Caleb Reese Paul, a 14-year-old award-winning filmmaker & actor has just launched a Kickstarter campaign for his latest and most ambitious film, The Lake in the Sky.The Lake in the Sky is a Coming-Of-Age/Drama short film: Warren’s 16th birthday is rapidly approaching. In a final attempt to grasp onto his fading childhood, he sets out to create a “memory movie” of his late father. His comatose mother, obsession with the past, and haunting invention all come to a critical head on his birthday weekend.What if you could relive any memory? What if you had all your memories at your fingertips, all organized and at the ready, and it was as simple as just a press of a button to relive them? The Lake in the Sky explores these questions with heart and grit through the lenses of childhood, grief, nostalgia, and memory with energetic, high-concept, and (at times) dark sequences rooted in character.Caleb says “The idea for the film started with a feeling that I think a lot of people can rela...

SAN FRANCISCO – Klay Thompson hopped on one leg and flashed three fingers.Players from both the Warriors and Kings had already started to head toward their benches for the intermission before the fourth quarter. But Thompson was savoring his buzzer-beating corner 3 that gave Golden State a 10-point lead heading into the final quarter.Thompson had longed for moments like the ones he had sprinkled in Sunday’s 126-125 series-tying win as he labored through back-to-back rehabilitation journeys from major leg injuries.Thompson ended the afternoon with 26 points on an efficient 9-of-15 shooting. He also tallied three assists and two rebounds in 39 minutes of action.“Klay was amazing, hit some huge shots, but also his defense, that was vintage two-way Klay,” coach Steve Kerr said. “Just both ends of the floor, making one big play after another, playing 39 minutes that, was really, really something.”KLAY AT THE BUZZER Corner three as Q3 expires… get to ABC for Q4! pic.twitter.com/kAn3...

How Elon Musk transformed Twitter’s blue check from status symbol into a badge of shame

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:54:43 GMT

Days after Elon Musk’s Twitter purged blue check marks from VIP users and prominent organizations, the checks reappeared on the accounts of a number of high-profile figures, many of whom promptly stressed they did not ask for or did not want the new verification badge.Those in the latter camp include the rapper Lil Nas X, The New York Times, the scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson, the journalist Kara Swisher, and even the legendary satirical account @dril, to name a few.Even the accounts of public figures known to be deceased, including Bob Saget, Kirstie Alley and Barbara Walters, have had their verification restored, and it is unclear how many of those badges Twitter may be handing out at no charge.The spectacle only added to mounting chaos at Twitter and highlighted how Musk has helped erode the value of the blue check at precisely the moment he’s betting on it to help drive subscription revenue for his company after a massive drop in its core advertising business.Once a recognizable ...

By Gregory KRieg and Eric Bradner | CNNThe question put to South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, hours after he announced plans to run for the Republican presidential nomination, was a simple one: How do you plan to defeat Donald Trump?Scott spoke for nearly a minute, discussing his mother, his belief in the power of prayer and his “faith in God and faith in our future.” When Fox and Friends co-host Steve Doocy lightly pressed for a more direct answer, Scott shook him off again.“As opposed to trying to have a conversation about how to beat a Republican,” he said, “I think we’re better off having a conversation about beating Joe Biden.”Scott, like his fellow GOP presidential contenders, is itching to take on the Democratic president, who is now poised to officially launch his reelection bid. But their first challenge will be getting through the Republican primary — and unseating Trump as the party’s standard bearer.Even with Trump facing...
