The Guide #178: How AI took over the commercial break

The Guide doesn’t tend to focus on adverts very often. We’re usually more interested in the popular culture those commercials are busy rudely interrupting. Besides, complaining about the most annoying ones – like the Confused.com ad where a succession of people squeeze the mouths into a disgusting O-shape and mime whistling for reasons unknown – only affords them the attention they crave. My primary life ambition is to live in a world where they stop making the Domino-hoo-hoo ads, so I’m hoping that ignoring them may help make that utopia a reality

Seth Meyers on Trump and Musk: ‘They’re trying to rip you off’

Late-night hosts took aim at Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s too-close relationship and how one is clearly in control of the other.On Late Night, Seth Meyers spoke about how voters have been most concerned about grocery prices yet Trump has been “easily distracted by silly stuff” and placed his attention elsewhere.This week saw him elected chair of the Kennedy Center, which led to Meyers joking that the next round of honors would include “Kid Rock, Lee Greenwood and Big Mouth Billy Bass”.It’s meant that he’s had less time to help Musk in his project of “dismantling the government”. Meyers joked that it’s “fun sometimes to pretend bad things might be good things”

The board then named Richard Grenell, who served as ambassador to Germany during the first Trump administration, as interim president.In response, several stars have disassociated from the center

‘A space for solace’: Stonehenge show explores attraction of stone circles

The hundreds of stone circles, great and small, that dot the UK countryside inspire awe but there may be a temptation to regard them as wondrous relics of a long-gone age.An exhibition at Britain’s most famous prehistoric site by three young artists makes the case that in these difficult times they are ever more relevant and important, drawing an increasing number of people of all ages and beliefs searching for connection, belonging and peace.The show, billed as the first major exhibition of new photographs hosted at Stonehenge, focuses not on the famed Wiltshire monument but on three lesser known stone circles in Dorset and Derbyshire.One of the artists whose work is being shown, Yuxi Hou, 20, who is based in Nottingham, said she believed stone circles were becoming ever more important for many people.“Stone circles bring people together,” she said

Seth Meyers on Musk and his agency’s corruption: ‘It’s so transparent’

Late-night hosts talked Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s bizarre Oval Office press conference and their dismantling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.Though Trump promised throughout his campaign to lower grocery prices as president, to date, “we still don’t have a plan for lowering eggs prices,” said Seth Meyers on Wednesday night. “But we do have a plan for building hotels in Gaza.”The Late Night host had a theory for why Trump remained so fixated on his “plan”, announced seemingly on a whim at a press conference, to expel Palestinians and build hotels: “It’s called the Gaza Strip, and the only other strip he knows is the Vegas Strip, so he thinks that can work there,” Meyers explained. “And if you think the people around him are going to say, ‘Actually, sir, it’s a different kind of strip,’ just remember that the people around him also suggest Red, White and Blueland” as an alternative name for Greenland
