People Are Convinced Nathan Fillion Is Reviving ‘Firefly’ Via… Instagram Posts? – Gizmodo

If, for some reason, you don’t follow Nathan Fillion on Instagram, first of all, how dare you? But if that somehow applies to you, there’s a good chance you’ve been missing one of the most intriguing ongoing sci-fi gags in recent memory. For the past few weeks, Fillion, who first rose to fame on the beloved show Firefly, has been filming videos opposite some of his co-stars from the cult classic show. And, in each one, they tease that “It’s time.” Time for what, exactly? Is Firefly finally coming back after all this time? Hmmm. If only a certain actor in a certain show had a perfect GIF for “Wait, probably not” because of “Wait, probably not.” It all began on February 23 when Fillion posted the below video with Gina Torres. “Oh wow,” Torres, who played Zoe on the show, says. “Does this mean it’s time?” “It’s time,” Fillion replies. In the weeks since, he’s posted similar videos opposite Morena Baccarin (who played Inara), Sean Maher (who played Simon), Summer Glau (who played River), and, just this week, Jewel Staite (who played Kaylee). You can watch each of those at those links. Now, you might be wondering, what about

7 tools and tips to get — and stay — organized as a freelancer

My organizational strategies as a freelancer are not particularly modern or meticulous. I just list all of my assignments — including their fees and deadlines — in a Google spreadsheet. I keep a messy, running list of story ideas in a Google doc, and file all rejected or ignored pitches in yet another Google doc, where they rest until they find the right home. (This post is not sponsored by Google.)  I also use my Notes app as host to my ongoing to-do list, to flag which sources I’ve reached out to and when, and to contain what I call “scraps” — pieces of story drafts I’ve demoted to the cutting room floor.  That’s pretty much it: I don’t have separate work and life email addresses (let alone email filters and folders), don’t consolidate transcripts and drafts for each story in any sort of logical way (the search function suffices), and it works for me, for now.  But some freelancers want, need or thrive on more intricate systems, and there are increasingly more clever tools out there that deliver them. After all, the more you can streamline the administrative sludge successful freelancing requires, the more time and energy you can

How Instagram addictiveness lawsuit could reshape social media – platform design meets …

A Los Angeles courtroom is hosting what may become the most consequential legal challenge Big Tech has ever faced. This is an inflection point in the global debate over Big Tech liability: For the first time, an American jury is being asked to decide whether platform design itself can give rise to product liability – not because of what users post on them, but because of how they were built. As a technology policy and law scholar, I believe that the decision, whatever the outcome, will likely generate a powerful domino effect in the United States and across jurisdictions worldwide. The case The plaintiff is a 20-year-old California woman identified by her initials, K.G.M. She said she began using YouTube around age 6 and created an Instagram account at age 9. Her lawsuit and testimony allege that the platforms’ design features, which include likes, algorithmic recommendation engines, infinite scroll, autoplay and deliberately unpredictable rewards, got her addicted. The suit alleges that her addiction fueled depression, anxiety, body dysmorphia – when someone see themselves as ugly or disfigured when they aren’t – and suicidal thoughts. TikTok and Snapchat settled with K.G.M. before trial for undisclosed sums, leaving Meta and Google as

Australia forces porn sites to block under-18s from Monday | National | purdueexponent.org

Australia's online regulator warned porn websites they must block under-18s from Monday under sweeping new restrictions to protect children. Some sites in Australia had already barred non-members on Friday and were refusing new registrations, days before being obliged to use age verification technology to keep out underage users. The new rules expand Australia's online child safety measures following its world-leading December 10 ban on children under 16 joining social media platforms. The crackdown restricts child access to "age-inappropriate content" including pornography, high-impact violence, suicide and eating disorders. It covers porn websites, search engines, app stores, gaming providers and generative AI systems, including chatbots. "Make no mistake, where we see failures or foot-dragging, we will hold companies to account," eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said Friday. Failure to comply can bring penalties of up to Aus$49.5 million (US$35 million) per breach. "Users will be asked to confirm their age when accessing age-restricted material on pornography websites and services," eSafety said. "Clicking a button that says 'I am 18 years or older' is no longer sufficient. This is consistent with similar efforts being implemented internationally," it said. - New safeguards - Inman Grant said society had long agreed that age barriers were

Behind the Lens: An Inside Look at the VFX of Sinners – – CUA Tower

Image Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures By Luis Zonenberg The following includes quotes from an event hosted by the Q&A Agency.  As Oscars season draws to a close, many are curious to see which film will take home the coveted award for Best Picture. While it might seem that Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another is geared up to win, there are other films that could swoop in by surprise. None stick out more than Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, which made history with its 16 Oscar nominations! The press tour is currently underway, with Coogler and many of the film’s cast and crew sharing all the praise and awards the film has already received.  In the midst of Sinners’ Oscar campaign, some of the crew decided to make a pitstop for a webinar hosted by the Q&A agency via Zoom. The Q&A agency is a platform founded by Adam S. Gordon, a Tony-nominated producer for many Broadway plays like Kinky Boots, Pippin, and The Color Purple. He founded the agency with the intention of connecting film and TV fans with cast and crew members of many different film productions.  I was fortunate enough to attend one such event on February
