"I thought I had lost the capacity to feel certain emotions. Then I started working with dogs." Jamie Silvonek writes for Prison Journalism Project about her experiences raising and training service dogs while being incarcerated at the State Correctional Institution at Muncy, Pa. "Prison is desensitizing, leeching us of our capacity to feel anything other than numbness ... Being loved by a dog is a gift I am grateful to receive every day, even while in prison."

French animated film “Mars Express” draws inspiration from Japanese classics such as “Ghost in the Shell” and “Akira” for a sharp, cyberpunk ride that feels familiar yet entirely its own. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2026/01/15/film/mars-express-anime-influence/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #anime #jeremieperin

Why We Don't Use AI | Yarn Spinner

Yarn Spinner doesn’t use the technology that’s currently being called AI. We don’t have generative AI features in the product, and we don’t use code generation tools to build it, and we don’t accept contributions we know contain generated material. Let’s talk about why.
