Social Media Paid Subscriptions Are Coming. How Much Would You Pay? - Forbes

One report at Engadget theorized that the social media app formerly known as Twitter (now called X) might offer three different subscription “tiers” for those who hate ads. The news came by way of Bloomberg and mentioned how an X user sifted through some code for the iOS version of the app.

Apparently, the code revealed three different payment plans, including Basic, Standard and Plus. There were no guesses about how much each plan would cost, but Basic would show most ads, Standard would show about 50% fewer ads, and Plus would not show any ads.

Meanwhile, Meta is still muling the idea of charging Facebook users in Europe a monthly fee (possibly around $14 per month) to avoid legal issues related to collecting private information.

The massive inflation of housing and the stock market has made the average American household worth $193,000, Federal Reserve finds - Fortune

The net worth of the typical U.S. household grew at the fastest pace in more than three decades from 2019 through 2022, while relatively low interest rates at that time made it easier for households to pay their debts, according to a government report Wednesday.

Wealth for the median household — the midpoint between the richest and poorest households — jumped 37% during those three years to nearly $193,000, the Federal Reserve reported in its Survey of Consumer Finances. (The figures are adjusted for inflation.)

The increase reflected primarily a jump in home values and higher stock prices and a rise in the proportion of Americans who own homes and stocks. One in five households owned stocks directly at the end of 2022, while surging real-estate prices brought home values to record highs.

6 Tips On How To Write A Cover Letter For An Internship, With Example - Forbes

It’s your initial opportunity to gain hands-on experience, improve your skills, and make valuable contributions to your field. While internships can be both paid and unpaid, they are often difficult to get, and writing a well-written cover letter can give you a competitive advantage over the other candidates. By highlighting your interest in the position, qualifications, and suitability for the role, you will improve your chances of being selected. Here are expert tips on how to write a cover letter for an internship.

Researching the company before writing your cover letter shows that you are genuinely interested in becoming an intern for them. By studying the company’s mission, values, and culture, it gives you the opportunity to decide whether you want to work with them, and whether the company aligns with your goals and needs. By showing the company you have taken the time to research this, you let them know that you are serious about the position.

It is helpful to understand that there will be many people applying to the same internship. Therefore, you should make the effort to stand out by writing an attention-grabbing and engaging first paragraph. Start with a confident and strong opening line about why you are interested in the position. Discuss how you found out about the opportunity, whether through a personal connection, job website, or their company website. Additionally, express your enthusiasm (and not desperation) for wanting to take on the role.

The 22 Most Exciting Films to Watch This Season - The Atlantic

The ongoing Hollywood strikes may have dimmed the usual glitz that comes with the fall festival circuit—the star-studded red carpets, the applause-filled Q&As, the endless photo shoots—but this year’s Toronto International Film Festival still featured hundreds of new titles from established auteurs and first-time filmmakers alike. Earlier this month, my colleague David Sims and I caught as many of TIFF’s offerings as we could, leaving with plenty of movies to discuss and recommend. Below, David and I have rounded up our favorites from this year’s festival, most of which will be in theaters or streaming before long. — Shirley Li

Kitty Green quickly proved herself a master of the slow-burn nightmare with 2019’s The Assistant, a film starring Julia Garner as a young woman forced to tolerate her unseen studio-executive boss’s sexual indiscretions. In her follow-up, Green casts Garner as a young woman backpacking across Australia with her best friend (Jessica Henwick). When the pair take bartending jobs in a male-dominated remote mining town to make some cash, they dress for work, not for play—no skirts, no heels—and even claim to be Canadian to ward off judgment about their American backgrounds. But the line between a gaze and a leer can be terribly thin—and The Royal Hotel shows in taut, tense sequences how being accommodating only works so well as a defense mechanism. — Shirley Li

The winner of this year’s Palme D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Justine Triet’s French legal drama is amassing buzz as one of the fall’s clear art-house breakouts. The plot is straight out of a ’90s paperback best seller—a novelist (played by Sandra Hüller) is arrested for murder after her husband dies in a fall at their mountain home, and must fight to prove her innocence during a long and complex trial. But Triet’s film delves beyond the (thrillingly showy) French legal system and into the intricacies of a troubled marriage, asking the audience to consider whether every subtle sign of decay in a partnership should amount to motive. The film works largely because Hüller, a German actress probably best known for her role in Toni Erdmann, gives an extraordinary performance already being tipped for Oscar success. — David Sims
