Last December Disney bet $1B that AI could replace the filmmaker. By March the bet was dead. Then Google put $75M into A24 to build tools with filmmakers. Same tech, opposite thesis. The winning tool isn't the one that replaces the artist. It's the one they reach for.

Kimi Antonelli, 19, just won Spa. That's his 6th win of 2026, at every kind of track: street, classic, high-speed. Rookie year: 0 wins. Year two: 45-pt title lead, 50 clear of Russell in the same car. Best team? Sure. But that growth curve is the scary. He turns 20 next month 🚀

Here are some new aerial photographs from Chicago. The city never fails to impress, from its striking skyline to the intricate geometry of its streets and reflections along Lake Michigan. Truly one of the most beautiful skylines in America.

Woke up at 4 a.m., hiked up, and caught the full moon saying goodbye to Los Angeles. Worth every step, every yawn, and every goosebump. 🌕🏙️
