    Harrison Ford defends de-aging tech in new ‘Indiana Jones’

    Speaking at a press conference on Friday (May 19th), Ford defended using the technology. “I know that that is my face,” he said, per Entertainment Weekly. “It’s not a kind of Photoshop magic – that’s what I looked like 35 years ago. Because Lucasfilm has every frame of film that we’ve made together over all of these years.”

    He continued: “This process, this scientific mining of this library, this was put to good [use]… It’s just a trick unless it’s supported by a story, and it sticks out like a sore thumb if it’s not honest, it’s not real… I mean, emotionally real. And so I think it was used very skillfully.”

  • Justice Gorsuch: COVID emergency orders were among `greatest intrusions on civil liberties’

    Justice Gorsuch: COVID emergency orders were among `greatest intrusions on civil liberties’

    This is how the Associated Press summed up the Justice’s opinion on COVID and our recent history:

    The Supreme Court got rid of a pandemic-related immigration case with a single sentence.

    Justice Neil Gorsuch had a lot more to say, leveling harsh criticism of how governments, from small towns to the nation’s capital, responded to the gravest public health threat in a century.

    The justice, a 55-year-old conservative who was President Donald Trump’s first Supreme Court nominee, called emergency measures taken during the COVID-19 crisis that killed more than 1 million Americans perhaps “the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country.”

    He pointed to orders closing schools, restricting church services, mandating vaccines and prohibiting evictions. His broadside was aimed at local, state and federal officials — even his colleagues.

    Russia warns West sending F-16s to Ukraine ‘carries enormous risks’..

    High drama at the G7 as Zelensky arrives.. but with what cost with the arrival of more western weapons and aircraft be for the world?

    The war drums just keep on banging louder and louder with each new addition of United States arsenal ..

    The West’s effort to potentially send modern fighter jets to Ukraine “carries enormous risks,” Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko warned on Saturday, according to Russian state news agency TASS.

    The minister’s comments in an interview with TASS come in the wake of the U.S. getting behind a joint international effort to train Ukrainian pilots to use modern fighter aircraft including F-16s. This could also pave the way to eventually send advanced Western combat jets to Ukraine, according to a senior administration official. 

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the U.S. decision in a tweet on Friday, saying that it “will greatly enhance our army in the sky.”

    19-year-old Tik Tok creator allegedly fakes having cancer, raises thousands on GoFundMe

    She had the nerve to say biotin kept her hair and radiation kept her tan. Social media grossness at its grossest..

    Madison Russo allegedly used social media to spread awareness about her battle with cancer and to raise almost $40,000 on GoFundMe — but the entire operation was a scam, according to Iowa police, who have charged Russo with theft.

    Russo, a 19-year-old TikTok content creator, raised more than $37,303 from 439 donors by falsely claiming she suffered from acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Stage 2 pancreatic cancer, and a tumor the “size of a football, that wrapped around her spine,” according to a news release from the Eldridge Police Department.

  • The socials stay above the fray: Supremes make the call

    The socials stay above the fray: Supremes make the call

    The Supreme Court declined to address the legal liability shield that protects tech platforms from being held responsible for their users’ posts, the court said in an unsigned opinion Thursday.

    The decision leaves in place, for now, a broad liability shield that protects companies like Twitter, Meta’s Facebook and Instagram as well as Google’s YouTube from being held liable for their users’ speech on their platforms.

    The court’s decisions in these cases will serve as a big sigh of relief for tech platforms for now, but many members of Congress are still itching to reform the legal liability shield.

    In the case, Gonzalez v. Google, the court said it would “decline to address the application” of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the law that protects platforms from their users’ speech and also allows the services to moderate or remove users’ posts. The court said it made that decision because the complaint “appears to state little, if any, plausible claim for relief.”

  • DEATH OF SUPERSTAR: BILLY GRAHAM DEAD AT 79

    DEATH OF SUPERSTAR: BILLY GRAHAM DEAD AT 79

    Pro wrestling legend “Superstar” Billy Graham has died, World Wrestling Entertainment says.

    He was just short of his 80th birthday.

    Graham, whose real name was Eldridge Wayne Coleman, was born on June 7, 1943 in Phoenix.

    Graham’s “flashy fashion style, over-the-top interviews and bodybuilder physique created the archetype for a generation of Superstars that followed in his footsteps,” WWE says.

    He was, according to WWE, “perhaps the single-most influential performer in WWE history whose interviews, fashion and physique inspired Hulk Hogan, Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura and Scott Steiner.”

    It notes that his “greatest WWE achievement” was taking the WWE championship from fellow wrestling legend Bruno Sammartino in April 1977. He held onto the title for almost a year.

    May he rest in peace..

  • Possible ‘miracle’ at Connecticut church being investigated by the Vatican

    Possible ‘miracle’ at Connecticut church being investigated by the Vatican

    The results of an investigation into the reports of a possible miracle at Thomaston’s St. Thomas Church have been sent to the Vatican.

    On March 5, the Rev. Joseph Crowley, pastor of St. Maximilian Kolbe Parish, which includes St. Thomas, reported that during Holy Communion a lay person distributing hosts had found that the wafers had multiplied in the ciborium.

    “God duplicated himself in the ciborium,” Crowley said after Communion. “God provides and it’s strange how God does that. And that happened.”

    Now, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith has been notified and is conducting its own investigation.

    David Elliott, spokesman for the archdiocese, issued a statement that “reports such as the alleged miracle in Thomaston require referral to the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome. The Archdiocese has proceeded accordingly, and will await a response in due time.”
