Happy Tuesday! Today is 11/11, a series of numbers that many see as a symbol of spiritual awakening, synchronicity, and alignment with the universe. I'm not too superstitious about these things, but when I catch it, it brings a smile to my face. Is it divine intervention or coincidence? And does it matter? In thinking about alignment, it feels very apropos to be sharing this particular conversation today with self-described nerdy fangirls Adamma and Adanne Ebo, the identical twin powerhouse behind the indie breakout film Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. We met making this film back in 2021—I remember we were in prep when the Ebos were about to turn 30. The incredible ascension they've experienced over these last five years is the epitome of alignment and synchronicity. Shortly after wrapping Honk, Adamma was tapped to direct her first television episode on Donald Glover's Atlanta—the kind of opportunity that only comes when talent meets the right moment. Timing really is everything, and while their success is absolutely the product of talent, hard work, and vision, there's also been a beautiful alignment of opportunities, relationships, and moments that propelled them forward. Call it luck, call it the universe conspiring—either way, their story is inspiring. From their days at Spelman College to making their feature debut with Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul, they've blazed their own path in this industry. Honk premiered to critical acclaim at Sundance in 2022 and sold to Focus Features. The film stars Sterling K. Brown—who was also on the podcast this season with wonderful stories about working with the Ebos—and the incomparable Regina Hall, who delivers a masterclass performance as the first lady of a Southern megachurch. Since then, they've written and produced on some of the buzziest shows in recent TV: Peacock's Poker Face, Amazon's Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and Swarm. They're now a sought-after creative duo with an overall deal at Sony Television. Today we're diving into how they protected their artistic vision as first-time filmmakers, why confidence matters more than experience, and how their twin relationship became their secret weapon in Hollywood. xx cg AOP SUBSTACK

