@KatyaTaylor Yes, what a shame. Can’t say she’s inconsistent with her politics though

@jamey_flowers @TrumpDailyPosts I mean, you should really be thanking Russia for WW2

@TrumpDailyPosts Good. I'd be ok with double the tariffs. Europe has been too weak for too long. All because we protect them. And now they have a chance to pay us back for world War 1 and 2 and this is what they do? Make em pay!

Donald J. Trump Truth Social Post 11:19 AM EST 01.17.26 We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently. Only the United States of America, under PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, can play in this game, and very successfully, at that! Nobody will touch this sacred piece of Land, especially since the National Security of the United States, and the World at large, is at stake. On top of everything else, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet. These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable. Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken so that this potentially perilous situation end quickly, and without question. Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America. On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%. This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland. The United States has been trying to do this transaction for over 150 years. Many Presidents have tried, and for good reason, but Denmark has always refused. Now, because of The Golden Dome, and Modern Day Weapons Systems, both Offensive and Defensive, the need to ACQUIRE is especially important. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars are currently being spent on Security Programs having to do with “The Dome,” including for the possible protection of Canada, and this very brilliant, but highly complex system can only work at its maximum potential and efficiency, because of angles, metes, and bounds, if this Land is included in it. The United States of America is immediately open to negotiation with Denmark and/or any of these Countries that have put so much at risk, despite all that we have done for them, including maximum protection, over so many decades. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

@DonaldClarke63 I took my girls to the Wicked 2 film and was baffled by how bad it was

I think 2025 was a pretty good year for films, but at least five of these are downright bad.

@AdamLehrerSP Oh look another silly X-tweet on this silly X-platform

Convenient that the once great filmmaker who made the worst film of 2025 would also have to namedrop a bunch of other bad 2025 movies from the worst year for movies ever when considering it’ll be the one year he wins an unearned academy award for. Must be brutal to know you won for the shittiest piece of shit in the shittiest year of all time.

@TrungTPhan When has an industry regulated itself effectively and hasn't just repeated the same mistakes?

James Cameron is on Avatar 3 promo tour and has been talking alot AI. I took some notes: > thinks it’ll drop VFX and make more blockbusters economical > will never fully replace human actors > Hollywood has to regulate itself (government reg too blunt) readtrung.com/p/james-camero…

The most prominent example of a film that was financially viable because of generative AI was “Here” by Robert Zemeckis. Starring Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, it shows a couple living through multiple decades.  The film’s budget was ~$50m and wouldn’t be able to cover traditional process for de-aging: ▫️Make-up: Takes hour to put on and can make actors look 10 years younger (but not 50 as the film requires)  ▫️CGI: Expensive and long (per NYT, “Persuading us that we’re watching Hanks and Wright in their 20s would have required hundreds of VFX artists, tens of millions of dollars and months of postproduction work.”) Zemeckis says “Here” was able to be made in 2024 but not in 2021 (due to CGI costs). Also by using generative AI, Hanks and Wright could act more naturally without thick make-up (or those CGI dots) on their face. The AI effects were done by Metaphysics (the company’s content head is Ed Ulbrich, the former CEO of Digital Domain, James Cameron’s FX firm).  Metaphysics AI tools were particularly useful because of how much video and images there are of Hanks and Wright over the decades (won’t be the case for all actors). Some of those images include 1994’s “Forrest Gump”, which was also directed by Zemeckis starring Hanks and Wright. That banger used a lot of advanced aging effects for the time and won the 1995 Best Visual Effects Oscar. A best case scenario might be instead of a studio spending $200m for a single blockbuster, it could finance and staff up 4 films at $50m (which could reach same visual quality bar using new tech). *** More from NYT: nytimes.com/2024/11/01/mag… “Here” featurette: m.youtube.com/watch?si=64-Vy…

@KonstantinKisin How's that 'end to the killing in Gaza' going?

On the day Trump has put an end to the killing in Gaza and secured the return of the hostages, I think it's perfectly reasonable to demand some contrition from the people who think he can never do anything right. Imagine Kamala or Biden were in charge right now?

@FreddyInSpace It was like this with The Abyss until a couple of months ago

I'm going to launch a streaming service that only plays NEAR DARK and promises to never stop streaming NEAR DARK. Because this shit is getting ridiculous. It's one of the best vampire movies ever made. And it should absolutely never NOT be streaming.

@BlanckMass @nickfilm @Lionsgate @FifthSeason that looks pretty fun!

INCREDIBLY pleased to announce that the new @nickfilm movie 'SHE RIDES SHOTGUN' that I scored is seeing it's theatrical release on August 1st 2025 🙏 via @lionsgate and @fifthseason News of OST release will be coming in the next few weeks... Can't wait to share it with you all

@stone_lands @megportal @LittleBrownUK @JoannaSwainson my shelf is bulging and creaking but I kind of need this!

I’m very happy to say that STONE LANDS publishes today! @megportal are doing a giveaway of signed copies. A huge thank you to the amazing @LittleBrownUK team, the awesome @JoannaSwainson, the incredible illustrator Philip Harris & all you who sent me your stories and insights! ❤️

@BenGoldsmith @SUTONGIROTCIP Describing the keffiyeh as akin to a swastika or a KKK robe is far weirder Ben

Having seen the hatred and now violence levelled at Jews outside of Israel in the last two years, I bet he’s no longer an anti-Zionist Jew. By the way, a Jew who calls for the dismantling of the world’s only (tiny) Jewish state, built in the ancestral homeland of the Jews, is bound to have some pretty serious personal issues to contend with. It’s just such a weird stance.

Worn by white westerners, the keffiyeh is today’s KKK white robe and hood.

@jaysatur @mulaney Ha! yes very good he's got fine taste

@mulaney Dope reference to your fantasy baseball team @adammpark

A small sampling of what is playing in my office at a volume some have called ‘too loud’. Playlist: open.spotify.com/playlist/1zvbp…

@BenGoldsmith "Keffiyeh scarves - the new swastikas" - what a deluded statement.

‘I was scared and alone’: the victims of university antisemitism The bullying of Jews on university campuses is a scourge straight out of the 1930s. You can spot the bullies by their Covid face-masks and Keffiyeh scarves - the new swastikas. thetimes.com/article/5b0261…

@gnomeslair Wow that's a nostalgia bomb right there

Used to actually dream about this as a kid.

@clairenichan Oh, that'll be worth listening to

Empire Podcast finally does an Irish series. 🙌❤️

@DannyDrinksWine Flesh Gordon

Name a movie that was completely different to what you were expecting.

@nfergus William Dalrymple’s podcast seems to disagree with you? @DalrympleWill

When you read about @oxfamgb's latest Marxist tract, you need to be aware that the preeminent historian of the economy of British India is @RoyHistory1, and he is not messing around when he calls it "mindless illiteracy."
