If Trump played in the MLB, he'd hit 486 HRs *every season*. All of them grand slam and in the river.
His pitching line would be: ꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘꓘ.
Clemens, Ohtani, Judge would be his flunkies and brawl to hold up his spittoon.

“…this is the first AI film to demonstrate that AI can now sustain character consistency, world coherence, and narrative arc across a complete feature,” is roughly equivalent to “we made a car that actually has wheels and can take you somewhere.”
And it wasn’t in the festival, it just screening in the same town.

What a morning and long day it was last week! Was already out & about for 3 hours when I got to this place, earlier mostly taking hundreds of images of the nearby (~500m away) Breslauer Hut and vicinity during sunrise... The first large (and loud) group of people already got up at 4AM, getting ready for climbing Wildspitze, another group left an hour later, as did I. Maintenance/repair works on the hut continued at 08:30, taking lots more pictures to document, interviewin…

Photo of a high alpine landscape with three different valleys in bright hazy morning light. In the bottom left corner, still in the shade, a meandering creek is flowing down the rocky hanging valley formed by its former glacier. A small talus field in the sun, next to the path. Further in the distance much larger, deeper valleys, their floor occluded and only the upper sections illuminated. Glaciated peaks along the whole horizon, partially blanked out by intense bright light. Clear blue sky.
A small footpath, surrounded by talus fields, leading into the distance. Behind, on the other side of the invisible valley, some of the immense, imposing, glaciated peaks of the Kreuzkamm, specifically Talleitspitze (3406m) and Kreuzspitze (3455m). Not much is remaining of the formerly grand Eisferner in between these peaks. Clear blue sky.
