Lilo & Stitch is one of Disney's best movies. It was meant to be a risk -- a "smaller, gutsier film."

Even its art direction was risky, down to its revival of watercolor backgrounds at Disney. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-shape-...

I do like the new nickname for this serious virus is FLiRT. Sounds like something from Jimmy Neutron

My hometown’s river is no longer flammable because of public policy! And our lake (Erie) was once considered dead and now it is slowly recovering, thanks largely to environmental regulations.

Public policy works, pass it on.

So excited for the future where all appliances must always be online lest they explode!

Hell yeah, Bethesda Game Studios just unionized:

The problem with "where have you been" responses to people's rising political concerns is that we should be encouraging people to become politically active rather than scolding them upon their arrival.

Lost in the ongoing Trumpapalooza is the excellent news that a malaria vaccination developed at Oxford Univ. over the last 30 years and costing only £3 per shot is being unrolled in malaria-prone countries. If it fulfills its promise, this will make an enormous difference to so many lives.

I'm worried people will claim their own political objectives as the ghost president's goals

This is solid percentage of american people lol

I've volunteered for political campaigns for literally 40 years. And one thing that's always helped when things look bleak is the knowledge that there is ALWAYS something practical you can do to help make things better -- whether through electoral politics or other kinds of service.

Dudes think they need to be buff and jacked but girls actually just want Quark

"Last September, I received an offer from Sam Altman, who wanted to hire me to voice the current ChatGPT 4.0 system. He told me that he felt that by my voicing the system, I could bridge the gap between tech companies and creatives and help consumers to feel comfortable with the seismic shift concerning humans and Al. He said he felt that my voice would be comforting to people. After much consideration and for personal reasons, I declined the offer. Nine months later, my friends, family and the general public all noted how much the newest system named "Sky" sounded like me. When I heard the released demo, I was shocked, angered and in disbelief that Mr. Altman would pursue a voice that sounded so eerily similar to mine that my closest friends and news outlets could not tell the difference. Mr. Altman even insinuated that the similarity was intentional, tweeting a single word "her" a reference to the film in which I voiced a chat system, Samantha..."

NPR tech reporter Bobby Allyn obtained this statement from Scarlett Johansson regarding OpenAI's ChatGPT voice that sounds like her role from the 2013 movie "Her"
