Creeped Out literally gave us Backrooms for kids with episode ‘The Many Place.’ Down to the yellow walls! Three siblings get stuck on their hotel floor on the way to the pool and it’s one of the most horrifying liminal space loops I’ve ever seen! pic.twitter.com/URue3Ub3Au

"Styled as always by Genesis Webb, it was a reverent recreation of the Jean Paul Gaultier costumes by Michael Schmidt Studios." (The concert reportedly raised $20 million for charity.)
(Talk about having to separate the art from the artist, btw.)

@thetimes At 9.20 on Wednesday morning, 900 children were halfway through the early shift at Tribhuvan Trishuli secondary school, a three-storey complex in the Trishuli valley of north-central Nepal. Another 700 were on their way on foot and by bus, when the principal, Rajendra Dadabi, received a panicked call from a friend in Betrawati, five miles upstream. “He said the village was gone: taken by the river,” said Dadabi. “He told me to run.” The 47-year-old English teacher took a moment to consider the threat. He remembered that the school buses, each carrying 80 children, were en route. “I got through to all the drivers but one and told them to turn back. Then I saw the bus I hadn’t been able to contact coming across the bridge. By now, the water was in the school grounds — it was so fast — so I told him to turn around. It got to the other side just as the bridge collapsed.” Dadabi’s quick thinking saved the lives of 1,643 children and all but one member of the teaching staff. #nepal #nepalfloods #floods ♬ original sound - The Times and Sunday Times
A human did remarkably well playing Go against an AI (AI roundup)
Great, and long discussion about Go and how the AI works:franklantz.substack.com/p/go-lives?r...

Part of the reason it’s very strong is that Go players like it a lot. KataGo had a great innovation where it’s actually accounting for points, which is how humans judge the game: by counting points. The prior AIs were sort of doing something else, which is related to counting points when they judge win rate, but not actually telling you a point estimate. So when KataGo started counting points, and people could read that point estimate and learn from it, KataGo was immediately more useful as an educational tool than any of the prior AIs had been.

(Did Mike Myers copy this?)In 1979, Tim Curry was faced with a disinterested German studio audience who did not want to "boogie" with him. He was undeterred in the face of their indifference. Let us "boogie" today as we mourn his passing. pic.twitter.com/S8t6pFv6Eb
