IMDb Adds Intimacy Coordination, Dubbing and More Categories
IMDb adds 12 new professional credit categories including choreography and intimacy coordination.

Sans revenir sur la pertinence de l'accord en lui-même, c'est quand même incohérent :
- Si tu en veux Š l'Etat français, tu retires les drapeaux français ;
- Sinon, ça devient un message politique sur ton hostilité Š l'Europe et ça s'éloigne des revendications déclarées.
Mais quand on voit les "Frexit" affichés sur les tracteurs, on peut avoir une idée de la réponse.

"L'État français se fout de notre gueule" : des drapeaux européens retirés sur des mairies par la Coordination
L'opération a été menée dans la journée de ce dimanche 11 janvier. Près de 70 drapeaux européens ont été enlevés de façades de mairies du Loir-et-Cher. La Coordination rurale entend ainsi protester contre la ratification...

The US supreme court is set on Tuesday to hear arguments
in a Republican-led challenge on free speech grounds to
federal limits on spending by political parties in coordination with electoral candidates
in a case involving JD Vance.
Donald Trump’s administration has thrown its support behind the challenge,
brought by plaintiffs including two Republican committees and the vice-president,
who was running for the US Senate in Ohio when the case began.

Jack Posobiec, a new Pentagon press corps member, seems to be working in coordination with the Pentagon to threaten a journalist writing about a DoD official (Dan Friedman/Mother Jones)

I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.

The UN climate summits are working – just not in the way their critics think.
Still a place to express political will, but more as a framework to encourage ever-increasing ambition, coordination and accountability.

Sharing the benefits of grid-scale batteries and solar/wind by trading in western US. The current 15 minute market in California Now going to day ahead market.
(I think made possible with recent massive grid-scale batteries allows evening out of renewables)
California now runs 5pm-8pm electricity use on batteries. Turn off more plants cuz can plan for a full day.
Thoughtful article on wholesale electricity grid coordination markets. Sounds dry, but cool:

FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves
In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

Who could have predicted that having a masked domestic-military force which routinely refuses to identify itself, would have downsides.

FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves
In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings, and sexual assaults in several states,
warns a law enforcement bulletin issued last month by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The bureau urges agencies to ensure officers clearly identify themselves and to cooperate when civilians ask to verify an officer’s identity—including by allowing calls to a local police precinct

What happens when you pair solar panels with mini nuclear reactors? Chinese researchers just cracked the code.
Their new microgrid framework combines photovoltaics with small modular reactors, using AI to balance both in real time. The results are striking: 18.7% lower costs, 37.1% fewer emissions, and 98% reliability.
The secret? Smart coordination between battery storage and hydrogen production that adapts on the fly.

When solar meets next-gen nuclear
Scientists in China have proposed a novel scheduling framework for microgrids based on hybrid PV and a small modular nuclear reactors. The framework uses multi-objective distributionally robust optimization with a real-time reinforcement learning mechanism and is reportedly able to reduce operational costs by 18.7%.
