Since no one else has said it, I want to recommend "Dark." It's German, so subtitled unless you watch it dubbed, but oh shit what a lengthy ride

I've read it's really hard to get them to flower and go to seed indoors. Godspeed!

This video on how much of the debt these companies hold is hidden from their balance sheets is chilling. According to this, Meta "officially" owes $151B, but in reality has debt obligations closer to $572B.

That's over 40% of Meta's entire market capitalization, and they're rapidly adding to that debt. Meta's existing properties are losing users, and there's just no fucking way they'll be able to pay back this debt in the long term, because they have zero hope of deriving income from all this data center investment. At some point, BlackRock and the other private equity firms Meta owes money to are going to come looking for blood

It’s easy to dismiss these efforts as hilariously misguided but they’re not. They’re extremely calculated and he only needs it to pay off once to make everything worth it

Fortunately there seems to be a limit as far as what people are willing to tolerate. While I agree these moves are extremely calculated, they're being calculated by people who are almost completely disconnected from reality and whose egos cloud their judgment at every turn
