Legendary actress Eva Marie Saint has died. She was 102. Saint was perhaps best known as the seductive secret agent in Alfred Hitchcock's 1959 thriller "North by Northwest." Before that, she won an Academy Award for best supporting actress for "On the Waterfront."

This is so on 🎯. AI (as it’s being used by the majority of people) is taking away the development of their minds. It’s become their substitute synthetic mind, while their own mind atrophies. It’s an addictive electronic drug of the highest potency.

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

Guys, don’t sleep on this movie! If you’re someone who loves original movies instead of just sequel number 72, please go see this! It’s very heartwarming, beautifully animated, funny, and the people that worked it are genuinely really great people. It’s so important to support good animation now.
