The Guardian has this remarkable story of actor Anthony Hopkins, who comes alive and get all his vigour and energy from just working and being happy to stay alive. He is acting for some sixty years, yet all he wants is to work and be humble about it, no pretenses, and he is 81 years. He just acted in BBC's King Lear and in Netflix's The Two Popes as Pope Benedict. He has taken up classical music composition and painting on the advice of his wife Stella of fifteen years, helping him relax and not take himself seriously.

A Show That Makes Young Japanese Pine for the ‘Inappropriate’ 1980s

  
NYTimes.com - 05.29.2024 Original article ›

LyrArc Article Gist
A popular show on Japan's television network TBS and on Netflix Japan is "Extremely Inappropriate" that takes a widowed physical education teacher boarding a bus in 1986 Japan straight into 2024 and shows him with his rebellious teenage daughter. It contrasts the casual sexism, long work hours and culture of that time in the early postwar years with the concern for sexual harrassment in the workplace, and a culture that is moving away from long work hours. It sees something to value in both eras as the father changes as he adapts to the present and still keeps some of the better parts of the previous era.

WSJ - 02.27.2018 Original article ›
Stephen Wilmot
LyrArc Article Gist
The real reason for the high valuation of $41 billion for Sky Broadcasting by Comcast as it bids for Sky is the need to compete with Netflix, says this piece in the WSJ. Sky has 23 million customers and a strong position in the UK, making it attractive to Comcast. Yet it says this could be a problem for Disney or Comcast as Sky could end up being simply an incumbent TV provider and not the solution they need.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
