88 years ago Today, Orson Welles broadcast his radio adaptation of Herbert G. Wells' The War of the Worlds, as Halloween episode over the CBS Radio. The episode remains the most famous, the most cited and possibly the earliest example of mass media effect on the public.

If they do this, it would be funny if Cardi B somehow got a press pass and showed up to ask a question.

Gen Z not getting driver’s licenses and cars getting too expensive so dealing with traffic is getting repackaged as a virtual play experience.

This is arguably the best GTA 6 leak, and I really like it - after all, you’ll be spending 60% of your time traveling around.

Actually, you’re expected to clean a nearby Airbnb once a month, just as part of your regular routine, even if you don’t use Airbnb AT ALL. You should have been sent a little bucket with cleaning supplies, instructions, and a local coupon book—Airbnb’s way of saying “thank you.”

We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence. block.xyz/dessa
Dessa - the Conversation Model trained only on speech

The author is dead! (Crowd cheers) But the author function lives on (crowd boos) Rather than attributing the text to a single origin point, we as critics must map the complex web of institutions and power relations that constitute "authorship" (crowd yawns, disperses)
