“But AI is creeping into television more and more – and it could come at a major cost to the industry. Though the WGA and Sag-Aftra made a lot of noise about AI’s job-stealing potential in last year’s Hollywood strikes, a recent report by CVL Economics says it’s still likely that 203,800 American entertainment jobs will be “disrupted” by AI by 2026. This makes the technology a frightening agent of change for television, and the entertainment industry at large.”
“The highest camp on the world’s tallest mountain is littered with garbage that is going to take years to clean up, according to a Sherpa who led a team that worked to clear trash and dig up dead bodies frozen for years near Mount Everest’s peak.”

“Just a reminder: we are talking about Bridgerton fans. People watching a show full of sparkly dresses, dance cards and Coldplay on violin. What on earth is it about the show that evokes so much rage, particularly towards the actors of colour?”
“Except you, Harrison Butker. We don’t need you.”

RIP, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, sex expert, radio and TV host, author, cultural icon, all around mensch. I learned yesterday that she was in attendance at my high school graduation, as she was friends with the family of one of my classmates. I got that via the feed of another classmate who interned on her WYNY radio show in the 80s.
RIP, Richard Simmons, fitness guru, television personality, also a cultural icon.
RIP, Shannen Doherty, actor best known for Beverly Hills 90210 and Charmed.
To be honest all the Butker backlash is getting tiresome. Don’t get me wrong; I do not share his views on what all women should want. Call me an old school feminist- individual choice about career/family balance is my mantra. That said, I do recognize that there are plenty of people who feel the same way that Butker does, and a place like Benedictine College is going to have a high percentage of them. He was preaching to his choir, so I can’t gin up outrage over that. However, I do think it’s fair to point out that most families don’t have a single breadwinner pulling in NFL $, and this whole 1950s concept of middle class family life is an exception rather than the norm throughout human history. I would also advise those young ladies who want to go the SAHM route that marrying a guy who is not a jerk, a bully, and a control freak is even more important to your long term financial security than his salary. Choose wisely. Get a prenup.
Very sad to hear about Dr. Ruth. She was quite a character in the best possible way, and she helped a lot of people.
