IMDb Adds 'Digital Creator' Profiles For the First Time

IMDb is introducing "Digital Creator" as a new professional category on IMDb and IMDbPro, giving streamers, vloggers, influencers, video essayists, and other online creators a "dedicated way to represent [their] work and connect with audiences, industry peers, and potential employers," according to IMDb. Variety reports: The category includes sub-professions to further specify their work, including "Streamer," "Vlogger," "Video Essayist," "Video Creator," "Gaming Creator" and "Influencer."

The "Digital Creator" designation functions as a professional category on IMDb and IMDbPro. Creators can feature multiple professions on their page, so someone who is both a digital creator and an actor can "represent the full scope of their work in one place," per the company. No existing film or TV credits are required to establish a profile as a Digital Creator.

Automattic's Board Forces CEO Matt Mullenweg Into Leave of Absence

Automattic's board has placed founder and CEO Matt Mullenweg on a paid leave of absence against his will, with CFO Mark Davies taking over as interim CEO. The reason for the move remains unclear, but it follows years of legal fights, layoffs, employee departures, and controversy surrounding Mullenweg's leadership. TechCrunch reports: Earlier Wednesday, Mullenweg posted in a Slack channel visible to all employees that the company's chief financial officer, Mark Davies, had "conspired" with other board members Ann Dunwoody, Toni Schneider, and Sue Decker to vote to put Mullenweg on a paid leave of absence.

The message read: "And the biggest news: I won't be able to make the [meeting] tomorrow. @Mark Davies has conspired with @Ann Dunwoody, @Toni, and @Sue Decker behind my back and they voted to put me on a paid leave of absence. I voted against that. Wishing Mark and all of you the very best. To clarify @Mark Davies was voted as interim CEO. I received the resolution 50 minutes before the meeting start, and requested repeatedly for time to have it reviewed by independent legal counsel, even a few hours, which was denied."

A Slack message to the open source WordPress.org community from the project's executive director, Mary Hubbard, also confirmed Mullenweg's change of status at the commercial company. However, Hubbard said that WordPress.org was not impacted. "Matt remains the leader of the WordPress project and I remain Executive Director of WordPress. Our teams, priorities, and work continue as planned," she wrote.

It’s also worth noting that Patrick Dorgu starts at left-back tonight, for the first time under Carrick. Bought for Ruben Amorim, really he’s a specialist wing-back – not a defender because his awareness isn’t great, nor his ability to pass the ball out from the back, nor a winger because he lacks finesse and one-on-one ability – he starts at the back tonight mainly because Shaw is rested and there’s no better option. But if he’s to have a future as a starter, it feels much more likely it’ll be at the back than in attack – though, as we’ve seen he’s got a worldie in him.

Thinking more about that United defence, this is a big evening for Leny Yoro. He was pretty good in his first season at Old Trafford, but didn’t get to play much last; ultimately, Carrick couldn’t afford to risk him because he had a formula that worked – Maguire and Martinez, plus fast counters – with points to win and a job to secure.

Rijnmond - Nieuws

Het laatste nieuws van vandaag over Rotterdam, Feyenoord, het verkeer en het weer in de regio Rijnmond

Floating Farm gaat zich richten op groente, fruit en eiwitten: 'Als het aan ons ligt zijn we nog lang niet weg'

De Rotterdamse Floating Farm start een nieuw hoofdstuk. Een paar weken geleden kreeg de bekende drijvende boerderij te horen dat de koeien weg moesten, vanwege ingetrokken emissierechten en strenge eisen. Maar het bedrijf gaat niet bij de pakken neer zitten: nieuwe plannen liggen al in het verschiet.

Doodziek. Volt Enschede niet bij herdenking razzia, eist aandacht voor Gaza en geeft Israël schuld van antisemitisme

Dat je te begaaid bent om naar de herdenking van de razzia in Twente te komen: a la. Dat je eist dat er bij een herdenking van een specifieke jacht op een specifieke bevolkingsgroep ook aandacht is voor Gaza: beetje raar. Dat je vervolgens die eis in een open brief aan media stuurt en daaraan toevoegt dat de stijging van het aantal antisemitische incidenten te maken heeft met de daden van Israël en dat een herdenking van een verschrikkelijke antisemitische gebeurtenis daarom islamitische inwoners (!) het gevoel kan geven (!) dat hun ervaringen worden vergeten: volkomen van de pot gerukt. Welkom bij Volt Enschede, welkom bij fractievoorzitter Anne Kaal, luister even wat de organisatie te zeggen heeft aub. 

"Bert Oude Engberink - lid van het organiserende comité en voorganger bij de Liberaal Joodse Gemeente Twente - zegt donderdagavond in zijn openingswoord juist een boodschap van 'gezamenlijk pijn voelen' en de huidige tijd te verkondigen. Maar hij laat desgevraagd weten dat de herdenkingsbijeenkomst geen plek is om politiek te bedrijven. "Wij als comité gaan ons niet uitspreken tegen het regeringsbeleid van Israël, hoe links of rechts die ook is, zoals we dat ook niet over de Nederlandse regering doen. Wij gedenken de vermoorde Twentenaren, die bij deze razzia werden weggehaald.""
