Forget what that Christmas song says! Here at TV Fanatic, we think award season is the most wonderful time of the year. And in terms of both television ratings and general global interest, award shows don’t get any bigger than the Academy Awards. The stakes are higher than usual this year, as some major blockbuster films with some very devoted fan bases appear to be neck-and-neck in some of the major categories. The race between Barbie and Oppenheimer (two quite different films that hit theaters on the same day) might be getting the most attention, but…
A spirited President Joe Biden delivered a fiery, partisan State of the Union address on Thursday, fit for an election year with enormously high stakes in a divided nation.”Not since President Lincoln and the Civil War have freedom and democracy been under assault here at home as they are today,” Biden said early in the speech.”What makes our moment rare is that freedom and democracy are under attack, both at home and overseas, at the very same time,” he said.”Overseas, [President Vladimir] Putin of Russia is on the march, invading Ukraine and sowing chaos throughout Europe and beyond. If anybody in this room thinks Putin will stop at Ukraine, I assure you, he will not,” the president said to cheers from Democrats and applause from…
Nothing says you’ve ‘made it’ quite like a pair of leather slippers. Perhaps it’s because—unlike their fluffy counterparts—the blue-blooded kind are seen as a signifier of sophistication and class. Or maybe it’s the fact that you usually wear them with luxury lounge pants and a cashmere jumper – not a Spider-Man dressing gown and novelty pajamas. Whatever the real reasoning behind their charm, I think what makes them most appealing is, despite their obvious elegance, you don’t need to be aristocratic to pull them off. In fact, the best men’s leather slippers are for everyone. And damn, does it feel…

There’s been a lot of discussion in recent years about the practice of capitalizing on celebrities’ digital likenesses without their consent, whether after they die or while they’re still alive. Zelda Williams, for one — the Lisa Frankenstein director and daughter of Robin Williams — slammed the “disturbing†trend of people trying to recreate the voices and faces of the deceased last year, as striking actors fought for, among other things, better protections around studios’ potential use of AI clones. Yet despite the obvious ethical issues, companies keep doing it. The latest? Soul Machines just unveiled “Digital Marilyn,†an AI…

WASHINGTON — Congress has passed a final fiscal year 2024 spending bill that provides, in some cases, significantly less funding than requested for civil space programs. The Senate passed a spending bill March 8 that combined six separate spending bills, including those for commerce, justice and science (CJS) and transportation. The House passed the bill two days earlier, and the Senate passage came hours before a continuing resolution funding those parts of the government was set to expire. The bill was unchanged from what House and Senate appropriators released March 3. It provides NASA with $24.875 billion for 2024, 8.5%…
Children at a temporary shelter in Rafah, in southern GazaRizek Abdeljawad/Xinhua/Alamy The situation in Gaza is rapidly devolving into the worst humanitarian crisis in modern memory, and international health organisations have no long-term plans for addressing the territory’s post-war needs.
