Meghan Markle's planned return to acting hit a wall before it started, royal biographer Tina Brown says the Duchess of Sussex was dropped from a Guy Ritchie Netflix series after British opposition made the casting "untenable." Brown, the former editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair and the New Yorker, wrote on her "Fresh Hell" Substack that the decision came swiftly. Just one day after reports surfaced that Markle was in early talks to join Season 3 of "The Gentlemen," the opportunity evaporated. Fox News Digital reported on the reversal, noting that neither Archewell, the Sussexes' organization, nor Brown had responded to requests for comment. The timeline was remarkably compressed. On Friday, word leaked that Markle was being considered for a…Open

AXIOS (Holly Otterbein) - 2028 Dems dodge on Bernie's push to pause AI development

Democratic presidential hopefuls are scrambling to seize on the growing public backlash against AI. But none will go as far as Bernie Sanders and his recent call to halt the technology's development. - Axios asked nearly 20 Democrats who are seen as potential White House contenders whether they support Sanders' call for AI CEOs to "stop building machines that humans cannot control." Only one directly answered the question. Why it matters: The politics of AI are changing as fast as the technology itself, and 2028 aspirants are struggling to articulate their vision on it — including how they'd manage its potentially catastrophic risks . - Some Democratic strategists fear the party will be caught flat-footed on the issue in 2028 as…
