Jaafar doing this as his first acting role with no prior screen credits is either the bravest thing or the most inadvisable thing in recent Hollywood history and apparently it worked out to be the former.

Jaafar doing this as his first acting role with no prior screen credits is either the bravest thing or the most inadvisable thing in recent Hollywood history and apparently it worked out to be the former.
Kim is clearly building toward the reveal of what that obsession does to both of them. The structural mirroring the article describes in Hwang's panel composition is already telegraphing something about how similar these two might turn out to be.
Unpopular opinion but the story itself is pretty formulaic and the art is doing heavy lifting that the writing sometimes does not deserve.
In a manhwa landscape dominated by dungeon crawling, regression narratives, and power fantasies, The Greatest Estate Developer stands out by asking a simple question: what if the protagonist's greatest weapon wasn't a sword or magic system, but civil engineering knowledge? This bizarre premise transforms into one of the most entertaining, genuinely funny, and surprisingly heartfelt series currently running, proving that innovation in storytelling comes from unexpected places. The series takes the familiar isekai setup where a modern person finds themselves in a fantasy world and completely subverts expectations. Instead of becoming an adventurer or hero, protagonist Kim Suho uses his engineering knowledge to revolutionize construction, infrastructure, and economic development. What sounds like it should be boring becomes absolutely captivating through sharp writing, excellent comedic timing, and genuine passion for showing how infrastructure improves lives.
The fact that it has over 180 chapters of completed content already and the web novel is fully finished means an adaptation team would have everything they need. No rushing, no anime original endings.
Walking in on a friend reading this series at the chapter where a certain minor character from the merchant arc dies and trying to explain manhwa to someone who has never read it before is an experience.
The professional tool aesthetic point is real. There is a whole category of AI coding tools clearly designed to demo on stage that are painful to use for eight hours a day.
Used this for a product launch training rollout across 15 countries last quarter. The localization time savings alone paid for two years of the subscription. That is not marketing copy, that is just the math.
Figma has been trying to close this design to code gap with its own Dev Mode for years. v0 basically lapped them by approaching the problem from the code side rather than the design side. Sometimes the better angle is not the obvious one.
Developers have a new anxiety in 2026: token anxiety. You're in the middle of debugging a complex problem, the AI is helping you refactor three files simultaneously, and suddenly you wonder if this session is about to cost you $50. That mental tax slows you down and makes you second-guess using the tool you're paying for. Windsurf eliminated that anxiety with a simple decision: flat monthly pricing with no token limits. Fifteen dollars per month. Unlimited usage. No tracking credits or calculating costs per query. That pricing model sounds almost boring compared to the complex token systems other AI coding tools use, but boring is exactly what professional developers want when it comes to pricing. They want predictable costs and unlimited usage so they can focus on writing code instead of budgeting AI queries.
When a company's revenue jumps from $10 million to $100 million in nine months, you pay attention. When that growth comes from an AI agent that builds entire applications autonomously, you realize something fundamental just changed in software development. Replit Agent represents that change, and the numbers prove developers are ready for it. Replit started as a browser-based coding environment for education. Students could write Python or JavaScript without installing anything locally. Teachers loved it because setup time vanished. But the company saw something bigger. If you could run code in the browser, why not let AI write that code? That question led to Agent 3, an AI that doesn't just suggest code completions. It builds entire applications from scratch.
The Mythos cybersecurity findings are what really got me. A model autonomously finding and exploiting a 17-year-old vulnerability in FreeBSD with no human involved is not a demo, that is a preview of something genuinely new and a little terrifying.
Eight of the Fortune 10 are Anthropic customers. I keep rereading that because it doesn't fully compute. A company that was essentially pre-revenue in 2024 is now embedded in the largest corporations on earth.
To the point above, 900 million users who are each generating about 25 dollars in average revenue per year versus Anthropic's enterprise contracts averaging 1 million plus per customer annually. Scale of users does not equal scale of sustainable revenue.
In a rare divergence from industry norms, TikTok has confirmed it will not adopt end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for direct messages, breaking with nearly every major social media platform and reigniting one of the tech industry's most contentious debates. The Chinese-owned video platform told the BBC exclusively that it believes the privacy technology championed by Meta, Apple, and others as essential for user protection actually makes users less safe by creating "dark spaces" where harmful content can flourish beyond the reach of safety teams and law enforcement. The decision puts TikTok in direct opposition to its competitors while potentially exposing the company to fresh criticism over data protection, particularly given ongoing concerns about its ties to Beijing.
As someone who studies fashion history, Piccioli is one of the few designers working today with a genuine mastery of couture technique. His 25 years at Valentino were not just a career, they were a masterclass. Seeing him apply that to Balenciaga's very different DNA is genuinely exciting from a craft perspective.
When you hear “Paris Fashion Week,” your mind races to haute couture, bold statements, and the world’s most glamorous attendees. But on October 4, 2025, the scene got a surprise guest—Meghan Markle, making what might be her most talked-about entrance yet. To call it a “debut” feels almost too neat, as if she’s stepping into a world she’s never touched. Yet, Meghan’s gradual evolution as a style influencer has been anything but accidental. Her Paris moment isn’t just celebrity spectacle; it’s a statement, a pivot, and a nuanced step into a new chapter. Here’s my take on why this matters.
The shoes are stunning but I'd probably go with simple nude pumps to let the dress be the star
I've got a similar dress but never thought to style it with sneakers. Definitely trying this tomorrow!
