AdvertisementThis as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Declan Rhodes, a 25-year-old former employee of Foxtrot, an upscale convenience store chain that was based in Chicago. This will be a nice little survival job while I'm auditioning." It was just: "Kick everyone out of the store, take out the trash, lock doors, and close the store officially." My next move after FoxtrotIt's back to square one in terms of finding a survival job.

☆ The seemingly AI-generated ads for 'Civil War,' A24's most expensive film, are laughable — especially if you're from Chicago

One image appears to show soldiers in a boat somewhere near Los Angeles pointing their guns at a giant swan. "These are AI images inspired by the movie," the source told the outlet. Promotion for the horror-comedy "Late Night with the Devil" has been bogged down by complaints that the filmmakers used AI. AdvertisementMarketing for "Civil War" has been controversial even beyond the use of AI, with some people criticizing it as misleading. The images A24 posted do not do that feeling — or the movie they're supposed to be promoting — justice.

CNN —Concorde, the world’s fastest commercial aircraft, has been making a rare journey – floating down New York’s Hudson River. The British Airways Concorde, one of only 20 of the supersonic aircraft to ever fly, has been en route back to NYC’s Intrepid Museum after being sanded and recoated during several months of restoration. The last ever flight by a Concorde was made on November 26, 2003. That aircraft, known as Delta Foxtrot, is now housed in Aerospace Bristol, an aviation museum in the west of England. Tours of Intrepid’s Concorde will resume on April 4, the museum says.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jeff Tweedy is known to fans as a prolific songwriter and poignant lyricist. Perhaps ironically, that fear is in part what compelled a young Tweedy to start writing music four decades ago. But as he gears up to release his third book on Tuesday, Tweedy admits the task of writing no longer daunts him the way it once did. “I think that there was something really important about the way my generation and previous generations invested themselves in music. While the discomfort is at times distracting for him, he says the act of performing does, for brief moments, make him forget.

☆ I started making candles from a humble craft kit and grew it into a million-dollar business. Here are the steps I took to go from Etsy to Nordstrom.

Tamara Mayne started making candles as gifts for her family with a store-bought candlemaking kit. I thought: Why not try and make some extra cash from selling candles on the side? I also started selling on Scoutmob — a now defunct website where buyers could discover independent makers, while still selling on Etsy and Squarespace. After a few weeks of just selling candles, I decided to pick up some freelance art-directing work to cover the bills. Our candles cost between $28 and $38 because of our increased overhead, when I first started selling them I was charging only $16.

During hours of testimony, Rhodes told jurors that going into the Capitol was "stupid" because it "opened the door for our political enemies to persecute us, and that’s what happened, and here we are." Meggs, Harrelson and Watkins went inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Rhodes said that he was "concerned" on Jan. 6 that Oath Keepers would get caught up "in all the nonsense with the Trump supporters" around the Capitol and that he sent a message on the encrypted app Signal asking Oath Keepers to gather at a spot near the Capitol for that reason. Yet as a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol, Rhodes praised the "patriots" and compared their actions to those of the country's founders, according to government evidence presented at trial. Rhodes said that he and the Oath Keepers were prepared to walk the “founders' path” but that even today he hopes conflict can be avoided.
