Bill Hader se ríe casi de inmediato, con la presentación enérgica pero apática de Glick al miembro del elenco de SNL. Pero sólo dos minutos después, Hader pierde completamente el control, cuando Gleick explica lo que imagina el creador y productor ejecutivo de SNL, Lorne Michaels (¿Quién puede estar a punto de jubilarse?) Debería oler. Es el tipo de risa real y honesta que te encanta ver a los comediantes, porque sabes que es real. Y esta tampoco es la última vez. Hader puede reírse más que cualquier otro tema de entrevista que Glick haya concedido a lo largo de los años; Está completamente riendo a carcajadas.
Es sorprendente que Jiminy Glick también sea tan atemporal, a pesar de que todas sus referencias a la cultura pop parecen obsoletas. Después de todo, como Gleick le explicó a Hader entre risas, todavía tiene una disputa con HBO por la cancelación de Arli$$, la serie de comedia protagonizada por Robert Wohl que se emitió de 1996 a 2002. Por supuesto, estas referencias nunca duran más de una fracción de segundo. , porque la mente de Glick se mueve a una velocidad vertiginosa y nos estrellamos en la siguiente secuencia sin espacio para respirar. “Willie Mays acaba de morir”. Y ahora estoy muerta de risa.
Este es el tipo de material que desea tener para ayudar a promocionar una próxima película o programa de televisión, porque contiene una sátira aguda. Burlarse de algo tan intrínsecamente tonto como la alfombra roja todavía requiere algo más que un simple truco patético que haga reír a los adolescentes durante unos segundos mientras chupan vaporizadores y mastican Peelerz (dulces de goma). TikTok se ha vuelto muy popular, búscalo.) Martin Short es una leyenda de la comedia, y este tipo de risa sincera parece fácil, aunque es el resultado de mucha escritura, entrenamiento y experiencia.
Entonces, los estudios dejan de lanzar a los niños de TikTok a la alfombra roja para promocionar sus películas o programas de televisión. Consiga a Jiminy Glick o consiga un periodista profesional que sepa lo que está haciendo. Si desea escuchar más elogios para Jiminy Glick, escuche el último episodio del podcast /Film Daily a continuación:
Martin Short es presentador invitado de “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Esta semana, Jiminy Glick será invitado al programa el jueves 27 de junio de 2024.
LG launched a separate laptop in its Gram lineup called the LG Gram SuperSlim, which borrows heavily from the adjacent 2023 LG Gram Style model in terms of its looks. However, the latter was a disappointment in terms of performance, despite my loving the extremely thin and light chassis and aesthetically pleasing design.
So color me suspicious about the SuperSlim and whether it could impress me. What I’ve found is a mixed bag, with middling benchmark results and surprisingly solid productivity performance that could rival even the best laptops. However, some drawbacks still hold this laptop back.
At first glance, the SuperSlim is in a less impressive black color than its counterpart, but it makes up for that by its 15.6-inch weight and measurements beating out the 16-inch sizes of the Style and matching the 14-inch version. The result is an absolutely dreamy lightweight and razor-thin chassis and, unlike the Style, it doesn’t have that cheap plastic feel to it.
There’s still a slight wobble to the hinge but all around it feels far more stable and solid, with a superior build quality. I also enjoy the material of the chassis, which has a more textured feel to it.
Ventilation has much improved, with the laptop staying cool even during heavy workloads, which is another improvement over the Slim, which suffered from overheating issues. LG seems to have addressed many build issues between these two laptops.

The keyboard still features snappy and responsive keys, which are nice and wide and perfect for a variety of finger sizes to type on with little chance for typos. Thankfully the touchpad has been restored to a much more standard one, and it’s perfectly responsive, unlike the haptic feedback nightmare on the Style.

The display’s resolution did take a hit compared to the Style’s 2.8 or 3K, as the SuperSlim is now FHD. It still thankfully retains the OLED screen and supports HDR, giving the display that sharp and bright look.
The webcam is pretty standard, which is to say not particularly great but is fine for conference calls. The sound quality is quite solid, able to differentiate between various instruments as well as reproduce a deep bass. Its volume is also a noticeable improvement from the Style, as it can get pretty loud without losing too much in quality.
