Opinion: Trump gives Biden one big lift
  + stars: | 2024-03-17 | by ( Richard Galant | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +18 min
Former President Donald Trump’s favorability ratings are only slightly better. The bipartisan legislation to control the flow of migrants across the southern border was blown up by opposition from Trump. One thing that is going right for Biden is Trump himself. “I want to vote for Donald Trump in November, wrote Marc A. Thiessen in the Washington Post. … Just like office holders have released their tax returns (up until former President Donald Trump), I would like to see more candidates release their physical and mental health assessments,” Schurman observed.

Elon Musk's charity platform, the Musk Foundation, has come under some scrutiny from The New York Times. Set up in 2002, the foundation's website has a very plain looking design that is devoid of graphics. In 2002, the billionaire started his charity platform, the Musk Foundation, with his brother, Kimbal. But its website appears to be fairly sparse for an organization endowed with billions of dollars from Musk's fortune. This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers.

CNN —John Cena literally bared it all at the Oscars on Sunday. The actor appeared on stage during the telecast to present the award for best costume design hilariously appearing to wear nothing at all. No really, Cena appeared on the stage at the year’s most prestigious event in Hollywood… almost entirely naked. “Dude, I don’t wrestle naked,” Cena said. “I wrestle in jorts!”“Jorts are worse than naked!” Kimmel said as the audience laughed.

CNN —Melissa McCarthy was the ultimate fangirl at the SAG Awards on Saturday when she asked Billie Eilish for an autograph onstage. Eilish ended up signing her name – with permanent marker – right on McCarthy’s forehead while the pair were presenting the award for outstanding performance by a female actor in a comedy series. While McCarthy attempted to continue gushing over Eilish while she was mid-signature, the singer hilariously covered McCarthy’s mouth as the audience bellowed with laughter. “We’ve actually met before,” McCarthy said, going on to correct herself that they’ve actually met three times. And one of my dogs.”She went on to gush that she actually met Eilish “in utero” before she was even born, because Eilish’s mother, Maggie Baird, was McCarthy’s improv teacher years ago.

The Super Bowl starts at 6:30 p.m. Eastern on Sunday when the Kansas City Chiefs play the San Francisco 49ers. CBS will broadcast the event, which will be played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. Doesn’t matter: Publishers around the world are putting up versions of this story, anyway — with the same keyword-laden text. AdvertisementAs I’m typing this, NBC is currently Google’s top-ranked search result for “What time is the Super Bowl," followed by CBS , which — again — is actually broadcasting the event. And yes: One reason that publishers do these things is because “What time is the Super Bowl?” is a query many people have.

CNN —Jacob Elordi is taking a step – and a bit of a tumble – toward preparing for his “Saturday Night Live” hosting debut in a new promo for the upcoming episode this weekend. After many hilariously feeble attempts, Elordi finally manages to take that step, but tumbles into a full face-plant right on the stage. Johnson and Hernandez are then seen fleeing the area, trying to pretend nothing happened. Splayed out on the floor, Elordi lifts his head just high enough to say, “I’m good!”The upcoming episode of “SNL” is the first show of 2024. Elordi will make his hosting debut alongside musical guest – and star of the new “Mean Girls” reboot – Reneé Rapp.

CNN —Consider journalist Bryan West the “lucky one,” because he’s The Tennessean and USA Today network’s new Taylor Swift reporter. “So, I do follow a lot of Taylor news. I know about every outing, every new song, every lyric, every album release, every party,” he added. Touting his technical skills as a multi-platform journalist and a licensed drone pilot, West went on to highlight his track record for predicting Swift’s album announcements and how he’s one of the 100 accounts the official “Eras Tour” Instagram account follows. Gannett also posted a separate job listing at the time for a Beyoncé Knowles-Carter reporter.

