Google’s roughly $75 million #investment is tied to the #partnership and is in line with what Thrive #Capital invested during the studio’s last funding round, according to the Wall Street Journal. The partnership will give A24 access to DeepMind’s #research and #infrastructure, while #DeepMind researchers will work with the studio to build out new workflows. The deal does not give Google #access to A24’s content library or its data.

Anyone in #rotherham #sheffield #doncaster or nearby with an interest in #DIYscience or #experimental #filmmaking should check out my microscope, which I'm selling to pay for a mobility aid.

It comes with a bespoke smartphone holder, so you can easily record and even livestream the teeny tiny wildlife you find in your local environment. It also comes with a guide on how to find microscopic critters and how to treat them well while they are under your attentive care!

Local pick-up will save you a bunch of money and save me a lot of hassle - I really don't want this thing to get damaged in transit.

This is a #mutualaid request: I need the money to pay for a mobility scooter, as I've become almost housebound due to MS and Long COVID. Boosts greatly appreciated.

The screening of Lajok The Night Dancer at Ngalabi Short Film Festival was a really good experience. The audience enjoyed the film and it received very strong feedback. It was beautiful seeing how much it resonated with the audience. Some expressed interest in joining the Sisi Film Lab training to learn more about filmmaking. We’re really happy about it.
