New article from The Free Press

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human

“Not everyone is happy about this gorgeous innovation,” writes Tyler Cowen.

Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI.

It’s a sweet, earnest, queer love letter to kaiju and tokusatsu media that's also entirely its own thing. It also features an authentically written autistic lead character in Tobi! If there is any justice in the world, it’ll become a new kids’ classic.

If she does this, the gap between her policy and Farage's will narrow considerably. Retrospective legislation is the choice of tinpot dictators and intellectual vegetables. It means no-one could take Britain's word seriously.

The Home Secretary is understood to be considering applying the policy to deal with concerns about the so-called ‘Boriswave'.

Supporting Reform’s ‘racist policy’ does not make voters racist, says Rachel Reeves – UK politics live

Chancellor backs Keir Starmer’s statement that policy to end indefinite leave to remain is racist, but says many Reform supporters would be ‘horrified’ by it Q: You are saying you don’t call supporters of Reform racist. But it looks as if you don’t understand people’s concerns. Reeves says the government should call out policies that are wrong. Continue reading...

SURPRISE! At the Barbican Centre this weekend, we were privileged to receive messages from Godzilla series legends Katsuhiko Sasaki and Megumi Odaka. An absolute joy to surprise audiences with these before screenings of GODZILLA VS. MEGALON and GODZILLA VS. BIOLLANTE ❤️

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package.

Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage?

Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

Best for Britain @bestforbritain.org · 18d

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

Robert Redford wasn’t just a great actor. He used his profile to help others. From environmentalism, Native American rights, LGBTQ advocacy, and independent film, he cared deeply about people, and preserving their culture and world.
