This pleases me greatly.
‘OPPENHEIMER’ has passed ‘INCEPTION’ domestically. It is now Christopher Nolan’s biggest non-Batman movie.

So glad we closed a road to traffic and created a pedestrian plaza near the White House…which is now a parking lot.

Happy #NationalDog Day! Celebrate with us by checking out these presidential furry friends through the years. Here, First Lady Grace Coolidge is captured with one of her dogs, Prudence Prim, at a garden party. (1926) Image: @LibraryCongress

"There is no big national conversation about ...why Americans are forced to live with a risk of car crash death roughly 3x higher than Canadians and Australians, 5x higher than Brits and Germans, and 9x higher than Norwegians." @mbolotnikova is right. vox.com/future-perfect/2023/…

Fun fact: in France, Netflix already reports their viewership to writers monthly and pays writers based on that viewership, because it’s the law there. They literally already have this system in place.
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos is reportedly concerned that if they give a fair deal to writers & actors in the U.S. that it will set a precedent for writers/actors in other territories to ask for fair deals. (Source: allyourscreens.com/en/compon…)
