The Hotlzman Shield in Dune is one of the perfect examples of adding a tiny thing to a setting to get a vibe you want out of it. In Dune's case: - Holtzman Shields stop fast moving objects. - Lasguns (particle beam guns in Dune) can cause a nuclear explosion if they hit a shield, so they're not commonly used. - Melee is the dominant form of combat, trying to strike slow to penetrate the shields. - Projectile weapons exist but they're designed around boring through or disrupting shields, but a skilled combatant can deflect the slow moving projectiles. - Heavy artillery can still kill shielded humans through sheer transfer of force or heat, which the shield can't block. - Anti-vehicle weapons are built around these principles because the vehicle might be shielded. Dune codified the idea of high tech sci-fi where you still have melee and the idea of "oh here's this piece of technobabble that let's me have what I want in my sci-fi setting." Gundam's Minovsky Particle and Mass Effect's Element Zero owe the Holtzman Shield their existence.

it’s crazy how Renly Baratheon’s last word was “fortnite”

Chappell Roan denies sending security guard after young fan: “I'm just gonna tell my half of the story of what happened today with a mother and child who were involved with a security guard who is not my personal security. I didn't even see, I didn't even see a woman and a child, like, I did not. No one came up to me, no one bothered me, like I was just sitting at breakfast in my hotel. I did not ask the security guard to go up and talk to this mother and child. I did not. They did not come up to me. They weren't doing anything. It's unfair for security to just assume someone doesn't have good intentions when they have no reason to believe because there's no action even taken. I do not hate people who are fans of my music. I do not hate children, like, that is crazy. I'm sorry to the mother and child that someone was assuming something, that you would do something, and that if you felt uncomfortable, that makes me really sad. You did not deserve that.”
