Earlier today, OpenAI announced that it would no longer be using a its "Sky" voice for its new chatbot. They didn’t say why, but the voice sounded a lot like Scarlett Johansson’s, despite the fact that the Hollywood star had declined to offer her voice to the company.

From Indie Wire: “You haven’t lived until you see a movie musical where the words mammoplasty, vaginoplasty, rhinoplasty play out in song.” This happens in “Emilia Pérez,” Jacques Audiard’s wild Mexican musical starring Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldaña, and Édgar Ramírez.

Je viens de lire la bio de Patrick Edlinger, grimpeur célèbre, devenu quasi rock-star depuis le film "La vie au bout des doigts"
Autant j'ai apprécié le mec, que j'avais croisé à Fontainebleau, modeste, accessible, partageur, déconneur, autant son coté serial-baiseur, et sa passion pour les bagnoles de sport... ça m'a toujours fait douter de sa "philosophie de vie".

“There’s nothing more masculine than a strong man supporting a strong woman,” Eddie Vedder told a sold-out crowd during Pearl Jam’s Saturday night show in Las Vegas. Vedder was responding to the divisive speech given by NFL player Harrison Butker at Benedict College last weekend in which the placekicker said, among other things, “to be unapologetic in your masculinity.” Heavy.com has more, including the NSFW video of Vedder underscoring what he called “the irony” of Butker’s speech. https://flip.it/mvgJqd #Culture#Entertainment#Music#PearlJam#EddieVedder
George Lee gave up meat for 100 days after his grandfather died, per his native Taiwan, traditional Buddhist mourning ritual. It was then that Lee “started to feel something that anchored my interest in vegetarian cooking.” Today, Lee is a vegan chef, and Atlas Obscura talks to him about “A-Gong’s Table,” his new cookbook that explores the potential of plant-based foods. https://flip.it/GldfRg #Culture#Food#Foodstodon#Cooking#Thailand
