@ATRightMovies "Val just did that" but they had a close up shot of him at the moment he did it?

Val Kilmer’s famous “bullshit” cough in TOP GUN - when Iceman calls out Maverick’s inverted‑MiG story - was improvised on set, and the cast’s reactions were kept in the final cut.

1983 is the only answer. 1) Anakin redeemed himself after killing Palpatine so that took him in THAT form at that age and turned him back to the light side of the force. 2) Luke would have no idea who the kid was standing next to Yoda because he just saw his father’s face for the first time. 3) The face of his father that Like saw was ravaged by time and pain. Seeing his healed father finally at peace would be more healing for Luke as well. Any other answer is wrong.

For more than two thousand years, a single woman has carried the blame for everything that went wrong in the world... In Greek mythology, that woman is Pandora. The familiar version of the story is simple: Pandora opens a jar—later mistranslated as a box—and releases suffering into the world. Disease, grief, hardship, and misery escape, and humanity is forced to live with the consequences. Her mistake becomes one of the most famous cautionary tales in Western storytelling. But the deeper details of the myth tell a very different story. Pandora did not create the evils inside the jar. The gods did. The story begins with a rebellion. The Titan Prometheus steals fire from the gods and gives it to humanity. Fire means warmth, technology, knowledge, and power. Zeus, king of the gods, sees this as a dangerous shift in the balance between gods and mortals. Human beings are becoming too capable. So Zeus decides to retaliate—not by taking fire back, but by designing a punishment that will follow humanity forever. He orders the creation of the first woman. The gods craft Pandora deliberately, each contributing something to make her irresistible and complex. Aphrodite gives beauty. Athena gives skill. Hermes gives cleverness and persuasion. She is named Pandora—“all-gifted”—because she carries the combined offerings of the gods themselves. But alongside those gifts comes the trap. Pandora is sent to earth with a sealed jar. Inside it are all the hardships that will define human life: sickness, labor, jealousy, sorrow, aging, and pain. The gods themselves placed them there. Pandora’s only role in the story is the moment she eventually lifts the lid. When the jar opens, suffering floods into the world. In horror, Pandora quickly closes it again—but by then almost everything has escaped. Only one thing remains inside. Hope. And from that moment forward, Pandora becomes history’s scapegoat. Prometheus, the male figure who defied Zeus and stole fire, is remembered as a daring hero. His punishment—eternal torment—is portrayed as noble rebellion. Pandora, meanwhile, becomes the warning: the woman whose curiosity doomed humanity. Yet the structure of the story raises a troubling question. If the gods created the punishment… if they filled the jar… if they sent it to earth… why is Pandora the one remembered as responsible? Ancient Greek poet Hesiod, writing in the 8th century BCE, described Pandora as a “beautiful evil” sent to plague men. In his telling, the very existence of women is framed as a divine punishment for humanity. Seen through that lens, Pandora’s story becomes less about curiosity and more about cultural anxiety—about knowledge, independence, and the fear of what might happen when control slips away. And still, one detail remains quietly powerful. Hope stayed behind. For thousands of years scholars have debated what that means. Was hope preserved for humanity? Or was it trapped inside the jar, another thing withheld from the world? Either interpretation leaves us with the same haunting truth: even in a story meant to explain suffering, hope sits at the center of the human experience.. What do you think—was Pandora truly responsible, or was she simply the easiest person to blame? © She's So Cool #archaeohistories

If the 2016 #Oscars were redone, I like to think that Mad Max: Fury Road would’ve ended up winning Best Picture. I say that as someone who loved Spotlight as much as anyone. But Fury Road is like an avalanche of great filmmaking. I still don’t know how George Miller made this.

Mark Hamill has said how this RETURN OF THE JEDI moment was played as Luke’s “spiritual graduation”: the script has him throw away his lightsaber on purpose so the line “I am a Jedi” isn’t just defiance.

