Wendy's "SpongeBob SquarePants" collab features a new burger and a pineapple-flavored Frosty. When I ordered the meal, The Krabby Patty came with tasty toppings and a tangy signature sauce. Wendy's teamed up with Paramount, which owns Nickelodeon, and "SpongeBob SquarePants" to celebrate the cartoon series' 25th anniversary with a limited-time-only meal collaboration, which launched on October 8. "The Wendy's Krabby Patty is just a standard Wendy's burger with different sauce." This is what I thought of Wendy's new Krabby Patty meal.

☆ Netflix is rolling in cash. What a turnaround!
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-17 | by ( Peter Kafka | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Netflix makes money. Netflix is actually bringing in so much money that it is turning a profit, while its competitors struggle to break even. And Netflix financed all that cash incineration by taking on many billions of dollars in debt. In 2019, Netflix had negative cash flow of $3.3 billion. That doesn't mean Netflix is going to go hog-wild on spending now that its thesis has been borne out.

New York CNN —Fox News anchor Bret Baier is all too keenly aware that Fox’s viewers want him to affirm what they already feel. And his recent social media activity shows that he is supremely aware of the Fox base’s extreme disdain for Harris and distrust of the media. Baier, the anchor of Fox’s 6 p.m. “Special Report” newscast, is also the network’s chief political anchor. But because the Arizona call presaged Trump’s defeat, Fox was scolded and second-guessed by many of its own viewers, including the sitting president. One X user told Baier they believed that the interview will “be pre recorded and the answers will be edited.

The creator and marketing company Triller is finally trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker ILLR. The company went public via a reverse merger with a Hong Kong-based company called AGBA. A reverse merger occurs when a private company goes public by acquiring a publicly listed company. That didn't come to fruition, and in December 2021, the company announced plans to complete a reverse merger with a company called Seachange International. Creators, brands, and consumers are the main cohorts that AGBA touts as central to Triller's business in its recent filings.

While Su has previously spoken with Boeing and the striking West Coast factory workers’ union, it is her first time in Seattle meeting both sides in person. Roughly 33,000 workers have been on strike since Sept. 13, seeking a 40% wage increase over four years. Boeing will next month send out 60-day notices to thousands of workers including many in its commercial aviation division, meaning those staff will leave the company in mid-January, one source familiar with the matter said. A Boeing spokesperson said the company had shared information with managers including plans for 10% reductions at its commercial unit involving both union and non-union workers. “Boeing just turned its back on 17,000 of its own workers — the same people who carried Boeing through crisis after crisis, year after year,” he said in a statement.
