‘Dan Da Dan’ Season 2 Is Peak, Again

In the blink of an eye, Dan Da Dan‘s second season wrapped up with the same unpredictable swagger that made its anime series debut impossible to ignore. Studio Science Saru didn’t just keep the pace—it doubled down on its creative bravado. If season one proved the studio could conjure anime magic from one of Shonen Jump’s most eccentric ongoing manga series, season two confirmed it’s not merely riding the wave of the manga-to-anime pipeline—it’s reshaping the tide. Now that the second season’s

‘Dan Da Dan’ Season 2’s Penultimate Episode Sets the Stage for a Giant Robot vs Space Kaiju Showdown

While the end is near for Dan Da Dan season two, animation studio Science Saru isn’t repeating what it did last season with the show concluding on a crushing mid-arc cliffhanger. Instead, the lovey-dovey raucous sci-fi-meets-yokai anime is going out with a bang, with its penultimate episode setting up a cataclysmic giant robot versus space kaiju battle to send anime fans home happy. In Dan Da Dan episode 11, “Hey, It’s a Kaiju,” the gang battles a kaiju. While Momo, Okarun, and their new friend,

Wiggling into Correlation

Jeff Kaufman shared some data around contra dance attendance as a function of requirements on wearing surgical masks. He compares this data to survey data, which is a useful way to validate in both directions. I found the plot compelling for a different reason – depending on how we look at it, we can draw wildly different conclusions from it. On the one hand, if we draw boxes around consecutive pairs of dances, it’s fairly obvious that mask-optional dances are more popular. Tickmarks at the top

Creator of Charli XCX Apple dance settles Roblox lawsuit

Creator of Charli XCX Apple dance settles Roblox lawsuit Kelley Heyer created the Apple dance posting it every day for two weeks before it started getting popular. Court papers filed in the US this week said that Kelley and the Roblox Corporation had agreed to dismiss the case, and a joint statement quoted by Billboard said both sides had "amicably resolved" the issue. Her legal team claimed Roblox had made $123,000 (£93,000) from selling the moves as an emote - a celebratory animation used b

Watch Lady Gaga’s Tim Burton-Directed Video for Her ‘Wednesday’ Dance Jam

There was a lot of hype ahead of Lady Gaga’s appearance on Netflix’s Wednesday, but now that all of season two has dropped, it’s clear that her new song, “The Dead Dance,” has an equally important presence in the series. No spoilers if you haven’t binged the new episodes yet, but you can also enjoy the song on its own thanks to the Tim Burton-directed music video. Though Burton has a cinematic filmography stretching back 40 years—all the way to 1985’s Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, his feature debut—

This Week’s ‘Dan Da Dan’ Episode Went Full ‘Minecraft’ Foreshadowing Its Big Season Finale

The ninth episode of Dan Da Dan hit the ground running with an explosive rematch between Okarun and Evil Eye. But in an episode that otherwise was pretty chill and low-key, Science Saru set up the building blocks for the show’s big showdown that manga readers have been waiting for with bated breath to see adapted in all its glory. As noted up top, Okarun and Evil Eye fought in a cold open that we won’t even attempt to give the play-by-play for. The only thing that matters is that it nailed mang

Trump admin dismisses Endangered Species List as “Hotel California”

“You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.” It’s the ominous slogan for “Hotel California,” an iconic fictional lodging dreamed up by the Eagles in 1976. One of the rock band’s lead singers, Don Henley, said in an interview that the song and place “can have a million interpretations.” For US Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, what comes to mind is a key part of one of the country’s most central conservation laws. “The Endangered Species List has become like the Hotel Californ

People With Ties to Trump Accused of Carrying Out ‘Covert’ Influence Operations in Greenland

Earlier this year, the Trump administration raised eyebrows and inspired scoffs when it announced it wanted to buy Greenland. Since then, the government has ignored the laughs and continued to pursue its stated objective. Now, a new report from a Danish news outlet alleges that multiple Americans with direct ties to Trump have been engaged in covert “influence operations” aimed at Greenlanders. The purpose of these propaganda efforts is to sow division between the Nordic territory and its parent

The Top Diseases We Choose to Stay Ignorant About, According to Scientists

The old adage “ignorance is bliss” feels especially fitting when it comes to healthcare. In fact, new research reveals that one in three people avoids—or is likely to avoid—medical information. In a study published in the Annals of Behavioral Medicine earlier this month, researchers investigated data from 92 studies involving 564,497 participants from 25 countries. Despite the fact that successful treatment often depends on early detection, their results indicate that many people are reluctant

Dangerous Advice for Software Engineers

I’m a big fan of “sharp tools”. These are tools that are powerful enough to be hugely helpful or harmful, depending on how they’re used. Most forms of direct production access are in this category: like ssh or kubectl, or a read-write prod SQL console. It’s also possible to give “dangerous advice”. Dangerous advice is dangerous because (like sharp tools) it takes competence and judgment to use well. Giving the wrong person dangerous advice is like giving the wrong person production SQL access -

‘Dandadan’ Studio Apologizes for Its Exorcism Rock Opera Homaging Too Close to the Sun

As the second season reaches its midpoint, Dan Da Dan studio Science Saru has been unapologetic about its abundant references to pop culture and music as it adapts Yukunobi Tatsu’s manga, which is also pretty heavy-handed with similar nods and homages. However, the studio recently issued an apology to the Japanese rock band, X Japan, following an homage featured in an episode centered around a power metal exorcism song that may have homaged too close to the sun. In a post on its official X/Twit

Dante and Vergil Meet Again in ‘Devil May Cry’ Season 2 Teaser

With the rift machine destroyed in Devil May Cry season one, thanks to Dante (Johnny Yong Bosch), the demon hunter’s down-on-his-luck fate appeared to be turning around after being humanity’s salvation.

Dante’s brother, Vergil (Robbie Daymond), is back, and this time he’s working with the demons after the defeat o

A Digital Underground Is Using the Flipper Zero to Break Into Cars

Its creators call it a “multi-tool” device. For many users, it’s a hacking accessory. Since it first debuted in 2020, the Flipper Zero has been considered a fun, low-key pen-tester, but a new report bolsters claims made by the tool’s critics, many of whom have argued that it makes nefarious hacking just a little too easy. 404 Media reports that claims the Flipper has become a favorite in a digital underground where low-level hackers create and sell their own software to modify the tool’s abilit
