Four years after Quibi’s $1.75 billion crashout, its successors are flying high.
Apps like DramaBox and ReelShort are betting on short-form. They present feature-length films, diced into consumable minutes-long bites akin to a TikTok.

The weeks after an election are open season for pet political theories. An electorate as massive and sprawling as America’s will never swing on just one thing. But that’s no fun to admit.

But among the Monday-morning quarterbacks of social media, one strain of analysis seems poised to rule them all: that liberals need to find their own version of Jo
Some 2.3 million U.S. adults over 65—more than 4%—have a diagnosis of dementia. But even without a diagnosis, a certain amount of cognitive decline is normal as age sets in.

On Tuesday, President-elect Donald Trump named Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as cochairs of a new Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. This appointment allows Musk the opportunity to simultaneously do two things that are very important to him: publicly complain about government policies that cost him money, and tweet deeply unfunny jokes about the fact that the acronym is also the name
Over the past 15 years, sports and entertainment company Dude Perfect—which started as a YouTube channel where five best friends posted videos of trick shots in different sports—has grown into a media juggernaut with attendant cruises, toy lines, and TV deals.

More than 33,000 people—including a hall of fame of AI experts—signed a March 2023 open letter calling on the tech industry to pause development of AI models more powerful than OpenAI’s GPT-4 for six months rather than continue the rush toward Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI. “Powerful AI systems should
