Neil Young says Tom Cruise's "Digger" is "the best film I have ever seen." "None of the reviews I have read describe this film adequately, in my opinion," Young wrote. "They seem to miss the overall effect and most of them are negative. This film lives in a world of art. It is its own best review. Don't read any other reviews and forget this one before you see 'Digger.' It cannot be seen as a Tom Cruise film - that would be misleading. I would describe it as a film of our times... I do not view this film as a commercial venture. Rather it is an artful film of our times. The things that are said in 'Digger' are a direct reflection of today's political and social world. The film is so full of artful expression and radical change ups, that it may be too much to take in for those expecting a commercial film like we are used to today." wp.me/pc8uak-1lHXy0

Fun Fact: Magnolia flowers are pollinated by beetles because the species is so ancient. They appeared on Earth before bees.

🇫🇷France is officially the first country to ban pesticides linked to killing bees.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
France's parliament has approved exemptions allowing the use of acetamiprid, a bee-killing pesticide previously banned, rather than imposing a new ban. bfmtv.com/economie/entre… bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

there was something beautiful about library checkout cards because you could literally see the history of human curiosity attached to a book. like a tiny ghost trail of strangers connected by the same story.

The Project Hail Mary team just dropped an official template to build Rocky’s transparent enclosure. Yes, you can actually make his little habitat using plastic sheets, cutting, folding and glue.

It really is time to start calling this out. AI may well have great benefits for science and medicine (let's hope so) but the arts, education, journalism and publishing sectors need to make clear that its application in these spheres is unacceptable. theguardian.com/books/2026/a…

Is AI the greatest art heist in history?

New technologies of reproduction are plundering the art world – and getting away with it

@PontifexApr 11
Prayer teaches us how to act. In prayer, our limited human possibilities are joined to the infinite possibilities of God. Thoughts, words and deeds then break the demonic cycle of evil and are placed at the service of the Kingdom of God. A Kingdom in which there is no sword, no drone, no vengeance, no trivialization of evil, no unjust profit, but only dignity, understanding and forgiveness. #PrayTogether #Peace
