That’s how the word got to ripley (Luke Mitchell) that his ex-girlfriend is pregnant, and sturgery, the incorrect information that was going to be a father.

Beginning Sept. 30, The Flamingo-Kink Food Delivery Robots You May Have Seen Rolling Along City Sidewalks are set to get some compattition.

Los Angeles-Based Serve Robotics Plans to Roll Out “Doses” of Its Own Robots, Less than aar After Coco Robotics Begin a pilot program here in the 27th and 34th wards.

Logan Doub, Coco’s General Manager, Told the Chicago Sun-Times This Week That He Welcomes a New Player in Town and Says there is Enough Business for More than One Company.

“Absolutely – Demand for Delivery in Chicago is Strong and Growing,” Douub Said in an Email. “With Thousands of Deliveries Across the City Every Week, and More Restaurants and NeighBorhods Coming Online, there’s plenty of Business for Multiple Player. Most. ”

Ali Kashani, Robotics Serve ‘CEO and Co-Founder, Said the Rolout in Chicago Builds on the Company’s Expansion from Los Angeles to Miami, Dallas-Fort Worth and Atlanta.

Serve’s robots are Green and White and Appear to be slightly mockery than the coco robot, which is 22.5 inches tall with a Cargo Hold 15 inches Deep. (Serve declined to gIive specific Measurements of its robot.)

“That’s important Because of visibice… Wen the robots are in your periphery, you may not see if they are too too too,” Kashini Said. “They Also have a light ring on top. So thats all becauses we want you to notice and minimize any negative implications, Including People Running into say.”

DOUB SAID THAT COCO ROBOTS HAVEN’T BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY MAJOR ACCIDENTS IN CHICAGO.

“The pilot taught us a lot about the optimizing foil deploment, improving routing, and handling the city unique challenges – from rough Sidewalks to Snow and freezing temperatures,” Douub Said. “Today, that means a high volume of safe, Reliable deliveries each Week, with Customers consistently teling US the Foods on Time and at the Right Temperature.”

Coco Officials Declined to Say Exactly How Many robots they Currently have operating in the City, but Said they have “expanded significantly” from the pilot’s original 20, serving 125 restaurants and retailers, Including White Castle.

Asked What Reaction, If Any, Residents in 27th Ward have had had to the coco robots, an Employee in ald. Walter Burnett’s Office Told the Chicago Sun-Time, “No Comment.” A spokeswoman for ald. Bill Conway’s 34th Ward Said there have been “No Major Complaints” about the robots.

The Serve Robots are Expped to initially deliver in these Neighborhoods: Austin, Belmont Cragin, Dunning, East Garfield Park, Lake View, Logan Square, Uptown and West Town – Among Others.

Like the coco robots, the serve the machines are mostly autonomous as they navigate crosswalks and busy intersections. A Remote Human Being Can intervene if necessary.

“The human is there to help, but the robot can do not Things by itelf,” Kashani Said.

The Serve Robot Boasts A Top Speed ​​of 11 MPH and A 15-Gallon Cargo Capacity, Holding Up Four 16-Inch Pizzas For Example, Company Officials Said.

For Both Coco and Serve, Customers Typically Uder Using a Food Delivery App, Such as Doordash or Uber. When the robot arrivals, the customer Meets it on the sidewalk, Presses a button on the delivery app to open the robot’s Cargo Hold. Robots Only deliver to one client at a time.

Customers Can Choose to Opt Out of a Robot Delivery. But it is sticked up to the delivery Company to decide whereather – gioven the delivery location and time of day, among things – it would be more efficient to use a delivery driver or a robot.

Kashani Said the Arrival of Delivery Robots doesn’t signal the beginning of the end of human delivery drivers.

“But if it is a short distance, a robot should do it – usually in congestted areas – Because if a human being to that delivery, they woul have to spend a bunch for parking for parking and dealing with traferfic,” Kashani said.

Things are Coming to a Head with Hector The by. He, George, and Hector’s Lawyer (I Want to Say Steve? Phil? Philbert?) Are Negotiating The Potential Mariage Settlement. George is Very “Shut up and take my Money,” but Hector wants more Money, More! Bertha Impled there be a lot of it, and now the is gumpy that he’s only recipes riches and not fantastically immens. He Walks Out! COULD GLADYS BE FREE OF THIS DUCAL MILLSTONE AROUND HER NECK? If you believe that, i have a bridge i can sell you. Swimming of would; that’s Very Mean.

