Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...
A casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is. Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.an isolated shot of a star wars vehicle. Sorry, I don't know star wars lol

Good day! You look reasonably sane! What are you doing in the Catacombs? Are you a cleric or something? Yes, I guessed as much. Well, here's a tip. There's a stash of treasure right down that hole.

I had this idea from reading the elizabeth holmes mouse post and then I couldn't do anything else until i painted the idea to completion
It is a cartoon mouse, like Jerry from Tom and Jerry, shaped like a wedge of cheese presumably because it has eaten a wedge of cheese. The mouse has Elizabeth Holmes' face. The mouse is saying "Why would I deceive you? There's no reason for me to do that."Nathan Fielder, looking into a fridge where the mouse has eaten a cheese, says skeptically "Okay. Alright."

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a horseshoe crab watches as a variety of prehistoric creatures swim towards an ethereal light. An ammonite calls back to the crab, “come on, horseshoe crab! We’re all evolving!” Panel 2: the horseshoe crab stays in position and replies, “nahh that’s crazy” Panel 3: the horseshoe crab is superimposed in front of a future premonition: a rather miserable-looking human slouched in the glow of a desktop computer. The horshoe crab swims away and says, “good luck tho”

I wish artists would stop using Mercator projection when drawing Guile from Street Fighter as it greatly distorts his hair and jawline. For a more accurate depiction, consider using Equal Earth instead!

This BBC listicle's caption makes it sound like Henry Cavill only played Clark Kent in Man of Steel, and played the completely separate character of Superman in other DC films.
A screenshot from the BBC article "The next James Bond: The (00)7 questions fans want answered".

1. Who will be the next person to play 007?
[Picture of Henry Cavill, with the caption:]
Henry Cavill is possibly best known for playing Clark Kent in 2013's Man of Steel and Superman in the DC Universe franchise, and has appeared in Enola Holmes, The Man from U.N.C.L.E, Mission: Impossible - Fallout and The Witcher

It didn’t survive the shoot. She felt I wasn’t being faithful to her” it’s him discussing his ill fated affair with miss piggy

If you like, you can go and see Coyote vs. Acme as a gesture to prove David Zaslav wrong. But a better reason to watch it is that it's funny! It's doesn't dethrone Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but I liked it much more than Looney Tunes: Back in Action (which I know has its fans) and Space Jam.

Hey everyone. 

Last night, to my great surprise, I received a long email from Saber Interactive CEO Matt Karch. He apologized unreservedly for the awful way he spoke about me in the press. The email’s full text will stay between us; I’m not that kind of girl. But I have confirmed it was from him. 

Matt said he regretted escalating, and how people online were speaking about me. I’m not worried about being called slurs by random commenters—I’m a trans woman, that’s every day for me—but it stunk to have my skill and reputation built of 20 years in games publicly maligned by someone with institutional power. One thing I saw people saying about me, and that Matt fueled the flames of too, was that this is not my first time calling a former employer out, so I must love drama or be hard to work with. The truth is, bad treatment is everywhere in games; I’m just more willing than others to call it out. And I call it out so maybe others will be willing, too, when it happens to them.

 I’ve been firm from the beginning that I was telling the truth; I think we can all now agree that’s been borne out. Matt expressed a desire to make it right with me; at this time I don’t really know what that looks like for me, and I’ll have to take some time to sit with it, but I do at least accept his apology. None of this changes my stance on AI. Matt and I obviously differ on this, and as a CEO the consequences of its use fall on him, and unfortunately also on his employees.

Apologies are simply in too short a supply these days to spurn one when it’s offered. 

God willing, this is the last statement I’ll need to make about this.

I always use YouTube autocaptions as an example when I'm explaining the error rate of AI to people. Do you want that same error rate when it comes to stuff like your medical records? This has been very illuminating for a lot of folks.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the Argentina players didn't immediately tear off their runner-up medals like many losing finalists do. (At least, the ones I saw that the camera showed us - mainly Messi and I think one other in the background - had kept theirs on.)