Die Assassinen sind zurück Assassin's Creed Shadows entführt dich in das faszinierende Japan des 16. Jahrhunderts – eine Welt voller Kontraste, in der Kirschblüten auf brutale Schattenkrieger treffen. Die Grafik ist atemberaubend: Sonnenstrahlen brechen durch Bambuswälder, detailreiche Städte erwachen zum Leben, und jeder Schwertstreich fühlt sich wuchtig und echt an. Die Atmosphäre ist dicht und eindringlich – mal still und lauernd, mal explosiv und voller Action. Ubisoft ist hier ein echtes Meisterwerk gelungen: Shadows vereint endlich wieder das Beste aus dem klassischen Assassin's Creed mit frischen Ideen und einer packenden Story. Schleichen, kämpfen, erkunden – alles greift perfekt ineinander. Es fühlt sich nicht nur wie ein echtes Assassin's Creed an – es ist eines der besten der Reihe. Wenn das Sammeln überhand nimmt… … versorgt es eventuell dein Haus mit Strom. Vor allem, wenn du alte Laptop Akkus sammelst. Ein Nutzer aus dem Second Life Storage Forum versagt sein Haus unterdessen komplett mit Solar und Batterien. Insgesamt sind über 1.000 Laptop Akkus, eine Gabelstapler Batterie und einiges mehr verbaut. Nicht für Jedermann aber ein guter Ansatz für die Wiederverwendung von Akkus. Willkommen im Paradise Die Serie Paradise auf Disney+ ist ein fesselnder Politthriller, der mit Spannung, Geheimnissen und einem beeindruckenden Soundtrack überzeugt. Im Mittelpunkt steht Secret-Service-Agent Xavier Collins (gespielt von Sterling K. Brown), der nach dem Mord an Präsident Cal Bradford (James Marsden) in einer unterirdischen Stadt namens Paradise ermittelt. Während er versucht, die Wahrheit aufzudecken, stößt er auf ein Netz aus Intrigen und Verrat, in dem niemand wirklich vertrauenswürdig erscheint. Die Serie besticht durch ihre dichte Atmosphäre und eine komplexe Handlung, die den Zuschauer von Anfang an in den Bann zieht. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der Soundtrack, komponiert von Siddhartha Khosla, der bereits für Serien wie This Is Us bekannt ist. Mit einer Mischung aus Originalkompositionen und neu interpretierten Klassikern wie „Another Day in Paradise“ und „Every Rose Has Its Thorn“ verstärkt die Musik die emotionale Tiefe der Serie und unterstreicht die dramatischen Wendungen. Paradise ist nicht nur ein spannender Thriller, sondern auch ein emotionales Drama, das aktuelle gesellschaftliche Themen aufgreift und den Zuschauer zum Nachdenken anregt. Für Fans von intelligenten, vielschichtigen Serien ist Paradise ein absolutes Muss. Spooky Überwachungsansatz Wlan sind ja Wellen. Elektromagnetische Wellen… die sich unterschiedlich verhalten, je nachdem auf was für Materialien sie treffen. Und das habe sich Forscher zu Nutze gemacht, um damit den Raum zu kartografieren. Und auch die softeren Materialien, die sich darin bewegen… Eine nette Zusammenfassung gibt es auf TikTok. Nerdcorerap Uns hat Atrax Mors, ein Rapper aus Offenbach, kontaktiert: RetroGames in Verbindung mit Rap?! Da sind wir, speziell Matze dabei. Wir stellen Euch den Track Hadouken! vor, Kenner wissen, dass das der Schrei von Ryu aus Street Fighter 2 ist. Man lebt nur unendlich mal Mickey 17 ist ein wildes Sci-Fi-Abenteuer voller bizarrer Ideen, schrägem Humor und visueller Wucht. Der Film sprengt Konventionen und erzählt die Geschichte eines „austauschbaren“ Mannes, der immer wieder geklont wird – mit jeder Version ein bisschen rebellischer. Regisseur Bong Joon-ho (Parasite) liefert erneut einen Film, der zwischen Genialität und Wahnsinn pendelt. Mickey 17 ist nicht nur originell, sondern herrlich durchgeknallt – eine Mischung aus Sci-Fi, Satire und Existenzkrise, wie du sie garantiert noch nie gesehen hast. Wenn OpenSource nach Hinten losgeht Cudos für alle, die ihre Software als OpenSource Variante und dazu noch frei von Lizenzen zur Verfügung stellen. Umso ärgerlicher ist es, wenn sich die dann auf einmal in einer Militärischen Nutzung wiederfinden. So wohl passiert mit Metas Ollama (Large Language Model Meta AI), das die mal eben genau für den Zweck genutzt haben. Ein produktiver Einsatz ist allerdings noch nicht bestätigt. Meta will dagegen vorgehen. Alexa kann immer noch nicht mehr Trotz des neuen Alexa+ Abos bleibt der erhoffte Fortschritt aus: Der Sprachassistent ist immer noch kaum smarter als zuvor. Fragen werden oft ungenau oder gar nicht beantwortet, und echte Konversationen scheitern schnell an den altbekannten Grenzen. Alexa+ wirkt eher wie ein kosmetisches Upgrade – mehr Schein als Verbesserung. Wer auf eine spürbar klügere, intuitivere Assistenz gehofft hat, wird leider enttäuscht. Mehr und mehr Brillen kommen auf den Markt Während es lange zeit gar keine vernünftigen AR Brillen gab kommen jetzt gefühlt immer mehr mit immer anderen Ansätzen. Klar, es gibt die VR Brille von Meta und Co, es gibt „Kinobrillen“ aber eben auch andere Konzepte. Die Goovis ART orientiert sich eher an dem Konzept Kinobrille und zaubert euch einen 100″ Bildschirm vor die Augen. Das besondere dabei: Sie ist faltbar, hat nur 110g und will die Umgebung gar nicht ausblenden. Der Hersteller hat mehrere Brillen im Angebot.

"Roots," which debuted in 1977 and had several spinoffs, is the most notable dramatic miniseries to tackle the topic of slavery. Now, Hulu hopes for similar success with "Washington Black," a drama based on the novel of the same name that traces the life of a boy from Barbados to Nova Scotia in the 1800s. "This is Us" star Sterling K. Brown is a producer on the project and also co-stars as Medwin Harris. Ernest Kingsley Jr. plays George Washington Black, while Eddie Karanja plays the younger version of the character. In this episode, here from Kranja, who recently spoke with co-host Bruce Miller. We also chat about a new reality show "Back to the Frontier" as well as briefly discuss Universal's disappointing new theme park.

For Sterling K. Brown, part of the appeal of producing and starring in Hulu's Washington Black (July 23) was mentoring Ernest Kingsley Jr., the young actor playing the title character. “If I'm in a position where I can help somebody get an opportunity to do it, that means a lot to me, because your legacy isn't just the work that you do, it's the opportunities that you create for other people,” Brown said. Based on the bestselling novel, Kingsley plays George Washington “Wash” Black, a young boy who escapes slavery and, through his scientific mind, sets off an unexpected adventure. Brown plays Medwin, whose life intersects with Wash. “It seems most Black stories that are for mainstream consumption have to do with Black pain, have to do with Black trauma,” Brown said. “So I thought, how awesome would it be to take this historical context but to still illuminate, [and] highlight, joy, hope, faith, love, etc.” And for Kingsley, the story has broad appeal—“that universal story of us going through that harrowing narrative and pain in our past and triumphing over it.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
