afloat

There was a time in the 1970s when daydreams of escape from suburban Britain seemed often to drift towards intrepid sea voyages. Thor Heyerdahl’s televised rafting adventures had something to do with it, and Francis Chichester’s fabled circumnavigation; those adventures stirred a salty restlessness in a generation of men who had grown up with the war stories of fathers and grandfathers and felt the need, in midlife, for tales of their own. One such individual was Maurice Bailey, a hot-metal typesetter from Derby. Bailey,…

Almost every DC Comics movie released in the last five or six years has done so with baggage attached that can’t help but talked about. In many cases, said baggage helps inform why the film is what it is, but in other cases, it gets in the way of what makes an individual film rise or fall despite a game effort from all involved in production. Spoilers of the Week: July 29thSo it goes with Aquaman: released December 21, 2018, this was the first movie to follow the 2017 version of Justice League, and starting from that…

You’ve got to hand it to Sony for its determination to build a Marvel universe of its very own despite the evidence continuing to stack up that it’s never going to work, although at least Venom: Let There Be Carnage did give the studio’s Spider-Man Universe a stay of execution. Tom Hardy’s first outing as the symbiotic superhero raced to a massive $856 million at the global box office despite not being very good, which was unfortunately enough to embolden the culprits behind Sam Raimi’s abandoned Spider-Man 4 and the…

The answer is probably never. Not unless they work for the federal government. The struggling EV startup has been on the verge of running out of money since last year.

But despite its financial woes, the federal government is more than happy to continue to do business with the company. Today, Canoo announced it had…

It didn’t take long for the downsides of a generative AI-empowered newsroom to make themselves obvious, between CNet’s secret chatbot reviews editor last November and Buzzfeed’s subsequent mass layoffs of human staff in favor of AI-generated “content” creators. The specter of being replaced by a “good enough AI” looms large in many a journalist’s mind these days with as many as a third of the nation’s newsrooms expected to shutter by the middle of the decade. But AI doesn’t have to necessarily be an existential threat to…
