Warren Buffett's son Howard has given $500M to Ukraine — he warns the US is making a historic mistake by pulling its support Howard Buffett's foundation, largely funded by his father Warren Buffett's contributions, has given $500 million in humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

The 2025 Oscars Show Us Why We Need More Indie Films Bing Chen argues that the struggling independent film industry is responsible for our most important stories.

Last week, our friends at @TIME and @ElevatePrize let
@GoldHouseCo share why indies matter more than ever--and how to expand their viability. Hindsight is 20/20, but now, with Sean Baker and Anora's historic win last night, we hope it helps more!

Despite being the biggest popcorn franchise fan, I've bemoaned the slow death of indies. In these contractive phases, large incumbents retreat from innovation and become blind to more niche needs...

And the award for best charisma AND most emotional moment on screen goes to: @dannyramirez as Falcon! Give this man better lines.

It would've been very good if it pushed 20% further: harder dialogue that played into the imposter syndrome, bigger emotional tugs that hit, and a more severe/tighter villain motivation. Worth watching!

#CaptainAmerica: Brave New World is good and in the top 2 of best Cap films in the series (2nd only to Civil War, which is unfair given that's one of the top 2 #Marvel films of all time next to Infinity War, IMO!). Yes; it's better than Winter Soldier (I said what I said!).

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day AND Captain America: Brave New World release day. Two things can be true at once!

Anora is likely to win Best Picture at @theacademyusa.bsky.social Oscars after sweeping the DGA, PGA, and Critics Choice for Best Picture.

HOWEVER, Wicked can pull off its rightful win if SAG and the actors--the largest branch by far--come through.

Ty for coming to my TED Talk.

I hope you’re able to let go of the things that don’t serve you and are wise enough to realize this isn’t selfish; it’s natural. You are not who you were so why would you allow every part of yesterday to creep into today?

And shedding them isn’t losing them—you’re always marked by the things that were with you; it’s making space for what’s to come.

Happy Lunar New Year! The year of the wood snake, to me, is most of all a year of shedding. It took a long time to learn that the person, the people around you, and the things you’ve done may not be the ones you need in your next phase of life.