LG Gram SuperSlim: Benchmarks
Here’s how the LG Gram SuperSlim performed in our suite of benchmark tests:
3DMark: Night Raid: 16,447; Fire Strike: 4,842; Time Spy: 1,778 Cinebench R23 Multi-core: 8,275 points GeekBench 5: 1,842 (single-core); 9,783 (multi-core) PCMark 10 (Home Test): 5,495 points Battery Life (TechRadar movie test): 14 hours, 55 minutes Civilization VI (1080p, Ultra): 42 fps; (1080p, Low): 25 fps
Though on paper through benchmark tests its performance is about the same as the Gram Style, in practice it functions much better. Productivity-wise, it’s capable of having tons of tabs open for both work and play including video conference meetings, word-processing documents and spreadsheets, video streaming, and more. Unfortunately, that means its CPU benchmarks are still below that of other similar Ultrabooks.
(Image credit: Future / John Loeffler)
The LG Gram SuperSlim is made for office work and casual use through and through with almost no heavy-duty gaming capabilities. It’s all thanks to the bog-standard mobile GPU, which is rather offensive considering the steep price of the machine.
Other laptops for a similar price are equipped with a proper gaming GPU, so why LG refuses to make the upgrade is mind-boggling. Even a laptop like the Dell XPS 17 (2024) has better specs for a similar price point, and the Apple MacBook Air 15-inch (2023) doesn’t have a gaming GPU but the M3 chip is far superior to Intel’s silicon.
By far the biggest improvement over the Style is its extraordinary battery power, though, which gets close to rivaling even the best MacBook and best MacBook Pro models. During our battery tests, it was even able to last around 15 hours and that was under the stress of constant movie playing.
All in all, the LG Gram SuperSlim is something of a mixed bag, with some fantastic performance in terms of productivity and battery life, but don’t expect much more from it than that.
LG Gram SuperSlim: Price & availability
How much does it cost? $1,649 / £1,299 (about AU$2,530)
When is it available? Available now
Where can you get it? Available in the US and UK
The LG Gram SuperSlim is an Ultrabook is currently retailing at $1,649 / £1,299 (about AU$2,530), with availability in both the US and the UK. Unfortunately, this particular model has been discontinued in Australia, so buyers out there would have to import it, making it even more expensive.
As for pricing itself, while it’s overall a superior model to the Style with some much-needed changes and enhancements, it’s still a hard sell compared to other similarly priced products like the Dell XPS 17 (2024) and the Apple MacBook Air 15-inch with M3, which both boast more well-rounded usage and better specs.
Unless the price drops down significantly, it would be difficult to make the SuperSlim more appealing to buyers. This is a shame since it does have a great niche as an incredibly portable laptop that works for offices and during commutes and events. If you can buy this laptop with a decent discount, then it’s definitely worth considering.
LG Gram SuperSlim: Specs
As of now, the only model available in both the US and UK is this setup: Intel Core i7-1360P CPU, Intel Iris Xe Graphics, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD of storage. There’s also no way to customize or upgrade the SuperSlim either.

LG Gram SuperSlim: Also consider
If my LG Gram SuperSlim review has you considering other options, here are two more laptops to consider…
How I tested the LG Gram SuperSlim?
I tested the LG Gram SuperSlim for several weeks
I tested it using productivity and creative applications, as well as gaming
I stress-tested the battery using the TechRadar movie test
First, I tested the general weight and portability of the LG Gram SuperSlim by carrying it around in a laptop bag. After I set it up, I ran several benchmarks to thoroughly test out the processor and graphics card. Finally, I used a variety of programs and applications to test out both battery life and general performance during work-like conditions, as well as gaming benchmarks to test the RTX 4050 GPU.
The LG Gram SuperSlim is meant to be a portable laptop with a thin and light chassis. I had to spend a good amount of testing not only on performance issues but also looking for any ventilation issues. I also tested out battery life to see how long it could last off AC power.
