Comcast Shocker: Cord-Cutting Slows, Wireless Soars in Q3 Earnings

Earnings Beat Expectations (Despite Olympic Comparisons) Comcast’s Q3 results trounced Street forecasts. Net income of $3.33 billion (¥8.2% YoY) translated to $0.90 GAAP EPS, or $1.12 adjusted EPS (vs. ≈$1.10 consensus) on $31.2 billion revenue thewrap.com. The revenue marked a 2.7% YoY decline, but topped analyst models (~$30.7B).

48 Hours Without AI: Why Some People Are Unplugging from Artificial Intelligence

The Backlash: Why Some Are Saying No to AI Ellen Rugaber, a 16-year-old student from Virginia, might seem like a typical high schooler – except she refuses to use AI on principle. “It’s part of growing up to learn how to do your own work,” she says, noting that many of her classmates rely on tools like ChatGPT for homework nzherald.co.nz.

Online posts pushing $2,000 “tariff dividend” checks or other direct deposits have continued into 2026, sometimes mixing in state programs such as Alaska’s Permanent Fund Dividend, the report said.
