Folktales review – taking on tyranny of social media as teens learn to live like hunter-gatherers

-
In this documentary, high schoolers camp out in subzero temperatures, making their own fires and driving sledges in the wild The Pasvik Folk high school in remote northern Norway teaches teenagers to grow as young adults and escape the pressures of toxic social media by challenging them to get back in touch with their “stone age brain” and live like hunter-gatherers in the snowy wild. This is the subject of a documentary from Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady. Over winter months of almost continuous darkness, the teens cleanse themselves with tasks such as camping out in subzero weather, making their own fires and driving sledges with huskies. Prior to all this of course is presumably a solemn promise to do without their phones, tablets and laptops, although there are no scenes of the kids actually having to surrender these gadgets (this isn’t rehab, after all). They have to swim in icy water; and they make it look like fun. What doesn’t look like fun is the camping out and there is one t...

Elon Musk Responds To Rumors That He Had An Affair With The Wife Of Google’s Founder Sergey Brin

-
Over the weekend, a genuine controversy broke out in the international media. The Wall Street Journal's reporters discovered that Elon Musk had a relationship with Nicole Shanahan, the wife of Sergey Brin, a friend of theirs. Insiders claim that the Google founder learned about his wife's adultery in December of this year. The pair also filed for divorce in January, claiming "unresolved issues" as justification. It was particularly ironic in this case as Sergey had once saved Elon's company from bankruptcy. After that, the billionaires grew close and frequently hung out with one another. According to rumors, Musk reportedly bowed down to plead for Brin's forgiveness once he learned about the affair. The two ex-friends, however, lost contact following this event. Elon, who meticulously reads every article about himself in the media, remained mute for a considerable amount of time. He ultimately chose to make a statement, though. The world's richest billionaire tweeted: "This is all pure nonsense. I'm friends with Sergey, and yesterday we attended a party together. Nicole, I've only recently seen a handful of times, and she was usually accompanied by others, the millionaire remarked. He also mentioned that he hadn't had any sexual activity recently. And everyone who uses the Internet knows that this is a blatant exaggeration. After all, Ilona has a number of young children. The social media site filed a lawsuit against him earlier this month after he declared he was abandoning his plan to acquire the company. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Mr. Musk has the largest estimated fortune in the world, which is more than $240 billion. Mr. Brin is the seventh richest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of $95 billion, based on the same index. Inquiries from the BBC for comments were not immediately answered by Ms. Shanahan, Mr. Brin, or Google.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
