Enjoying international cuisines makes people more tolerant, UK study finds Frequent and varied eating found to reduce likelihood of perceiving immigrants as ‘cultural or economic threats’ Whether it is the kedgeree of the British Raj, the Victorian “penny lick” ice-creams of Manchester’s Little Italy, or the battered fish brought to the UK by Sephardic Jews, international influences on the country’s food are longstanding, diverse and many. Now, research has revealed that eating international food does not merely spice up the diet – but makes people more tolerant. Continue reading...

It is fucking wild that Apple pulled 'The Savant.' I've watched all of it and there couldn't be a more relevant TV series right now.

A PR asked me to share “large pockets of time” that I am available tomorrow and it was one of the wildest things anyone has ever said to me. I don’t even have one small pocket of time.

UK recognises Palestine as an independent state

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Is Bowen wearing a tank top?

Not to interrupt production at the takes factory but they should probably identify and catch the actual killer before we decide what it all means.

This thread is a good antidote to the news

Robin Wright and Olivia Cooke 'go feral' in 'The Girlfriend.' But who's the real villain? The co-stars discuss their new Prime Video psychological thriller series based on Michelle Frances' book, why it felt cathartic to channel anger and the open-ended finale.

Spoiler alert: I spoke to Robin Wright and Olivia Cooke about the ending of their unhinged new show 'The Girlfriend' for @latimes.com

Why would you want a phone this thin?

Text from New York magazine column headlined "Do Media Organizations Even Want Cultural Criticism?": The consensus of the people I spoke to was that stand-alone reviews just don’t generate traffic, and reviews of more niche art forms, like an independent film or a string-quartet performance, are even harder sells. There are exceptions: the latest Sally Rooney novel, a highly anticipated Hollywood blockbuster, an especially beloved critic going to town on someone. But the vast majority of reviews go virtually unread.

I can't be the only person who recently worked for a media organization (or still does) who knows the sentiment expressed below isn't true. nymag.com/intelligence...

I would follow Emerald Fennell off a cliff, so obviously I'm on board for whatever this Wuthering Heights movie is.

You would be surprised though

Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch are a match made in heaven — or, in 'The Roses,' hell They've known each other for years, but having the opportunity to spar in a savage new take on 'The War of the Roses' was too good for the longtime friends to pass up.

I could make a career out of interviewing Olivia Colman. I spoke to her and Benedict Cumberbatch about their new movie, 'The Roses,' for @latimes.com.

I heard the term workcation for the first time and can we not?

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

RIP Terence Stamp who was in my favorite movie Bowfinger

This is correct

If you're reacting to this thread with "Why isn't my opinion as valuable as any so-called critic's?" you are -- how shall I put this? -- the problem. You see a statement that a profession you're not in has value, and your first thought is "I'm being insulted!" You're how we got here.

JAMES BOND (Tom Holland): (into smart watch) Alexa, I need your help! I can’t get into the Amazon fulfillment centre to save the Prime Minister! There’s a large group of pro-union protestors blocking the way!
MILF YOUNGLY (Lauren Sanchez): Perhaps I could be of service, Mr. Bond. I am 24 years old.

One of my outlets, Observer, is ditching most movie and TV reviews too.
