Extended trailer for Christopher Nolan's Odyssey
5 May 2026 @ 9:49 pm
Chris Nolan may be done making Batman movies, but you could be mistaken for thinking otherwise with how dark, gritty and full of black armor his upcoming The Odyssey movie is shaping up to be. Better-informed historians than I have torn into this movie for its lack of any real-world historical aesthetic. — The case for thinking of yourself as a meat-based language model
5 May 2026 @ 9:22 pm
Are humans just LLMs in meat suits? Arturo Nereu doesn't quite think so, but in a recent essay, he lays out the uncomfortable parallels between how large language models work and how he experiences his own thinking. The more he interacts with AI tools for research and development, the more he notices the overlap — and the more he wonders whether the comparison goes deeper than metaphor. — Keep your projects on track with Microsoft Project Professional 2024

5 May 2026 @ 8:35 pm
This Friday, May 8, Meta will turn off end-to-end encryption for Instagram DMs. The feature, added as opt-in in 2023, is being yanked because almost nobody used it — or at least, that's the official explanation, according to MacRumors, citing a Meta spokesperson who told The Guardian: "Very few people were opting in to end-to-end encrypted messaging in DMsStunning new scans reveal RMS Titanic debris field in eerie detail
5 May 2026 @ 5:35 pm

Koru is one of the largest sailing yachts in the world, and the largest that moves under sail only.
— HowToBasic goes vegan with extremely cursed burger recipe
5 May 2026 @ 5:04 pm

Not a single one of his recipes ends without something on fire or someone grievously injured, which is exactly what makes watching him so mesmerizing. — This destroyed Nintendo 3DS restoration is supernaturally relaxing

How I Get Free Traffic from ChatGPT in 2025 (AIO vs SEO)
4 December 2025 @ 5:37 am
Three weeks ago, I tested something that completely changed how I think about organic traffic. I opened ChatGPT and asked a simple question: "What's the best course on building SaaS with WordPress?" The answer that appeared stopped me cold. My course showed up as the first result, recommended directly by the AI with specific reasons why it was valuable.I hadn't paid for advertising. I hadn't done any special promotion. The AI simply decided my content was the best answer to that question and served it to the user. This wasn't luck or a fluke. When I tested the same query in Perplexity, the same thing happened. My website ranked at the top of AI-generated responses, pulling in free traffic directly from AI models that millions of people now use as their primary search tool.
This represents a fundamental shift in how people discover content online. For years, we've optimized for Google's algorithm, carefully crafting meta

Alternate Futures: Five Modernist Landmarks Reimagined for the 21st Century
6 May 2026 @ 7:30 am
Modernism in architecture was perhaps the first truly global building design philosophy. Established at the beginning of the twentieth century, its early proponents were heavyweights from Europe, such as Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, and Mies van der Rohe. In 1923, Le Corbusier published his seminal written work, usually translated into English as Towards a New Architecture. Newness, and a rejection of history, was one of the central tenets of modernism. This manifested itself in the use of new materials such as
The Lost Shtetl Jewish Museum / Lahdelma & Mahlamäki Architects
6 May 2026 @ 7:00 am
The concept behind The Lost Shtetl Jewish Museum is based on the destroyed village of Šeduva and its culture, which vanished overnight in August 1941. 664 Jews from the village were executed in the nearby forests. Along with human lives, Šeduva's long and rich history was also lost. The museum was built to commemorate the lost lives and culture, which represented not only Jewish but also European culture. The museum consists of minimalist, abstract 'houses' with hip roofs. Together, they form a cluster of buildings—a dreamscape of a village, a shtetl.
Dorte Mandrup’s The Whale Advances Along Norway’s Arctic Coastline
6 May 2026 @ 6:30 am
Located approximately 300 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, on the island of Andøya in northern Norway, The Whale by Dorte Mandrup is currently under construction along the coastline of Andenes. The small settlement is situated near Bleiksdjupa, a deep-sea canyon that brings marine life close to shore and has contributed to the region's role as a whale-watching destination. Recent construction images show the building emerging from the rocky shoreline, maintaining a low profile that follows the contours of the site. The surrounding context, including the existing lighthouse and residential structures, situates the project within an active coastal environment.

Though restrained in scale, it unfolds with a generous sense of atmosphere, offering a place where light, material, and landscape converge.
Smiljan Radić to Lead 2026 Pritzker Laureate Lecture and Panel on “Architecture: Distraction and Knowledge”

On March 12, the Chilean architect of Croatian descent, Smiljan Radić Clarke, was awarded the 2026 Pritzker Architecture Prize. The jury highlighted his "unorthodox approach to design," which "may initially appear unusual, unexpected, even rebellious; yet, far from producing alienation or estrangement, his anti-canonical stance feels fresh and unprecedented. It conveys the unmistakable sensation of encountering something new." This recognition will be celebrated with the annual Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate Lecture and Panel Discussion, to be held in Mexico City at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), at the Faculty of Architec

The space allows them to engage with contemporary art in a playful and sensory way through workshops and exhibitions at a high level. The challenge in planning was unique: the design had to be viewed from the perspective of children, while still maintaining a serious commitment to art.
Bhoon+ House / Anonym
6 May 2026 @ 2:00 am
This 376-square-meter plot was once simply a green lawn, not a space actively used so much as one appreciated from a distance, offering a restful patch of green for the eye. That changed when the son got married and started a family of his own. The land soon revealed itself as an ideal site for a new house, one that would allow the family to remain close while granting the younger household a greater sense of privacy. At the same time, the lawn was transformed into a courtyard to be shared between the new house and the original home.
the Happy Spot under the Light Rail / VIASCAPE design
6 May 2026 @ 12:00 am
Beginning in the spring of 2022, our team commenced working on the comprehensive environmental improvement and renewal project for the surrounding Caoxi Rd. Metro Station area. The overall renewal plan had completed by July of the same year. The plan aims to establish a renewal framework through a holistic urban design approach, achieving functional transformation of a blighted area in Shanghai's urban core through a phased, incremental implementation process, and realize overall regional revitalization by integrating spatial optimizations based on functional adjustments of the metro station's internal space and its adjacent plots. At the end of 2023, "Caoxi Road Pocket Park"1 designed by our team was built as the first phase of the project. The second phase, "the Happy Spot under the Light Rail", was designed by us in Dec 2023 and constructed by March 2025.
old residence in kitayama / td-Atelier + ENDO SHOJIRO DESIGN
5 May 2026 @ 7:00 pm
This project is the renovation of a wooden residence approaching its centennial anniversary. The house was originally built in 1931, on a plot developed through the Rakuhoku First District Land Readjustment Project, an early urban planning scheme in northern Kyoto. Several houses from that period still remain in the neighborhood, evoking the refined residential character of the time. The current owners, a couple in their seventies, have inherited the house through three generations since it was first purchased by the husband's grandfather.
