Following the success of TikTok and Instagram Reels, Disney announced that it’s bringing short-form video content to Disney+ in the U.S. this year in a bid to boost daily engagement.

The storyline of Oregon facing a Miami team led by former coach Mario Cristobal in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game would have been juicy, but it wasn’t meant to be. No. 1 seed Indiana demolished the No. 5 seed Ducks 56-22 in Friday night’s Peach Bowl, sending Oregon’s second consecutive 13-win season to an abrasive end.While the 2025 campaign brought the Ducks’ second straight CFP appearance and third straight 12+ win season under fourth-year coach Dan Lanning, it also lacked substance. Oregon’s 11-1 regular season featured just one win against a team that finished in the final CFP…

You might think it’s pretty weird to hear the founders of a VR company and a social media platform publicly complaining about how things used to be better back in the dial-up days. Nevertheless, that is what happened at CES on Wednesday, when Oculus creator Palmer Luckey and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian gave a joint talk about the joys of “tech nostalgia.” Luckey, who initially made his fortune in VR and now runs the defense contractor Anduril, and Ohanian both seemed to agree: Stuff was better in the old days. The catch, however, is that Luckey and Ohanian weren’t really…

Fannie Mae and Freddie, which are in government conservatorship, do not originate home loans. They buy loans…

Yorgos Lanthimos‘ Bugonia is a remake of Save the Green Planet!, though in many ways it’s far less out there than the 2003 South Korean original. And while the basic premise—a conspiracy theorist kidnaps a powerful executive he believes to be an alien planning to destroy Earth—is the same in both films, the nuances of what a conspiracy theorist looks and acts like have been tweaked to serve an America, circa 2025, version of that story. In a new interview with Deadline, Bugonia screenwriter Will Tracy keyed in on the character of Teddy, played with just the right jittery, damaged…

Traitors holds a particular space in our collective psyche, it being at once a delectable and somehow heart-warming show where people stab their best mates in the back.
