Why did Anthropic name its new model Mythos? Fascinating take by Om Malik, with assists from Augustus and Nietzsche. https://t.co/dexAKQmnBz

Lucile Hadžihalilović’s fantastically surreal fables, a John Waters double feature and a Robert Altman deep cut are among Katie Rife’s selections in this month’s edition of Shelf Life. https://t.co/3qWhbZlOVx

@MarkAschParody So many favorites!

[alex lei @alexL_E_I]

a perfect closer for Le Cinéma Club's New American Voices retro. Castronovo's film somehow simultaneously exhumes the past, lives completely in the present, and feels like its from the future

This is one of my top five films of 2025 -- an ingenious literary and conceptual art-inflected first feature that is also an inspiring example of how to make a great film for practically nothing. ($900). A must-see this week.

Watching Backrooms, was the first time it occurred to me that someone could satisfactorily adapt H,P. Lovecraft. An extraordinary accomplishment.

Lisa was our set photographer for “julien donkey-boy” and we were in production when Kubrick died. I remember talking to her about the shoot, excited to watch this.

RIP famed portrait photographer, William Coupon. He started his career with the photo series 'The Punks of New York'. Almost all of the portraits were taken at the legendary Mudd Club in NYC. Here's four shots I love: Eileen Polk, Eric Mitchell, Lydia Lunch & Howie Pyro (rip) 🖤

RIP Marjane Satrapi, the great cartoonist and film director, best known for PERSEPOLIS. She was only 56. A great talent. She will be missed.

Israeli journalist Gideon Levy:

"Now that [Gaza] has been destroyed almost completely, Israel is advancing confidently toward the next phase: making the entire population permanently disabled, injured, sick, hungry, homeless and unemployed."

It's the prelude, says Levy, to mass expulsion.

"No society can function without teachers, doctors, social workers, engineers and clerks. And without a functioning society, it's easy to expel Gaza's residents to the four corners of the earth."

Had a nice long chat with my friend Rob Rice on his new film "Ponderosa", the suburbs, paranoid masculinity, and the breakdown of language. It's a long one, I hope you enjoy! https://t.co/iLGdlcCYs5

Footage from inside the hospital shows scenes of utter destruction.

This is a hospital where patients are being treated and medical staff are working.

They were all inside.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

They wiped out 3 residential apartment blocks in one single strike.

Read that again.

BREAKING:

Israel is dropping bombs near Jabal Amel hospital in Tyre — striking residential buildings packed with civilians.

These are not military targets.

They are homes. A hospital vicinity.

The scenes are horrifying.
