I'm back on the MATLOCK beat for Vulture. The good news: The season premiere brings back all the good, twisty storytelling that worked last year. The bad news: I don't know how long the show can continue in this direction. The worst news: The backstage drama is awful. www.vulture.com/article/matl...
Matlock Season-Premiere Recap: Continuance
Even with all their secrets out in the open, Matty proves that she’s still one step ahead.

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

around two years ago i made the point that genAI technologies were a fascist project designed to undermine facts, truth and history and so here is some slop machine humiliating a hero of the american civil rights movement

ai is a fascist tool. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
Ilyasah Shabazz didn’t want to look at the AI-generated videos of her father, Malcolm X. The seemingly realistic clips — made by OpenAI’s new video-maker Sora 2 — show the legendary civil rights activist making crude jokes, wrestling with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and talking about defecating on himself. “It is deeply disrespectful and hurtful to see my father’s image used in such a cavalier and insensitive manner when he dedicated his life to truth,” Shabazz, whose father was assassinated in front of her in 1965 when she was 2, told The Washington Post. She questioned why the developers were not acting “with the same morality, conscience, and care … that they’d want for their own families.”

There's so much poetry just in hearing Daniel Day-Lewis speak as himself, and about himself. The soul of this man, to the extent it's on display here, is fascinating. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/m...
Q Is the difference here that you’d rather talk about the work with your collaborators than with someone after the fact? DAY-LEWIS The transactions that take place between you and your collaborators are of a very particular kind, and by the time I ever get to a set, I hope that the talking is more or less over and you’re inside that world you’ve tried to create for yourself. Talking about it now is a little bit fraudulent because I’m trying to reconstruct an experience that I have very little objective understanding of. I really will try to find my way to answer anything you ask me, but I can’t be entirely sure that it’s not just a reinvention in hindsight. Q Your father, the poet Cecil Day-Lewis, died when you were 15. You’ve said that you regret not having achieved anything of artistic significance that he could have witnessed. DAY-LEWIS Of any kind of significance, yeah. Q So I’ve got to think that to be able to watch your son embark on his biggest project of artistic significance thus far, and to do that alongside him, has got to be immensely satisfying. DAY-LEWIS That’s a lovely observation, it really is. It was quite useful to me, and unique. We were both amazed that we were given this opportunity to do this thing. That quiet sense of joy ran through the entire period of time, sharing that precious time with Ronan. It was very, very special. Q When you were young, what did acting mean to you? DAY-LEWIS At a very early age, it seemed to me not just that there was a good chance I was going to try to have a career as an actor, but that I needed to have that career to survive in the world. The theater, when I first discovered it in boarding school, really became a sanctuary. To be in that illuminated box, I felt relatively safe from what appeared in every other respect to be a hostile and cruel environment. Q Still, you considered forsaking it as a young man to instead become a cabinetmaker, and even as an adult, you once put your acting career aside to work as a cobbler. What appealed to you about that path? DAY-LEWIS The craft thing almost felt like an alternative, largely because it’s tangible. In performance arts, we’re dancing with shadows and it’s a matter of taste: You like his face, you don’t like his face. But if you’re making shoes or a piece of furniture or a musical instrument, the quality of that is tangible. To me, it was an antidote to the unknown. Q Do you consider acting a craft, too? DAY-LEWIS I don’t really like thinking of acting in terms of craft at all. Of course, there are techniques you can learn, and I know that the Method has become an easy target these days. I’m a little cross these days to hear all kinds of people gobbling off and saying things like “gone full Method,” which I think is meant to imply that a person’s behaving like a lunatic in an extreme fashion. Everyone tends to focus on the less important details of the work, and those details always seem to involve some sort of self-flagellation or an experience that imposes upon oneself a severe discomfort or mental instability. But of course, in the life of an actor, it has to principally be about the internal work.
