The Director of Marvel’s ‘X-Men’ Movie Just Got Confirmed in the Most Roundabout Way

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-03-03 05:20:39

A new X-Men movie is coming. This much we know to be true. Jake Schreier, director of Marvel’s recent film Thunderbolts, is also expected to be directing it. That had yet to be officially confirmed, but io9—and one of Schreier’s fellow Marvel directors— both agree that it’s true. Speaking to Metro Entertainment about his new show Ironheart, executive producer Ryan Coogler (who also, of course, directed both Black Panther movies) shut down rumors that he could direct a new X-Men movie because “J

Roland just released a weird little riff on an acoustic handpan

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-03 10:00:51

Synthesizer giant Roland just announced a fairly bizarre contraption. The Mood Pan is the company's digital take on an acoustic handpan. For the uninitiated, a handpan is a version of the steelpan instrument that's been popular in Trinidad and Tobago since the 1930s. It's widely considered to be the only truly new acoustic instrument invented in the 20th century. However, handpans and steelpans take serious skill to play. Roland's Mood Pan is much easier to play, thanks to clearly visible pads

Stephen Miller Owns Stock in Notorious ICE Collaborator Palantir

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2026-03-03 09:00:35

Stephen Miller, a senior advisor to President Donald Trump, is well known as one of the most extreme anti-immigrant voices in the administration. But he’s not just a ghoul driven by far-right ideology to rid the U.S. of anyone who’s not white. Miller also appears to be making some money in the process, thanks to his stock ownership in a company that’s helping the U.S. government rip apart immigrant families through deportation.

One of the most common blind spots in small business security is access management for various company resources. Today’s IT teams are moving fast (and often understaffed), solving customer problems, and juggling shifting responsibilities as the business grows and evolves. Many SMBs also don’t have a dedicated IT team. They might be fixing things by committee or just trusting that vendors have these problems solved.