I’ve tested plenty of gaming PCs and laptops, making me more than qualified to understand benchmark test results and how to properly stress test machines to see how well they perform as a work machine.
Apple is ready to launch its new flagship iPads, and the company has teased its next launch event for May 7. That’s when Apple’s new OLED-equipped iPad Pros will likely be unveiled, but one of those iPads could be in short supply due to Samsung.
Apple’s OLED 11-inch iPad Pro could face shortages
Apple is expected to launch two versions of the iPad Pro, one with an 11-inch OLED screen and the other with a 12.9-inch OLED screen. The 11-inch variant reportedly uses LG Display’s and Samsung Display’s OLED panels, while the 12.9-inch variant exclusively uses LG Display’s OLED panel. However, according to industry insider Ross Young (via 9To5Mac), the shipments of the 12.9-inch OLED iPad Pro seem to be higher than those of the 11-inch variant.
Ross Young claims that Samsung has been facing technical challenges in producing 11-inch OLED panels for new iPad Pros. He also claims that this situation could persist throughout May and affect the availability of the upcoming iPad Pro. A 9To5Mac report claimed that drivers found in iPadOS 17.5 reveal that the upcoming iPad Pros use display panels from LG and Samsung.
Previous reports claim that upcoming iPad Pro models from Apple use a completely new type of OLED panel. It is called a two-stack tandem OLED panel with two emissive layers. Such a panel is said to offer longer life, higher brightness, and a lower chance of pixel burn-in.
The mix of content makes for a podcast that should satisfy even the pickiest of listeners. New episodes arrive every other week. There are also transcripts available so your kids can read along while listening to improve literacy.
Story Seeds is a relatively new podcast, and it’s a bit different from the others; rather than a story, it’s a meta view of how to create a story.
Each episode pairs a kid (age 6-12) with a children’s book author. They meet up in person and collaborate to write original stories that start out with the kid’s idea (the “seed” in the name). It’s not updated as frequently as some of the rest of these, but there’s over two dozen episodes available.
This Australian podcast is devoted to showcasing true stories of Australian women. From athletes to spies, Fierce Girls often promotes a unifying theme of adventurous girls with “guts and spirit.” While the stories are all appropriate for kids and not graphic, the hosts don’t shy away from telling stories as they happen. In some cases, you might want to listen first to make sure a story is appropriate for your children’s maturity level. That said, our 9-year-old twins love them.
This podcast is episodic readings of classic children’s books, making it somewhere between a podcast and an audiobook. It covers a variety of books from shorter, single-episode tales for younger kids to longer-form, multi-episode readings. The nice thing about this one is there’s something for just about everyone. My only complaint is that some of these are very short, most of them are under 5 minutes. All episodes are ad-free, but you will need a Spotify account to listen.
Offering a mix of classic stories like those of Beatrix Potter and lesser-known content, Planet Storytime aims for that mix of entertainment and education Fred Rogers perfected. It releases new episodes every Thursday.
One really nice feature that sets this podcast apart is that at the end of each month, there’s one long episode with an entire month’s worth of content—perfect for getting an hour or so to yourself.
This science podcast is aimed at kids, though I’ll be honest, I’ve learned plenty from it as well. Brains On is educational—just don’t tell your kids that. They’ll love learning how insects walk on walls, how to find their way without a compass, and even where poo and pee go when you flush the toilet.
There’s a series called “Smash Boom Best” in which two things are pitted against each other, and your kid can pick their favorite. For example, Loki was recently pitted against Athena. This podcast is probably best suited for slightly older kids.
The Warrior Kid Podcast is not for everyone, but my kids really like the question-and-answer format of this podcast, which is based on the books of the same name. The author of the books and host of the show is Jocko Willink, a decorated, retired Navy SEAL officer and leadership guru. Here Willink stands in for the character of Uncle Jake in Willink’s Warrior Kid book series, answering kids’ questions about everything from how to avoid eating candy to what it takes to be a Navy Seal.