6 Podcasts About the Perils (and Joys) of Modern Dating

Last year marked the 10th anniversary of Tinder, the swipe-based dating app whose mainstream success completely redefined the rules of romance. While early episodes of the podcast featured recorded sets from those live shows, it’s since evolved into a more intimate format. Starter episode: “Gearóid Farrelly”Although it lasted less than two years, this soulful, searching series about digital courtship feels as if it was around much longer. That’s in large part because it shape-shifted midway through its run when its host, Andrea Silenzi, went through a breakup. Opting to use her own situation as “a storytelling device,” Silenzi shares her confusion and heartbreak as she chronicles the indignities (and occasional joys) of app-based dating.

In particular, I continue to marvel at the performance of Margot Robbie, who played the titular heroine — Stereotypical Barbie — and who I think isn’t getting enough credit for holding the movie together. She must journey to the real world, leaving an army of other Barbies behind, to get back to a state of unquestioning bliss. She grudgingly takes Ken (a perfectly doltish Ryan Gosling) with her, and in the real world he discovers the concept of patriarchy. A movie called “Barbie,” and Barbie didn’t always feel like the main character. I also kept thinking about Robbie as Stereotypical Barbie.

ChatGPT, a publicly available language-learning AI, was not designed to create things like crochet or knitting patterns. Before we begin …A few notes on my methodology:For every crochet pattern I generated, I used the prompt “Create a crochet pattern for (blank).”I followed the crochet pattern exactly. At first glance, ChatGPT’s crochet patterns look and read exactly like a crochet pattern. In a traditional crochet pattern, instructions for assembly would note specific places and methods to attach pieces, along with photos or notes on particularly tricky steps. Theoretically, it would be possible to create AI that generated amazing crochet patterns, but that would require very specific training and programming.

One of Cootie’s first rebellions is his insistence on trying a Bing Bang Burger, whose comically unappealing commercials he sees constantly on TV.

Illumina on Sunday announced its board of directors has accepted the resignation of CEO Francis deSouza, just weeks after activist investor Carl Icahn failed to oust him from the biotech company. "It has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve Illumina," deSouza said in the release. Similarly, in an open letter to Illumina shareholders in April, Icahn accused deSouza of "desperately, hilariously and, most of all, unsuccessfully" trying to spin "decidedly mediocre" quarterly results during a press tour. In late May, Icahn had urged shareholders to vote off deSouza and Chairman John Thompson from the nine-member board. Shareholders booted Thompson, but deSouza held onto his role until Sunday.

It represents the dawn of an entirely new mass market and transformational tech opportunity of so-called "spatial computing."

Recalling a moment on the “Dial of Destiny” set in a new Esquire interview published Wednesday, Ford said that he intentionally brushed off the help of a gaggle of stuntmen who rushed over to assist him off a horse after he finished a horseback riding scene. “And I don’t mean that we didn’t make ambitious movies before,” he added. If I’d been less successful, I’d probably be a better parent,” he said, adding, “I accept my flaws and my failures.

Opinion: A cerebral rock star is dead

He is the author of “Lincoln and the Fight for Peace.” The views expressed in this essay are his own. These celebrated writers were the subject of long-form profiles and occasional tabloid scandals, treated as cerebral rock stars and voices of their generation. They were a post-punk crew that migrated from the UK to the US, including Hitchens, Tina Brown and Salman Rushdie. In his final book, “Inside Story,” part memoir and part novel, Amis returned to his friendship with Hitchens in the 1970s, prior to their becoming famous. It chronicles a doomed affair, flashing forward at times to the decline of their friend Saul Bellows from dementia, as well as Hitchens’ death.
At the Grammys in 2020, he had an Andy Kaufmanesque face-off on the red carpet with an unsuspecting Ryan Seacrest. Sometimes, they happen when he’s onstage — at one recent concert, the crowd finished the songs that he couldn’t. But the tics subside when he’s at ease: When fans came up to him outside the Ear Inn to chat, they all but disappeared. “Every piece of content or thing I see with my name next to it is closely followed by Tourette’s. Which is mental, ’cause then I’m like, Billie Eilish has Tourette’s, and she doesn’t bang on about it like I do.”He continued, “It feels dirty.
