Poor Hollywood. Now that Paul Thomas Anderson has adapted Thomas Pynchon’s work not once, but twice — the upcoming One Battle After Another riffs on Pynchon’s 1990 novel, Vineland, with Leo to boot — someone’s assistant might actually have to read Gravity’s Rainbow. (That is, if they can’t get their hands on an advance copy of the author’s much shorter new novel, Shadow Ticket, out next month.) Pynchon’s daunting masterpiece, a white whale of a Great American Novel, is stuffed with pun-tastic songs, rocket science and World War II-era occultism. It’s the kind of book grad students dare each other to read under the influence of illicit substances. But Hollywood should do its homework. If Pynchon is the high priest of 20th century postmodernism, he’s also proved a prophet of America’s 21st century. Across his oeuvre, he trumpets a constant warning against America’s penchant for both shambolic rebellion and playing footsie with fascism — and Southern California is the Rosetta stone to decode it all. These days, Pynchon is a resolute New Yorker. His Upper West Side neighbors protect the famously press-averse 88-year-old author like a Praetorian guard. And his novels’ Byzantine plots span the globe. But Pynchon traversed California

Why is his photo on the former president's profile? Earlier today, I was surprised to see Donald Trump's photo on Barack Obama's LinkedIn profile, so I decided to dig into why, and apparently I wasn't the only one who noticed. For those just finding out, or for anyone who knew about it but didn't know the reason, the situation isn't the result of a hack or a prank, but rather LinkedIn's setup: Obama's "Experience" lists his presidency under the White House, whose official page currently uses Trump's photo. Because of that, the image automatically appears on his profile. For now, it's unclear whether the White House or LinkedIn will adjust the setup to avoid this kind of mix-up. Personally, I think LinkedIn's photo system could use an update to prevent situations like this. But what do you think? https://www.linkedin.com/in/barackobama/ // Gamereactor

OpenAI, the San Francisco maker of ChatGPT, revealed plans for a LinkedIn-esque jobs platform and a certification system on Thursday.

Business Insider’s Post Amazon's five-day return-to-office policy may be restoring discipline, but it's costing the company in the war for tech talent. An internal document and accounts from Amazon insiders show that the company's aggressive in-office work policy and requirement to move near designated "hub" offices are hampering recruiting efforts. The hub strategy is listed as one of the "hotly debated topics" for Amazon's recruiters, as it is limiting the ability to hire "high-demand talent, like those with GenAI skills," according to the internal document from late last year, obtained by Business Insider. Some Amazon recruiters told Business Insider that, starting last year, they saw an increase in candidates declining job offers specifically because of RTO. Those people were open to lower pay from other companies in exchange for the flexibility to work remotely.

Social media went into a frenzy after some users noticed something unusual on former President Barack Obama’s LinkedIn profile, a photo of Donald Trump showing up under his “Experience” section. Yes, you read that right. No, Obama has not become friends with Trump. The bizarre appearance is not his doing, it stems from LinkedIn’s handling of organisational profiles. Obama's LinkedIn page now has Trump on it after the WH changed its profile picture pic.twitter.com/DHxhc19fEs — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) September 3, 2025 Since Obama’s profile lists ‘President of the United States at The White House’ as part of his experience, and the official White House LinkedIn page currently features Trump’s photo as its display image, it automatically comes under the position on Obama’s page. Trump and Obama’s recent interaction Despite their political rivalry, Trump and Obama shared a brief, surprisingly friendly moment earlier this year. The two were spotted chatting at former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral, a clip that also made rounds online. Commenting on the viral moment, Trump said, “I didn’t realize how friendly it looked,” adding, “We have a little different philosophies, right? But we probably do . I don’t know. We just got along.” ‘Greatest troll
