The Ending of ‘Weapons’ Is Very Personal to Zach Cregger

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-12-01 09:20:21

You can’t watch a movie like Weapons and not sense that parts of it come from deep within a person. The portrayals of family, fear, and loss—it’s all heartbreaking and scary even before you get to the chills and thrills. Writer-director Zach Cregger fully admits the film was written as a way for him to cope with the loss of a good friend, but his personal connections to the material go even beyond that. Speaking to Vanity Fair, Cregger talked about some of the big reveals in the final act of th

TL;DR Google Meet now has a full-screen option for presentations and screen shares. The feature pushes participants into a sidebar so content takes center stage. It’s rolling out now for Rapid Release and coming August 14 to Scheduled Release. If you’ve spent any time in a Google Meet call, you’ll know that part of the screen is a slide deck and the rest is a gallery of participants reacting or pretending to pay attention.

Kilo just broke through the 1 trillion tokens a month barrier on OpenRouter for the first time. Each of the open source family of AI coding tools (Cline, Roo, Kilo) is growing rapidly this month. Part of this growth is caused by Cursor and Claude starting to throttle their users. We wrote about Cursor at the beginning of July and about Claude in the second half of July.

Magic: The Gathering is having an even bigger moment than usual this year, thanks to a lot of attention around its splashy crossovers and its rapid rollout of sets.

The Joy of Mixing Custom Elements, Web Components, and Markdown I love Markdown. I write faster and more natively in it than any other format or tool. If we zoom way out, here’s the most basic philosophy of Markdown: replace complicated stuff with simpler stuff. That’s all it does, really. It replaces some tedious nested taggy stuff with way simpler stuff that makes more visual sense and is faster to type. At its core, Markdown is really just a bunch of macros.

Ford's Answer to China: A Completely New Way of Making Cars

wired.com Jeremy White 2025-12-02 09:02:33

I first thought Ford CEO Jim Farley was briefing me on a new car. It turned out to be something altogether more ambitious: A completely new way to make a car. Or, more precisely, EVs. “No one's ever built a car in three pieces then fit them together at the end,” Farley says. “We build the front, rear, and middle. We build the whole middle, front, and the rear—and then, at the end, we put it together. No one's ever built a car that way.” That approach stands in stark contrast to the usual way c

James Webb Finds Evidence of Free-Floating Planets So Large They Can Gather Their Own Planetary Systems

So much for heliocentrism. An international team of astronomers using observations made with the James Webb Space Telescope have found evidence of massive planets out there that're capable of forming their own planetary systems — without a star. These planets would be the center of something like a mini version of our solar system where other, smaller planets revolve around it.