Willink places a worthwhile emphasis on physical activity, mental sharpness, diet (encouraging kids to develop healthy eating habits), and hard work. The latter forms the core of the message in this podcast: Work hard, train in jiujitsu, and you will eventually succeed. This one is targeting slightly older kids, probably best for ages 8 and up. One special note: Willink has another podcast, Jocko Podcast, that is most definitely not for children.
A production of Anorak Kids Magazine, The Happy Podcast for Kids is educational and entertaining, and it works well for the whole family, since there are plenty of stories that will entertain adults as well kids. Much of the content explores themes similar to Anorak’s magazines, so if something really catches your child’s interest, you can order the relevant issue. Themes include everything from sea life to imagination to linguistics. Guests cover a similarly wide-ranging spectrum with everything from scuba divers to ice cream makers. While this one is fine for the whole family, given the level of detail and episode length (around 30 minutes), you might have to take breaks with younger children with shorter attention spans.
Another NPR podcast, But Why aims to answer kid questions about everything from nature, politics, culture, science, even the end of the world. Your kids can submit their own questions too; instructions are on the website.
Because But Why covers a wide range of topics, I tend to help out more with it. Many episodes are best suited to slightly older kids. My kids (7 and 5) were not about to sit through an episode on what happens when a president is impeached, for example, but they did enjoy an episode on how we taste food.
One of the few podcasts on this list that was created by a kid, Aaron’s World is a 50-episode audio-drama following the adventures of a boy (Aaron) and his trusty computer sidekick (INO) exploring the prehistoric world of dinosaurs. The episodes focus on single topics—e.g., iguanodon, microraptor, sharks—but over the five-year run, some fun larger story arcs emerged that create a running plot. All came from the mind of initially 6-year-old Aaron, who kept at it for five years. Highly recommended for any kid who’s interested in dinosaurs.
OK, this isn’t really a podcast, more of a radio show, but long before my kids got into storytelling podcasts, they loved this weekly two-hour music show released every, ahem, Saturday. And I know what you’re thinking: kids’ music. But it’s really not kids’ music, it’s just music kids will enjoy. This is also a great way to discover music your kids love that won’t drive you crazy. Did you know Walkmen co-songwriter Walter Martin has a fantastic album for children? How about The Verve Pipe? Johnny Cash? All these and more I have discovered through Saturday Morning Cereal Bowl.
Really into Podcasts? Get A Wondery+ Kids Subscription
There are quite a few podcast platforms that make it easy to subscribe to many of our favorites and listen ad-free (as well as supporting the creators). Some of these are available through Amazon Music if you’re a Prime subscriber, but my favorite way to get rid of ads and get access to a ton of great shows is a Wondery+ Kids Subscription. You get access to shows like Whose Amazing Life, Wow in the World, and Who When Wow, among others, all for one price. If your kids are really into podcasts, this is the way to go.
Other Great Podcasts and Audio Shows
The internet is awash in podcasts, with far too many to mention in detail. That said, here are some others your kids may like.
Earth Rangers: This podcast has a biology slant but makes a good listen for any kids interested in digging in the dirt, learning about animals, or listening to tales of the ecosystems in far-off lands. There are episodes on the jungle, the Arctic, and nearly everything between. Episodes are generally about 15 minutes each and usually tackle a single animal or environment. Earth Ranger is probably best suited to kids who are a little more mature.
Molly of Denali: This eight-episode podcast sets the backstory for the PBS cartoon of the same name. Each episode is about 10 minutes long, and they’re sequential, telling the backstory of Molly Mabray, an Alaska native growing up with her parents, family, and friends in Alaska.
Eleanor Amplified: This long-running adventure series features an intrepid reporter named Eleanor Amplified. She specializes in foiling the devious plots of villains. It’s a bit pro-journalist at times, in a rah-rah kind of way that’s not for everyone, but the stories are fast-paced, entertaining, and in the spirit of old-time radio shows.
Live From Mount Olympus: My kids were working their way through the Percy Jackson book series when this arrived, so this Olympian-focused podcast was an instant hit. It follows the adventures of a young Perseus, who is on a quest to save his mother from an evil king. Live From Mount Olympus mostly sticks to the Greek stories as you may remember them, though there are some additional characters. Live From Mount Olympus is part of the Trax network, which hosts other kids podcasts as well.

