@travelhacked Strong view that within the next few yrs Amex will create a card tier that's higher than platinum but lower than black/Centurion as there are too many ppl w/ Platinum and value is being diluted.

AMEX PLATINUM IS LOSING MORE PERKS
More changes are coming to the Amex Platinum, and some of the long-time benefits are getting cut.
What is changing
- Effective 5/7, Uber VIP is gone.
- Replaced with Signature Support for Amex, which is basically 24/7 phone access to customer service
- Effective 6/10, Events with Amex is being removed
- Effective 6/30, the Saks credit is ending
- A new replacement credit will be announced later
- Effective 7/8, Centurion Lounge guest rules get tighter
- Guests must be on the same flight as the cardholder
- On layovers, card members must arrive within 5 hours of the connecting flight
- Same day round trips do NOT count as connecting flights
TLDR:
- Use your Saks credit before it disappears
- Expect Amex to replace old perks with more restrictive or less useful ones
Amex keeps changing the Platinum... thoughts?

@_rotimia @PhilSustainable @nytopinion OK, then why haven’t they? If Dems “have a chance to make a unique promise to Americans,” why have they failed to deliver on the very thing that is an essential precursor to making good on this promise? NIMBYs have way too much power and sway over public policy.

@PhilSustainable @nytopinion That’s a problem and blue states need to get rid of bad zoning laws and hold local municipalities accountable that do not build.

@TheRewatchables Personally would’ve given it to Julianne Moore (or Joan Cusack), though Basinger is better in L.A. Confidential—and many other projects—than she is given credit for.
I think Gloria Stuart, with all due respect, is the head-scratcher here.

@zakfilm Never has happened (at the Oscars, in the same year), though Kate Winslet and Sigourney Weaver did win the Golden Globe in both categories in 2009 and 1989, respectively.

@ElBlackPhillipp Dreadful. Constance Zimmer was the real supporting actor standout of Love Story (particularly the final episode).

@DonaldClarke63 @Damiansport1 Streep already won at Cannes—for Best Actress (A Cry in the Dark) in ’89.
I could see her Joni Mitchell biopic, if/when it gets made, go to Venice.
English
@Damiansport1 Kidman has to be considerable favourite. Berlin perennially goes to less prominent actors. MacLaine is out of it. Streep is almost never in Cannes films. MacLaine is retired. Maybe Del Toro or Hunter.

Four actors achieved the Grand Slam in their career (Oscar+Berlin+Cannes+Venice individual award):
Jack Lemmon
Sean Penn
Juliette Binoche
Julianne Moore (in span of just 12 years!)

The Chinese Embassy calls me a liar & anti-China. I was a friend of China for 40 yrs from my first extended visit in 1979. I was VP of the Cda-China Friendship Society & helped them build their R&D capacity. But then Beijing kidnapped innocent Cdns, put spy buoys in our Arctic & forced millions of Uyghurs into indoctrination, forced labour & prisons. China is losing some of its best friends, like I once was, through Xi’s actions. @hrw_chinese
中国驻加拿大大使馆 Chinese Embassy in Canada@ChinaEmbOttawa
Chinese Embassy Spokesperson’s Response to Media Question Regarding the Erroneous Comments on Xinjiang Question from the Media: Yesterday, when testifying at a hearing of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology regarding the Canadian federal government’s automotive policy, a Canadian scholar stated that there is “forced labor” in the production of Chinese electric vehicle components, so Canada should not import Chinese EVs. What is China’s take on this? Answer: The blatant lie spread by a handful of anti-China individuals about the so-called “forced labor” in China aims to achieve nothing but “forced unemployment”. What they want is simply to deprive the Chinese people of their right to pursue a happy life through hard work, disrupt the normal production and operation of Chinese enterprises, and suppress China’s development, which will also severely damage the stability of global supply chains. Their ulterior motive cannot be any clearer, and it seriously infringes upon the labour rights of the Chinese people. We strongly condemn and resolutely oppose it. The Chinese government has always adhered to the “people-centered” philosophy, attaching great importance to its citizens’ basic rights, including their labour rights. It is the overriding priority for the Chinese government to create jobs for people of all ethnic groups so that their rights to employment are protected and that they can live a decent and happy life. China-Canada EV cooperation is intrinsically mutually beneficial and win-win, as it brings tangible benefits to the people of both countries. And such cooperation is very much welcomed by the majority of the Canadian public. No matter how many times repeated, a lie is always a lie. Using the so-called “forced labor” as a pretext to smear and attack China will never be accepted. Using it to undermine China-Canada EV cooperation will find no support. And the anti-China forces’ ill-intentioned political manipulation of the so-called “forced labor” is doomed to fail.

