Sony is working on a Metal Gear Solid movie directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, the directors behind Final Destination: Bloodlines, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

A few years ago, Oscar Isaac had been attached to play Solid Snake in an MGS film, but this news makes me think that now isn’t happening.

Volkswagen ends ID.4 production in the US.

VW is swapping the electric compact SUV with the gas guzzling Atlas at its Chattanooga factory, right in the midst of a global oil crisis. The automaker says it will continue to sell ID.4s in the US while it still has inventory, and promises future version of the EV for the US market — with no timeline attached. The ID.4 is the latest casualty of the Trump administration’s knee-capping of the EV market in the US.

The European Service Module is guiding Artemis II back to Earth.

On its way to and from visiting the Moon, the 33 engines of the ESA’s European Service Module are keeping Orion on track, as explained in this video. The crew has also tested manual piloting and plans another demonstration tonight at about 10:55PM.

The module’s last correction burn will happen before it separates from the crew capsule ahead of a scheduled splashdown Friday night at 8:07PM ET off the coast of San Diego.

So, even if malware steals your browser cookies, they should be useless to remote hackers. MacOS support is coming soon.

The looting of the US continues.

The dismantling of the US Forest Service is going to be devastating in a way we can’t yet calculate. USFS manages an enormous amount of land across 44 states and conducts useful public research. No more! The Trump admin has decided we don’t need any of that science and is “reorganizing” the agency to be closer to interests that want to privatize our public lands, while shutting down a ton of research centers. One step closer to a Trump hotel appearing on our sacred public lands.
