This video shows the process behind one continuous shot showing a condensed period of time in a woman's life and the changes to her apartment in the show Kidding. AI could make something that looks kind of like this but it could never make you wonder about it. You'd never discuss it with friends.

Oh my god
Brits can get around Discord's age verification thanks to Death Stranding's photo mode, bypassing the measure introduced with the UK's Online Safety Act. We tried it and it works—thanks, Kojima
The UK's new act blocks access to adult content without identification. Turns out, you only need a copy of Death Stranding and a phone to get around it.

Big reveal time:
For the past two weeks I've been working nonstop on making my own Polly Pocket style Alan Wake mini dioramas. There was a bunch of modeling, prototyping, and hand painting on these. Originally I was just going to do Alan in the writers room but couldn't help myself.

It's absurd and dystopian that payment processors get to decide what we can and can't see on the internet.
That companies like Visa and Mastercard can use their enormous size to bully companies into taking stuff offline - based on the reactionary politics of a small group.

My 6-year-old starts every other sentence with 'well, actually' before pointing out something that is both incredibly obvious and painfully irrelevant, and let me tell you, it's given me real insight into a certain kind of internet reply guy.

"Hi, Mel Brooks? Never mind how I got this number, I just want to say that I'm sorry I ever doubted you. Yeah, they did the Spaceballs thing in real life. Yes, the password thing."
McDonald's uses an AI bot called "Olivia" for hiring. A pair of hackers found they could access every conversation job applicants had with it—including all the personal info they shared—by exploiting security vulnerabilities as basic as using the password "123456". www.wired.com/story/mcdona...

BEHOLD! One of Earth's greatest lineages of life: the lil wiggle arm guys, Meteora.
These single-celled critters, originally found in deep-sea sediments, are SO DIFFERENT from other lifeforms on Earth that they're likely in their own kingdom (as in, the Animal Kingdom, the Plant Kingdom etc). 🧪🌿