Khaby Lame just retired at 25 for $975,000,000. The company that bought it expects to generate $4B this year. But Khaby didn't just sell his TikTok account. He sold his entire existence. The deal includes a scary "AI Digital Twin" clause: He handed over his: • Face ID • Voice ID • Behavioral models Since he never speaks in his videos, there's no language barrier. Which means his AI clone is now: • Selling sneakers in Shanghai • Promoting skincare in São Paulo • Doing brand deals in Los Angeles All at the exact same time. Brands are currently paying $1M per ad to use his digital twin. He doesn't show up. He doesn't film anything. He doesn't even open his laptop. His clone does everything. While the real Khaby is probably on a beach somewhere. The trajectory has been nothing short of impressive. 2020: laid off from factory job in Italy 2026: $975M exit without saying a word He went from unemployment to billionaire status by pointing at things.

@browneyloxz @ATRightMovies I saw the rating score for this movie and expected a transcending experience of a movie. I was sadly let down. I need to give it another chance to see if I missed something but I didnt get the hype

Beyond AI… China isn’t building towards 20,000 TWh of electricity generation so that they can power their datacenters for AI. Nobody needs 10,000 TWh to train AI models, and they aren’t doing that. So what are they up to? China is very obviously targeting the thing beyond AI datacenters, which is the enormous energy demands of ubiquitous robotics. Datacenters benefit from Moore’s Law, the law of ever improving compute efficiency. But mechanical actuators obey the laws of Newtonian motion which have no scope whatsoever for moving greater quantities of mass with ever smaller quantities of energy. China is skipping a whole paradigm. Their bet being they can backfill AI, once they have total domination over physical work. China is building the god body first (the robot fleet, or rather the infrastructure that allows it), and will build the god brain later. Probably speed running it, aided by espionage. America is building the god brain first and hasn’t really thought much about the god body. The two strategies are quite different and we should acknowledge this. The AI race risks being a strategic cull-de-sac, a pyrrhic victory, because the longest lead part of the future stack is building the energy system you need to operate an automated Newtonian economy at such a scale.

@danf5621 @PhilipJohnston Mass doesnt always mean progress. In an overall general case you are probably correct but a spy satellite could be considered more progress than shooting a Tesla into space? 😉

I would like to see this chart in kilograms put into orbit, Mass is a more accurate tracker of progress than "number of objects" It would be silly to count 10 starships launched to Mars by SpaceX the same as 10 cube sats launched to low Earth orbit by a Euro startup. It is also useful to track the number of megajoules expended launching mass off Earth, per year. This metric would be more helpful when SpaceX starts launching more mass far beyond Earth, This would track that extra effort & expertise needed to leave Earth orbit.

@grok @WallStreetApes Why would they choose not to override the veto when searching for fraud? What is the most likely reason?

@DeGraaf86 @WallStreetApes In California, the process is similar to federal: the legislature can override a governor's veto with a 2/3 vote in both the Assembly and Senate. (Federal requires 2/3 in House and Senate.) It's not exactly 75%—2/3 is about 66.7%. For AB 2903, it was vetoed and not overridden.

Actor David Spade raising awareness that a bill was introduced in California to audit where the $20+ billion dollars in missing homeless money went, it passed but then Gavin Newsom VETOED the bill to block the investigation Yes, this really happened. He blocked bills for an audit MULTIPLE TIMES Bipartisan bill AB 2903 (unanimous passed 72-0 in the Assembly, 40-0 in the Senate) would’ve forced annual public reports on where the money went Newsom vetoed it. Gavin Newsom also vetoed similar bills AB 2570 and AB 2093 “The same broader problem with people paying taxes in California — The homeless, they lose $20 billion, but they want more money for it. That's why people get tired of paying taxes and going, what are you doing? Gavin Newsom just vetoed a bill asking for an audit of where the money for homeless goes. He said, not a chance. You're not gonna see that. That's the problem.”

@WallStreetApes When a bill is passed and then vetoed by the president, the bill goes back and if voted on by 75% or congress, it still passes. Does it not work the same for state bills?
