  • Andrew Schulz Shreds San Francisco, Nancy Pelosi

    Andrew Schulz says he didn't believe the media's portrayal of San Francisco. Surely a major American city can't be as filthy and out of control as the updates he sees on his smart phone and elsewhere. Exaggerations often camouflage the truth, and this could be yet another example, the 'Flagrant' podcaster figured. Call it Fake News on Steroids. And then he visited the California city for himself last month as part of his 'The Life' stand-up tour. Schulz posted a clip from that performance this...

  • The real Kerala story – without ‘love jihad’ fiction

    What is the real Kerala story?

Or maybe it’s the one about an impetuous young man and his “team” in a Christian community in Angamaly, which offers a glimpse into their life of petty crime and violence, with unforgettable depictions of the...

  • TCL's first original movie is an absurd-looking, AI-generated love story

    Many major tech companies, particularly those that operate in the TV hardware business, have dipped their toes into original content.

There's just one slight hitch: TCL is using generative AI to make original content for its platform, and early signs do not bode well....
