WhatsApp? If you’re an admin of any WhatsApp group – and you may not have known it – starting Saturday, WhatsApp will be rolling out artificial intelligence (AI) that will have access to all conversations. So all group admins should turn on “Enhanced Privacy.”

25 years.🥺 most years i read tom junod's falling man out of respect/grief for the victims. my memories of the day are mixed with sadness/anger for what our govt did after, parts which i know too well. this is well known but worth remembering, i think

The media regulator has said that rather than an aged-based blanket social media ban, there should be a ban on online services that are unsafe for children.

Here’s a playlist that LJ in Cool Machine would listen to. Half (not all) is what you’d hear at Shoot the Hostages, the club in the book. It’s art-noise, post-punk, proto hip-hop clubby stuff & mostly an excuse to spread the gospel of “The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight.” open.spotify.com/playlist/56P...

Caught a late Frankenheimer Cold War picture over the weekend, The Fourth War. Scheider, Prochnow, overall fairly missable so can see why it's a bit forgotten. But HD Stanton has one scene in it where he really cooks, almost redeemed the whole thing for me. HBD zen cowboy.

Pole position for show of the year for me is Widow's Bay, every part of it is top shelf - performers, pace, photography. Looking forward to the parting glass landing of it all immensely.

There are many things I like about David MacKenzie’s Relay. And those are surely the performances, the plot mechanics and the photography-I reckon it will bear up well over time. But my hat tip is for the excellent music picks: A John Cale cover that slaps, The Nerves & that tune at the end.

Also gave it a respin recently and can agree. Debicki gangster's moll role cribbed entirely in Tenet when she's definitely stronger in better material like Widows. But did enjoy Colman, Akhtar and Hodge plenty more on this go around.

this is a terrific list because one, it defines 'all time' as "the history of cinema" and not "the last ten years, twenty if you're lucky" and two it's not afraid to combine universally lauded gimmes with obscure international movies 📽️

There's a REALLY quick and easy survey for the public consultation on the Basic Income for the Arts scheme - it only takes a few seconds, anyone can fill it in, and it could make a huge difference to arts workers in Ireland. Take a few ticks to places a few ticks here: ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...

Screenshot of the first two questions in the survey - there's only six to answer.
