This is so true; there are no white male millennials in media, save Tony Dokoupil, Trevor Ault, Robert Costa, Ben Taub, Ronan Farrow, Brian Tyler Cohen, Jon Favreau, Ben Shapiro, Jon Lovett, Ezra Klein, Michael Knowles, Drew Harwell, Donnie O'Sullivan, Jeffrey Cook, Devin Dwyer, Andrew Dymburt, etc

Age of consent in Florida and USVI is 18. It's 17 in NY.

There's nothing "barely legal" about an adult having sex with a 15 year old.

It's rape.

I am not sure you followed his argument, echoed in the BBC piece below. A few humorous quips aside, the interlude was so pro-AI it would make a CompSci prof blush. The "interlude" at our show was 15+ mins long & almost ruined the show, IMO. Petinaud and Blanchard were saving graces.

"If it was just me, I would move the company out of NYC because I hate this guy so much…But I won't because there's a lot of people in New York, and I don't want to change their lifestyle for it."

Sooooo... what is the journalistic merit of this story? The HL should be "Guy Has Random Thought"

Oh yeah. Albert Ruddy was working at RAND as a computer programmer, decided it would be easier to make money in Hollywood, pitched Hogan's Heroes, and the rest is history. Paramount made a whole miniseries about the making of the Godfather called The Offer. Miles Teller plays Ruddy.

Wait until you tell them that its success led directly to getting the film adaptation of Puzo's The Godfather made.

My musical hill-to-die-on is that all kids shd begin on either drums (bc all instruments are rhythm instruments) or piano/guitar (to learn chord structure from the beginning). But as a bassist, I humbly suggest you consider the bass. Super hard to master, but easy to pick up & play along quickly.
