NOW - Trump on Iran War: "It's for legal reasons I say military op, because as a military operation I don't need any approvals. As a war you're supposed to get approval from Congress, something like that. So I call it a military operation."

WATCH: A massive fire has been burning for several hours at Hawkeye Pride Egg Farm near Corwith, Iowa; casualties remain unclear.

Noelia Castillo Ramos was euthanised yesterday at around 6 p.m. local time at Hospital Residencia Sant Camil near Barcelona. In 2022, Noelia was placed in a state institution amid family difficulties. There, she was gang-raped by a group of North African migrants. The trauma broke Noelia. Months later, she attempted suicide by jumping from the fifth floor of a building. She survived the fall but was left paralysed. Instead of offering long-term support, the Spanish authorities offered assisted suicide as a solution. Yesterday, despite a large group of people showing up at the hospital to support her, Noelia sadly decided to end her life. Her rapists were never arrested and remain free men today. RIP Noelia. We will not forget you. 💔

A big problem with Project Hail Mary: the science and engineering is so dumbed-down that it's borderline comical. Problems get solved almost magically, with no process or iteration. He meets alien life, shows it a clock, and five minutes later is having conversations. (His laptop magically translated the language, I guess.) Grace is charming (unbelievably so) but isn't shown as a good scientist. He's shown as a fantastically-lucky scientist. The Big Bang Theory had a similar problem, pretending to be a show for smart, techy people but mostly just winking at it. In other words it's pop science when the world desperately needs hard engineering to be celebrated. Still a good movie, but not nearly the classic it could and should have been.
