Devastated to hear the entire Marvel Studios’s Visual Development team has been let go. This was my old home but more importantly, the home of so many incredible artists and peers.
Absolutely heartbreaking 😔
Sending all my impacted peers my love and support. Please reach out if you need anything!
AP headline: “for some evangelical Christian’s? Faith is about having a personal relationship with Jesus. At $1.99 a minute the tech company Just Like Me is taking that concept to a new level allowing users to video chat with a personalized AI Jesus.”
Will the company providing this chatbot take paid sponsorships?
Will robo-Jesus tell voters in my area to vote for a specific candidate?
Could one denomination use this tool to recruit?

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

god something about the mission commander being last out of the ship really got me. I know it's such a tiny thing but we're just surrounded all the time by leaders who don't give a shit and just like, the symbolism of making sure your people get out first is a lot
okay my main number one question is why so many of you are SO VERY RELUCTANT to acknowledge that any of these people has severe mental illness. why is it SO offensive to you to suggest that the man who wrote lithium might have had to take it
Mac Dre’s producer used soldering tools to connect a jail phone directly into a studio mixing board. Mac Dre rapped about being locked up and even called radio shows from jail to promote the songs.
On “Back n da Hood,” he thanks the police for getting him media attention through his trial:

Whoa
A "wartime" poster that says: "Using Generative AI? You're Prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead! Don't surrender your creativity to the Tech Billionaires' control!"
I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment.

The bubble shell of a supernova's gas cloud is seen here, its edges are either bright and gold or fuzzy and blue, based on which telescope caught the observation. In the background is a stellar field captured in visible light.
#PPOD: NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) mission has made a new observation of the supernova RCW 86, shown here in an image released on March 24, 2026. This observation helps fill in a fuller picture of what other telescopes have seen. 🧪 🔭

Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel.
King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.
“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age
