    James Cameron can sleep easy tonight.

    Last year the director claimed that Avatar: The Way of Water was so expensive that it needed to make at least $2 billion to break even. Thankfully, after spending six weeks at the top of the box office charts, the movie has done just that.

    Only six movies have ever passed the $2 billion threshold (without adjusting for inflation), and Cameron has directed half of them.

    Is Trump planning his Twitter return?

    According to Rolling Stone’s sources, the former US president isn’t looking to renew an exclusivity agreement with his own social media platform Truth Social, which requires him to post on the site six hours before any other platform.

    NBC also reported last week that Trump may return to Twitter following his previously-banned account being restored and is already workshopping ideas for his first tweet.

    Google’s easter egg for The Last of Us is both creepy and creeping.

    We won’t spoil the surprise, but searching “The Last of Us (TV series)” on both mobile and desktop will reveal a pretty neat nod to the Cordyceps fungus featured in the series and video games (seen via 9 to 5 Google).

    A Massachusetts school hasn’t been able to turn its lights off for over a year.

    When software controlling the decade-old “green lighting system” at Minnechaug Regional High failed in August 2021, the lights permanently stuck in their default “on” position, and the school couldn’t track down the original installer’s new owners to fix it.

    Now, the issue should finally be resolved over the February break after upgrades, including a new server, control boards, and, yes, a remote override switch.
