In early October 2026 I posted a series of X threads that covered a grab‑bag of topics—from comedy podcast networks to AI‑driven corporate controversies, historic film inspirations, and a deadly police shootout in Lima.
- Bill Burr’s podcast network has grown to >50 shows and ~5 million monthly listeners. ^br1fs9
- OpenAI hides that chain on purpose, treating reasoning traces as trade secrets. ^br1fs9
- Eduardo Saverin gets diluted from 34% of Facebook to 0.03% in The Social Network's most brutal scene. ^br1fs9
- The movie itself cost $3.5 million, shot in 17 days, 80% of it on the 42nd floor of One Penn Plaza. ^br1fs9
Other notable threads mentioned Vivaldi’s program music, the Freckle kids‑phone flat‑fee model, the glass‑writing technique used in A Beautiful Mind, and a police shootout on Lima’s Vía Expresa that left 2 gunmen dead and homicide numbers at 2 226 in 2025 (+7 % YoY).
