Today we remember legendary composer Akira Ifukube, who composed the music featured across 12 Godzilla films, including the original Godzilla (1954). Akira Ifukube's unforgettable themes for Godzilla would continue to be used throughout generations of cinema history.

Shout out to James Cameron for understanding decades in advance that one of the great villains of our time would have the exact aura of Paul Reiser in Aliens. This psycho is just real life Carter Burke.

if someone ran a marathon and someone else drove 26 miles i wouldnt congratulate the driver just because he ended up at the destination

Very good but depressing read

A whole generation losing the genuinely important ability to bullshit through an annoying assignment

The Nakba never ended. The genocide of Palestinians continues as the Israeli military escalates violence in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.

I'm joining @RepRashida in co-sponsoring a resolution to recognize the 78th anniversary of the Nakba and Palestinian refugees’ rights.

Jane Schoenbrun on their history with the Cannes Film Festival after a previous visit:

“Um, I used to be a boy, and I used to have a shitty job that I didn’t like. I used to come to Cannes with that job, and I was at Cannes when I decided to quit my job. I was like, ‘I’m depressed at Cannes.’ That was exactly 10 years ago, and now I’m not depressed at Cannes.”

LA looks like this because we give the cops 3 billion a year.

this is one of the jolliest, most benevolent paparazzi photos I have ever seen in my life - Spielberg somehow just emanating pure concentrated good vibes

[Ghali ⵣ 𓂆🍉🗝️🇵🇸 @GhaliZayane]

The Nakba was not a moment. It was the systematic destruction of a society.
Between 1947–1949:
• 400–600 Palestinian towns and villages were depopulated
• ~750,000 Palestinians expelled
• Hundreds of localities were destroyed, repopulated, and renamed
This is documented by historians, including Walid Khalidi, Benny Morris, and others.

Teoscar Hernández is supporting his son — and spreading autism awareness — every time he takes the field for the Dodgers.

Spoke with Hernández about why it was important to him, and how he drew the inspiration to wear custom gear to honor Teo (unlocked): https://t.co/QPKTGeBkfo

However dumb you think the process for destroying USAID was, it was dumber.

This is from Nicholas Enrich's new book Into the Wood Chipper, describing a meeting with Trump-appointed USAID leadership *after* they had largely gutted the agency

i made a map to monitor data centers all around the world

tracks construction + nearby power plants + local AI legislation, and follows the politicians behind their bans (+ if they're getting paid to do so!)

My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.
It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away
