A president possibly involved in a conspiracy in which the elite were ferried to a remote hideaway by private plane while a tsunami threatens to sink coastlines around the world -- the campaigners for Paradise working just a little too hard this Emmys season

Mind and Iron: So which jobs are safe from AI and which are toast? Our guide to self-protection. Also, an iPhone for AI is on its way

How AI-proof is your job?

If you have the kind that involves a lot of interpersonal relationships and interactions, you're fine.

If it involves a lot of thinking in front of a screen, you might want to start recalibrating.

RIP Phil Robertson, the only interview subject of my career who made a bunch of assumptions about my life, tried to convince me to live a different life, then at the end slapped my next subject on the back and said "good luck with this one" on his way out

Trump May Hurt Hollywood With Remake of Copyright Office The removal of veteran lawyer Shira Perlmutter could destroy the entertainment industry's leverage with AI companies.

In addition to being an unfair jolt, the Shira Perlmutter firing could radically alter the balance of power between media companies and tech firms

Jimmy Kimmel Roasts His Employer and Boosts β€˜60 Minutes’ at Disney Upfront The late-night host also took his usual potshots at rival networks and streamers.

Jimmy Kimmel killing it at the upfronts on the death of legacy media:

"At least CBS and Fox are making shows. ABC, we ordered one show, and it’s a spinoff. Which begs the question: What are we doing here? We risked our lives flying into Newark for this?"

Movies don’t go through ports. How would tariffs work here? President Donald Trump is proposing 100% tariffs on foreign-made films. But where does a tariff begin for a movie? Unlike a shoe or a phone, a movie starts and ends in a variety of locations, from scr...

In my mind Trump knew exactly where Never Say Never comes from and was using an anthem from the pop patron saint of Canada against it

I have thoughts like this too -- like today is as close to 1985 as 1985 was to the end of WW2

DC Studios’ Luca Guadagnino Movie β€˜Sgt. Rock’ Not Moving Forward Colin Farrell was to play the DC soldier in a feature that had Guadagnino on board to direct.

Devastated by the passing of Bleecker Street founder Andrew Karpen at 59. Very few did so much for so many great indie films, literally spreading joy and understanding. And NO ONE did it with as much warmth, humor and menschiness.
RIP my friend. We can only try to carry on your legacy

At WHCD Weekend, Glam With a (Small) Dash of Dystopia Many of the Capital's parties went on per the crowded usual, with just a slightly uneasy undercurrent

Was this D.C. media jamboree of a weekend a necessary release for a besieged army or just a lot of Nero fiddling? Yes

Whole lot of press accounts of Ryan Coogler's career leaving out Fruitvale Station. It's only one of the most gripping and human film dramas of the last 20 years, and socially important to boot.

25th Hour: Why Cory Booker’s Speech Was the Screen Performance of the Year The New Jersey senator'sΒ epic floor session drew many cues from Hollywood, and may teach it a few things too.

If you're just focusing on the record, you're missing everything else Cory Booker did with his speech, which operated on so many subtle levels of political and cultural performance it can be almost mind-boggling to unpack
