@RGIII The second I saw the pitch, I said, "You're out." So it looked and felt like a strike. Without the box, which is irrelevant as long as the ump is still behind the plate, no one would have questioned it.

Dear baseball fans, this is a Safe Space. The USA and Dominican Republic just had one of the best baseball games of all time. Was this a ball or strike?

@mattgetty @AMCTheatres Matt: Take my money. AMC: We don't want it.

@AMCTheatres Posting this here because no one at AMC will respond. So you're threatening to cancel my "A-List" membership because you don't staff your theaters to allow me to comply with your rules. I guess, I'm sorry for trying to be a loyal customer. Shame on me.

@StockMKTNewz Can't wait for the news release to tank the stock

Nvidia $NVDA plans to unveil a new processor specially tailored designed for inference to help OpenAI and other customers build faster, more efficient tools - WSJ

@StockSavvyShay @fiscal_ai "it was already priced in," people with no other clue say. That nonsense is getting old.

Trying to wrap my head around $NVDA being down ~5% today after what I thought was a homerun quarter and guide. The only real nit I see is RPO posting its first QoQ decline in three years. Mechanically, that likely reflects demand converting straight into revenue rather than sitting in backlog but I wonder if the market is misreading it as a bookings slowdown. It’d be great to see RPO accelerate alongside revenue but at ~25x earnings for a business growing revenue ~68% next year with ~63% EPS growth and ~65% operating margins, the selloff feels disconnected from fundamentals.

@DeItaone If only Nvidia stock would listen to all these price hikes! 😆

$NVDA - CANTOR REITERATES OVERWEIGHT ON NVIDIA, SEES STRONG BEAT AHEAD Cantor Fitzgerald reaffirmed an Overweight rating and $400 price target on NVIDIA (NVDA). Analyst C.J. Muse expects a strong beat-and-raise for the upcoming quarter, with CY26/27 EPS tracking $9/$12+ versus consensus $7.75/$9.53. Muse highlights surging compute demand, a Blackwell-driven rack-scale supercycle, and expanding AI adoption as tailwinds, noting NVDA is sold out for CY26 with backlog building through CY28. Despite concerns over hyperscale CapEx and competition, the firm sees NVIDIA shares poised for a major inflection, with fair value at $300–$400.

@suzyq218 @WSJ It works, but it's just not a miracle drug.

@textcrash @WSJ You have to take a higher dose until you get to where it works for you.

@DeItaone Maybe third time is a charm. Nvidia has already reported twice over the last 6 months and it hasn't budged the stock at all.

$NVDA - KEYBANC: NVIDIA STRONG ON B300/GB300 AND CHINA KeyBanc’s John Vinh reaffirmed an Overweight rating on NVIDIA with a $275 price target. He expects strong results driven by rising B300/GB300 shipments and H200 sales to China, projecting F4Q revenue of $69B and F1Q guidance of $74–$75B. Supply constraints and GDDR memory shortages may limit Gaming growth, but overall outlook remains positive.

@howie_schlong @Variety If you look at the actual post, it's not about the United States. It's about Gaza and the film festival. It's a cause, not a funding issue.

@Variety here come the "whatabout IRAN 😱" people as if americans were being forced to subsidize a 75 year old slaughter there as they do in gaza

@Variety Still waiting for a big letter from Hollywood asking for investigation and prosecution for people on the Epstein list. Seems to be the one cause they don't care about. Wonder why.

@FiresideYankees Can't let a guy with that ERA go to another team 😃

Osvaldo Bido was claimed off of waivers by the Yankees, who produced a 5.87 ERA last season as a starter and reliever. The corresponding move is DFA'ing infielder Brendan Shewmake.

@ATRightMovies I remember the first time I noticed that, and I was like what the hell am I seeing? And I backed it up. It's one of the coolest things I can think of to set the tone of a scene.

One of Martin Scorsese's greatest shots in GOODFELLAS. Watch as De Niro and Liotta don't move in the frame but the background seems to get closer. It was a dolly zoom done to symbolise the walls closing in on Henry.

