Notre-Dame isn’t just a landmark for the people of Paris. It’s an important historical site for people all around the world. 

On Monday, a devastating fire severely damaged the medieval cathedral. While French President Emmanuel Macron pledged to rebuild it, people around the world came together to contribute to its reconstruction.

Paris’ City Hall as well as luxury goods conglomerate LVMH has already promised 50 million euros ($56 million) and 200 million euros ($226 million) respectively.

Apple’s Tim Cook also pledged to contribute on Twitter.

There are currently over a dozen GoFundMe campaigns dedicated to rebuilding the medieval cathedral.

Fondation du Patrimoine, a French nonprofit, has also set up a donation page and encouraged fans of the cathedral to contribute on Twitter.

The US-based French Heritage Society has also set up a Notre-Dame restoration fund.

“The hearts of all of us at French Heritage Society go out to the city of Paris and all of France in the wake of the terrible fire at the Notre-Dame Cathedral,” the Society wrote.

Emmanuel Macron has said that the cathedral will get rebuilt. And in these early days, it’s clear that both individuals who care about history, and the government, are ready to pitch in to make Macron’s words a reality.

The summer movie season is upon us, flooding our theaters with intriguing new releases. So here we are to help you navigate that storm, with a look ahead at some of the most exciting titles to come. 

Is there anything quite as enjoyable as slipping into a cool dark theater on a hot summer day, to spend two hours sitting still while attractive famous people run around exploding things? 

Well, maybe. But we’ll be damned if we know what it is. As far as we’re concerned, heat waves and action flicks are a match made in heaven, not least because ever-expanding blockbuster run times mean more time luxuriating in movie theater air conditioning.

So here’s what to watch if you feel the need for speed …

… and you love dogs: John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (May 17)

SEE ALSO: Dogs finally get their revenge in ‘John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum’

Now, hear us out: Yes, a dog was brutally murdered in the first John Wick, thus setting off a wild chain reaction of vengeance, underworld favors, and extremely cool shots of Keanu Reeves beating people up. But in Parabellum, the pups finally get to play — they’re out there killing bad guys right alongside their human friends. It’s about time.

… and you’ve got monster mania: Godzilla: King of the Monsters (May 31)

What could possibly be cooler than an enormous prehistoric monster? How about four enormous prehistoric monsters? King of the Monsters not only brings back Godzilla, it introduces a trio of new (well, new to this iteration of the franchise) creatures: the ferocious Rodan, the actually-kind-of-adorable Mothra, and the three-headed Ghidorah. Also, Eleven from Stranger Things is there for some reason.

… you’re an X-Men fan: Dark Phoenix (June 7)

SEE ALSO: ‘Dark Phoenix’ will probably be the end of Fox’s X-Men movies

Say what you will about the unevenness of the X-Men franchise — we sure have. But it’s one that’s been with us since the very beginning of this current superhero movie boom, and one that’s given us some of the very best films of the genre. Now, with Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox, it’s poised to end for good — making this summer’s Dark Phoenix the end of an era. 

… and Thor: Ragnarok is your favorite Marvel flick: Men in Black International (June 14)

Men in Black International may not be a Marvel movie per se, but it’s shamelessly stolen one of the best ideas any Marvel movie has ever had: pairing up Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth for some intergalactic hijinks. We are here for whatever these crazy kids decide to do together, and especially when they’re being guided by an especially badass Emma Thompson.

… and so do your kids: Dora and the Lost City of Gold (July 31)

Dora the Explorer grows up, but not too much, in Dora and the Lost City of Gold. Our intrepid heroine is sent to navigate the unruly wilds of high school, before getting thrown right back into the jungle for a real life-or-death adventure. This one’s definitely pitched at kids, but if the trailer is any indication, grown-ups will probably find it pretty endearing, too. 

