• The Thing (1982)
• Event Horizon (1997)
• Pitch Black (2000)

Honorable mentions:

• Poltergeist (1982)
• The Fly (1986)

*I'm not an aficionado of the genre, so please don't call me out on genre specifics (because I don't even know them!).

His father, TOTALLY coincidentally, is giving China access to Nvidia's latest chips so that America loses its big lead in AI hardware.

It's ALL about the grift.

Trump Considers Overhaul of Refugee System That Would Favor White People
The proposals would transform a program aimed at helping the most vulnerable people in the world into one that gives preference to mostly white people who say they are being persecuted.

⚽ Obviously I want England to win this World Cup qualifying game, but I can't say I'm a fan of the squad. There are so many players on the team that I can't stand.

100% agree, although I think "AI" is a stupid term. "Machine learning" would probably be more accurate. There are TONS of applications for this technology that aren't harmful to society. Examples include cancer screening, climate and weather modelling, cosmology, material science, etc.

"Nobody under the age of 45 has cable" is just nonsense. It DOES skew to an older demographic, but lots of younger people have it.

Don't forget ESPN is available on cable and on a number of other bundled services like YouTube TV and Roku, as well as separately (or as part of the Disney bundle).

"Tron: Legacy" was gorgeous to look at and it had a brilliant soundtrack. I'm glad it was made!

I haven't seen "Ares" yet, mainly because I don't like Jared Leto. I'll wait for it to be streaming for free.

Do you have figures to back up your claim that F1's official service is the primary way people watch the sport? It may just be my demographic, but everyone I know consumes F1 on ESPN (in the US) or Sky (in the UK).

Any exclusivity deal could definitely fuck things up, unless Apple can deliver the same level of service as F1 TV currently does.
