“The 2023 UCLA Hollywood Diversity Report suggests that women and people of color drove viewership for the year's most popular streaming content.” Via Inside Streaming

inside.com/s/423407
The report suggests that female creators -- in front of and behind the camera -- find significantly more opportunities on streaming platforms than in the theatrical film marketplace. -Women creators continue to receive smaller budgets and fewer resources, on average, than their male counterparts. -Women also reached proportionate representation as leads in streaming films, but those films were more likely to have smaller budgets and casts. -People of color also reached roughly proportionate representation on screen in streaming projects in 2023, but continue to lag behind in terms of behind-the-scenes opportunities.

OpenAI’s GPT-4o Isn’t ‘Her,’ It’s ‘Metropolis’
With OpenAI’s latest model, GPT-4 Omni, all anyone can talk about is how AI girlfriends are going to end the world. But they've been seen as a harbinger of chaos for a long, long time.

As a teenager I spent so many hours immersed in The Moody Blues and the sound created by Mike Pinder's Mellotron. Rest in peace sir.

How did the Mellotron, and later the synthesizer become so integral to psychedelic rock, progressive rock and eventually all modern music? It was Mike Pinder’s destiny to find and master the Mellotron to produce what became a defining sound in progressive rock.

Mike Pinder, who helped pioneer the use of the Mellotron and was the keyboardist for the Moody Blues, died last week in California

Remembering Mike Pinder, the Moody Blues keyboardist who died last week. He introduced the Beatles and the world to the Mellotron, which became a signature sound of the psychedelic era.

A hell of a photo by Lily Kepner of the Austin American-Statesman
A line of Texas state troopers faces the camera on the leafy campus of UT Austin. Behind them, a police prisoner-transport van stands with its back doors open as an arrested student protestor stands with several officers, including one with zip ties hanging from his belt. All around them are more state troopers, local police, and, further away, protesters and onlookers

Things unraveled for Brooke Baldwin at CNN, which she defines as “coming apart,” but it also can mean “getting to the truth.”

Leaving CNN Was How Brooke Baldwin Found Her Voice
The former anchor exited the network after 13 years not because of Trump coverage or pandemic chaos, but because of something far more ordinary—and insidious.

Richard Serra would often talk about our attachment to screens and in part his work was a reaction to all things virtual. He would often say his sculptures were not the art – it was the human experience of moving and walking through his work that mattered.
