Most of the big prizes at the Oscars went to “Anora” and “The Brutalist”—“two blazingly intelligent, vividly personal movies, both encouraging signs of an American independent cinema not yet in its long-anticipated death throes,” @justincchang.bsky.social writes.
At the Oscars, “Anora” Keeps a Dream of American Cinema Alive
The ninety-seventh annual Academy Awards were buoyed by two plucky indies and a brave, history-making Palestinian-Israeli documentary.

Boston Dynamics Dog Unstoppable At Puppy Bowl
GLENS FALLS, NY—Breaking its own record after scoring a touchdown to rack up its 600th point within the first quarter, the Boston Dynamics dog appeared unstoppable at the Puppy Bowl, sources confirmed Sunday. “It looks like Nacho is headed into the end zone, and—oh no, another brutal tackle from Spot, the robotic dog!” said game commentator Steve Levy, who clutched his head and winced as the gadget began emitting a high-pitched noise that caused the few still-standing puppies to crumple unconscious to the ground. “Oof, that’s gotta hurt! This is one dog that sure likes to play rough. It’ll be interesting to see what he does with the arm he’s protracting. Good God, Spot, no. That’s the referee! Run, everybody. Run for your lives!” At press time, the robotic dog was reportedly showboating with a victory dance on a pile of its opponents’ corpses.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Ours is an era of obsession as much as distraction. “To ascribe our woes to a society-wide attention-deficit disorder is to make the wrong diagnosis,” Daniel Immerwahr writes.
What if the Attention Crisis Is All a Distraction?
From the pianoforte to the smartphone, each wave of tech has sparked fears of brain rot. But the problem isn’t our ability to focus—it’s what we’re focussing on.

Often when someone asks me about my “ideal future,” the first thing that comes to mind is “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” I would guess I’m not unique in that. This sent me down a rabbit hole today about Star Trek’s use of AI.
