what's a "legacy web business"? nitter.cf/BenMullin/status/21158…
The text of the memo reads, in part:
"Team -
Today, we are making staffing reductions that affect 195 people across our offices. HR and business leaders have scheduled 1:1 meetings with those who are impacted and we are committed to a smooth transition. We are grateful to those leaving the company for their contributions.
The rapid changes in media are evident to us all, and require us to be constantly changing as well. We have significantly increased investments in a host of new projects as we continue to align the company with our biggest opportunities. The vast majority of those affected today are in our print and legacy web businesses, as we continue to evolve for a prosperous future.

Elon Musk will put up to $10 billion into Skydance to help the media giant pay down debt while also giving SpaceX satellite subsidiary Starlink a foothold in the entertainment business.
That was the eye-opening prediction offered Wednesday by John Malone, the billionaire media mogul who has earned a reputation as a sage for his ability to anticipate the future. Musk had already been reported to be a potential investor in Skydance, but Malone highlighted his corporate portfolio as well as the relationship with Skydance backer Larry Ellison, father of CEO David Ellison. deadline.com/2026/10/elon-mu…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post's lead sentence presents as fact what John Malone called his "big prediction" of a possible future SpaceX/Skydance deal; no such investment has been announced or confirmed by the companies.

A break from politics to slap down this rage bait AI slop.
Top one is AI. That was not the Hot Wheels logo in 1997. The logo as shown debuted in 2012.
Bottom one looks like a McDonalds giveaway. They don't have the level of detail of main line Hot Wheels (they're free)
