  • How 'The Idea of You' movie compares to the book

I am, of course, referring to the endlessly discussed romance between Harry Styles and Don't Worry Darling director Olivia Wilde. However, the source material, the Robinne Lee novel of the same name, dates back to 2017 — years before Spitgate, Miss Flo, and salad dressing Instagram Stories.

Still, Team Threads was working diligently to add many of the features a disgruntled Twitter user could desire — a web version, a reverse-chronological timeline — while Musk seemed to be doing his best to tank his own service.

  • Stephen King loves 'Baby Reindeer' so much he's written an essay about it
    Mashable, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 03:20 AM

    Stephen King often recommends shows he likes on X (formerly Twitter), but it's not often he writes a whole essay about them. That's exactly what the horror master has done for Baby Reindeer, Richard Gadd's limited Netflix series based on his own experience of being stalked. SEE ALSO: 'Baby Reindeer' has seen a wave of armchair detectives.
