Film: Project Hail Mary [2026] - Ryan Gosling, Milana Vayntrub, James Ortiz - News and Reviews - PeachZ Reviews

Project Hail Mary mixes sci-fi and comedy in a perfect mix. Yes, the film is over 2 hours, but they're very well used.

accidentally typed 'meshcore' as 'menshcore', which makes me think of a ska band made up of orthodox jews who write loud songs about how some people are good people sometimes

These graphs show the total collapse of snowpack numbers for California over the past few weeks (dark blue line), along with the average snowpack (light blue area), for the state, and northern/central/southern California.
California snowpack is now at only 27% of normal, as heat waves have turned the little #snow California received to #water or vapor.

New Mexico jury says Meta harms children's mental health and safety

A New Mexico jury finds that social media conglomerate Meta is harmful to children’s mental health and in violation of state consumer protection law. The jury announced its verdict Tuesday as another jury deliberates a similar case in California against Meta, which owns Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp. State prosecutors said Meta prioritized profits over safety in violation of the state’s Unfair Practices Act and failed to adequately monitor the platforms for child sexual exploitation. Attorneys for Meta say company discloses risks and makes efforts to weed out harmful content and experiences, but that some bad material gets through its safety net. A Meta spokesperson says the company will appeal.

Once again, it’s important to remember that the stock market long ago ceased to be linked to a rational valuation of the companies listed and is just a mood ring for rich people.

Why don't people just take pics of unmasked ICE faces with badge numbers and upload them to make a database?
