This is how Ludwig Göransson made the iconic The Mandalorian (2019) theme: a single improvised note on a bass recorder. Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni heard it and instantly said, “This is the sound.”

Three Oscars. Black Panther. Oppenheimer. Sinners. The Odyssey is next.

@LITizenJeff @NinthOctopus @WilliamShatner Soooooo... a Nice Container of Cereal is $17.01? Or, in shorthand, one could say NCC-1701?

I have nothing to add.

Jensen Huang currently owns 812,450,469 shares of Nvidia $NVDA stock

Nvidia just announced it's increasing its quarterly dividend up to $0.25 per share from $0.01 per share

That means Jensen is about to get $203.1 Million in dividends every quarter from his Nvidia shares up from the $8.1M he got last quarter

For nearly four decades, NATO’s eyes in the sky have been American. The Boeing E-3 Sentry, a militarized 707 with a rotating radar dish on top, has been the alliance’s airborne early warning backbone since the 1980s. Washington built it. Washington sold it. Washington serviced it.
That era ended this week.

NATO’s Support and Procurement Agency has selected the Swedish Saab GlobalEye to replace all 14 of the alliance’s aging E-3 aircraft, in a deal worth around 5 billion euros. The contract goes to Sweden and Canada. Not a single American company involved.

The decision follows the US cancelling its own E-7 Wedgetail procurement in June 2025, shifting instead toward satellite surveillance under the Golden Dome concept. When Washington pulled out, it assumed NATO would wait. NATO didn’t wait.

The GlobalEye uses a fixed AESA radar rather than the E-3’s rotating dish, enabling faster target detection across air, sea, and land at ranges exceeding 550 kilometres, with endurance of over 13 hours per sortie. It is smaller, cheaper to operate, and requires fewer crew. Unit cost sits at roughly 550 million euros, against significantly higher estimates for the E-7.
France had already ordered two. Poland and Germany were circling. Now NATO has formalised it for the whole alliance.

Trump spent 14 months telling Europe to spend more on defence and rely less on America. Europe listened. He just didn’t expect them to mean it quite so literally.

I hate the 4% rule.

Especially for Canadians.

For the uninitiated, it says you can withdraw 4% of your portfolio at retirement, and adjusted for inflation, you won’t run out of money.

It’s an interesting concept.

Here are 7 reasons you should ignore it.

25 years ago, Space Shuttle Endeavour (STS-100) launched with Canadarm2. 📦🦾

At 17 metres long, this robotic legend was built to assemble the @Space_Station piece by piece. Today, we celebrate a quarter-century of Canadian innovation in space!

Benny Hill passed this date 4/18/1992.... his show started in 1955 in the UK , reached more than 21 million viewers, was imported to over 100 countries - and reminds us that sometimes the silliest of humor can be the best...
Were you a fan?

A few thoughts with oil down 11% on the SoH being "opened" (until April 22nd):
🛢️voyage time for tankers out is ~25 days to Asia and 25 days back = ~ 2 months of continued production loss = ~600MM Bbls = still heading to lowest inventory levels in history
🛢️IEA yesterday saying will take ~ 2 years to fully normalize production
🛢️80 facilities have been damaged, 1/3 "severely or very severely" which will take quarters/years to fix
🛢️political risk premium of $10+/bbl likely and the floor price for oil is now higher given inventory reset
🛢️SPR restocking will = ~0.3MM Bbl/d of new demand for the next 4 years
🛢️oil equities were on average discounting $70WTI. Won't matter at the open but will again soon.

Imagine all the money he can "save" by not having to buy plane tickets now 🤬

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

NEW: Premier Doug Ford's taxpayer-funded private jet is already being called the "gravy plane" by the Ontario Liberals who question whether the need is justified.

Here's a look at what the luxe plane looks like

Agree. Why did Trump threaten Denmark and Canada?

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

Trump is so idiotic it is beyond description even for the guy who wrote PET SEMATARY and MISERY.
I can’t even.

[Peter Hague @peterrhague]

Having scientists debate Moon landing deniers is a waste of time - if they were receptive to scientific facts, they wouldn't be deniers. Sending comedians is a better solution:

"Well, to start with of course, we'll have to build a massive rocket..."

[Reuben Rodriguez @ReubenR80027912]

Truly incredible stuff here. This is such an egregious error for the A section of the NYT (not a typo, genuinely not knowing what NATO stands for) that it should lead every piece on the decline in journalism

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

If you get a dollar bill with Trump’s name on it, black it out with a Sharpie. He prefers his name heavily redacted.

A heartbreaking scene last night as the body of 30-year-old Air Canada pilot Antoine Forest returned to Montreal.

Ftr, i'm not a flight safety investigator, but I do have experience as a former R.C.A.F technician on flightlines.
Here's what we know.
1. The aircraft was cleared to land well before the approach.
2. Landing aircraft have priority above all else.
3. All vehicles on the flight..
