While Adult Swim revealed Rick and Morty Season 8's premiere date on April Fool's Day, rest assured that the news is no joke.

Rick and Morty returns May 25, and to celebrate, Adult Swim also released a distinctly Easter-themed first look (along with an actual live-action April Fool's Day special).

In the teaser, Rick (voiced by Ian Cardoni) and Morty (voiced by Harry Belden) find themselves in what Morty calls a "Wicker Man looking place," full of burning bunny effigies and people in robes and rabbit masks. Apparently, this is German Easter.

The pair discover a foreboding stained glass window of a terrifying Easter bunny-human hybrid, which hides a massive alien Easter egg. Also on the hunt for the egg? Space Christians, who don't take kindly to Rick and Morty's presence. Cue a scanning standoff (and some choice insults by Rick).

Rick and Morty Season 8 premieres May 25 at 11 p.m. ET on Adult Swim, and streams on Max and Hulu Sept. 1.

Boston Dynamics first revealed Atlas in 2013 and has since been sharing updates on the robot’s evolving abilities. We’ve seen Atlas hop, run, and even flip across our screens. Now, the humanoid is not only stepping behind the camera—quite literally—to explore how robotics can assist on film sets but is also being put to the test in car manufacturing.

Two branches of the Karate Kid franchise intertwine in the upcoming Karate Kid: Legends.

The film stars Ralph Macchio as original Karate Kid (and Cobra Kai sensei) Daniel LaRusso, as well as Jackie Chan as the formidable Mr. Han from the 2010 remake. The two join forces to mentor kung fu prodigy Li Fong (Ben Wang).

Much of the new Karate Kid: Legends trailer focuses on Li, who’s just moved to New York City with his mother. While he finds a new friend at his prestigious school, he also draws the ire of a bully who also happens to be - what else? - a local karate champion.

As Li sets out to take down his bully and conquer the Five Boroughs karate tournament, Mr. Han recruits Daniel from California to help him train Li. Together, the pair hope to blend their fighting styles and unleash a new karate legend. Grueling training and epic fights ensue.

Karate Kid: Legends also stars also stars Joshua Jackson, Sadie Stanley, and Ming-Na Wen.

Directors Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou delivered one of 2023's best, freshest horror films in Talk to Me. In 2025, they spin a new chilling tale with the upcoming Bring Her Back, and the trailer looks downright terrifying.

Starring Billy Barratt, Sora Wong, and Sally Hawkins, Bring Her Back's official synopsis from distributor A24 reads, "A brother and sister uncover a terrifying ritual at the secluded home of their new foster mother."

Hawkins plays the role of the foster mother, and the trailer shows her engaging in all sorts of foreboding activities, from wiping her bloody hands all over a window to claiming she can bring someone back from the dead. She even claims she's "spoken with an angel."

"It's a beautiful angel," she continues. "It does beautiful things." Not spooky at all!

The trailer also features camcorder footage of what appears to be a resurrection ritual, complete with a chalk circle and a bloody corpse taking a new breath. Consider us unnerved — and intrigued.

Bring Her Back hits theaters May 30.

OpenAI's new image generator is available for all users in ChatGPT and Sora, whether you're a subscriber or using the free version. However, the move comes just days after widespread backlash to the online wave of Studio Ghibli-style AI art generated by the tool.

CEO Sam Altman announced the rollout in a post on X on Tuesday, April 1, a date that instantly makes journalists think everything is a prank. However, the news is indeed true, with the GPT-4o model-driven image generation feature now open for anyone to use. I was able to access the generator without a ChatGPT Plus subscription at the time of writing.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Altman also mentioned in an X post that users without GhatGPT Plus will soon get rate limits of three image generations per day.

OpenAI's native image generation tool was announced on March 25, with Altman leading a livestream demonstration of its capabilities. However, after Studio Ghibli-inspired AI art generated by OpenAI's tool spread across the internet after launch, large-scale backlash erupted online, with social media users calling out both the potential copyright issues and Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki's longstanding public hatred of AI.

SEE ALSO: OpenAI responds to criticism of ChatGPT's Studio Ghibli-style images

OpenAI responded to the criticism, leaning on the company's insistence on "creative freedom." The definition of such freedom in AI image generation could cause issues down the track, particularly where OpenAI draws the line on "offensive" images. As Mashable tech reporter Cecily Mauran pointed out, Altman explained both during the demo of the AI model and later in an X post, that the company wants people to "really let people create what they want."

