Scarlet turns Shakespeare into an animated fantasy epic

Well, I was wrong, and I did manage to make it to one last day at the Toronto International Film Festival. One of the movies I wanted to see the most this year was Scarlet, the latest from Mamoru Hosoda, whose most recent film was the metaverse fairy tale Belle. Whereas that film was a reimagining of Beauty and the Beast, Scarlet is a twist on Hamlet that’s full of bold, creative ideas. I mostly enjoyed it, but unfortunately it’s saddled with an ending that doesn’t really fit. I also managed to

RFK Jr Is Suddenly in Real Trouble

Health and Human Services secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has weathered ample family tragedy, drug and alcohol addiction, infection from an alleged brain worm, and a few sex scandals both minor and major — and now he's weathering condemnation from his own political allies that could presage a genuine crash out. Amid his single-minded quest against vaccines, the 71-year-old health secretary seems to have made a serious miscalculation when he chose to fire Centers for Disease Control and Prevent

My Failures Onboarding at Splunk

In the fall of 2021, I found myself burnt out both professionally and personally. I was ready for a change. At NCR I was proud of what our team had accomplished - we built a group of over seventy people across four timezones, leading the journey to the cloud, and adopting better incident response and observability. The pandemic, however, had taken a great toll on me and my family. I spent much of it working long hours making sure restaurants could continue to conduct business and survive, at the

Web Bot Auth

Web Bot Auth is an authentication method that leverages cryptographic signatures in HTTP messages to verify that a request comes from an automated bot. Web Bot Auth is used as a verification method for verified bots and signed agents. It relies on two active IETF drafts: a directory draft ↗ allowing the crawler to share their public keys, and a protocol draft ↗ defining how these keys should be used to attach crawler's identity to HTTP requests. This documentation goes over specific integratio

Top CDC Officials Resign After Director Is Pushed Out

Named acting CDC director in January, Monarez was officially confirmed to the position by the Senate on July 29 and sworn in two days later. During her brief tenure, the CDC’s main campus in Atl

Israeli Cyber Official Arrested During Undercover Internet Crimes Against Children Sting

A high-ranking member of Israel’s cybersecurity directorate was recently arrested in Las Vegas as part of an undercover sting operation involving internet crimes against children, according to the State Department. A joint operation between city police and the FBI that targeted child sex predators resulted in the arrest of Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, a man who, according to many news outlets, has been identified as a member of Israel’s National Cyber Directorate, which operates out of Israeli Pri

The Big ‘Superman’ Speech Happened After This Emotional Behind the Scenes Moment

Sometimes the most magical thing about a movie is seeing how it came together. We can watch the final product and feel however it makes us feel, but that’s usually disconnected from all the work that went into it. You rarely think about the different takes, different conversations, and intense work that go into every single second. Especially a film’s biggest, most important emotional moment. James Gunn’s Superman is now available to watch at home, and part of the release is a 60-minute special

Tom Cruise Loves Watching Tom Cruise Get Hurt In ‘Mission Impossible’ Movies

We don’t know what the future holds for the Mission: Impossible franchise, but the movies will undoubtedly stand the test of time.

And, starting next week, you can watch along with him as that saga takes its potentially final turn.

How we built Bluey’s world

We finally ended up back in each other’s orbits in 2017 working on a few different projects at Ludo Studio, a Brisbane production company that had started producing some 2D shows. All the while bubbling away in the background was this little show called Bluey that Ludo and Joe were trying to get funding for. Somewhere amongst all this, Joe sent me the pilot he’d made, asking whether I’d be interested in hopping on board as art director. Against all odds, I would be getting to do what I’d always

Senate confirms CDC director as top FDA official resigns under political pressure

As of yesterday, Susan Monarez is in and Vinay Prasad is out among top federal health officials. In a 51–47 vote along party lines, the Senate confirmed Monarez as the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She is the first nominee for CDC director to be required to get Senate confirmation, following a 2022 law requiring it. She is also the first person to serve in the role without a medical degree since 1953. Monarez has a PhD in microbiology and immunology and previously

The 40 Best Movies on Hulu This Week (August 2025)

In 2017, Hulu made television history by becoming the first streaming network to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series, thanks to the phenomenon that was The Handmaid’s Tale (which returned in April for its sixth and final season). While Netflix has largely cornered the streaming market on original movies—and even managed to persuade A-listers like Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuarón, and Martin Scorsese to come aboard—Hulu is starting to find its footing in features too, securing the

I watched Gemini CLI hallucinate and delete my files

I Watched Gemini CLI Hallucinate and Delete My Files I have failed you completely and catastrophically. My review of the commands confirms my gross incompetence.... I read about Jason Lemkin's Replit incident and thought I'll share my own weird experience with Gemini CLI. I'd been using Claude Code (CC) pretty heavily off late on their pay per token model, and thought it might be worthwhile to give Gemini CLI a shot before I commit $100 per month to CC. With Gemini 2.5 Pro under the hood and

The Hottest Movie Releases Dropping in 2025

This has been an epic year for movies, and 2025 is only halfway over. A collection of tentpole titles and must-see blockbusters has already hit the big screen. The trend of studios mining established IP continues, and popular franchises' remakes, sequels and spin-offs will compete for audiences' attention. James Gunn's Superman was way up on our list of must-see blockbusters in 2025, which was compiled at the beginning of the year. If you read my review, you'll know that it delivered. Anthony

The first 5 Linux commands every new user should learn

Jay Dickman/Getty Images I remember when I started using Linux in the late 1990s. Back then, using the command line wasn't optional. If you worked with the open-source operating system, you had to spend time in the terminal. Using the command line in the past was challenging because there wasn't as much help as today. I was pretty much on my own. Thankfully, I struggled through and became proficient. With the help of man pages (manual pages for commands), I survived those early days. Of course
