If it's true that they always come in threes, I have a few suggestions that could be real mood-changers!

Man, this day. Well, 95 and 96 are fine ages, and Wiseman's legacy is beyond secure. I sincerely hope that whoever is entrusted with his legacy of more than three dozen masterful documentaries makes them easier to stream, to own, and to share. We'll be learning from his work as long as movies exist.
A true actor's-actor career. You can watch Duvall in To Kill a Mockingbird and M*A*S*H and Open Range and Sling Blade and Network and Rambling Rose and True Confessions and The Seven Per Cent Solution, and you'll still have the seven performances for which he got Oscar nominations ahead of you.
I know a lot of people still like to draw a bright line between movies and television, but you simply cannot fully measure Duvall's greatness without taking in all eight hours of his work as Gus McCrae in Lonesome Dove. Treat yourselves if you can.
A giant loss: Robert Duvall is gone. An extraordinary artist who was fluent in every dialect of film acting, from ice-cold underplayer (The Godfather) to expert naturalist (Tender Mercies, The Apostle) to balls-to-the-wall maniac (Apocalypse Now). One of our all-timers. Plunge into that filmography.
tl;dr? Okay: Let us do our jobs.
I'm writing a book. Every working day begins with me rewriting what I wrote the day before, and the day before that. If your reaction to that is "AI could save you that trouble," I know you're not a writer. Computer programs can't sleep on it, can't dream an idea, can't suddenly realize something.
One thing you see in both the smug dope from the Plain Dealer and the Cruise/Pitt clip is profound resentment at the idea that creative work is a skill with human variables--experience, instinct, practice, imagination. There is real anger at the very idea that non-technological human talent matters.
The combination of having a stupid and destructive idea and the unearned confidence to boast and preen about it is not new, but in the RFK Jr. era, these guys have all gotten so LOUD.
In any case, this editor belongs nowhere near journalism, and for "ingest" alone, he should be invited to retire.
“We plan to hire an AI rewrite specialist to ingest the reporting by Hannah and others and use AI to convert it into stories.”
The editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer said it will use AI to ‘write’ its articles.

Roberta Flack? '73?
This would be, in every way, worse than a Netflix-WB deal. No point in preserving the integrity of the theatrical experience for a company funded by a right-wing ideologue. I don't believe there's a world in which Larry Ellison funds One Battle or Sinners. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/15/b...
You don't need to stick with any devil, though. Think about walking away. You will be amazed how quickly you stop missing it.
Audiobooks 100% count.
I guess I see being yourself as a neutral value.
I'm sure many of them are great. But this isn't door-to-door canvassing (at least I hope it isn't) and everybody's entitled to their filters.
This is straight-up Nazi rhetoric from Musk, and the only tiny thing I can do is address myself to those of you who are still on X. No more excuses about how you need "reach" or how good the conversation is there or the importance of debate. You will not regret walking away, and it's time.
Is the country safer now?

Looking forward to seeing both!
Okay but here he is winning the Oscar for it.
