John Carpenter is back for six episodes of new TV horror series Suburban Screams which he made at home:

It was filmed in Prague, and I sat on my couch and directed it. It was awesome.

Mashable's Tim Marcin makes a strong case for a MySpace revival:

Regular people are posting less while still checking their feeds. Influencers post a ton, but they're basically just brands. Normal folks want to log in, check things, and log off. We're already doing that with sites not designed for that. That was pretty much MySpace's entire purpose.

Former US Secretary of Labor Robert Reich says tech monopolies are building a new Gilded Age:

This is not simply Hollywood. This is not just a bunch of writers and actors against some studios. This is the entire American economy and the direction we are going in. This is gigantic high-tech firms that are monopolizing like mad, including the entertainment industry, including streaming videos and games and media platforms. They are mining consumer data and getting even larger.