The U.S. government just told every American to think twice before connecting through Hong Kong International Airport.
61 million passengers transited HKIA last year. Transfer and transit traffic surged 50% year over year. Airlines added 30 new routes in 2025. Hong Kong was winning back its position as Asia's top connecting hub.
Four days ago, all of that math changed.
The new rule: if Hong Kong police suspect you of anything related to "national security," you must hand over every password to every device you're carrying. Refuse, and you face a year in prison and a $12,700 fine. Give a wrong password, claim you forgot it, and the penalty triples to three years and $63,000. This applies to residents, tourists, business travelers, and people who never planned to set foot in the city but booked a connecting flight through it.
The law bypassed Hong Kong's legislature entirely. Chief Executive John Lee gazetted the amendments and they took effect the same day. No debate. No judicial authorization requirement. Customs officers can now seize any item they deem to have "seditious intention" without an arrest.
Here's what makes this different from airport security anywhere else. TSA can scan your bags. EU border agents can question you. But in most democracies, compelling you to decrypt your own devices requires a court order and the right to legal counsel. Hong Kong just eliminated both steps.
The professional exposure is wild. Lawyers, doctors, and journalists are explicitly covered. Even people bound by confidentiality obligations must comply. Attorney-client privilege, medical records, source protection: none of it overrides a police request under this framework.
386 people have been arrested under Hong Kong's national security laws since 2020. 176 convicted. The definitions of what constitutes a national security threat remain deliberately broad. Sharing a protest slogan on social media, reposting news, wearing the wrong t-shirt in public: all documented triggers.
Every corporate travel department managing Asia-Pacific routes just got a new variable in their risk calculus. The cheapest connection through HKIA now carries a legal exposure that didn't exist last week.

Hong Kong: On March 23, 2026, the Hong Kong government changed the implementing rules relating to the National Security Law. It is now a criminal offense to refuse to give the Hong Kong police the passwords or decryption assistance to access all personal electronic devices including cellphones and laptops. This legal change applies to everyone, including U.S. citizens, in Hong Kong, arriving or just transiting Hong Kong International Airport. In addition, the Hong Kong government also has more authority to take and keep any personal devices, as evidence, that they claim are linked to national security offenses.

No, none of the listed countries have laws as broad or warrantless as Hong Kong's new rule (direct police/customs demand at transit, no court order, criminal penalty for refusal on vague "national security" grounds).
- **UK**: Closest via RIPA 2000 s49—authorities (police/intel) can issue notices for keys/decryption; 2-5 yrs prison (NS cases). Oversight exists but no always-prior court warrant.
- **US**: Requires court warrant/All Writs Act order; 5th Amendment limits (self-incrimination). Border searches broader but not automatic criminal refusal penalty.
- **Canada/Israel/Japan**: Judicial authorization needed for individual compulsion; focus on providers/tech support or warrants. No equivalent transit/refusal crime.
Travelers face risks but with more due process.

Love the pop-cultural Deidre Hallissance of the 2020s, between Hacks and Gosling…
Variety@Variety
Ryan Gosling accepts Deidre Hall’s invitation to visit the set of "Days of Our Lives," calling Hall his “OG acting inspiration.” “This is a very enthusiastic yes to a very cordial invitation. I will be there to thank you in person… It wasn’t Marlon Brando. It wasn’t De Niro. It was you.” “They do not get the love they deserve,” Gosling said of soap actors. “The amount they have to memorize the night before — like 10 pages of dialogue. They get one take, and it’s impossible scenarios.” He added that watching Hall shift between a “normal person” and someone “possessed by the devil” was “an incredible acting class.” variety.com/2026/film/news…

@CinemaTweets1 The rogue planet dead-ass being named Melancholia is such a gag. Kirsten Dunst’s best performance ever?
English
I’m checking in to make sure you’ve seen Melancholia. If you haven’t seen Lars von Trier’s science fiction drama featuring Kirsten Dunst, the time is now. A random planet is about to collide with Earth & the story tracks two sisters trying to cope. You should see this movie.
