But the land has changed. The current season favors a different crop. The high, bright blooms of technology – the so-called Magnificent Seven – have drawn the sun and the rain, leaving the more humble dividend payers to struggle in the shade. For three years now, SCHD has trailed behind, a good ship caught in a current that runs against its sails. It’s not a failing, exactly, but a reckoning with the way things are.
After the actor publicly criticized the show’s creator, the writers unexpectedly killed off his character in an off-screen subway accident. However, the series finale surprisingly revealed the character hadn’t actually died, but had been secretly imprisoned for years. He managed to escape, only to be killed in the very last moments of the episode by a falling piano. This dramatic ending was clearly intended as a final, pointed jab at the actor.
A major lawsuit alleging a deeply problematic “frat boy” culture and widespread harassment at Activision Blizzard sparked one of the biggest employee walkouts in video game history. In 2021, workers protested after years of complaints about excessive crunch, a toxic work environment, and leadership’s failure to address these issues – all in the name of keeping the game’s content pipeline full. This walkout was a pivotal moment, as developers openly called for the company to take responsibility for the negative impact its practices had on employees.
New research reveals a surprisingly effective method for eliminating orientation-induced biases in vision-language and image generation models, leading to fairer and more robust AI.
Clutch your coffee; Ethereum, the market’s heartbeat, and the orbit of a global creator collide in a deal that makes the street mutter and the office workers snicker 😂.
Right now, everything looks deceptively pleasant. The Fed’s been fiddling with interest rates, GDP is inching upward, and everyone’s breathless about AI. It’s all very shiny and optimistic. But I’ve learned to distrust optimism. It’s usually a prelude to something deeply, profoundly irritating. Like a timeshare presentation disguised as a vacation.
The company’s growth rate, while still impressively robust at over 60%, is, inevitably, slowing down. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Constant exponential growth is, after all, thermodynamically impossible, and attempting to achieve it in the financial markets is rather like trying to build a house out of smoke. Recently, Nvidia has been attempting to ramp up production of its H200 AI chips, specifically for the Chinese market. This, on the surface, appears encouraging. But, as any seasoned observer of the universe will tell you, surfaces are notoriously deceptive.
Universal Fan Fest Nights has announced its first five immersive experiences, including both brand new adventures and some returning favorites. For 2026, guests can look forward to experiences themed around Scooby-Doo and the Universal Monsters, One Piece, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and Super Nintendo World.

Apparently, Goldman Sachs, those beacons of financial wisdom, decided to raise their price target from $255 to $282. Two hundred and eighty-two! It’s like they just pulled a number out of a hat. Based on… data center demand? Please. Everyone’s building data centers. It’s the new avocado toast. Suddenly, it’s a growth industry. I’m sure it’s very profitable for someone.
