Netflix has opened an office in Italy and unveiled a huge slate of scripted and unscripted series and films from many of the country’s biggest producers, with Co-CEO Reed Hastings detailing the streamer’s roots in the nation.
Located in the heart of Rome, the office will house around 70 staff and adds to Netflix’s suite of European bases, which already includes the UK, France, Spain and, most recently, Poland, among others. Netflix said the new base cements a “long-term commitment” to Italy and its creative community.

Of course Paul Riforati is not Michel Rabagliati — he has a different name, see?
But Rabagliati has now given us about 1200 pages of comics — not all of which have made it into the English language, true — about Riforati and his life. They may all be completely fictional: Paul may just be someone born at about the same time as Rabagliati, living in the same places, having the same jobs, with all of the emotional and story content entirely unconnected to Rabagliati’s life.
Sure. That’s plausible, isn’t it?
We don’t know Rabagliati personally. We almost never know a creator personally. So he could have made it all up.
But I don’t think so. What a creator does is not so much “create,” which implies making something out of whole cloth, but transforming. And the Paul stories are one of the finest examples of life transformed into...

Sasha Obama takes her education seriously!
Social media was quick to point out on Tuesday that President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama's 15-year-old daughter was missing as her father gave his emotional farewell speech, although her sister, 18-year-old Malia, was present.

But it turns out Sasha had a good excuse for missing the monumental moment. CBS News correspondent Mark Knoller tweeted that Sasha stayed back in Washington, D.C. because she had an exam at school on Wednesday morning.
... And plenty of people on Twitter hilariously admired her for it.
Family was clearly on President Obama's mind during his speech, when he thanked his two daughters for how they've handled growing up "under the strangest of circumstances" and in the public eye.
"Of all that I’ve done in my life, I’m most proud to be your dad," he...

"Thanksgiving is a family holiday as much as a national one, so for the past seven years, I've established another tradition: embarrassing my daughters with a corny-copia of dad jokes about turkeys," Obama explained. "This year, they had a scheduling conflict… actually they just couldn't take my jokes anymore. They were fed up."
"Fortunately, I have by my side, here today, two of my nephews, Austin and Aaron Robinson, who unlike Malia and Sasha, have not yet been turned cynical by Washington. They still believe in bad puns. They still appreciate...

At 18 and 15 years old, Malia and Sasha Obama have already started dating -- but their father, President Barack Obama, is surprisingly "pretty relaxed about it."
The commander-in-chief made an appearance on Raleigh, North Carolina, radio station Wdcg, where he revealed that his two daughters have started "ditching" family dinners for dates, but said he's not too worried about their love lives.

"The truth is, I'm pretty relaxed about it for two reasons. One is Michelle [Obama] -- she's such a great example of how she carries herself, her self-esteem, not depending on boys to validate how you look or not letting yourself be judged by anything other than your character and intelligence."
"Hopefully I've been a good example in terms of how I show respect to my wife," he added.
As for the second reason? Well, it didn't...