Apple will soon debut the M3 iPad Pros with OLED screens. A new rumor suggests the smaller 11.1-inch model could be in short supply at launch.
This is due to the panels being in limited supply initially. The 12.9-inch iPad Pro apparently won’t have any supply issues.
Apple to soon get a second OLED iPad Pro supplier
Apple’s upcoming M3 iPad Pros will supposedly use 11.1-inch and 12.9-inch OLED displays. This would be a big upgrade from the current gen models’ LCD and mini LED panels.
Display analyst Ross Young, in an X post, claims the 11.1-inch iPad Pro’s panel production is significantly behind the 12.9-inch model. Samsung Display is currently the sole supplier of the screen. LG Display will start production of the 11.1-inch OLED panels later this month, which should ease supply issues.
So, the 11.1-inch iPad Pro might be in short supply initially, but its availability should improve in the following weeks. LG is already the secondary supplier of 12.9-inch OLED screens for Apple, so the bigger iPad Pro should have better availability at launch.
M3 iPad Pro won’t start shipping before April
Previous reports indicate Apple could launch the M3 iPad Pro in late March or early April. Ross reaffirmed this, saying the panel shipments started in February, and the new iPads won’t start shipping until April.
Apart from an OLED screen, a faster M3 chip, and a thinner chassis, Apple’s 2024 iPad Pro lineup is unlikely to sport other significant changes. We wish Apple would improve the battery life or add extra ports to the tablet, but the chances appear slim.
Alongside new M3 iPad Pros, Apple will purportedly also refresh its iPad Air lineup. Besides an internal spec bump, the company will add a 12.9-inch iPad Air to the lineup, whose design recently leaked in CAD renders. A new revamped Magic Keyboard should debut alongside the new tablets with an aluminum casing.

If you’re an online influencer, keeping up with trends can be a real chore. The world is changing faster than ever, and with it, the preferences of those who buy online change, too. So, getting the right information is paramount as you don’t want to miss out on a trend or arrive too late and lose credibility.
Of course, with every fleeting trend comes those that stick around longer, and these are the ones that could be worth becoming involved with or at least partnering with an established brand. These aren’t easy to spot, but here are some trends that look to be worthy of your attention in the next twelve months and beyond.
Lip Stain
There can often be some ambiguity about what some products do, but luckily, lip stain is entirely self-explanatory. It’s said to have massive advantages over lipstick as it’s longer lasting and doesn’t wipe off, so it looks to be an important addition to many cosmetic lines for years and years to come.
This isn’t a new concept, however, as many races throughout history have used lip stains. The reason why they seem to be quite a recent development is that back in the day, they contained toxic ingredients. Of course, now these are no longer part of the process. Despite being longer lasting than lipstick, this is a product that will need to be bought over and over again, so it’s a prime candidate for subscription options.
Donald Trump Merchandise
If you’re looking solely at the US, it’s hard to look any further than merchandise bearing the name of Donald Trump. Official sites selling Trump Merch are well stocked with T-shirts and hoodies bearing the face of the charismatic leader along with slogans relating to current events in his life.
Supporters wishing to show solidarity with President Trump in his bid to return to the White House at the first opportunity are the main customers here. As you might expect, there’s no shortage of those, and the wide product range means that repeat purchases from fans will keep these items popular for the foreseeable future.
Shot glasses
These are big sellers not only in the US but worldwide and, despite being long-lasting, they’re repeat sellers. This is due to the different types of glasses involved, whether they happen to be tall or short shot glasses, novelty shot glasses, or those based around a certain spirit, most commonly tequila.
This means there’s longevity here, so repeated collaborations are possible, and of course, putting together the content for these looks like it could be plenty of fun if done responsibly. You might also think that these will only work when party season comes around, but shot glasses tend to be big sellers all year round.
To wrap it all up
As an influencer, it can be hard to know which brands or trends to jump on. However, by approaching ones with lines and products that are both good quality and have longevity, you can build strong relationships, and both parties can profit from the endeavor.
