Jesus

Yesterday, the folks at Cambridge Dictionary named “Hallucination” the word of the year and, Jesus, they really hit the nail on the head. Like, wow. Frankly, this could be the word of the decade, not merely just the last twelve months. By that I mean, the world has gotten so weird lately that I feel like I’ve been hallucinating for years—and the visions just keep getting trippier.Why is Everyone Suing AI Companies? | Future TechOf course, the Cambridge Dictionary had a pretty good reason to make “hallucinate” its chosen…

Performing on stage is kind of a release for me.” He smiles. “It sounds a bit heavy, doesn’t it?”Nicholas is about to release the audio version of the memoir he wrote during lockdown,…

Late April to May 2023 saw an explosive rise of meme coins, led by PEPE coin, which rocketed to a staggering $1.6 billion market cap.

This corny but slickly made southern California-set drama looks plausibly like a million other period-set Bildungsromans made by the Hollywood entertainment sausage factory. It’s a story of a confused young teenager finding his calling in life with the help of a nice girl and some wise mentors, unfolding at the beginning of the 1970s, and it has all the hippy-era trimmings: love beads, barefoot extras, vintage cars with old-school California black and orange licence plates, and many needle drops from bands like Fleetwood…

To hear some tell it, you’d be hard pressed to find a millennial or Gen Z-er that wants to go anywhere near a church. But while religiosity may be waning in the U.S., the truth is that a majority of Americans are still connected to one faith or another.…

via Universal Enough has been written about Martin Scorsese‘s criticisms of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that there’s no point going over them again, but the short version is that the legendary filmmaker doesn’t care for the comic book juggernaut churning out identikit blockbusters that sacrifice the magic of cinema in favor of being more like a “theme park” than a movie. With that in mind, there’s more than a little hint of irony to Scorsese being granted an audience with the Pope over the weekend, only to…
