• 2021 May 9, J. D. Connor, "Put Some
'Mank' on It E", in Los Angeles Review of Books:
When it works well, Mank feels like the inheritance and renovation of a range of
craft competencies and attentions. And when it does not work well, it is the classical Hollywood nerd's version of Glup Shitto. "OMG Ben Hecht is back!"
Sometimes it does both at once.

The relevant portion:
To endow the writer publicly with a good fleshly body, to reveal that he likes dry white wine and underdone steak, is to make even more miraculous for me, and of a more divine essence, the products of his art. Far from the details of his daily life bringing nearer to me the nature of his inspiration and making it clearer, it is the whole mythical singularity of his condition which the writer emphasizes by such confidences. For I cannot but ascribe to some superhumanity the existence of beings vast enough to wear blue pyjamas at the very moment when they manifest themselves as universal conscience, or else make a profession of liking reblochon with that same voice with which they announce their forthcoming Phenomenology of the Ego. The spectacular alliance of so much nobility and so much futility means that one still believes in the contradiction: since it is totally miraculous, each of its terms is miraculous too; it would obviously lose all interest in a world

Evans thought of the falling barometer and the stormy sky. For some reason, as he thought, the word "avunculus" kept going through his head. He had no idea what it meant but he must have heard or read it somewhere. The desire to say the word was almost overpowering. Softly he muttered to himself, "avunculus."
"What was that?" asked Bervick who, sitting nearest him, had heard.
"Nothing, I was thinking, that's all."

That was the initial appeal to most CAA clients who took advantage of this service, according to Shannon: “They have really been the ones that were most scared of the technology and wanted to solely think about this as a protective measure, because now they own their assets. Anyone who chooses to do anything other than work with their own assets would be infringing on their rights.” But over the last year, there’s been more interest in its innovative possibilities. This, by the way, is how the final season of the HBO series The Comeback ends: with Valerie Cherish (Lisa Kurdrow) coming to terms with her AI replica making additional seasons of a bad sitcom, while the real Valerie gets to do more fulfilling work on another series.

RBFA STATEMENT
The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) is astonished by FIFA's decision to declare suspended United States player Folarin Balogun eligible to play in the USA-Belgium match on Monday, 6 July at 5:00 p.m. (Seattle time).
FIFA bases its decision on Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code. This provision states that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee may decide to suspend the enforcement of a previously imposed disciplinary sanction.
However, Article 66.4 of the same FIFA Disciplinary Code clearly provides that a red card (sending-off) automatically results in a suspension for the team's next match, as has been the case for all previous red cards issued during this FIFA World Cup.
Furthermore, and irrespective of the above, the decision is in direct contradiction with the provisions of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Competition Regulations, as set out in Article 10.5:
"If a player or team official is sent off as a result of a direct or indirect red card (second caution), they will automatically be suspended from their team's subsequent match. In addition, further sanctions may be imposed." The automatic nature of such a suspension was also explicitly reaffirmed in FIFA World Cup 2026 Circular No. 16, which was distributed to all participating member associations on 12 May 2026.
The same rule is reiterated at every FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Coordination Meeting prior to each match and is included in all FIFA World Cup 2026 workshop presentations.
In order to safeguard the legitimate rights of all participating teams and to protect the fundamental principles of fair play in our sport, both at this FIFA World Cup and at future editions of the tournament, the RBFA is investigating all potential options.
