| rantnrave:// Has anyone that has publicly disagreed with TRUMP on anything ever not been the subject of personal attacks and insults? Great leaders are great listeners. We're on our way to hell with a first class ticket. Where's SUPERMAN or WONDER WOMAN when you need them?... I think the news media has generally let us down during the election. They did not push hard until now if at all. We count on THE FOURTH ESTATE and they weren't there for us. Confrontation and making politicians account for their words, actions and inaction is part of the job... Would have died in ASPEN on August 3rd of a heart attack. Doctor had a hunch and caught it before I went. After a horrendous recovery I'm back in ASPEN this week and going up the mountain to ski. Big step forward in getting my life back... The more I watch the news the more I feel I don't belong on earth... We love oral histories here at REDEF. Check out our new REDEF MediaSET: 'IT'S IN THE HOLE!': ORAL HISTORIES OF SPORTS MOVIES WE LOVE... NY Times 1972 Movie Review: Moving and Brutal 'GODFATHER' Bows... After 133 years of construction, the SAGRADA FAMILIA is finally almost done... Immigrants and billion dollar startups... Happy Birthday to IVANA KIRKBRIDE and SHISHIR MEHROTRA (he called me "a media guy" once). | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |

| In 1838, not yet 30 years old, Abraham Lincoln gave this talk at the Lyceum. 180 years later, less patient modern readers can profitably jump ahead to the italicized portions. In the great journal of things happening under the sun, we, the American people, find our account running under date of the nineteenth century of the Christian era. | | |

| By now, we've all heard of the addictive tile-mashing game called 2048. Last week, I picked up 2048 for the first time and - true to my nature - I started designing an AI to beat the game for me the following day. | | |

| Strong encryption poses problems for law enforcement, is weakening it worth the risks it presents? It’s…complicated. | | |

| I often comment on the absurdity of the relentlessly down-the-middle approach cultivated by CNN, PBS, NPR and other "mainstream" news organizations. I don't trust this style. I think it is practiced in bad faith. Last night I came upon a new exhibit in my running critique. | | |

| Meditations by Alex Wellerstein, published March 18th, 2016 One of the unexpected things that popped up on my agenda this last week: I was asked to give a private talk to General Michael Hayden, the former director of the National Security Agency (1999-2005), and the Central Intelligence Agency (2006-2009). | | |

| The multiple, remarkable crises subsuming Brazil are now garnering substantial western media attention. That's understandable given that Brazil is the world's fifth most populous country and eight largest economy; its second-largest city, Rio de Janeiro, is the host of this year's Summer Olympics. | | |

| Humanlike robots may seem creepy, but some roboticists are betting they are the key to unlocking a future in which humans and superintelligent computers coexist, work alongside each other and even develop relationships. Two teams working to develop the most humanlike robots on the planet - often dubbed androids - are Hanson Robotics and Hiroshi Ishiguro Laboratories. | | |

| For a long time, the way philanthropy worked was simple: Rich people gave their money to museums and churches and opera houses and Harvard. Their names went up on buildings, charities gave them made-up awards, their grandkids went to rehab, the Earth went around the sun. But philanthropy is changing. | | |

| Kanye West dropped a new album, sort of. It's not really finished yet - he's still publicly tweaking lyrics, arranging the song order, adding and subtracting material. In the technology industry, we would call The Life of Pablo a minimum viable product. That may sound like a pejorative term, but a minimum viable product is actually incredibly important. | | |
|
| The first thing resembling music at Saturday's Donald Trump rally comes from the crowd waiting outside of Cleveland's I-X Center, barking their man's name in vicious staccato. The sound rips clear across the parking lot, where six cops on horseback patrol the blacktop, expecting the worst. | | |

| When a friend begged Andy Danna for some heroin for a sick acquaintance several years ago, he agreed to hook her up. Two years later, when, Danna says, he was clean and on a good path, cops kicked in the door and arrested him "cuz of a rat that sold coke and got busted. | | |

| While an estimated one in three Americans owns a gun, there are very few Internet services gun owners can claim for themselves, and none of them would qualify as a "social network." That's all about to change. Web developer Jonathan Rockett has spent the last two years getting ready for April. | | |

| You may not recognize Ralph J. Gleason's name but without him, Rolling Stone magazine might not ever have existed. When publisher Jann Wenner was a pup, he idolized Gleason, the longtime jazz critic in San Francisco who also appreciated the folk and rock scenes in a way most jazz writers did not (Gleason was also one of Lenny Bruce's great champions). | | |
|
| Despite appearances to the contrary, this year's presidential follies have managed to feature at least a few policy discussions amid all the name-calling. Income inequality in particular has animated voters on both sides of the partisan divide, but the solutions advocated by candidates from each party are markedly different. | | |
|
| For all of his buffoonery about "telling it like it is," Donald Trump is the most politically correct and cowardly candidate in the presidential race. If he actually had the strength to articulate uncomfortable and inconvenient truths, he would turn his favorite word - "loser" - not on full-time professionals in the press, but on his supporters. | | |

| LOS ANGELES - The home that Natasha Gregson Wagner shares with her husband, his sons and their daughter in Venice, a seaside neighborhood here, smells clean in a non-antiseptic way and, on a recent visit, faintly of the lilacs that rested in a vase on the kitchen countertop. | | |

| "We feel like it's a bait and switch." That's Michael Cao, CEO of bitcoin mining firm ZoomHash, one of a number of bitcoin miners currently involved in a months-long dispute over power costs with a public utility provider in Chelan County, Washington. Cao isn't alone. | | |
|
| We all have our origin stories-our radioactive spider bites or parents gunned down outside the Gotham opera. Mine occurred in a movie theater when I was a wee child and features blood, tears and the Devil. It set in motion my career as a director and my relationship with my father, but frankly, I can't believe that I ever watched another movie again. | | |
