Some surreal and stylish imagery from the cartoon Judo Boy/Kurenai Sanshiro
Kurenai Sanshiro #10 Sanshiro braves the illusory castle of Sandoria, where he faces various traps set by an ancient king. Directed by Hiroshi Sasagawa, it's one of the most surreal & delightfully eerie eps in the series, making fantastic use of silhouettes and limited lighting.

Kurenai Sanshiro is a constantly experimental, visually ambitious show, and this episode is no exception. One of the most notable parts is the scene where Sanshiro walks through a dark corridor, his silhouette being the only window offering us a glimpse of what's inside the tomb.

I also applaud how surreal visuals don't detract from telling a story about a martial artist honing his skills. As Sanshiro sits in complete darkness, trying to catch silently falling waterdrops, our field of view is also limited to further showcase how focused he is on the task.

"data center project in Utah — expected to generate and consume more power than entire state — nears final approval" (AI roundup)
("We’ve announced that we need every incentive we can get out of that state because we have to raise billions to build this power")Backers of the massive data center campus say at full buildout it will consume 9GW of electricity, more than double the entire state of Utah’s current energy use. They say they intend to burn fossil fuels on site to make all that electricity. Box Elder County will vote on the proposal Monday.

Getting the jokes out of the way
(Deleted by the time I looked, and replaced with an acknowledgement that the prior information posted was wrong. Also, I already had that account blocked)Kind of a perfect metaphor for the media and the role they've played over the last ten years

Wonderful site dedicated to psychedelic art from the 60's and 70's
The "If" endpapers are from the book "If Apples Had Teeth"--lots and lots more scanned art from books and games and more at the site.

The Braves turn off the lights and put a spotlight on the opposing team's pitcher when he heads to the mound?
The solo spotlight on the opposing pitcher coming into the game in Atlanta is insane pic.twitter.com/J4h3MMHO27
