What's Good Wednesdays

Watch: “Sirens,” a new limited series from Netflix. Think “White Lotus” meets “Dynasty,” and all the thrilling, campy, lavish images that conjures. It stars Julianne Moore as Michaela Kell, the socialite wife of a billionaire (Kevin Bacon!). Milly Alcock plays her ambitious young assistant, dogged by a dark past and a suddenly present sister (Meghann Fahy). Throw the whole bunch into an ocean-side mansion, add a falcon named Barnaby plus copious references to Moby Dick, and you’ve got a summer sizzler. – Tony
Watch: The Champions League final, this Saturday. Tottenham Hotspur’s triumph over Manchester United in last week’s Europa League final left one GZERO Media reporter delighted, but the quality of the football wasn’t the best in the climax of Europe’s second-tier competition. The final of Europe’s top competition – which pits Qatari-backed Paris Saint-Germain against American-owned Inter Milan – will be rather better. PSG’s band of fleet-footed wingers are a treasure to behold, while Inter’s never-say-die attitude has made for astonishing comebacks – just look at their semi-final against Barcelona. It’s a culture clash in both ownership and styles, and it’ll be a joy to watch. -- Zac

Did the AI boom counteract the economic fallout of Trump's tariffs? And how long can that last?
Last week, Microsoft shared a five‑point set of commitments to guide its Community‑First approach to building AI and cloud infrastructure in Canada. As the company moves from investment to implementation, these commitments reflect what communities across the country say matters most: affordable and reliable energy systems, sustainable water use, good jobs, strong public services, and access to the skills needed to succeed in an AI‑driven economy. The Community‑First framework establishes a model for responsible infrastructure development—one that prioritizes affordability and sustainability while supporting long‑term economic opportunity. As demand for AI infrastructure accelerates, these commitments underscore a core principle: meaningful technological progress depends on growing in true partnership with the communities where this infrastructure is built.