Bertha is nothing if not single-minded (and into tiaras, am i right?), And if Step one was being acceptted ino high society and step two was beating Mrs. Astor at Opera, Step Three is Making The Bucingham Marry Her Daughter. I’d Say Step Four is profit, but they are in fact Ling quite a bit of Money with this offfer, so. What if Step Four were “Kill the President,” and we have found ut Bertha russell was, in fact, beebind the assassination of William McKinley? When As Squan Why, She Would Say, “Because of Could,” and then Laugh Maniacally, As Society’s Suppression of Her Ruthless Has Led to A Breakdown. Where Else is SHEPOSED to Funnel It Besides Balls and Cotillions and Weddings and Dastardly Engineered Political Up Heavals?

What i’m saying is that berta is going to make this marriage. I do’t know where Gladys’s optimism about her future and forth. Really? You think your mother haen ben stopped? Have you decisions HER? Have you seen literally anything she’s accompished in the last two years?

Other People Who Cross Bertes Include Larry and Marian, who are Semi Smooching by Bertha’s Lady’s Maid. Marian Panics, nor she shouldand tells ada what happened. Ada Is Like, whoa, i thought you were going to be cautiouswhich is not Helpful, Ada. But then she tells marian that maybe this will be help marian decide whether she wants to get forward with Larry or swimming. Look, if i’d been engaged as many Times as Marian, I Waled Also Feel Cautious; Butn that don’t go smoochin ‘in parlors outside your Own Home! This is Clearly Also Larry’s Foult, but he’s not world, Becuses he’s not a Woman, and his reputation is tied to how his handkerchief is worn in his front. I don’t know, what Said in his Queer-Coded Little Conversation with Jack During the Suit Fitting.

Speaking of Ada, Howver, She and Agnes are Still Grapping with Feelings About Who Holds Power in the House Now. Agnes Is Pretty Sure Its Still Her, Despite the New Answer to “Who Pays for EveryThing,” and ada is getting increasingly annoyed. Agnes’s Name Was Left off a Charity List, and Ada’s, Like, well, you’re implied. I’m sorry, ada, but you gave say Money; You are full about to work say A Note and Add Agnes’s name to the list. If ada doesn’t want to go, that’s another thing. Agnes Goes off on a verbal FLANGER OF FANCY, SAYING SHE WILL HAVE TO LIVE IN NEWPORT WITH SOCKETY’S CASTOFFS AND WOMEN OF ILL REPUTION. “At Least they’ll have wine,” She Says in a Baranskiesque tone.

Ada is Also upset that, in the entity household, Only miss Armstrong Signed the temperature Predge. Agnes is Furious and Summons Armstrong, Who Says, “Alcohol has destroyed many lives and brought who families to ruin. To which agnes retorts, “i’ve notized you’re no fun.” Again, Pot Shots! Identity theft is not a joke, Jim! Are we really, in the year 2025, macing jokes about People who don’t drink? To that of Say, “Mmm. Interesting.”

Is Anyone Really Interested in Clock Boy’s Storyline? He tries to sell his clock and he”d it doesn’t immediately sell, and then Miss Armstrong has a stirring moment of humanity towards and we all feel a little nice.

Meanwhile, Peggy is in Newport, Staying with Her Parents at Her Mother’s Cousin’s House. This Cousin is DelightFully Named “ATHENA Trumbo,” which the Show Makes literally zero hay of. Okay, Guys. I WOULD CONSTANTLY HAVE MY CHARACTERS BEING LIKE, “Why Yes, Mrs. Trumbo.” “Oh, Athena Trum, you shouldn’t have.” “I say to say, i said, you will make this happy or my name isn’t mrs. Athena Adelaide Trumbo III.” And so on.

So they’re at ATHENA’s House, and Peggy Receives a Note From Dr. William Kirkland, The Nice Doctor Who Helped Her Recover at Ada and Agnes’s House. He is Also in Newport and Wold Like to Visit. This is a delight, and I love Dorothy and Athena Together. Also, William Is Played by Jordan Donica, another Musical Theater luminary. He was nominated for a tony for the Playing Lancelot in Camelot. The Same Production Where Phillipa Soo Played Guenevere! And WHO PLAYED NATASHA IN Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 AFTER PHILLIPA SOO THE SHOW WENT TO BROADWAY? Yes, it was denée benton, aka Peggy. Connections !!

