#Latinos made some noise at the #Oscars this year! But also some snubs.
Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein" got 9 nods (Best Pic). Wagner Moura's "The Secret Agent got 4 nods (Best Pic). Benicio del Toro Best Supporting Actor!
But no Oscar Isaac for Best Actor, no Guillermo Del Toro for director.

His reaction to the ongoing ICE raids, Puerto Rico’s enforced colonization, and now, he has to stand on an American stage while Latin America is under siege. 👀 🇺🇸🇻🇪

I'm not sure if you noticed, but...
Oscar Isaac's Dr. Victor Frankenstein and Timothy Chalomet's "Marty Supreme" are essentially the same character. Both in the relentless pursuit of absolute greatness.

I've been messing with AI images over the last few days and created these BTS shots from two of my favorite Latino movies: 'Stand and Deliver' and 'La Bamba.' They capture the most iconic scenes from each film. They're also completely AI fake.

I’m not sure if anyone here messes with AI, but… I just played with Google’s Gemini 3.0, and am truly stunned 😳 at the level of intelligence and TASTE the model has. It’s dare I say… revolutionary. Websites, video games, wallpapers that you’d ACTUALLY share are now just a warbled prompt away.

Maybe it’s my algorithm, but social media content seems more interesting than TV programming.
I went to watch TV, regular TV, and couldn’t find anything that resonated.
Went on TikTok and immediately got hooked. The production quality is getting so good, it’s starting to feel like the new TV.

Google's AI Overview is terrible.
It just replied that the Pacers are leading the Thunder 3-1 in the #NBAFinals when it's really 2-2. 👀
#Google should NOT be allowed to release anything to the public until these hallucinations stop. This is straight up disinformation and they are complicit in it.

Emmy nomination voting has officially begun!
As a voter for the past several years, I can tell you this year's acting performances are to going to make for a very tough ballot.
Sad so many great performances will be overlooked, but it’s a testament to the sheer depth of talent in TV right now.
