Trump lashes out at Israel and Iran as he accuses both of violating the ceasefire

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cn7ze4vmk2pt

Why work towards peace, when fighting for war seems more desirable?

The Fabric of Spacetime with Neil deGrasse Tyson https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=as49_LNf3VA

The H.G. Wells version of The Time Machine didn't generate a gravity well. Officially in science, there is no cosmic TAILOR for the fabric of space-time. 

However, a Mr. TAYLOR was selected to star in The_Time_Machine_(1960_film)

http://www.rodtaylorsite.com/timemachine.shtml

https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/93370/the-time-machine#overview

Then, Malcolm McDowell who was born Malcolm John TAYLOR, would star in Time_After_Time_(1979_film).

Charlton_Heston would also star in a time travel movie of sorts. He played astronaut George TAYLOR in Planet_of_the_Apes_(1968_film).

Then Simon_Wells directed The_Time_Machine_(2002_film).

IBM says it will build a practical quantum supercomputer by 2029

 https://www.newscientist.com/article/2483465-ibm-says-it-will-build-a-practical-quantum-supercomputer-by-2029

It's better to have humans at least sort of controlling quantum-computers, rather than QC controlling humanity. Otherwise, it could become something like the Rehoboam QC in WW controlling humanity and allowing advanced robots to be more free than the people.

The 1945 crash into the ESB was still in recent memory at the time.

7 fugitives remain on the run after New Orleans prison TOILET break

 https://www.foxnews.com/us/7-fugitives-remain-run-after-nola-prison-break-inside-job-suspected

A New Orleans toilet jailbreak isn't a daily occurrence. 

"The 10 inmates exited the jail through a wall behind a toilet at 1:01 a.m., according to Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson. They then made their way off the property through a loading dock door and scaled the perimeter wall using blankets to protect themselves from the barbed wire, Phipps said. From there, they had a clear path to railroad tracks and then the interstate."

"Photos released by the sheriff's office show the inside of a cell where the escape is believed to have happened. A large hole was cut behind a toilet with phrases such as "We Innocent" and "To Easy LoL" written above it."


It's not been reported if any of them took a dump before their escape. There would be plenty of suspense, pressure and excitement, therefore a potential to release some excrement. Once all of them are captured they can all be sleeping next to a toilet to lament with their excrement!

Battlefield Earth (2000 film)

Battlefield_Earth (B.E.) is an interesting movie and it's not quite as bad as several other Sci-Fi movies. In some ways, Starship_Invasions might be a little better than B.E., but its a very low budget movie. Battle_Beyond_the_Stars is a better movie and it was also a low budget production.

Space:_1999 or Space 2099?

While a key moment in the storyline was set in 1999, perhaps by 2099 a similar size moon-base might be well established by 2099. A huge powerplant would be necessary and a waste disposal plant would also have to be established.

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch is being removed from the Netflix streaming service

Just like an e-book, anything digital can easily be discontinued, banned or deleted. More people are starting to realize that its good to have some hard copies of books, DVDs & Blu-ray Discs incase its censored or becomes FORBIDDEN. Canceled streams and deleted ebooks can be so frustrating.

The Fahrenheit_451 story and its adaptations, is about banned books and even people that are burned away.

The Phantom Empire (1935)

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e0/Phantom-Empire-Poster-1935.jpg

The_Phantom_Empire featuring Gene-Autry, was the first Sci-Fi Western movie. High technology is depicted in an underground civilization. Unfortunately, the special effects and props back then were very limited. This should be updated not only with CGI, but practical effects and sets.

Serenity is a good movie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serenity_(2005_film)#Plot

Cowboys_and_Aliens is a very entertaining movie from 2011. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboys_and_Aliens#Plot

Battle_Beyond_the_Stars and Outland are two very different movies, but they are both variations of the Space_Western


The Truman Show vs. Paradise TV Series

https://www.tiktok.com/@popculturebrain/video/7480571234313375022

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradise_(2025_TV_series)#Premise

This isn't exactly an underground bunker version of The_Truman_Show. That's because the inhabitants seem to know that they are essentially in an underground sound_stage bunker, with adjustable roof (sky) lights. Fortunately for them, they aren't in a totalitarian situation like THX 1138, but they are stuck down there, nonetheless. They don't have enough perspective and pertinent information about their situation. Indeed, part of their reality is a LIE.
