I just watched Good Morning America @GMA and they talked about the Fires in France, the 3 dead from a Shooting in Seattle, the Attack in Berlin and, a missing woman in Grenada. This ain't "Good" anything! Maybe @ABC should change the shows name?

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

The most important hour you'll watch this week.👇

I love learning about historical incidents that effect our world today. @BradSmi please cover Shays's Rebellion & the power dynamics we don't learn in school. It's a vital story of how the wealthy rigged post-war policies, leading to brutal farm seizures & debtor prisons.

Microsoft is just one beneficiary of 250 years of American history and the choices made by past generations. As an American company, we believe we have a responsibility to understand where we have been, learn from it, and help make real for others the opportunities created for us. 

As America enters its 251st year, we face another inflection point shaped by rapid technological change. That is why we created this series. Throughout July, we will reflect on moments in American history with six video episodes when people faced uncertainty and made choices that set in motion consequences they could not fully see. Some decisions advanced the country. Others revealed how much work remained. Together, they remind us that history is not inevitable; it is made by people, in moments, through choices.

Our goal is not simply to celebrate that history, but to learn and connect the past to the questions we face today. Because one of the best ways to honor 250 years of American history is to think seriously about what we will do next.

Stay tuned for episode 2 next week. https://t.co/8KAJ2Rfmsm

How does the 🇺🇸 play 🇮🇷 in the World Cup?
​They're on opposite sides of the bracket. Both would have to win four straight knockout games and meet in the Semis.
​But don't bother tracking it.
They signed an MOU not to play. @FIFAWorldCup

Pixar tried to make Wall-E for 14 years. They couldn't crack it. So they called the man who gave R2-D2 his voice in Star Wars, plus the cinematographer behind No Country for Old Men. Neither had ever worked on an animated movie.

The whole thing started over lunch in 1994. Andrew Stanton (who later directed Finding Nemo) was sitting with John Lasseter (Toy Story), Pete Docter (Up), and another Pixar writer. They were brainstorming new movies. Stanton asked one question: what if humans left Earth and someone forgot to turn off the last robot.

That same lunch sparked A Bug's Life, Monsters Inc., and Finding Nemo. But Wall-E got stuck. Stanton and Docter hit a wall on the script and shelved it for eight years.

Stanton came back to it in 2003. The first version was a totally different movie: humans on a spaceship leading a rebellion against jelly-like green aliens, who turn out to be deformed humans at the end. He scrapped that draft because he wanted the audience to see themselves in the future humans.

Production started in 2005. Stanton called Roger Deakins, a cinematographer whose films include No Country for Old Men, Blade Runner 2049, and 1917. No major animated film had ever used a live-action cinematographer before.

Deakins spent two weeks at Pixar teaching 40 animators how a movie camera moves and lights a scene. They added lens flares and focus mistakes on purpose, so Wall-E would look photographed instead of drawn.

Then Stanton called Ben Burtt. Burtt designed the most famous sounds in Star Wars: R2-D2's voice, Darth Vader's breathing, the lightsaber hum. Stanton was already calling Wall-E his "R2-D2 movie."

Burtt built Wall-E's voice using a custom computer program called Kyma that warped his own voice into robot sounds. For everything else, he grabbed a microphone and went into the world. The cockroach footsteps are handcuffs, which Burtt borrowed from a police officer specifically for the recording. The wind across a dead Earth is recordings of Niagara Falls. And M-O's cleaning hum is Burtt's electric shaver.

The 98-minute movie has barely any dialogue between the two main robots. Wall-E and Eve don't say a single word to each other until about 22 minutes in. To learn how to make people feel something without words, the animators studied old silent comedies by Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton.

On a $180M budget, Wall-E grossed $521M worldwide (almost triple its cost). It also became the first animated film ever to win Best Picture from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, beating The Dark Knight. Six Oscar nominations. The Academy still refused to nominate it for Best Picture.
