Horror is my everything. You'll rarely catch me at a time in my life when I'm not reading, watching, or playing something in the genre. If you can relate, then you surely also love the Halloween season, because it's a time when so many others try to match your vibe, if only for a few weeks. Even for folks too scared to play horror games themselves, many like to watch others play them on Twitch.

How much money have you spent on the air you breathe? Air? Yes, air! We store all resources -movies, music, literature, and our own precious creations - in a metaphorical cloud that holds binary 0/1s. But the binary is a misconception, there is no cloud.

Streaming services are like candy stores for your eyeballs. One minute you're deep into a superhero saga, and the next you're watching a true-crime doc about someone stealing zoo animals. Platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and YouTube keep audiences glued by mixing everything: action, romance, horror, and even weird cooking shows where people bake cakes shaped like trainers. It's that constant switch-up that makes it fun. Variety keeps people curious, and curiosity keeps people watching. Who can resist the 'Next Episode' button, anyway? It's practically hypnotic.
It's an easy-to-use HD webcam that makes you look and sound 100x better than your built-in laptop camera. The name of the game here is automation. The Brio 505 has got a USB-C plug-in that makes it easy to use right out of the box. So while Logitech's software for advanced settings is still great, you don't need it for the webcam to achieve optimal image and sound quality.
Fans are continuing to change the tune of how they consume music. It was recently reported that MTV was going to stop broadcasting five channels, including MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live in the United Kingdom, and that the channels would go dark the end of this year. (Its flagship channel, MTV HD, will continue to air reality series.)
This week, I've been reading about Intel factories and Nobel Prize winners and ATM thieves, watching this pop-punk "Defying Gravity" cover on repeat, reliving my teenage music taste now that The Format is back, catching up on the new Critical Role campaign, taking all my calls with the delightful Pop Phone handset, watching more Love Is Blind than I'm proud of, sending this deep dive on RSS readers to anyone who hasn't blocked me,
In the music, TV and film industries, streaming has completely upended the business model. Instead of buying albums and films, most of us pay for a few subscriptions depending on what we want to watch, and maybe supplement that with the odd vinyl or special-edition Blu-ray. This has been pretty terrible for musicians, who earn approximately $0.004 per play on Spotify, while Spotify itself made $1bn in profit last year (admittedly after many years of operating losses).
🔹 What is an Accumulator? In Play, an Accumulator represents a streaming computation that consumes incoming request body chunks and eventually produces a result. Its type is: Accumulator[E, A] E: the type of incoming chunks (often ByteString) A: the final result once the stream completes (often a Result) Think of it as a pipe: It gathers chunks of request data → processes them asynchronously → produces a final response.
We heard Californians loud and clear, Newsom said in a statement, and what's clear is that they don't want commercials at a volume any louder than the level at which they were previously enjoying a program.
Leeds United are continuing to surprise a few given their start to the Premier League season, as soon in their most recent outing, a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth.

The event drew a record 127.7 million viewers - Tubi had 24 million unique viewers - supercharging ad rates and proving free access can rival paid models for live spectacles.
Alexa Plus is coming to a bunch of Amazon's new and current Fire TV hardware. Just like before, you can summon the new, improved version of Alexa with your voice, but it's designed to be much more helpful and better at fetching context-sensitive information about things happening onscreen that you might normally reach for your phone to find. The company shared some ways in which Alexa Plus supercharges its X-Ray feature that tells you more about the content you're watching on Prime Video.
Yet for as many 99-cent songs as were purchased in the 2000s, anyone who spent time on that era's file-sharing networks can verify that the LP was still the most important unit for music obsessives. And it has remained so-albums are the venue for the most niche and audacious creative projects; they remain the organizing principle for press cycles and stadium tours; no one has gold mp3s hanging on their studio walls.
Fall brings colder weather, sweaters, pumpkin-flavored treats, and new television shows to binge-watch. Historically, TV networks used the autumn season to launch their new programming because it coincided with big advertising agencies' spending schedules after a slow summer of reruns. Today, thanks to cable TV and streaming, the rules have altered, but the fall still maintains its dominance-especially since audiences have been so well trained.
YouTube TV has refused the best rates and terms in the market, demanding preferential treatment and seeking an unfair advantage over competitors to dominate the video marketplace- all under the false pretense of fighting for the consumer.
Limp Bizkit put a chart-topping musician's name in the title of their new single, and it paid off with some chart-topping of their own. The nu-metal band's recently released song "Making Love to Morgan Wallen" has landed at No. 1 on multiple Billboard charts. According to , the single garnered 2.6 million US streams and 639,000 radio audience impressions, while selling 2,000 downloads in the week ending September 18th.
Crunchyroll will bring a bunch of the biggest manga series to the anime streaming service on October 9 with the launch of Crunchyroll Manga. While there are other manga reader services out there, the fact that lots of people already have a Crunchyroll sub and that Crunchyroll Manga brings many different publishers under a single roof has the potential to make it one of the most convenient options out there for keeping up with One Piece and other big series.
About three-quarters of U.S. adults said they watched a new movie on streaming instead of in the theater at least once in the past year, according to the survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, including about 3 in 10 who watched new movies on streaming at least once a month.
As such, Trump Media has expanded its offerings in the hopes of attracting more customers, including a new artificial intelligence search tool, in partnership with Perplexity, that frequently contradicts many of Trump's own statements. But the most peculiar of these bonus features may be Truth+, an entire streaming service available, mostly, for free. Of all the cash-intensive goodies now made available to Trump's most die-hard stans, the Truth+ streamer is the most elaborate and overlooked.
The San Francisco 49ers battle the Arizona Cardinals in their home opener at Levi's Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 21 at 1:25 p.m. PDT. The Niners are coming off consecutive road victories to open the season, including a 26-21 win in New Orleans with backup quarterback Mac Jones directing the offense. Arizona comes in at 2-0 on the season, as well, after beating the Saints and Panthers. Brock Purdy just may make his return for the 49ers as he returned to practice this week.

However, it expects 600 positions will be axed. About two-thirds of jobs to go are understood to be at sites in Leeds, London and Livingston, West Lothian. Since 2023, Sky has cut almost 3,000 roles including engineers installing satellite dishes and earlier this year it announced the closure of three call centres, slashing 2,000 jobs.
