TWITTER VS WIKIPEDIA

Elon Musk blasted Wikipedia for apparently considering the deletion
of a page about the so-called “Twitter Files”, saying it has a
“left-wing bias.” Musk had teased the release of the “Twitter
Files” last week saying he would expose “free speech
suppression” by the platform before he took over.

Amazon has moved business online, and labor law requires that the
union be able to move its picket line online too. The union could
produce a video of picketing workers along with a brief text statement
explaining the union’s position (which could include a hyperlink to
the union’s website for customers seeking more information — the
equivalent to handing out a leaflet on the picket line).

The festival was born to platform films that reassert the humanity of
migration and portray migrants as people, no more or less.
This orientation has guided our programming choices. Increasingly, we
have found fiction to be a powerful tool in changing how audiences
view the realities of migration.

Following the murder of George Floyd more than 200 tech companies,
including tech giants Amazon, Apple, and Facebook, made unprecedented
pledges to confront structural racism within their

primarily fallen flat.
DISNEY AT 100

By Pamela McClintock
The Hollywood Reporter
A look at the playbook created by Walt Disney and refined over a
century of theme-park rides becoming movies, movies becoming Broadway
shows, and merch coming out of it all, from such indelible IP as
‘Snow White,’ Marvel and ‘The Lion King’: “There’s a
psychological response to Disney that other studios don’t have.”