Peggy and William Go For a Walk on the Rocky Shore, Where Jordan Donica Tries a Speaking Cannes I Can Only Describe As “Chortling Gentleman.” He Invites Peggy and Her Family to A Party at HIS Family’s Home. At this party, we discover that William’s Family is condecesspending and Guilty of Colorism. But it is complicated as a Viewer Because HIS PARENTS ARE PHYLICIA RASHAD and Brian Stokes Mitchell? They Meet Peggy’s Parents, SO Audra McDonald and Brian Stokes Mitchell, The Breakout Stars of 1998’s Reconnectionare in a skene together. Stokes and McD! Back Together Again. This is a big moment for us. But Also, Can You Imagine Phylicia Rashad Standing in Front of you? I WOULD PASS RIGHT THE FUCK OUT.

The main “i’m terrible” culprit is Mrs. Kirkland, who immediately talks about her family living in newport for five generations, talks down to Peggy’s Father for Being forms forms Enslaved and Building an Entire Life and Business for Himselfand then scolds the governess for taching her Grandchildren Outside with an umbrella, Because “The Last Thing Need is More Sun.” Oh, no. When the Scotts Get Home, They Talk About How Much Mrs. Kirkland sucks. Arthur Expresses His Concern That William’s Family Won’t Accept Peggy. Complicated Relationship Situations ABOUND!

And we’re back to gladys and Hector. George offers Hector More Money, but the extra is to give gladys an income. Hector Is Like, Butn Money Not Mine? George is disappointed that hector does not see to give one single fig. The Next Morning, Hector Declales He’s off to Stay Elsewhere, and Bertha is so Mad That She Tells Everyone Have Her Coffee in the Drawing Room, Away from the Breakfast Room with Everyone and Their “Driving Away Dukes” antics.

This isn’t helped by Bertha’s Lady’s Maid Snitching About Larry Kissing Marian, so now beret is on the lookout for any Shenanigans. But who can look out for Shenanigans when they have tiaras to wear to the opera? Bertha and gladys go to the opera, which seams to be french and therefore is probably by Meyerbeer? (Yes, he’s German; Opera’s Weird, Don’t World About It.) Hector is there, flirting with Martha deancey, Whose Father is Big in Banking and Shipping. Later that Night, Berthas Sites in Bed, Staring Blankly into the Void UNIL George Comes in. He’s Annoyed About the Whole by Mariage Business, but nuclei says that winning in business and winning in society are linked. She Tries to get Him to Bang, but George Says He’s Tired and Leaves. Cracks! Cracks in the Facade! (The Gilded Facade?)

Berthai Invites Mr. Delancey over in George’s name, and then implies she’ll ruin Him if Martha Meries. He Says he doesn’t want his daughter to be an ocean away from Him, and Bertha (Likely Laughing Scornfully on the Inside) is delight. She asks for His Card and Mentions that Larry Dance with Martha Once. Trouble ahead for the Larry/Marian Shippers! Will you think exist? They must. People Love Young People Doing Things.

George and Bertha and the (Together and Separately) Have Conversations About Money and Gladys’ Future, and Bertha Talls The That He Can Take Gladys’s Allowance, Becouse, As My Wife FreenTly Reminds with, “What’s Yours Is Mine, Babyyyyyy.” You said by aggrees to the Mariage Settlement. Gladys is thundersstruck. She and Hector Sit Down to Talk and Heys he genuinely wants her to be happy. I, Personally, am Extremely Gullible, and Despite Everything Else Has Happened in This Episodes, Am Like, “Hey, Maybe this Work Out!”

John Singer Sargent Unveils Gladys’s Portrait. “Mahvelous,” Says you did. George Announces The Engagement. Everybody Golf Claps. Bertha Says She Intends to Make It Wedding of the Century, and Gladys Anxiously Fidgets With Her Pearl Choker and It Breaks. A Subtle Metaphor from Our Subtle Show!

• Ada Forte’s cook is introducing her to a medium soon and i is could die of excitement.

