Google’s Bold Move: Letting Strangers Gamble on Your Future 🤯

The move is part of a broader rollout of features aimed at making Google Finance more interactive, AI-powered, and globally accessible. For now, the prediction market data will answer natural language queries like “Will the U.S. enter a recession in 2025?” or “Who will win the 2024 U.S. presidential election?” Users will see real-time market odds, along with charts showing how probabilities have shifted-because nothing’s more reliable than a bunch of strangers on the internet. 📈

‘Sentimental Value’ flirts with Hollywood satire, but settles for arthouse sniffles

“Sentimental Value” gently explores themes of family, movies, and property, all centered around a beautiful house in Oslo that’s been home to the Borg family for four generations. The house is idyllic, with red window frames and a rose garden, but sisters Nora and Agnes aren’t eager to hold onto it. This might be because of painful memories of their parents’ divorce, or because they want to avoid confronting their distant father, Gustav (played wonderfully by Stellan Skarsgård), who grew up in the house, still owns it, and now lives in Sweden.