@rohanpaul_ai The only people who are saying it's a bubble are people who don't know much.

@mvcinvesting It's too early in the AI game for the spending to slow down in a meaningful way. Not sure why people still don't get that.

Jim Cramer reiterates his Sell stance on $NBIS: “One of the Mag 7 companies will say it’s slowing down its build-out, and $NBIS will get cut in half.” Bullish.

@fasc1nate Reminds me of a U2 ticket I have from around 1987 on the Joshua Tree tour. Carrier Dome in Syracuse. $17.

@konstructivizm Kids have been talking about this since I was a kid in the '80s. "Fold a dollar in half fifty times and it would be thick enough to reach the moon!"

Imagine starting with an ordinary sheet of paper, about 0.1 mm thick—thinner than a human hair.Fold it once: now 0.2 mm. Fold twice: 0.4 mm. Nothing dramatic yet.But here's where reality starts to bend: every single fold doubles the thickness. It's pure exponential growth in action—2ⁿ, where n is the number of folds.After 7–8 folds (the practical limit for a real sheet), you're at roughly a centimeter or so—still tiny.After 10 folds: about 10 cm thick. After 20 folds: over 100 meters—taller than a football field is long. After 30 folds: roughly 100 kilometers—higher than the edge of space.And then… After 42 folds: the stack reaches an astonishing ~440,000 kilometers thick.That's farther than the average Earth–Moon distance of ~384,000 km.One more fold (43) and you'd overshoot the Moon and have enough left over to get most of the way back.Nothing magical happens at fold 42. No special physics kicks in. The paper doesn't suddenly become exotic matter. It's the same humble doubling each time. Yet that relentless 2× multiplier turns something microscopic into a cosmic bridge in fewer than 50 steps.This mind-bending leap is exactly why exponential processes rule so much of the universe:A tiny neutron triggers a nuclear chain reaction → city-leveling explosion in microseconds. A seed of inflation in the early universe → everything we see ballooning by insane factors in a fraction of a second. Black holes accreting matter → runaway growth that can outshine entire galaxies almost overnight. Even stellar fusion ramps up dramatically once critical thresholds are crossed. Our brains evolved to handle linear change—walking speed, apple counts, daily sunrises. Exponential growth feels slow… until it suddenly isn't. Then it becomes unstoppable.The paper-folding thought experiment is one of the cleanest ways to feel that vertigo: 42 ordinary folds, and you're on the Moon. No warp drive required—just math doing what math does best.(And yes, sources like NASA distance figures, physics textbooks, and calculations in journals such as the Astrophysical Journal all confirm the setup. The real magic is in the numbers themselves.)

@archeohistories I was an English major but took some art classes, and this is one of the paintings that really stuck all these years later. Amazing.

This 600-year-old painting is one of the most mysterious in history. That mirror at the back is just 3 inches wide, yet it reflects the entire room in immense detail. Look closer at it and you'll realize nothing is as it seems. The painting you're looking at is The Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eyck, completed in 1434. It’s considered one of the most enigmatic masterpieces of the Northern Renaissance, packed with symbolism and technical brilliance. At first glance, it's a portrait of a wealthy merchant, Giovanni Arnolfini, and his wife, possibly capturing a marriage ceremony or a legal contract. But then your eyes land on the small convex mirror at the back of the room. Just three inches across, this mirror reflects the entire scene with astonishing precision, even including two additional figures who appear to be entering the room, likely the painter himself and a witness. Around the mirror are ten tiny medallions depicting scenes from the Passion of Christ, adding a religious layer to the domestic scene. Van Eyck even signed the painting just above the mirror with the words “Johannes de Eyck fuit hic” — “Jan van Eyck was here.” It’s not just art; it’s a visual puzzle nearly six centuries old. #archaeohistories

@CinemaTweets1 I've tried to watch Heat a few times recently, and it feels really dated and doesn't hold up.

