Wall Street is currently feeling the pressure as Bloomberg reports that 'AI fear' is gripping investors, signaling a new, more cautious stock market reality centered around major players like Anthropic. While the markets are tense, the 'second screen' experience is thriving on X, with Smackdown, RuPaul’s Drag Race, and On Patrol: Live dominating the global conversation through viral clips and live-tweeting marathons. We also unpack the sudden resurgence of Jim Carrey in the digital zeitgeist, as fans celebrate his iconic career and dissect his latest viral moments.
