Can't believe people are so fixated on GPT4o retiring when the Dow Jones is over 50,000

WONDER MAN is so good. It's like a love letter to actors and the absolute insanity involved in the craft.

You've just described every time we get together, sir

Say, you're not the Jake Simpson from Star Search, are you?? 🤔

From "OUT INDEFINITELY: MONONUCLEOSIS" to Super Bowl Champion. America loves an underdog. 👏👏👏

Dammit, I am going to have to re-subscribe, aren't I.

I have no surprise left to summon that Donald Trump felt no moral restraint when posting vile, juvenile and hideously racist imagery of President Obama and his wife.

I am, however, astonished that it remains up to this moment and the White House is even attempting to defend itself.

It's simple really, when it's outrage over some obvious and quickly corrected slip from a Democrat it's genuine and must be covered on a minimum of 3 front pages, when it's outrage about the President on yet another gutter racism jag, it's fake and will never make the print edition.

I'm a passing acquaintance with a very hard-working actor down here in Austin (Holt Boggs) who was in this. Seems like it was a lot of positive energy.

Some days I truly cannot believe this is real life.

I was a White House ethics lawyer.

I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.

I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college:

1) History of Rock and Related Music
2) Philosophy and Parapsychology
3) Intro to Cartography
4)Television Production I
5) Creative Writing - Poetry

Electives rule.

The rotten core of "real America." We had such a nice run where folks like this knew well enough to keep those vile thoughts to their closest confidants. Now, they brandish their bigotry like a badge of honor.

Sen Thom Tillis (R-NC) offers a vibrant description of Trump has his entourage. Essential reading for the day.

👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

You just know Schumer and Jeffries are furiously drafting legislation that will require the Trump regime to stop arresting Americans for exercising their rights to free speech

It is amazing to me that 20 years ago we had an environment where EVERYBODY was making money in the games business: developers, publishers, platforms, middleware companies, advertisers.

Then guys like Kotick decided to get busy "fixing" it.

I wonder if the ice cold reaction this is getting will discourage future A-listers' attempts to legitimize GenAI "filmmaking"

Aronofsky has skill, experience, clout and command of considerable resources. If his best effort with this tech is this...

I can't believe in the year 2026, it is too much to ask, too bold a hope to simply: do meaningful work, be fairly compensated, be able to retire on your own terms and live out your golden years in a modest retirement.

None of this should be controversial or rare in the wealthiest nation on earth.

I hate this so, so much.

I am intrigued. Could be awesome or horrific.

NO SENATE VOTE TONIGHT

Couldn’t get all senators to allow a speedy vote. Schumer tells reporters Lindsey Graham is blocking it. “That’s the holdup,” Schumer tells reporters. Graham wants to keep a provision letting him sue to pocket $500,000 over J6 phone records seized.

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