From the moment Tom Cruise’s stoic face fills the screen in the opening shots of Collateral (🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟), it’s nearly impossible to move an inch for the next 120 minutes. It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen this film, each time I sit down to watch Michael Mann do his thing, I’m left totally stunned. This isn’t Mann’s best film. That distinction is reserved for Heat- one of the greatest films of the 20th century. But for any other director, Collateral would rank as the single best work of their life. An all-time LA film. An all-time Cruise performance. An all-time 21st century noir. Movies like this don’t just come along. Collateral is the story of two diametrically opposed men whose paths cross on one fateful night in Los Angeles. Jamie Foxx is Max, a cab driver with dreams of something greater in life. Tom Cruise is Vincent, a pay-for-hire killer. How these men cross paths is simple: Cruise is in LA for a night & needs a cabbie to drive him from “job to job”. This leads us down a 2 hour path of completely unpredictable stops, wildly entertaining dialogue between Max & Vincent, and an ending that I find totally redeemable. Much has been made over the fact that Michael Mann pioneered the use of HD digital cameras, particularly in the use of this film- which allowed Mann to capture nighttime shots throughout LA. I don’t know precisely what or how Mann did it, but Los Angeles has never looked this sharp at night. It’s never looked this crisp. As someone who lives here, I can tell you definitively that when the sun falls & night creeps up, this city completely changes. And Mann does such a masterful job of capturing what it’s like in this city in the late hours. It’s a different world. The way Mann captures over-head shots of Foxx’s cab or places the camera right behind Foxx’s shoulder, it’s all tactile filmmaking that contributes to the film’s immersion. Simply put, no one shoots LA like Mann. It’s his turf. Something that really caught my attention this time around is noticing how deep this cast runs. Cruise & Foxx couldn’t be better & I’ll get to them more in a moment, but when the second level of your cast is filled with Oscar-caliber actors like Javier Bardem & Mark Ruffalo, it’s just unfair. Every last actor in this movie adds something to the film. On a -1 to 0 to 1 scale, every actor in this film is a 1. And that includes Cruise & Foxx. Foxx earned a Best Supporting Oscar nomination for this film, which put him in rarefied air: he earned two Oscar nominations in one year & won Best Actor for Ray. To this day, it’s still one of the most impressive things I’ve seen when it comes to award’s season. Earning two nominations in one year is insane itself. But to win for Ray & have the other performance be this? It’s legendary. The power in Foxx’s performance as Max is that he transforms throughout the movie from powerless to embowered. We meet a version of Max that’s sort of a total shlub- he dreams of a limo service & he eats subway sandwiches in his lap while driving entitled lawyers around LA. But by the end of the film, he stands for something. He fights for something. Foxx steps into that evolution as well as any actor can- and it’s why he earned that Oscar nomination. But then there’s Cruise. I’ve spent this review talking about Mann, the cast, Foxx, but the biggest star of this film is Tom Cruise. I will absolutely listen to those who suggest that this is the best performance of Cruise’s storied career. I’m not the first person to say it, but I really, really wish Cruise played the heavy more often. He’s so fucking explosive. His intensity radiates off the screen. Like so many great actors, Cruise’s power is in his eyes. Yes, the walk & the physicality is all there. But Cruise’s eyes are darting- piercing- they’re weapons of their own. The white hair & the tailored suit - not to mention unforgettable dialogue that Cruise is strapped with- are all iconic at this point. I wish Cruise worked with directors like Michael Mann more. There’s still time, there’s still hope- and I know Cruise is doing that with Digger this year. But at day’s end, Cruise in this film is some of the best acting I’ve ever seen. Masterpiece.

@Variety To me "one battle after another" didn't work on any level, so the awards are baffling

#GoldenGlobes Snub: Ryan Coogler loses to Paul Thomas Anderson in screenplay race. It’s been widely believed that Coogler would take script honors for “Sinners” and Anderson would grab the directing Globe for “One Battle After Another,” but that wasn’t the case. variety.com/2026/awards/fe…
