Brooks Barnes / New York Times:
None of the 25 dramas and comedies in N. American theaters in the last three months had $50M+ in sales; October had the lowest box office on record, except 2020 — It has been a brutal three months for dramas and comedies. — Some were heavily marketed. Many were championed by critics.

tl;dr No, given a readily available data set on a webpage, they can't.
The sweetest and scariest part was his sympathy for Copilot's very anxious inner monologue as it tried to come up with answers while working to a deadline that nobody had created.
When it comes to system prompts, the anxious tone of Copilot’s internal responses suggests a “ship now, apologize later, if you’re caught” system prompt that, if reflected in a real-world workplace, would be problematic. Obviously, AIs don’t have feelings that can be hurt and won’t complain to HR, but such a culture tends to encourage people to cut corners and make poor decisions that compromise quality and customer service. If Copilot is any indication, the same is true for AIs.

Two teachers who were in a dire strait while trying to get their students to Disney World were on the phone for about 30 minutes to make a reservation with a charter bus service. Little did either of them know that the phone call would cost them $18,000 in fees due to the company’s refund policies.
“ I don’t even know how to make this video, but I have to just let this out of what just happened to us,” said Heather (@hdlthegreat) in a video with over 11,000 views.

Say it with me, friends: Not everything needs to be a movie! In fact, many things could stand not being a movie. High on that list is, in my humble opinion, the Labubu, those horrifying little monsters you see swinging on the bag of every other hip person on the street. Unfortunately, it seems like Sony Pictures does not share that sentiment.
Variety announced that Sony Pictures has picked up the screen rights to the Chinese doll brand with the aim of making a movie with the potential of a franchise, should it be received well. The deal was just signed this past week, so there is currently nobody attached to the project yet. It is also too early to know if the movie will be live-action, animated, or a mix of the two à la Where the Wild Things Are. Though, if they do that, get Arcade Fire again.

Donald Trump recently invited Syrian President and former head of Al Qaeda’s Syrian faction, Ahmed al-Sharaa, to the White House. Their meeting was aimed at possibly enhancing trade relations between the United States and Syria, as part of Trump’s broader initiative to improve the nation’s ties with the Middle East.
On November 10, Donald Trump and Ahmed al-Sharaa had a short discussion after the latter was invited to the White House. After their chat, both appeared in front of the cameras, sharing a few “light-hearted” moments filled with jokes and gift exchanges. A video of their interaction is currently going viral on social media, where Trump is seen joking with al-Sharaa about having multiple wives. In the clip, Trump sprays some cologne from his perfume line on al-Sharaa, claiming it to be the “best” on the market. He then asks someone to pack it for him, mentioning that another bottle was for his wife. Trump also asks Ahmed al-Sharaa how many wives he has, which prompts laughter from al-Sharaa, leading Trump to say, “With you guys, I never know.”

The Republicans have had little to say since Wednesday’s bombshell revelation. On November 12, just a few hours after the government reopened after a prolonged shutdown, the Democrats released screenshots of a series of email interactions between Jeffrey Epstein (disgraced financier and sex offender), Ghislaine Maxwell (Epstein’s close associate and fellow sex offender) and Michael Wolff (journalist), where Donald Trump’s name was mentioned multiple times.
A Republican front that is usually quite vocal and often dismissive has been surprisingly quiet since Wednesday’s exposure, which has caught many off guard, especially those who have grown accustomed to their aggressive behaviour in similar situations. Their silence has raised questions among several individuals who are curious if Trump is actually guilty, not in the sense of committing the same crimes as Jeffrey Epstein, but rather for being aware of Epstein’s crimes and remaining silent, which makes him an enabler and, consequently, a liar for all the times he denied knowing what Epstein was up to.

It’s always sad when somebody isn’t a believer. Sure, talent can only get you so far, but the true ruling force behind any good endeavor is a good Etsy witch. Or at least, that must be what Kim Kardashian said.
Over the weekend, in a TikTok recap of Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday, Kardashian can be heard on the phone going in on the psychics who apparently told her she would pass the bar exam and become a lawyer, which she first mentioned wanting to do in 2019.

In light of Wednesday’s surprising yet not entirely shocking news about Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, Republicans are actively searching for ways to shift the blame onto the Democrats. They have already begun to lay the groundwork for this narrative, as seen in Karoline Leavitt’s recent press briefing, where she labelled the release of emails involving Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Michael Wolff that mention Donald Trump multiple times as a “manufactured hoax” and a “distraction campaign.”
