Fans of movie star Marilyn Monroe gathered at the TCL Chinese Theatre forecourt to mark what organizers billed as Hollywood's official celebration of her 100th birthday, centered on the enduring star's historic handprints and footprints

Former BioWare producer Mark Darrah thinks the gaming industry should explore product placement to help pay for game development and rely less on live-service monetization. Discussing how expensive AAA games have become to make, Darrah said the industry needs more revenue streams besides selling games, DLC, microtransactions, and battle passes. “Not every game can be a live service,” he said, warning that if the trend continues, most big-budget games could end up built around ongoing monetization instead of delivering a complete experience from the start. Darrah noted that movies have multiple revenue streams, including product placements and brand deals. He believes video games could do something similar to cover development costs without constantly asking players to spend more after buying the game.

Quinta Brunson is starring in and producing a new Betty Boop movie through her company Fifth Chance Productions with Fleischer Studios. The story explores the origins and growth of the 1930s cartoon icon from creator Max Fleischer’s perspective. Mark Fleischer, Max’s grandson and CEO of Fleischer Studios, is the executive producer. This is Betty Boop’s first movie as the star since her original cartoons.

🚨 Trump Zings Mark Cuban on Stage! At today’s healthcare affordability event, a reporter pointed out how “remarkable” it was to see President Trump and Mark Cuban together — especially after Cuban endorsed Kamala Harris in 2024. Trump didn’t miss a beat: “Well, he made a mistake. It was a big mistake.” 😂 Mark Cuban was right there on stage with Trump, Dr. Oz, RFK Jr., and other officials as the President focused on delivering results for the American people. Results over grudges. Classic Trump. Will this kind of unity actually move the needle on healthcare costs? (Video: AI)

BREAKING: Impulse Space Raises $500M Series D Reaching $1+ Billion in Total Funding to Build In-Space Mobility Infrastructure aka "Move Things in Space" Full interview w/ President & COO Eric Romo (@_Eric_Romo) (SpaceX Employee #13#) Founder & CEO Tom Mueller (@lrocket) (SpaceX Employee #1#): "We're building more than spacecraft: we're building the economic & technical engine that will power humanity's expansion into space. From Earth orbit to the Moon & beyond, the ability to move quickly, precisely, & affordably on orbit is the fundamental capability that will unlock a true space age." We cover: → The $500M raise → Mira: precision maneuvering → Helios: same-day delivery → Caravan: GEO rideshare → Commercial vs defense → Space Force demand → SpaceX origins → Hiring 200+ roles The Series D was co-led by @137ventures & BANNER VC. Additional participating investors include Founder’s Fund, Lux Capital, & Linse Capital.

Carney's constant rhetoric has resulted in this. We has purposely sabotaged our relationship with the US in order to appease his Euro Masters. "Colby's posts implicitly lay some blame for the U.S. move on Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's frequent statements about making alliances with countries other than the U.S., in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war and his calls for making Canada the 51st state. "We can no longer avoid the gaps between rhetoric and reality. Real powers must sustain our rhetoric with shared defense and security responsibilities," Colby wrote in a post linked to a transcript of Carney's headline-grabbing speech at this year's World Economic Forum in Davos."

Most teams think safety slows things down. In @GlobAICommunity's ‘Silicon Minds, Human Hearts’ with Sammy Deprez, Docker COO Mark Cavage explains how safety actually enables speed as agents run autonomously. If you’re figuring out how to move faster without losing control, watch here:

The Schrödinger Equation Can Fold Phase Into Geometry. Density is only half the story. Here, the quantum phase itself twists into moving helicoidal ribbons, while self-gravity from the Schrödinger-Poisson coupling bends and compresses the wavefield into glowing caustics and vortex singularities. Tiny white pearls mark places where the phase becomes undefined topological defects drifting through a self-generated gravitational landscape. #QuantumPhysics# #WaveFunction# #SchrodingerEquation# #ComputationalPhysics# #ScientificVisualization# #Mathematics#

I’d like to see how $BTC performs once SP500 has its final retrace this year before the bull run begins. The next drop in legacy assets this year will likely mark the pivot point for BTC to move toward new highs. We are indeed in a economic simulation.
