Days after Ivanka, 44, boasted on a podcast about developing the Sazan Island into a private eco-resort with her husband, Jared Kushner, Daily Show anchor Michael Kosta played a clip from her interview and slow-clapped as he sarcastically said, “Let’s give it up for this couple.” “And for those of you who are thinking, hey, before buying a private island, shouldn’t billionaires maybe read the room?” Kosta said. “What you don’t understand is, the island doesn’t have rooms yet. They can’t lay the foundation for those rooms until they burn down all those stupid trees, okay?” Ivanka said on David Senra’s podcast Sunday that she and Kushner found the island while they …

“But the intensity [we need] I think they find it a four days ago. The players have to live it. I insist many times. Two or three months ago I said, ‘We play today to prove to ourselves this is how you have to play to arrive in the latter stages to compete against good teams’ because we have 60 or 70 per cent of new players this season. “In November, December, January we had to win those games but we had to play in the way to visualise and see, ‘Oh we can do things, be aware we can do it’. Otherwise it will just be the next step and next season we’ll be back and do it again but once we are here to have to prove ourselves at our best otherwise when you arrive in the semi finals or finals of the Champions League and you are not who you are it is more difficult. “You can be lucky yes – it’s not 38 games like the Premier League or La Liga …

At a time when so many forces seem to be dividing us as a nation, it is tragic that President Trump seeks to co-opt or destroy whatever remaining threads unite us. I refer, of course, to the U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team winning gold: the kind of victory that normally causes Americans to forget their differences and instead focus on something wholesome, like chanting “USA” while mispronouncing the names of the European players we defeated before taking on Canada. This should have been pure civic oxygen. Instead, we got video of Kash Patel pounding beers with the players — which is not illegal, but does make you wonder whether the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has a desk somewhere with neglected paperwork that might hold the answers to the D.B. Cooper mystery. Then came the presidential phone call to the men’s team, during which Trump joked about having to invite the women’s team to the State of the Union, too, or risk impeachment — the sort of sexist humor that lands best if …

Furious Protestor Tears AI-Generated Art Off Wall of Exhibit, Chews It Up Into Tiny Shreds Using His Teeth

The use of generative AI for creative purposes has spawned a major countermovement. From game developers reeling from a wave of criticism for using the tech to artists staging mass protests against AI, the backlash against what’s being hailed as a technological revolution grew massively last year. In a startlingly literal example of this growing fury, a University of Alaska Fairbanks undergraduate student was detained after ripping “artwork off the walls and eating it in a reported protest,” according to a university police department statement quoted by the school’s student newspaper, The Sun Star. The student, Graham Granger, was accused of chewing and spitting out small images that were pinned to the wall of a UAF art exhibit, which featured 160 AI-generated images by fine arts student Nick Dwyer. Photos taken by The Sun Star show crumpled-up pieces of paper strewn across a polished concrete floor. According to the police department, Granger chewed up at least 57 of the 160 images. As a result, the undergraduate student was arrested for “criminal mischief in the 5th …
