The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services said both individuals had underlying health conditions that may have worsened due to the intestinal illness and dehydration, and declined to share further details about the deaths.
If Ray Bradbury came back as a zombie, the title of the story he would write would be "There Will Come Soft Brains"
Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...
Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...

#books Every now and then you read a book and it takes up a permanent place in the back of your brain. It doesn't dominate, but it subtly influences HOW you think about your life. One of these is "Replay" by Ken Grimwood. It's a simple premise, excellently written, and it won a World Fantasy Award.
Two physicists won the Nobel Prize for the 2012 discovery of the so-called “God particle.” Under a new rule proposed by the Trump administration, American scientists might be forced to watch similar discoveries from the sidelines.
How Trump’s “America First” Administration Could Shut U.S. Scientists Out of the Next Nobel-Worthy Discovery