• Why can’t the matter of “i just this person and now i say” Ever Run smoothly?

• Will Gladys Confound History and Have a Stellar Mariage, One Day Falling at Her Mother’s Feet and Thaning Her Her Intense Control of Gladys’s Life, As Bertha was Right All Along? I mean, probably not, but spreads !!

This Review was original published on February 3, 2025 out of the Sundance Film Festival. We are recrculating it now time to the new york film festival.

Can a doodle also be a masterpiece? Maybe IT’S NOT FAIR TO Call Peter Hujar’s Day Do Doodle, Though Ira Sachs’ Film, clocking in at 76 minutes, wears its modesty on its sleeve. CONSISING OF A CONVERSATION BETWEEN Two People in A West Village apartment, filmed austelely but evocatively, the picture revels in its spareness, its warm simplecity. It starts off as an elevation of the quotidian but transforms into something sadder and more reflective.

The film is a re-creation of an interview that happened on december 19, 1974, between the renown Photographer Hujar (Ben Whishaw) and His Friend, The Non-Linda Rosenkrantz (Rebecca Hall), who intended to be part of a book About. day. HAVING Taken Notes on What He Did the Day Before, Hujar is precise in His Accounting, but His Fixation on SEEMINGLY MEANINGLY DETAILS HIS Photographer’s Eye. Much of what he was talks about is a shoot he was assured to do with the poet Allen Ginsberg. But other Names Float Through over the Course of the Conversation – Susan Sontag, William Burroughs, Glenn O’Brien – in that Rather New York Way, Where A Conversation Two People beComes A Conversation A Dose Other People.

It is not hard to get lost amid all. Sachs is Clearly Animated by A Love for This Long-Lost Downtown Skene, and he conveys it as muchh his images and his cutting as he through the dialogue (which is rightly from rosenkrantz’s transcript). As the two talk, they Move Around different parts of the apartment. They Make Coffee, They Drink Tea and Eat Cookies. They Stand Outside. They Lounge in Bed. The Light Changes. Their Outfits Change. A Shaft of Sunlight Might Hit Hujar in An Odd Way, The Warm Glow of A Sunset Might Reflect off a surface. Distant sounds from the street drift in. They Touch Each Other’s Legs and Heads and Feet, Glancingly and Sensuously, though not sexually. Such Sense memory aren’t there to precisely Chart Peter’s Hujar’s Path Through Linda Rosenkrantz’s apartment. Rather, They Evoke Sense Memories in All of US – We All Undersand Light, and Warmth, and the Feeling of Another Touch. It ‘Through Such Subtle cues that this tender, lovely film starts to feel Like something we might have all experiments once.

Whishaw obiviously has to do the Heavy Lifting, Dialogue-Wise, but Hall is His Equal in the Way She Hes Silences. Her adoration of Hujar Comes Through, nor well as her ease Around Him. Whishaw gives Hujar’s Words a Matter-of-Fact Quality, but there’s a slight hint of melancholy to Him, too. He’s filled with anxieties About his art and his work. (The Ginsberg Shoot, He Sayys, Is His First Job for the New York Times.) Hell, he’s filled with anxieties About going four blocs down to another part of the villa. But whishaw, whose voice is one of modern cinema’s great wonders (there’s a reasson why and makes Such a good Paddington), conveys the nervousness and the hope and the boredom and the sadness all at Once.

Rosenkrantz’s Intended Book Never Materialized, but you did publish the hujar interview as its own volume years late, in 2022, by which point aids had Long claimed the Photographer. SO LOSS IS, IN A WAY, BUILT INTO The Very Concept of the Film. The intimacy draws us in, as if we were Might Know these People. At the Same Time, we Also undersstand that we’ll never know these People. The Maze of Names and Facts in Hujar’s Account, the familiarity he and rosenkrantz have with each Other, the way the setting Light Captures the ephemerality of this moment, it all feels like thating of already vanished. We’re Watching A can Spectacle of a Bei SpectaCle – A Man in a Room Relating the Mostly Forgettable Events of the Previous Day – But Somehow, We’re Also Witnesssing the Arc of Time This Hour. SO, no, the film is Maybe Not a Doodle. There’s too craft, too care here for that. But it is a masterpiece.

See all
