Singularity
02/10/26
Milo Chiavarino
There’s a moment in Singularity that stays with you long after the screen goes dark, a whisper of consciousness where you least expect it, and a reminder of how fragile our assumptions about intelligence really are. This short film from director Milo Chiavarino captures something rare: a science fiction story that feels both deeply intimate and unsettlingly plausible.
On its surface, Singularity might seem like another piece of futuristic animation, gorgeous CGI, meticulous world-building, and a setting that brushes up against Near-Future Tokyo vibes. But what gives the film its force isn’t just the visuals. SEE MORE >>>

GLOBAL FRICTION: ABU DHABI STALEMATE, IRANIAN EXECUTION WAVE, AND THE VENEZUELAN OIL PIVOT
February 10, 2026 - International Coverage
World news from Feb 4–10, 2026: Peace talks in Abu Dhabi stall over Ukrainian security guarantees; Iran initiates a wave of executions to quell ongoing unrest; and the new Venezuelan administration signs a landmark oil production agreement with U.S. energy firms.
The high-stakes peace summit in Abu Dhabi entered its second week with negotiations reportedly reaching a "frozen state." While both Moscow and Kyiv have expressed a desire for a long-term "energy truce," the talks stalled on February 8th over the specifics of security guarantees.
Ukraine is demanding a NATO-style "Coalition of the Willing" to patrol a proposed 20-mile demilitarized zone, a move the Kremlin has labeled an "unacceptable provocation" and an infringement on its perceived sphere of influence. U.S. envoys have attempted to bridge the gap by proposing a technocratic monitoring mission led by neutral nations, but trust remains at an all-time low. READ FULL NEWS ARTICLE >>>

Planet of the Apes vs. Fantastic Four #1

Two Sci-Fi Titans Clash in a Crossover That Is Way More Than Just Monkey Business
Let’s be honest: when you hear "Planet of the Apes vs. Fantastic Four," your first instinct might be to check if it’s April 1st. It sounds like the kind of Silver Age madness that Stan Lee would have dreamed up over lunch, or perhaps a fever dream from the depths of a fan-fiction forum. But here we are in 2026, and Marvel has not only made this crossover a reality but has also made it genuinely fantastic.
Writer Marc Guggenheim understands exactly what this book needs to be. He doesn't waste time trying to ground the premise in gritty realism. Instead, he leans into the high-concept sci-fi weirdness that connects these two franchises. The story kicks off with a classic Reed Richards experiment gone wrong (as they often do), hurling Marvel's First Family through the time stream and crash-landing them not just in the future, but in the future where humanity has fallen, and apes rule supreme.

If there is one dish that captures the rustic elegance of the Portuguese Atlantic, it is Polvo à Lagareiro. This isn't just a meal; it’s a theater of textures.
You have the tender, purple-hued octopus, the salty "punched" potatoes (batatas a murro), and a sea of golden, garlic-infused olive oil.
The secret to a perfect Lagareiro is the contrast: the octopus must be buttery-soft on the inside but slightly charred and crispy on the outside from the oven’s high heat. And the potatoes?
They must be "punched" to break the skin, allowing that liquid gold olive oil to seep into every crevice.
Old-timers in the Azores swear by dropping a clean wine cork into the pot while boiling the octopus to make it tender. While science says it's the enzymes (or just luck!), the real trick is freezing the octopus first. Freezing breaks the muscle fibers, ensuring you never end up with "rubbery" tentacles.

In the medieval courts of old, the Jester was the only person allowed to tell the King he was a fool without losing his head.
Fast forward to the digital age, and the stakes haven't changed; only the methods of execution have.
Instead of the axe, we have the "ban," the "demonetization," and the "content warning."At the Free Speech Guild, we believe that satire isn’t just entertainment; it’s a vital sign check for a healthy democracy. If you can’t laugh at it, you’re likely living under it.
