TNW 294: The Revolving Roundabout of Social Media - Microsoft Activision, Classic Video Games, Nothing Phone

The Microsoft Activision merger has taken another step forward in finally happening. However, the FTC has filed an appeal after losing its battle in court. Iain Thomson of The Register talks about everything happening with the case thus far. So many new social media services have popped up since Elon Musk acquired Twitter last year: Threads, Bluesky, T2, etc. Amanda Silberling of TechCrunch spills the tea on the potpourri of social media options available today. Jason talks about many retro games of years past that are out of print and how preserving their history is as crucial as preserving traditional art & the history of the world. Finally, Jason reviews the Nothing Phone 2 he has been using for the past few weeks.
