Got invited to see Mitch McConnell this morning. He looked pale. I asked why he invited me and he said that we had met before at my house. He said that he was there right now, told me to call. I dialed my number and sure enough I spoke with McConnell on the phone. Crazy shit

"An AI producer" they were just asking the computer how to make a movie lol.

[Variety @Variety]

EXCLUSIVE: #YoungWashington employed five AI artists along with an AI producer and crew member. About 100 shots in the film were augmented with AI, such as establishing shots and the firing of physical cannons the crew rented.

“My view on the use of these tools is: Do everything you can for real, everything you possibly can, and then use these tools to amplify your vision and give you a bigger canvas. What I’ve learned is these tools are best used not when they replace fundamental aspects of filmmaking, but when they amplify and when they augment them,” says director Jon Erwin.

I can get warmer pretty easily. It's is very, very hard to cool down.

Everyone on chicago twitter saying they prefer 10° over the heat is a LIAR

The best part of online dating is getting confirmation that everyone within a 10-mile radius of me enjoys slow mornings, farmers markets, and dancing in the kitchen.

Hard for a sideline report to be more poorly timed than this was

The Furious: an instant classic of the "watching people get hit in the head with a wide variety of hammers for 100 minutes" sub-genre. highly recommended.

@lisa_dreher97 Hell yes. Looks great.

[Max @maxfieldnewell]

The updated messaging has gone out.

Dwayne Johnson on AI:

“I’ve always been an advocate for embracing big change—after taking a hard look at it. We can either stick our heads in the sand and be afraid, or we can say, ‘Okay, we’re here. Let’s see. Let’s explore.’"

All I see is Waingro from Heat on John Mulaney's show.

[Todd Spence @Todd_Spence]

George Carlin's standup over footage of Splinter from the live Ninja Turtles show from the '90s 🤣 so good

[Max @maxfieldnewell]

Oh yea certainly nothing else going on in America in 2008 that might have strongly discouraged young people from making expensive life changes .

[Florian Ederer @florianederer]

Is it the phones?

A new paper uses AT&T's 2007–2011 iPhone monopoly as a natural experiment and finds that iPhone access sharply reduced births, especially among younger women.

Smartphones may explain 33–52% of the post-2007 decline in U.S. fertility.

the pope needs to have a stern talk with martin scorsese, he needs the fear of god put back into him

If I was mayor of a major US city and I left a critical football game for that city's team early and missed an incredible comeback... well I certainly wouldn't say that on the radio, personally.

Brandon Johnson notes the ingress/egress of Soldier Field must be fixed.

"Let me tell you how bad it is — Bears vs. Packers, I'm at the game, we're losing," he says. "I decide to leave to beat the traffic. Before I get out of the footprint, the Bears had come back to win."

[Jeff Weiss @Passionweiss]

Never a bad time to watch Pharoah Sanders performing "Kazuko" in an abandoned tunnel in the Marin Headlands circa 1982.

[Max @maxfieldnewell]

Or the entire Star Wars franchise.

[cold (Indianapolis 7/8-7/12)🥑 @coldhealing]

Star Wars making the central figure of their new movie a 50yo baby constitutionally incapable of growing up is a little bit on the nose as critique of their fans

Summer in Chicago is canceled.

Need a backrooms movie where a landlord discovers it and immediately tries to rent them out for $2100 a month per tenant

The Chicago skyline is so much more impressive than that lame AI generated post would have you believe!
