Luke Hemsworth in S2 of the Amazon Prime drama Deadloch, with a lot of hair gel and an outdoorsman type of look -- green short sleeve shirt and logo of a croc hunting company

Detectives Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami, left) and Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) are in Australia’s sweltering Top End, aka the Northern Territory, investigating the death of Eddie’s former policing partner, Bushy, in Season 2 of Deadloch. But when the body of a local icon is discovered in a remote town, they are flung into a sweatier, stickier, croc-ier crime case. (Most of this is from the Amazon Prime press release on S2)

🚨Deadloch heads: S2 of the Aussie crime satire/drama (it's good!) arrives on Amazon Prime March 20. Many chaotic Aussie weirdos return/debut. But HEADS UP they have added a Hemsworth (Luke)! This is not a drill! Kudos to the hair & costume team for this whole deal. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Thank you for bringing that back into my life.

People Pardoned by Trump Want Banks to Forgive Their Past, Too It’s one thing to be cleared by the president. It’s another to be cleared by the bank.

It’s one thing to be pardoned by President Trump. It’s another to be cleared by your bank.

Anthropic’s AI Principles Make It a White House Target On Tuesday, White House AI “czar” and venture capitalist David Sacks intensified a frustration that has been building for months. “Anthropic is running a sophisticated regulatory capture strategy base...

@anthropic.com co-founder Jack Clark on pushing back on White House: "It’s very bizarre to me that others are not doing the same thing. That says something larger about where we are in the country’s history more than anything else.”

I feel like "it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission" was tossed around a little too much around the OpenAI offices recently.

AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

Electricity now costs 267% more (!!) for 1 month vs. what it cost 5 years ago near data center hotspots. Awesome reporting from Josh Saul @dinabass.bsky.social Leonardo Nicoletti @naurtorious.bsky.social Demetrios Pogkas (gift link) www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

"Slavery was in America's first White House," Michael Coard told me for this @usatoday.com story. "If you want to call (Washington) a great general, do that. If you want to call him a great President, do that. No one would object to that.

"But this is history."

Offshore Wind Opponents Target Work of Brown University Researcher The group asked for the retraction of work led by Timmons Roberts and said it is preparing to escalate the matter to the Trump administration.

The quoted opinion is wildly wrong BUT it is true that the cinematic grammar/storytelling/tech of older films is so different from today's that current audiences have to work to get into them - much like older work in pretty much every other creative medium
