Chinaโs first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend.
By contrast, the scrappy โNiu Laiโ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today.
Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
If Americans need our little southern recipe for how to defeat fascism it goes like this:
- Put people in the streets by standing for popular demands (wages, healthcare, public services)
- Do not engage with fascists online
- Do not succumb to doomsayers or media-driven narratives
- Be happy
Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day.
Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.
She's not just "a congresswoman", she's the co-author of the biggest brazilian worker rights bill of the decade, if not of the century (it eliminates the possibility of having job positions with 6 work days per week)

Trump's Iran conflict choked global helium supply and pushed chip prices up. Relief may come from northern Minnesota: all five Topaz wells hit high-pressure gas, and Two Harbors plans a hub. #mnpol #TwoHarbors https://tcbmag.com/pulsar-helium-picks-two-harbors-for-facility-location/
Yep, just to add even more color for how bad this isโthere are tons of American made vehicles that are basically only exported to Canada because theyโre too expensive for most consumers in Mexico and too big for consumers in Europe/Asia. One of endless reasons it was dumb to start this trade war.
"U.S.-built vehicles accounted for 28.4% of new-vehicle sales in Canada during the first half of 2026, down sharply from 35.4% in the first half of 2025 and an average of ~40% in preceding years."
Canadians aren't buying your stuff anymore. ๐จ๐ฆ

Americans have now spent $142 billion more on gasoline and diesel since March 1, enough to buy 361,000 homes at the September median price, enough to house over 900,000 people, due to the US war on Iran and other factors like limited output from Russia
Google was really trying to hide its water use figures, to the degree that it got the council to try to keep its water use figures secret. The community finally got the actual numbers and found out Google was using 29 percent of the water in the community.

"I can't pronounce that!" Except yeah you can.
As an English speaker I found street names in Hawaii difficult to pronounce and remember at first, but then I got over that because I'm not a friggin' eejit.
It's a logical way to connect places to the people who were there first.
This ๐ is just sad.
In her final appeal to get out the vote, OneBC's Dallas Brodie went to talk about mental health but got distracted by Indigenous language on the sign, and just had to have a rant about that and archaeology. Thankfully, this will be the last we see of her. ๐
