Christopher Nolan on why he barely uses a smartphone. Nolan: “I don’t have a smartphone. I have a flip phone.” He explains he deliberately avoids smart devices to protect his thinking time and focus. Nolan: “The danger is you just fill every single moment with something. I like having time where I’m not stimulated by a device. I think it’s important for thinking.” The man who makes 3-hour mind-bending movies chooses to stay disconnected on purpose. Absolute legend behavior. Save this.

Tom Holland has worked with Christopher Nolan, Ron Howard and James Gray before turning 30. His director list outside Spider-Man has quietly assembled a filmography most young actors would need decades to match. I’m sure he’ll become a top director himself

Talent!!! Woo used to be a shortstop— still has an effective backhand flip. Emerson Hancock kind enough enough to join our broadcast— and he shows incredible focus as he is pelted with an entire bag of seeds!

Aaron Paul is a full-on Light Phone guy. I talked with him and kai last night. Great combo. Me: buys and tests every new gadget. Aaron: no computer, uses a Light Phone and only uses his iPhone sparingly. Made for a fun conversation.

According to this research, President Trump rarely opens his Apple computer. Friends say he doesn’t surf the Web, preferring to read print newspapers, and he keeps stacks of magazines on his desk. Aides say they have never received an email or text message from him. Trump’s strange analysis this week of the Russian hacking scandal — “computers have complicated lives very greatly” and “nobody knows exactly what is going on” — sounded wildly out of sync with the tech-obsessed culture that Trump has so expertly tapped into through Twitter. When conservative commentator Erick Erickson wrote a column last December that pleased Trump, he wanted to send Erickson an email. So Trump scribbled a note with a black Sharpie and had his assistant make a digital scan of the note and email it to Erickson. “ He’s the only one who’s ever sent me an email like that, ” Erickson said, laughing. “ He considers email a distraction Roger Stone, a longtime Trump friend, said he knows to send emails to one of Trump’s assistants, who download them for him. Memos can be faxed, he said. But Trump wants to talk by phone, often sitting up into the wee hours dialing business associates or campaign aides. Trump told Erickson and others that email is a problem because people waste their day on it and it only opens them up to trouble. He has talked to aides and friends about business executives who were damaged by emails at trials and other politicians, like Hillary Clinton, Anthony Weiner and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, who have brought themselves trouble via email.

Despite being a former Prime Minister, Imran Khan has been deprived of all basic facilities in Adiala Jail. His sister Aleema Khanum said he has never complained about his conditions. He has only requested books and phone calls with his children, which this General Asim Munir’s regime has deprived him of to torture him. #FreeImranKhan
