President Trump temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether. Our investigative reporter Eric Lipton explains how corporate interests took power inside the EPA. Read more: nyti.ms/4il3336
Aardman are celebrating their 50th anniversary with a new show at Lightroom in London, called Larger Than Life. The 50-minute show, on four 11-metre walls, tells the story of how Aardman’s legendary films and characters are built, one tiny, hand-crafted move at a time.
An enormous fire all but destroyed an infamous Nazi-era guesthouse known as the Eagle’s Nest in southern Germany, according to the police, who said on Saturday that a man had been arrested in connection with the blaze.
The man whose voice set world records. The late Stan Lemkuil, the human sound machine, mastered over 300 vocal sound effects with just his mouth – from sirens to lasers and everything in between.

The World being held hostage by those in The Epstein Files just like those children they violated.
The USA, We NEED to do better. There is over 350 Million of US. How about we choose Quality of Character instead of Quantity in Bank Account.
There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere*
Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines
As a species we decided, “we will survive”
Let’s do that some more
I may be a bit foolish, but some galaxies are worth fighting for.
Mass Effect gave us more than a game. It gave us stories, choices, friendships, and, for some of us, hope when we needed it most.
Don't let that spark fade.

The current dilemma for most creatives now is that you need to share work online for your business to survive but if you do, it will immediately be stolen and replicated by AI and it's quite possible your business won't survive that
Some thoughts:
Being able to play DOOM on your sleeve might be cool.
We'll have to buy Skyrim again.
Hacking someone's clothes will be a thing.
@snipe.lol will probably have a sweatshirt that just does a gallery rotation of goatse memes. You know, for science.
“Palantir cofounder and CEO Alex Karp states ‘AI will undermine the influence of highly educated, often female voters and give it to working class men.
We have feminine energy running our cities and our courts,’ he complained.”
James Talarico: We are still very much the underdogs. We're going up against the most corrupt politician in Texas who is backed by the most powerful man in the world and the richest man in the world — both the president and Elon Musk are backing Ken Paxton.
This is Dublin Rape Crisis Centre's donations page. Now would be a really good time to show your support for all their work - including education on consent. www.drcc.ie/donate/
It’s absolutely a term of endearment, and it’s not thrown around exactly, but it’s just a thing you get used to. It’s not demeaning, it’s not sexist. It’s just friendly, but using words that I’d bristle at in the U.S.
this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...
these fucking guys, man.
“surely there must have been some mistake”
“nah bro we did that on purpose and our company culture is so wild this is a normal thing to say on the public Internet”
Because apparently this needs to be said: if you’re part of a coordinated disclosure process the appropriate thing to do is to talk to the rest of the group before you make unilateral decisions because the process is *coordinated*. It’s right there in the name
Don’t agree to that? Don’t be in one
Not a single word of this is hyperbolic in the slightest.
Buy your friends in cybersecurity the drink or chocolate of their choice right now. We are not doing well
wrote about "Black October," the PHP vulnerability, and the AI-fueled dread and panic I'm seeing among almost all of the cybersecurity experts I've ever known.
I think people w/ LLMs are brute forcing software the same way they brute forced social media w/ slop

The night sky in Vincent van Gogh’s painting The Starry Night may have been inspired by a celestial arrangement visible before dawn on 22 July 1889, according to research in Scientific Reports. The authors argue that the conventional June dating of the work should potentially be reconsidered. 🔭🧪
Moderna-Merck clinical trial data for an mRNA-based skin cancer vaccine leaked on social media on Thursday. Here’s what the data actually show:

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.
We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.
Apache SedonaDB 0.5.0 is now available for download: buff.ly/M2Qe59V

engine that treats spatial data as a first-class citizen.
I have been meaning to write about this for a month or so now but it breaks my heart. AI has infected every hobby. Everything is noise. It's hurting existing communities and trudging through the slop is exhausting.
I used to think, if we could get everyone to see the *patterns* in reactionary lies & manipulations, the way they're always the same, we'd be better at guarding against them. But I've lost that faith. On some level people *want* to shut their frontal cortexes down & wallow in monkey-brain shit.
