - Warner Bros. Discovery noemt het nieuwste overnamebod van entertainment- en mediaconcern Paramount Skydance "superieur" aan dat van Netflix. Dat laatste streamingbedrijf krijgt nu vier werkdagen om met een nog beter bod te komen om Warner Bros over te nemen.
Warner Bros deed deze melding na de beoordeling van Paramounts bod van zo'n 111 miljard dollar op het hele bedrijf. Eerder gaf het bedrijf de voorkeur aan een samensmelting van zijn tv- en filmstudio's en streamingdienst met Netflix in een deal van bijna 83 miljard dollar, waarover ook een fusiedeal was gesloten.
Dat akkoord met Netflix staat in principe nog steeds. Maar omdat Paramount een superieur overnamevoorstel heeft gedaan, heeft Warner Bros volgens de afspraken het recht om die overeenkomst te verbreken.
NEW YORK (ANP) - De aandelenbeurzen in New York zijn donderdag overwegend met verliezen de handel uitgegaan. Beleggers verwerkten de kwartaalresultaten van Nvidia. Die belangrijke ontwikkelaar van AI-chips overtrof weliswaar de verwachtingen met zijn omzet en winst, maar dat nam zorgen over de houdbaarheid van de forse investeringen van de techsector in AI niet weg.
De Dow-Jonesindex steeg een fractie tot 49.499,20 punten. De bredere S&P 500 verloor 0,5 procent tot 6908,86 punten en techbeurs Nasdaq verloor 1,2 procent tot 22.878,38 punten.
Nvidia eindigde ruim 4 procent lager. Ook andere grote chipbedrijven verloren aan waarde. Volgens analist Hardika Singh van Fundstrat Global Advisors kochten beleggers niet massaal aandelen van het chipbedrijf, omdat Nvidia vrijwel altijd de verwachtingen overtreft.
Apple's iPhone and iPad running iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 have become the first consumer mobile devices cleared for NATO-restricted classified data. No special software or settings are required. MacRumors reports: Apple's devices are the first and only consumer mobile products that have reached this government certification level after security testing and evaluation by the German government. iPhones and iPads running iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 are now certified for use with classified data in all NATO nations.
In an announcement of the security clearance, Apple touted its security features: "Apple designs security into all of its products from the start, ensuring the most sophisticated protections are built in across hardware, software, and Apple silicon. This unique approach allows Apple users to benefit from industry-leading security protections such as best-in-class encryption, biometric authentication with Face ID, and groundbreaking features like Memory Integrity Enforcement. These same protections are now recognized as meeting stringent government and international security requirements, even for restricted data."

European Anti-Fraud Office to look into the former US ambassador’s time as trade commissioner in Brussels
Peter Mandelson is facing an inquiry by the EU’s anti-fraud agency after the European Commission requested the body look into his activities during his time as trade commissioner in Brussels.
The commission said it referred the peer, 72, to the European Anti-Fraud Office (Olaf) last week after the US Department of Justice released documents allegedly showing he shared sensitive government information with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The second cut on disc 39 of his most recent double album, “The Fall-Off Is Inevitable” unfolds J. Cole’s life and professional career through a backward-moving narrative. Directed by Palestinian-American filmmaker Ryan Doubiago, the track’s accompanying music video visually captures the feeling of reminiscence, as the rapper looks back on his journey thus far.
Though each scene takes place within the same studio walls through a looping cycle, viewers move through a multitude of defining moments: a funeral scene, a wedding, writing music in solitude, and rewatching home videos from 1992. Because it’s shot on film, the grain and warm color grading strengthen the through line of nostalgia and memory.
“For the past 10 years, this album has been hand crafted with one intention: a personal challenge to myself to create my best work,” the musician states in the video’s opening slate. “To do on my last what I was unable to do on my first.”
At the video’s close, he looks back as a stream of studio equipment floats behind him, tying together a full-circle ending. The Fall-Off is Cole’s seventh and final album, and he is evidently taking it all in—down to selling CDs out of his Honda Civic trunk again, for $1.
