Al Pacino is an acclaimed American actor known for his intense performances and wide emotional range. Emerging from the New York theater scene in the late nineteen sixties, he gained international fame with his role as Michael Corleone in The Godfather. His career spans decades of celebrated work in film and theater, marked by a gift for portraying morally complex characters and an ability to command attention even in quiet moments. Pacino has earned numerous awards, including an Academy Award for Scent of a Woman, and remains a major influence on modern acting.

Pacino’s style blends classical stage technique with a raw emotional energy that feels deeply authentic. He is known for expressive vocal delivery, piercing focus, and physical choices that reveal the inner life of his characters. His approach often balances explosive passion with controlled restraint, creating performances that feel both unpredictable and carefully crafted. This distinctive presence has made him a defining figure in cinematic acting and a model for many performers who seek to combine craft with intensity.

Demi Moore performing one handed push ups on The David Letterman Show in 1996. At the time she was promoting her film G.I. Jane, a role that required intense physical training and a dramatic transformation.

Her appearance on the show became memorable because she demonstrated the strength she had built for the film, surprising both Letterman and the studio audience.

The moment has since been revisited online as an example of her dedication to the role and her commitment to doing much of the demanding physical work herself.

It also reflected the larger conversation at the time about women in action films and the effort needed to portray military training in a believable way.

Turns out we have a surprising amount to learn from our logs.

Throne is an Austin-based health startup. It sells a camera. That clips onto the side of a toilet bowl. It takes pictures of your poop.

Throne calls its underlying technology “artificial gut intelligence.” That AI is “trained by physicians to help you understand what your waste is trying to tell you about your health,” per the company. The doctors are looking for various signs of health found in waste matter, including “nuances” in urine to determine hydration levels.

The company is quick to note that the images are “anonymized.” “We only capture images of the contents of your toilet bowl,” Throne writes. “Any other data is irrelevant to our mission and could compromise our ability to provide accurate health insights. We use image recognition technology to automatically delete any non-relevant images. This ensures that only toilet-related data is retained.”

✍ After experimenting with more than a thousand prompts, a tech lead discovered six key patterns that consistently produced better outcomes and created a framework called “KERNEL.”

Each letter represents a principle for effective prompting: Keep it simple, Easy to verify, Reproducible results, Narrow scope, Explicit constraints, and Logical structure.

When tested on models such as GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, and LLaMA, it increased first-attempt success to 94 percent while reducing token usage, time, and revisions by over half.

The team now applies KERNEL in production, doubling the speed of AI-assisted development and demonstrating that a well-structured prompt can perform as efficiently as well-written code.

Treat this watchlist like a private masterclass in how people actually climb into the 1%

From The Wolf of Wall Street and The Big Short to The Social Network and Margin Call, this lineup is basically a crash course in how money, risk, and ambition behave in real life. You watch founders, traders, sales teams, and strivers win or blow themselves up in real time, which trains your eye for leverage, incentives, and what chasing the 1% really costs.

Watch these as case studies, not comfort movies, and you start copying the mindset instead of just the quotes.

The @belmondandeanexplorer is a luxury train that winds through some of the most breathtaking scenery in Peru — every window feels like a moving postcard. It’s the kind of setting that begs for a brand to shoot a full lookbook or campaign onboard.

Saudi Arabia just unveiled Dream of the Desert, its first-ever luxury sleeper train, scheduled to roll out in 2026. Designed around the idea of unhurried exploration, the route drifts from Riyadh through vast canyons, sweeping dunes, and UNESCO-protected landscapes — all at a gentle, scenic pace.

On board, travelers can expect private suites, refined dining, and lounge spaces made for watching the desert shift from day to night. The interiors blend contemporary elegance with classic Arabian design, creating a space that feels both new and deeply rooted in tradition.

It’s a major move in the country’s push to reimagine travel in the region.. Not by getting you somewhere faster, but by making the journey itself the highlight.
