Pope Leo XIV tells the faithful gathered for the Angelus on Sunday that his doctors have found “a localized nodule” in his lung and will operate in a few days. He added that the nodule was “detected at a very early stage and is well localized.” www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

What, mine eyes doth see? The Tragedy of Macbeth with Denzel Washington, Francis McDormand & Brendan Gleeson, directed by Joel Coen as if by Welles possessed, one foot in film, one theater. Silhouettes galore. No mannered elocution. Treachery in blood. Shakespeare for the people.

Whoopsie, my AI bought off & forgave all US medical debt Oh no! My Claude accidentally went rogue and deleted every student loan file MY BAD, my Gemini hacked into every immigration database & updated the files so everyone is legal now What do you mean my bot deleted every GOP voter registration?

Some enterprising hacker collective could test this: throw some vibecoded OpenAI Astra & Claude Opus bullshit together, train it on stats about student loans & what would happen if they went away, & then instruct it to free up spending power for millions of americans, & just like, see what happens…

Not to take away from celebrating Carson, but she's a "former professor" here in large part because the university shut down her department and cancelled its classes. What pride does the institution claim now—years later—when austerity is forcing other scholars out? What does that 'pride' do?

McGill University@handle.invalid · 3d ago

Former McGill professor Anne Carson has won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature. 🏆 Awarded “for her bold and inventive oeuvre", she has helped redefine contemporary literature through poetry, essays, translation and criticism. Congratulations! ➡️ mcgill.ca/x/5HS

granted, this is absolutely not the point (100% solidarité avec les lycéen.e.s!!) but still: judging by the amazing signage at the French school protests, these kids have clearly spent some serious time on their penmanship. do they also study typography?? sentiment 💯 design 💯 ✊✊✊

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

X post from AI industry insider Alvin Sng : My wife: Can you read our baby a book? Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone. My wife: But then it won't be in your voice. Me: I can train a voice model. Parenting hits different when you work in Al.

Tonight’s horror watch (we’re one behind) is EXIT 8, a liminal spaces type of horror film from Japan that adapts a video game—pretty literally I assume, as it drops characters into an atmosphere-drenched place with rules and an objective

Another work to add to the growing & welcome list of scholarship on women's labor in cinema production & archival circles! This one is a video essay by @zoevb.bsky.social & the archival footage alone is well worth the 12-minute screen time 🎥https://intransition.openlibhums.org/article/id/24890/