"What we'd like to aim for is that the tool doesn't create offensive stuff unless you want it to, in which case within reason it does," Altman's post read. "As we talk about in our model spec, we think putting this intellectual freedom and control in the hands of users is the right thing to do, but we will observe how it goes and listen to society."

Now the tool is available for everyone to use for free, the problems OpenAI are already facing could increase in scale.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Great news for anyone with an internet connection and the ability to yearn: the internet's boyfriends have been cast as members of The Beatles in a series of four films about the fab four.

Normal People and Gladiator II star Paul Mescal will play Paul McCartney and Harris Dickinson of Babygirl and Triangle of Sadness fame will play John Lennon.

The four films will tell the individual stories of each band member. "Each one is told from the particular perspective of just one of the guys," Mendes explained at CinemaCon, per the BBC. "They intersect in different ways — sometimes overlapping, sometimes not."

The Sony Pictures production will be produced by Sam Mendes, Pippa Harris, Julie Pastor, and Alexandra Derbyshire.

Now that Donald Trump is a few months into his second presidency, Jon Stewart wants to check in on his promise to bring "accountability back," sharing a clip of Trump repeating the classic statement, "The buck stops here."

As you can probably guess, what follows is a series of clips of the president denying knowledge of everything from the now infamous Signal group chat leak to the launch of TRUMP coin.

"'I don't know much about it, other than I launched it,'" repeats a stunned Stewart in the Daily Show video above. "Crypto coin, nuclear missiles. I don't know much about it, I just launch 'em. 'Hey, Mr. President, could you take this?' 'Yeah, what's it to do with?' 'Just launch it.' You start to wonder: Does the buck stop anywhere with this dude?"

What follows is an even longer monologue clip of Trump denying knowledge of pretty much anything he doesn't want to talk to a reporter about.

"So many things that Trump seemingly has no involvement in! Is it possible he's been severed?" asks Stewart, before bringing up a clip of Trump dancing. "Is that what all the choreography and merriment is about?"

There's allegedly been a significant data breach at Elon Musk's X, formerly known as Twitter.

Over the weekend, the cybersecurity team at SafetyDetectives discovered a post on the prominent hacking message board BreachForums from a poster named ThinkingOne. The post included a 34 GB .CSV file containing more than 201 million entries of data reportedly belonging to X users. This data includes plenty of metadata on each account, plus the email address connected to the account.

SafetyDetectives said they checked a sample of users included in the leak and found that the information was correct and that the emails listed were valid.

Where did the leak come from?

It's unclear exactly how the breach occurred. This particular leak affects more than 200 million users. However, roughly 2.8 billion X accounts are reportedly affected, potentially making this one of the largest social media data leaks of all time.

According to ThinkingOne, there was a massive data breach at Musk's X earlier this year, which saw data belonging to more than 2.8 billion X users leaked in a massive 400 GB file. In their post, ThinkingOne claims that there is “no sign that X or the general public is aware of the largest social media breach ever” and that they “tried contacting X via several methods with no response.”

This particular data breach did not disclose any sensitive information about X users. In fact, many of those accounts probably don't even belong to real users. Based on current estimates from analytics platforms like Statista, X likely has around 400 million global users. Billions of those leaked X accounts likely belonged to bots, spammers, or individuals who deactivated or deleted their own accounts.

However, the leak allegedly includes plenty of metadata belonging to real accounts. And that meta data contains information such as account creation dates, locations, current and former display names, tweet count, favorites count, and other similar details.

X data leak threat

On its own, this data may not seem like much of a threat to users. But ThinkingOne went ahead and cross-referenced this latest leak with data belonging to 209 million users from a 2023 X data breach. The older breach contained much less metadata from each account but did include the email address connected to each user, which is typically not made publicly available.

By doing this, ThinkingOne created a file on 201 million active users from the 2025 leak whose email addresses had previously been leaked.

With the email addresses and metadata combined, hackers could easily target X users with phishing emails, social engineering campaigns, and other scams.

X downplayed the first of the leaks mentioned in 2023 but has not yet confirmed or even acknowledged the alleged 2025 leak. Musk's social media platform X was just sold to Musk's own AI company, xAI, on Friday.
