I watched "Thief" (1981), directed by Michael Mann. Sort of a heist movie, sort of a mob movie, but aspires to be a Cassavetes movie. An interesting mix, and really well shot. Ryan Coogler said this was the film that made "wet-downs" a thing, and judging by all of the wet streets & sidewalks, I believe it.
Features Willie Nelson in a minor role. Also features a soundtrack by Tangerine Dream.

Movie still from "Thief". Frank, played by James Cann, walks through his car dealership lot as cars behind him burn in bright flames. Strings of electric lights are above, and the lights are reflected in the bodies of the cars, including Frank's vehicle in the foreground.

The hidden ways light at night damages your brain, mood, and metabolism
Neuroscientist Dr. Randy J. Nelson explores how artificial light at night disrupts our bodies, from immune health to mood. His work bridges lab research, clinical trials, and everyday solutions while mentoring future scientists.

Here are my favourites from the National Portrait Gallery's Portrait Award 2025. It's a fantastic selection this year, and free to see as always.

Mother, by Diego José Aznar Remón Composed in muted tones, with momentary flashes of pink, this portrait of the artist's wife and son shows them on an unkempt bed, the exhausted mother asleep, the baby awake and looking directly at the viewer. It is a moment of gorgeous intimacy.
The Echo - Self-Portrait, by Pippa Hale-Lynch This self-portrait has the quality of a doubly exposed photograph, or one that has slipped and smudged in the process of development. Your eye slides over the detail, unable to lock on. Her face is pale, but with flushed cheeks, against a black background. The painting explores themes of solitude and grief stemming from the loss of her mother.
Ukrainian Girl, by Nelson Hernandez A female figure with her back to the viewer stands at a window, through which shines a wintry light illuminating individual strands of her light blonde hair. Chilean artist Nelson Hernandez's spectral portrait of his Ukrainian friend, Kseniia, captures a brief moment in time: 'I was moved by her stillness as she gazed out the window. Suddenly, the drawing in her hoodie evoked in me a scene of war, a metaphor of her past and the burden she carries.'
Portrait of a Sculptor, by Dide Blasting out bright red, the surface of Dide's portrait of the sculptor Laurence Edwards seems alive with a kinetic, electric energy. The sculpture sits in a brightly patterned armchair, looking directly at the viewer, with legs crossed and grubby boots prominent. It explores 'the messy plaster-splattered existence of artists in their studios'.

Numerical effects on the stripping of dark matter and stars in IllustrisTNG galaxy groups and clusters
The stellar haloes and intra-cluster light around galaxies are crucial test beds for dark matter (DM) physics and galaxy formation models. We consider the role that the numerical resolution plays in the modelling of these systems by studying the stripping of satellites in the IllustrisTNG cosmological simulations. We focus on host haloes of total halo mass $M_\mathrm{200c}=10^{12-15}M_{\odot}$ and satellites of stellar mass $>10^{7}$$M_{\odot}$, and compare stellar halo / satellite properties a…

One of my most useful tools these days are things that take screenshots. Greenshot, a Windows tool with excellent usability. And Powertools Text Extractor which lets me OCR bits of text on the screen. Usability is important here: press one button and stuff is copied to clipboard.

Depression as a disorder of distributional coding
Major depressive disorder persistently stands as a major public health problem. While some progress has been made toward effective treatments, the neural mechanisms that give rise to the disorder remain poorly understood. In this Perspective, we put forward a new theory of the pathophysiology of depression. More precisely, we spotlight three previously separate bodies of research, showing how they can be fit together into a previously overlooked larger picture. The first piece of the puzzle is …
