Wouldn’t it be easier for Harry to attend the film festival in Toronto for My Policeman due to proximity to NY then it would for him it travel to Venice for the other festival? I’m just thinking of logistics with all the NYC shows during that timeframe.

Hi sugar. So, here's what we have:

Harry's residency in New York August 21 - September 21

DWD at Venice Film Festival sometime in this window: Wednesday, August 31 – Saturday, September 10

Which leaves these dates for him to do promo in Venice for DWD: September 4 – 6

DWD comes out September 23, 2022 He would be available for promo in New York on September 22 - 23

My Policeman at Toronto Film Festival sometime in this window: September 8 – 18, 2022

Which leaves these dates for him to do promo in Toronto for MP: September 11 - 14 and 16 – 20

My Policeman comes out October 21, 2022 He has a significant amount of time off between his residency in Chicago and his residency in Los Angeles, and would be available October 15 – October 22.

Ayumi Shibata n.b.d

Japan

‘Forest of Harmony’ (section of installation) 2021

Handmade paper cut-out

Ayumi Shibata designs intricate landscapes using layers upon layers of white paper. Some of her sculptures are miniature, whereas others are immersive installations, and all are brought to life with the play of light and shadow, which create “movement” throughout her pieces. The works feature architectural domes, cave-like forests, and swirling suns hovering over tree-filled cities. These picturesque places aren’t based on a particular location but what the artist “hopes and believes the future of the planet could look like”.

Shibata’s ethereal landscapes envision a world in which humans and natural forms coexist, and she describes her pieces as having a “Yin and Yang” element. Paper represents Yin, the material, and the ways the works emit shadows correlates to Yang, the invisible world. “The light represents spirit and life, how the sun rises and breathes life into the world,” she explains. “I believe my pieces are a place to observe the material world and the visible one.”

The physical elements have a deeper meaning for the artist, as well: In Japanese, Kami means god or spirit but also paper, a sacred material in the Shinto religion. “Invisible ‘Kami’ spirits dwell in various objects and events, places, as well as in our houses and in our bodies,” she says. “I use my technique to express my thankfulness to the Kami spirits for having been born in this life. Each piece of paper I cut is a prayer.”

Education: 2012-15 -National Academy School of Fine Arts, NY, USA. Art Residency: 2015-17 -59 Rivoli, Paris, France

The tools also generate AI-written suggested responses to posts online, allowing users to flood the comments of pro-Palestinian posts with pro-Israel messaging.

Experts who study communication online say the widespread use of such tools influences the online discussion of the war and is ushering in a new era of citizen-led propaganda campaigns. But the use of the tools does not appear to violate platform rules against what’s known as “coordinated inauthentic behavior,” or posts that appear to come from unrelated individuals but are really the result of an organized effort, often through automated accounts.

“Working in an orchestrated fashion can be violative, but it quickly becomes a gray area, and that’s why these apps exist,” said Nora Benavidez, senior counsel and director of digital justice and civil rights at Free Press, a nonpartisan organization that lists its goals as protecting free expression and civil liberties.

Researchers say it is difficult to determine which comments have been generated by such tools because there’s no way to publicly track a user’s private activity across multiple apps. Social media companies would have to come up with ways to detect their use, which is challenging because the apps operate on their own platforms, not those of the social media companies. If the apps were automatically posting, they would likely violate rules against inauthentic activity. But third-party apps that simply encourage legitimate users to report posts escape that sanction.

There’s also no way to know with precision that actions taken against someone’s account or posts are in response to activity from these apps. Anecdotally, some users report that after their Instagram and TikTok posts were mentioned on the apps, the posts were either removed or heavily downranked, making them less accessible to a large audience.

Meta, which owns Instagram and Facebook, did not respond to a request for comment. TikTok also did not respond to requests for comment.

“I’ve had many posts taken down, I’d say upwards of 15 to 20 posts removed,” said Nys, a content creator who posts on TikTok under the handle @palestinianpr1ncess and spoke on the condition that she be referred to by first name only because she’s worried about repercussions when traveling to the West Bank. Nys said that each of her posts that has been surfaced on one of the apps has received a flood of pro-Israel, seemingly AI-generated comments. The post is also usually removed after many users report it for bullying or hate speech. “I’m not using hate speech,” Nys said. “I’m just doing commentary on everything happening in Palestine.”

