Original negative for Romero's Day of the Dead, long thought missing, has been found and is being restored for 4K UHD release #horror

Scream Factory Resurrects Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD For 4K UHD Restoration
Good news, zombie fans - the original film elements for George A. Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD have officially been unearthed by Scream Factory, with a 4K UHD restoration coming soon.

I also wrote up a post about biking to work! I definitely want to do this more. Kind of bummed I need to drive tomorrow as I have some errands to run after work (and have to bring home a 27" monitor) but I'll bike into work again this coming week!

Complete harmonic metrics and subharmonic functions on the unit disc
Let $X$ be a Riemann surface, $K_X \rightarrow X$ the canonical bundle, and $T_X\rightarrow X$ the dual bundle of the canonical bundle. For each integer $r \geq 2$, each $q \in H^0(K_X^r)$, and each choice of the square root $K_X^{1/2}$ of the canonical bundle, we obtain a Higgs bundle $(\mathbb{K}_r,Φ(q))$, which is called a cyclic Higgs bundle. A diagonal harmonic metric $h = (h_1, \dots, h_r)$ on a cyclic Higgs bundle yields $r-1$-Hermitian metrics $H_1, \dots, H_{r-1}$ on $T_X$, while $h_1…

Any of you old fogeys remember #ShariLewis and #Lambchop? A new documentary is coming out this weekend. Says here Shari had a drunk Lambchop routine she’d do at nightclubs, and that she’d order lamb at restaurants just to freak people out.

The Surprising Secrets of Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop: From Playboy to Dirty Jokes
A revealing chat with the team behind a new documentary—and a certain sassy sock puppet herself—about who the woman behind all those beloved children’s shows really was.

SU(1,1) coherent states for the Dunkl- Klein-Gordon equation in its canonical form
Using representation-theoretic techniques associated with the $\mathfrak{su}(1,1)$ symmetry algebra, we construct Perelomov coherent states for the Dunkl-Klein-Gordon equation in its canonical form, which is free of first-order Dunkl derivatives. Our analysis is restricted to the even-parity sector and to the regime where the curvature constant $R$ is much smaller than the system's kinetic energy. The equation under consideration emerges from a matrix-operator framework based on Dirac gamma mat…

A Note on Constructive Canonical Splitter Strategies in Nowhere Dense Graph Classes
The radius-$r$ splitter game is played on a graph $G$ between two players: Splitter and Connector. In each round, Connector selects a vertex $v$, and the current game arena is restricted to the radius-$r$ neighborhood of $v$. Then Splitter removes a vertex from this restricted subgraph. The game ends, and Splitter wins, when the arena becomes empty. Splitter aims to end the game as quickly as possible, while Connector tries to prolong it for as long as possible. The splitter game was introduced…

Fast Distributed Nash Equilibrium Seeking in Monotone Games
This work proposes a novel distributed approach for computing a Nash equilibrium in convex games with merely monotone and restricted strongly monotone pseudo-gradients. By leveraging the idea of the centralized operator extrapolation method presented in [5] to solve variational inequalities, we develop the algorithm converging to Nash equilibria in games, where players have no access to the full information but are able to communicate with neighbors over some communication graph. The convergenc…

Distributed Integrated Sensing, Localization, and Communications over LEO Satellite Constellations
Low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations are rapidly becoming essential enablers of next-generation wireless systems, offering global broadband access, high-precision localization, and reliable sensing beyond terrestrial coverage. However, the inherent limitations of individual LEO satellites, including restricted power, limited antenna aperture, and constrained onboard processing, hinder their ability to meet the growing demands of 6G applications. To address these challenges, this artic…

The CCF AATC 2025: Speech Restoration Challenge
Real-world speech communication is often hampered by a variety of distortions that degrade quality and intelligibility. While many speech enhancement algorithms target specific degradations like noise or reverberation, they often fall short in realistic scenarios where multiple distortions co-exist and interact. To spur research in this area, we introduce the Speech Restoration Challenge as part of the China Computer Federation (CCF) Advanced Audio Technology Competition (AATC) 2025. This chall…

Shannon entropy for harmonic metrics on cyclic Higgs bundles II
Let $X$ be a Riemann surface and $K_X \rightarrow X$ the canonical bundle. For each integer $r \geq 2$, each $q \in H^0(K_X^r)$, and each choice of the square root $K_X^{1/2}$ of the canonical bundle, we obtain a Higgs bundle, which is called a cyclic Higgs bundle. A diagonal harmonic metric $h = (h_1, \dots, h_r)$ on a cyclic Higgs bundle yields $r-1$-Hermitian metrics $H_1, \dots, H_{r-1}$ on $K_X^{-1} \rightarrow X$, while $h_1$, $h_r$, and $q$ yield a degenerate Hermitian metric $H_r$ on $K…