… the more ridiculous, the better: Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (August 2)

SEE ALSO: New ‘Hobbs & Shaw’ footage debuts to thunderous cheers at CinemaCon

The Fast & Furious movies have never met a law of physics they couldn’t defy with gleeful extravagance and serious style. The first spinoff, Hobbs & Shaw, looks like no exception. Expect cars exploding out of buildings, helicopters chained Dwayne Johnson’s muscles, a superhuman supervillain played by Idris Elba, and a bromance for the ages. 

Welcome to our 2019 summer movie preview. Come back to learn what to watch if… 

Monday: … you’re looking to laugh  

Tuesday: … you feel the need for speed  

Wednesday: … you’re with the family  

Thursday: … you want to feel something

Friday: … you just want the best

Facebook is in trouble. But it’s not a singular problem or even a set of problems the social networking giant has recently faced — it’s been an overwhelming mountain of issues, some of them slowly burning for years, seemingly ready to join forces into one cataclysmic dumpster fire. 

This is the picture of Facebook painted by a new, 12,000 word report by Wired, published Tuesday. The report’s authors, Wired’s editor in chief Nicholas Thompson and editor at large Fred Vogelstein, spoke to “65 current and former employees” to create a scathing deep dive into everything that was wrong on Facebook in the past 15 months, and the company’s apparent inability to properly fix most of it.

The report did not uncover any major new scandal. We’ve heard about these stories over the past years — the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the squabbles with Instagram founders, the ill-conceived Facebook Research project in which the company paid teens to install an app that granted Facebook detailed insight into their phone and internet usage. 

In short, the fact that not everything’s hunky dory at Facebook has been publicly known for some time (even though the company appears to be healthy financially, and user-base-wise). 

But a troubling undercurrent in Wired’s extremely detailed report — read the whole thing if you can find the time, it’s well worth it — is one of discord and dissent within the company.  For every bad decision Facebook made, like the one to front-run the news reports about the Cambridge Analytica scandal with their own story, the report lists (mostly unnamed) officials who were either out of the loop or deeply dissatisfied with the way things have been handled. 

One example: After COO Sheryl Sandberg and CEO Mark Zuckerberg decided to stay largely silent in the immediate aftermath of the Cambridge Analytica story, some PR people at Facebook were dumbfounded. “We had hundreds of reporters flooding our inboxes, and we had nothing to tell them,” a member of the communications staff at the time told Wired.

In the case of Instagram, and WhatsApp, both social services which Facebook had acquired for outrageous sums, the aftermath was worse: WhatsApp co-founders Brian Acton and Jan Koum, as well as Instagram co-founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger left the company on uneasy (if not downright hostile) terms. The report sheds additional light to the way they were treated within Facebook’s complicated system of hierarchies, and highlights just how hard it is for outsiders to fit in. In one example, the report claims that “WhatsApp employees had special bathroom stalls designed with doors that went down to the floor, unlike the standard ones used by the rest of Facebook.”

Another important theme in the report is that Facebook’s inability to deal with its issues may be stemming from the very concepts that propelled Facebook’s immense growth. Facebook is an important source of news, but when fake news had become a real problem, the company found that getting rid of it is much tougher than it seemed. When Facebook adjusted its algorithms to show users more posts created by their friends and family, news outlets suffered, and backlash ensued. When Facebook executive Alex Stamos tried to counter The Guardian’s Cambridge Analytica report on Twitter, no one trusted him — partly, the report claims, because Facebook’s “algorithms helped sustain a news ecosystem that prioritizes outrage.”

It’s not all bad. Some of Facebook’s important efforts over the past couple of years — to integrate WhatsApp and Instagram with the main app more closely, combat fake news and make News Feed more about friends and family — worked quite well, the report asserts. Profits are up again, and the company’s stock price has been recovering quite well since December 2018. 

But important questions about the future of Facebook remain. “The idea of Facebook is to bring people together, but the business model only works by slicing and dicing users into small groups for the sake of ad targeting. Is it possible to have those two things work simultaneously?” the authors of the report ask. 

Mashable has reached out to Facebook for comment on the report and will update the article when we hear from them.
