AdvertisementBuckle is part of a group of creators that has turned to slower, longer types of content that don't live on social platforms. Turning to long-form content — in writing, but also through podcasts, community platforms like Patreon, and YouTube videos — has been a way for creators to counter this. AdvertisementFor some creators, long-form content is also a way to slow down their relationship with their audiences and build stronger connections.

☆ Wall Street's dream scenario is dead
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-07 | by ( Matthew Fox | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +8 min

Wall Street's vision of a Goldilocks scenario for the stock market and economy is unraveling. AdvertisementAdvertisementWall Street's dream of a Goldilocks scenario for the stock market and economy is probably dead. Interest rates soared. As painful as inflation and higher interest rates were, the economy remained resilient as consumers held onto their jobs and kept swiping their credit cards. It has to acknowledge that interest rates are now sufficiently restrictive, and decide that it's next monetary policy move isn't an interest rate hike, but rather a pause, and then a cut.

☆ Billionaire investor Jeff Gundlach warns of a recession as markets roil: 'Buckle up'
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-04 | by ( George Glover | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

"If the unemployment rate ticks up just a couple of tenths it will be recession alert," Gundlach wrote on X. AdvertisementAdvertisementBond-market turmoil could be a sign that a recession is on the way, Jeff Gundlach has warned. "The US Treasury yield curve is de-inverting very rapidly," Gundlach wrote in a post on X. That "should put everyone on recession warning, not just recession watch," he added. That's led to the gap in returns offered by 2- and 10-year Treasurys narrowing to just 33 basis points, for the tightest yield curve since late March.

☆ There's a signal flashing in the bond market that says a recession is coming soon
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-04 | by ( Jennifer Sor | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

There's a worrying signal in the bond market that suggests a recession could soon arrive. Investors have typically pointed to the spread between the two-year and 10-year Treasury yields as an indicator of a coming recession. The two-year yield surpassing that of the 10-year bond has been a signal that's preceded every economic slump since 1955. Meanwhile, 10-year Treasury Inflation-Protected Security yields, which are adjusted for inflation, are currently hovering around 2.5%, Misra said. "The US Treasury yield curve is de-inverting very rapidly," Gundlach said in post on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday.

☆ How Hollywood writers’ landmark deal with studios could set a precedent in the battle against A.I.
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-28 | by ( Oliver Darcy | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

After nearly 150 days on strike, the screenwriters secured a number of groundbreaking wins in their new contract with the major film and television studios. The terms, shared by the guild, prevent the studios from using A.I. to write or rewrite material, from forcing writers to use A.I. Until now, there had not yet been a major labor dispute that hinged so heavily on the growing threat to livelihood brought by A.I. And the pioneering deal the WGA struck with the studios will help — at least in the short term — serve as a template.

Alan Joyce, Chief Executive Officer of Qantas, speaks in front of a Qantas 747 jumbo jet, before its last departure from the Sydney Airport in Sydney, Australia, as Qantas retires its remaining Boeing 747 planes early due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, July 22, 2020. In July Canberra rejected Qatar Airways’ request to add 21 flights a week to key Australian cities. Gina Cass-Gottlieb, the watchdog’s chair, is targeting a fine of at least A$250 million ($162 million), she told ABC’s RN radio programme. Qantas customers can now get a cash refund, while credits issued by the group’s budget airline, Jetstar, now last indefinitely. On Aug. 24 Qantas reported record pre-tax earnings for the year to June 30 of A$2.47 billion.

Oil inventories are falling as high interest rates make the price of storage costly, top analyst Amrita Sen wrote.