Laura Chung, a content creator and podcaster, said that she believes a mass reporting campaign facilitated by one of the apps is what led to her TikTok account being removed in December. “I was creating pro-Palestine content for education purposes and I was going massively viral,” she said. “I believe it’s these apps that got me banned on TikTok.”

Joan Donovan, a noted disinformation expert who is an assistant professor of journalism at Boston University, said the apps are a new development in the propaganda battle being waged on the internet over Israel’s offensive in Gaza and that social media companies need to find ways to monitor their use.

“Social media is a terrain of warfare, not just for cyber troops, but also for citizen battalions armed with AI-enhanced bots and the ability to generate endless unique posts that evade current content moderation tools,” she said. “It is incumbent on tech companies to defend against such abuses.”

“This level of organization only exists on one side of the conflict,” said Emerson T. Brooking, a former cyber policy adviser to the Defense Department who studies disinformation and propaganda campaigns as a resident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab. “It exists for pro-Israel voices, and it exists because there are government ministries in Israel that support these tools and encourage their use.”

Brooking and other experts said they aren’t aware of any similar tools for Palestinian supporters.

A former Long Island high school volleyball coach accused of raping a teen player took his own life Friday when he stepped in front of a moving Long Island Rail Road train just hours after the disturbing allegations came to light, according to MTA officials.

Jason Maser, 22, was fatally hit by a train around 10:35 p.m. near the Syosset station after he “intentionally” walked onto the tracks at the Woodbury Road crossing, MTA Police Department spokesperson Michael Cortez said in a statement.

He was pronounced dead at the scene and it was determined that he left a suicide note behind, Cortez said.

The Syosset’s resident death comes as he was facing charges of third-degree rape and criminal sex act, Newsday reported. The former part-time coach at Sacred Heart Academy allegedly raped a 15-year-old girl at least twice while inside his Jeep on Feb. 7 and March 7, police and a criminal complaint reportedly alleged.

He was arraigned Friday morning as news broke about the sickening accusations against him and was later released on $75,000 bail, Newsday reported.

Maser’s lawyer, John Carman, declined comment when reached by The Post Sunday night.

But he told Newsday over the weekend Maser’s family was “devastated.”

“While they process what has occurred, they are concerned for the young woman involved,” he said.

Maser also previously coached at B&B Volleyball Club where the victim played as well, CBS 2 reported. The club cut ties with him when the organization became aware of the allegations.

Sacred Heart Academy, located in Hempstead, said in a statement following the charges that it also cut off Maser’s access to its facilities after it became aware of the alleged crimes, according to News 12.

“Sacred Heart Academy is firmly committed to our students’ safety and well-being,” the private Catholic school said.

“When Sacred Heart learned of the situation involving Jason Maser, Sacred Heart notified the appropriate authorities and offered all available resources to the family.”

Scott is known as a friendly and humble guy in the paddock who seems to get along with most drivers. He's got a playful personality. He likes to celebrate his wins with a "wombat roll", or doing a somersault in victory lane when he exits his car. While appearing in inflatable costumes and a pink "Glamping Squad" t-shirt in episodes of Bus Bros, Scotty still has fun without his partner-in-crime Josef Newgarden; he wore an inflatable Pikachu costume to a race in Australia during the 2022 IndyCar offseason, and his wife wore a matching Pikachu hoodie dress. Scotty might be the easygoing guy everyone wants to have a beer with off-track, but on track he is a fierce competitor. He and the Thirsty 3's (his #3 Penske squad) enjoy a cult following.

CAN YOU TELL ME EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT THE REYNOLDS AFFAIR AND PAMPHLET

I sure can.

First, I want to talk about Maria, because I think a great injustice is done to her in general.

Maria Lewis, which is what I will be calling her, was born in New York City on March 30, 1768. She was one of eleven children, six half siblings and five full. Maria grew up literate, but largely uneducated. She was married to James Reynolds when she was 15, on July 28, 1783. He had served in the revolution in the commissary department (which, if you know anything about the commissary, it was virtually useless), and was several years older than Maria. He was constantly asking the government for money. They had one child, Susan, born on August 18, 1785.

