Rosalía Berghain Live

I thought the official video of Berghain by Rosalía (feat. Björk & Yves Tumor) was great — “I don’t even know what this is — classical pop? surrealist orchestral?” — and this recent live performance from the Brit Awards takes the song to the next level. I loved it. (via kenzie)

Apple Still Has Jessica Chastain’s ‘The Savant’ on Ice, Seven Months After It Was Set to Debut

macstories.net/news/coming-soon-whats-next-on-apple-tv-and-apple-arcade-in-april-2026/

John Voorhees, at MacStories:

It’s a new month and you know what that means: time for a roundup of everything coming to Apple TV and Apple Arcade for April 2026.

What’s still not coming: Jessica Chastain’s political thriller The Savant, originally set for September, but rescheduled for “at a later date” out of cowardice.

Apple’s “at a later date” is looking more and more like Trump’s “in two weeks”.

Can JavaScript Escape a CSP Meta Tag Inside an Iframe?

Research: Can JavaScript Escape a CSP Meta Tag Inside an Iframe?

In trying to build my own version of Claude Artifacts I got curious about options for applying CSP headers to content in sandboxed iframes without using a separate domain to host the files. Turns out you can inject <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy"...> tags at the top of the iframe content and they'll be obeyed even if subsequent untrusted JavaScript tries to manipulate them.

This Is Us

The commander of NASA’s Artemis II mission to the Moon, Reid Wiseman, took this photo of the Earth as the spacecraft speeds away our planet.

There are two auroras (top right and bottom left) and zodiacal light (bottom right) is visible as the Earth eclipses the Sun.

That is so cool. Worth clicking through to see the high-resolution image.

I saved a doomed Windows laptop by embracing Linux

Two weeks ago I set aside my M4 MacBook Air and picked up a nine-year-old ThinkPad. It's one of an estimated 200 to 400 million Windows 10 PCs that don't meet Microsoft's requirements for Windows 11. When Microsoft officially ended support for Windows 10 in October, it became "obsolete." The solution, according to Microsoft, is […]

“If Artemis II is successful, the astronauts will be the first humans to reach the moon’s orbit in more than 50 years, and their path around its far side will take them farther into the universe than any human being has previously traveled.”

Artemis II Crew on Way to Moon

512pixels.net/2026/04/artemis-ii-crew-on-way-to-moon/

Great roundup of links from Stephen Hackett:

The crew is made up of Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen. They are now on their way to the moon, set to return in 10 days. Their rocket may be the product of a hugely-flawed program, but right now, that doesn’t matter. They are getting us closer to returning to the lunar surface than we’ve been in 50 years. That’s worth celebrating.
