This is very well done but I’ll add that he was one of the few actors in history who never lied on camera
There was a complete authenticity to his performances that is unparalleled
He simply is
An achievement that is Herculean on a set
Tender Mercies is ❤️
Robert Duvall, All-Purpose Actor With Few Peers, Dies at 95
The seven-time Oscar nominee, a winner for 'Tender Mercies,' also was memorable in 'The Godfather,' 'Apocalypse Now,' 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and 'Lonesome Dove.'

Very sad news, Robert Duvall has passed away. My only connection to him is in 2022, he read a script I had worked on and liked it.

RIP Mr Duvall 🍸🍸🍸

How A 1990s Sci-Fi Television Show Predicted The Era of Trump And MAGA

(I always loved Babylon 5. As the show progresses you see it is partially about the rise of Fascism, as well as other things. It’s top tier Sci-Fi)

I just told @chriscarrfilm.bsky.social that they’ll probably just rebrand the status quo with some additional “Arctic security framework” and he’ll declare a revolutionary victory for the idiots glued to Fox—which he could’ve done from the start without all this insanity.
Rutte: "What we have in mind is a treaty, covering the whole North Atlantic, that would create an organization to provide for the defense of the members ... "

Trump: *nods sagely*
“Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region.”

Tear gas grenades are often up to 800 deg C (not F) and well beyond the ability of gloves to protect you. It’s unethical to tell people to pick them up and much of the time a glove makes injuries worse. Smoke grenades are nearly as hot much of the time

“Russia is automating the spread of false information to fool artificial intelligence chatbots on key topics, offering a playbook to other bad actors on how to game AI to push content meant to inflame, influence and obfuscate instead of inform.”

www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
Russia seeds chatbots with lies. Any bad actor could game AI the same way.
In their race to push out new versions with more capability, AI companies leave users vulnerable to “LLM grooming” efforts that promote bogus information.
