US movie theatre chain partners with Sony to offer 'Spider-Man' NFTs for advance ticket buyers

It looks like NFTs are turning into the new collectible cards. US movie theatre chain AMC partners with Sony Pictures to give away 86,000 NFTs to Stubs Premiere, A-List, and Investor Connect members who buy or reserve tickets for Spider-Man: No Way Home screenings on December 16. 

To qualify, buyers need to purchase their tickets through the AMC Theatres' website or mobile app when pre-orders launch on November 29. They will receive their code on December 22 and have until March 1, 2022, to redeem one of the 100 designs through the more eco-friendly Wax blockchain. It isn't guaranteed that this promo will improve ticket sales, but it might be something we'll see more often.

This is what the Nothing earbuds look like in black

When Nothing launched the ear (1) buds, it only came in white, but there have been rumblings about a black version coming out in the future. The rumours picked up when Casey Neistat, an investor in the company, coloured his buds with a Sharpie and asked Nothing to release this version. Nothing responded by asking its Twitter community if they should launch this option. 

A black variant has been spotted in a Nothing video released in July. And now new renders have been spotted on Reddit, showing us what the buds could look like. Is that something you'd want to get your hands on?

Twitter might be ready to release Reactions, Downvotes, Sorted Replies

Twitter might not be done releasing new features for its users. Reverse engineer Nima Owji claims we might see the Reactions feature launch on the app soon. According to Owji, it's being referenced in Twitter's code, with four reactions, including "tears of joy," "thinking face," "crying face," and "clapping hands." Similar to reactions on Facebook, the Twitter reactions are designed to give users "a better understanding of how their Tweets are received." 

The app can also store data about the downvotes feature, which could mean the function is coming out soon. It's positioned before the like button. And it looks like there's also a new Sort Replies feature, which lets you decide whether you want to see all replies or just the relevant ones.
