Amazing to experience Pan’s Labyrinth at the movie theater for its 20th anniversary in 3D! (3D conversion was done completely by hand by over 1300 human artists frame-by-frame with no AI used in the process).

I love these lists. Gets the culture talking about art. People think about, create, and share their own lists. Leading to people discovering new art.

It's official: The EPA has repealed a rule that would have directly saved thousands of lives by limiting fossil fuel emissions from power plants. Industry lobbyists successfully pushed for this repeal using surging demand from data centers as justification. The government chose AI over human lives.

Trump EPA delivers reliable and affordable energy in the largest power sector deregulatory action in U.S. history

Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

As for the equities, the Government has a strong interest
in enforcing the rule, and implementing it will also “en-
hance the visibility of Federal Ballot Mail” in order to better

tions. I take that problem very seriously, but it is not
enough to convince me to deny the application.
First, as the District Court acknowledged, the States dis-

You know we're in for a rough ride when a headline that could've been written by a 3-year-old trying to explain recessionary hyperinflation is on the top of CNN.com.

I never would have predicted that cutting 20% of the staff at the federal agency that makes sure our food is safe would result in a bunch of our food being declared unsafe.