Before 1791, James Reynolds moved with his wife and child from NY to Philadelphia. In summer of 91, Maria visited Alexander Hamilton at his residence in Philadelphia asking for help because her abusive husband had abandoned her. Hamilton had the means to assist her in moving back to NYC, and arranged a later meeting to give her the money. He arrived at her boarding house, she brought him to her bedroom, and, according to him, “Some conversation ensued from which it was quickly apparent that other than pecuniary consolation would be acceptable.” She was 23 years old. He was 34.

The affair continued throughout the summer and fall of 1791 while Hamilton’s family was in Albany, NY. After a short while, Maria informed Hamilton that her husband sought reconciliation, and she agreed without ending the affair. She obtained an interview for Reynolds, in which he applied for a position in the Treasury, which Hamilton refused.

Hamilton exhibited that he wanted to end the affair on December 15, 1791, when Maria sent him a letter from Reynolds.

“I have not the time to tell you the cause of my present troubles; only that Mr. Reynolds has wrote you this morning and I know not whether you have got the letter or not and he had swore that if you do not answer, or if he does not see or hear from you today, he will write to Mrs. Hamilton. He has just gone out and I am alone. I think you had better come here one moment that you may know the cause, then you will the better kmow how to act. Oh, my God, I feel more for you than myself and wish I had never been born to give you so much unhappiness. Do not respond to him; not even a line. Come here soon. Do not send or leave any thing in his power.”

The affair ended for a time in December, but began again after Reynolds needed more money, and manipulated Maria into restarting the affair. Reynolds would write to Hamilton as a “friend”, and Hamilton would send $30. The last loan was in June 1792.

Reynolds was imprisoned for forgery in November of that year, and wrote to Hamilton for assistance, who denied all requests for money from both Reynolds and Maria.

James Monroe, Frederick Muhlenberg and Abraham Venable, rivals of Hamilton, visited Reynolds in jail after being made aware that he had contact with Hamilton by Reynolds’ partner in crime. Reynolds didn’t mention anything specific, but hinted at Hamilton’s public misconduct. The congressmen then interviewed Maria who maintained Reynolds’ accusation of speculation on Hamilton’s part.

James Callendar, a newspaper writer, also heard of this accusation, and published it in The History of the United States for 1796. Hamilton rebuked it with the Reynolds Pamphlet that cleared his name, but also placed the majority of the blame for the affair on Maria. It is likely that the events stated in the Pamphlet are accurate, however Hamilton phrased the narrative to make Maria appear as a villainous seductress, in order to keep public scrutiny away from himself. He would have known to do this, because it was the same thing his mother’s first husband did to his mother before his birth. These situations are very similar, however the consequences Rachel Faucette faced were much harsher, which is likely why Hamilton felt justified in mirroring Johann Lavien’s actions.

It is clear Maria is a victim in this circumstance, as she was very young, and was being emotionally, financially, and possibly physically abused by Reynolds. It is also likely that Reynolds threatened abuse to her daughter if she did not comply with his demands. She was publicly scorned after the Reynolds Pamphlet. Hamilton is not the victim.

In 1793, Maria Reynolds petitioned for a divorce with the assistance of Aaron Burr, who offered her and her daughter a place to live in order to fully escape Reynolds. Before the divorce was finalized, she went to live with Reynolds’ partner-in-crime, Jacob Clingman, whom she married in 1795. She settled in Alexandria, Virginia, then Britain after facing public scrutiny over the Pamphlet.

Maria became the housekeeper of Dr. Matthew. Peter Grotjan reported that he had met Maria, and she claimed to have written a pamphlet of her own with her side of the story. It was never published, and there is no other evidence of it’s existence. In 1800, Susan was sent to a Boston boarding school after Burr petitioned William Eustis to help her.

Maria married Dr. Matthew in 1806. Susan Reynolds came to live with her mother in 1808, and spent several years in Philadelphia. Susan was unhappily married several times. She had two daughters.

Maria Lewis died as Maria Matthew on March 25, 1828.

Hope this helps!
