'Eddington' Director Ari Aster Couldn’t Stand ‘Living in the Internet.’ So He Made a Movie About It

wired.com Jake Kleinman 2025-07-22 15:00:00

Like a lot of us, Ari Aster spent the summer of 2020 trapped inside and scrolling on social media. Also like a lot of us, the experience left him feeling pretty bad. “I was living on Twitter,” Aster tells WIRED, “and it was really agitating me.” But unlike most people, the director of Hereditary, Midsommar, and Beau is Afraid wasn’t just doomscrolling on Twitter to pass the time. He was doing research. That summer, Aster wrote the script for his latest film, Eddington, a modern western set in

Crypto’s Wild West Era Is Over

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-07-22 13:49:25

For more than a decade, cryptocurrency lived in a regulatory gray zone. Loved by libertarians, feared by bankers, and mocked by lawmakers, it was treated like a side project of the internet, too weird to regulate and too volatile to embrace. That era just ended. The U.S. House of Representatives has officially passed the GENIUS Act, a landmark bill that sets federal rules for stablecoins—the digital currencies pegged to the U.S. dollar. The bill is expected to be signed into law by President Do

Louisiana cancels $3B coastal repair funded by oil spill settlement

news.ycombinator.com Brook Covers Louisiana Government 2025-07-22 14:45:18

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louisiana on Thursday canceled a $3 billion repair of disappearing Gulf coastline, funded by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill settlement, scrapping what conservationists called an urgent response to climate change but Gov. Jeff Landry viewed as a threat to the state’s way of life. Despite years of studies and reviews, the project at the center of Louisiana’s coastal protection plans grew increasingly imperiled after Landry, a Republican, took office last year. Its collaps
