Soderbergh's new picture, The Christophers, is just A+ in every respect. Ian McKellen and Michaela Cole are both just so masterful. James Corden and Jessica Gunning are extremely satisfying as the old artist's grifting children. The whole movie is a warm bath of cranky wonderfulness. #filmsky

Norway! As an Arsenal supporter I'm against Man City so Haaland is a notorious figure. But I'm half-Norwegian, and Odegaard is hero in my house, so of course I'm supporting... Haaland is a beast. Whipped one in off a header and then megged a defender for a gorgeous low right corner. Brutal.

Huh. Interesting points, now do America.

Nyt editorial excerpt reads:
“We lay out these facts with no pleasure. Iran has been and remains a force for ill. It represses its own people, especially political dissidents, women, L.G.B.T.Q. people and religious minorities. It is a world leader in torture and executions, and it has financed terrorism in its region and far beyond. Iran's leaders have impoverished a country where per capita income was above the global average as recently as the 1970s.”

I was shooting a commercial in Nairobi and we wanted a scene with monkeys, so we went to City Park. We bought some bags of peanuts to lure the monkeys from vendors who sell them for that purpose. A monkey leaped in the air and ripped a bag out of my hands. Kind of intense and grim, tbh.

So, I’m inferring that George Will didn’t need a college degree. Other than his PhD from Princeton, or his master’s from Oxford, not to mention his bachelor’s from Trinity. But he surely sent his kids to trade schools…. What’s that?

WaPo editorial by notable egalitarian George F. Will:

Too many college students
The "everyone must go to college" mindset has been a disservice to millions of young people.

Here's Sollazzo in the Luca Brasi assassination scene. The visual cues are basically the same. (Shot by Gordon Willis, you know the director)

Al Lettieri as Virgil "the Turk" Sollazzo. While the overall lighting in the scene is fairly soft, there a hard overhead light pushing a shadow across the brim of his hat, so his eyes are in darkness giving him a meancing look.

Seems legit. It definitely makes sense that NY DMV would outsource their enforcement efforts to the Republic of Congo.

text from a +242 number that reads in part:
New York Department of Motor
Vehicles (DMV) Final Compliance
Reminder: After verification by the system, you have an unpaid traffic ticket. If you fail to complete the payment before July 15, 2025, the ticket will be officially filed as a traffic violation record by the system, and the following consequences will occur:
1. Your current vehicle registration status will be suspended, making it impossible to conduct annual inspections, transfer ownership...

Yes, it's *definitely* jitters about a candidate who would like to raise the top marginal rate in NYC ($1M+) by [checks notes] 2%, that's softening the lux housing market in NYC and not *anything* else. The last few pieces from each reporter of that article...

CNN Economics writer Elisabeth Buchwald's last few:
- Timeline: What to know about Trump’s global tariff rollout
- Trump threatens a 35% tariff on Canadian goods, and he may double what most other nations are charged
- Trump just ramped up his tariff threats: Here’s what could get more expensive
(nothing like market uncertainty from a recklessly impulsive trade policy to jumpstart big financial decisions)

CNN Business writer Samantha Delouya's last few:
- The White House just took its most aggressive stance yet against Jerome Powell
- Do you have regrets about buying a home? CNN wants to hear from you
- The company behind your credit score is plunging on the stock market after a White House announcement

Yep, definitely the prospect of a NYC focused lowering costs that's killing the national housing market

Super productive time at the #TribecaFilmFestival Storytelling Summit last week. So many great panels, some cool films, and, more importantly, I met a bunch of smart people. Plus I got to hang out with @shanadarabie.bsky.social and finally meet @akoukouliborn.bsky.social in person. #filmsky

Empower governors to go out and respond to emergency situations, you say? Is that only for situations where you didn’t directly cause the emergency?

"It will empower governors to go out and respond to emergency situations," Noem said, standing beside Trump.
The move would "make sure that the taxpayers are only fulfilling the need to which is appropriate, and that people are responsible to respond to their own people closest to home," Noem added.

But what if the US sweetens the pot by [checks notes] dismantling our food inspection apparatus, so the beef will include both hormones and probably bacteria/disease?

Allowing US hormone-treated beef into the UK has long been a demand from Washington, which successive British governments of all stripes have rejected. Reducing agricultural standards is a particular red line for Labour, because it would kill hopes of a veterinary agreement with the European
Union. Reeves flatly rejected the idea that food or other product standards would be up for grabs. "We're not going to be relaxing our food standards. We are clear
with the US about that, and they respect that and understand that," she said.
