Though it was a disastrous night for common sense, too.Then Covid caught us with our pants down — despite 2011’s Contagion conveniently giving us a very good idea of what a global pandemic out of China might look like.There have been predictions aplenty that we should be in a recession right now. We’re not.So, while it’s understandable for one to wonder what the year may have in store, any prediction comes with a grain of salt.

“They Also Served: 200 People Who Trained At Sandhurst,” mentions 200 names of soldiers who served at Sandhurst — which Harry did — the exiled royal ultimately did not make the cut.Former British Army Commander Richard Kemp has spoken out about the apparent snub, saying he understands why Harry’s name was left out of the list.“I completely understand why he has not been included,” he told The Sun. “I probably would have included him on balance, but it is not a disappointment to not see him in there.”Kemp told the outlet that “recent disharmony” between the two camps likely played a part in keeping Harry’s name out of the book.“I don’t think he did anything particularly notable during his service but he was certainly a significant person to go to Sandhurst,” Kemp added.The father of two famously spoke of his time in the army in his protocol-shattering memoir, “Spare,” in which he called his victims “chess pieces taken off a board, bad guys eliminated before they kill the good guys.”Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams believes Harry shouldn’t be surprised over the snub, citing his comments that he “boasted” over the killings.“Behavior such as listing the number of individuals you personally killed makes it pretty clear why he’s not in it,” Fitzwilliams told Geo News.

SoundCloud is reportedly going up for sale, and is predicted to fetch upwards of £1billion.News that the owners of the company – which is one of the world’s largest music streaming services – are preparing to sell comes via a new report from Sky News.According to the update, Raine Group and Temasek Holdings, the Singaporean state investment fund, have begun interviewing investment banks, related to a prospective auction of the brand.As of today (January 8), more than 40million artists are active on the platform, and a total of 320million songs have been released on the service since it launched over 15 years ago. First emerging back in 2007, the service has acted as a home for many artists – allowing them to publish their work online and direct listeners to their respective pages.The reports of the company going to auction follows a string of redundancies made in recent years.Back in August 2022, it was announced that SoundCloud would be making cuts to its workforce, and laying off approximately 20 per cent of its workforce globally.The reasons were attributed to changes in the economic and financial landscape, and followed another mass lay-off of staff seen in 2017, when a near-40 per cent cut was made.“During this difficult time, we are focused on providing the support and resources to those transitioning while reinforcing our commitment to executing our mission to lead what’s next in music,” the company wrote in a statement in 2022.As highlighted in today’s report, when Raine and Temasek invested in 2017, the business was reportedly on the brink of collapse.

2024 has a ton of anticipated movies on its release calendar, but none have the same mystique as Francis Ford Coppola‘s “Megalopolis.” The long-gestating, self-financed titan of a film went into production in November 2022, wrapped shooting in March 2023, and …well, since then, FFC has been editing, tinkering, etc. After Coppola stated last May that the film wouldn’t reach audiences in 2023, many wondered if the director had hit a couple of snares in post-production.
