Ghost Time Theory - We Live in the Past
In the year 1752, specifically on the first of September, a young man, known in his village for his cleverness and cunning, and his love for betting, heard in the morning of this day from his workplace in the neighboring village some news from a traveling merchant. He was certain that no one in his village knew about it. This news was strange, surprising, even exceptional, and it would not happen again. A person with his cunning and shrewdness would not let it pass without taking advantage of it. He thought for a moment, then the idea struck him. He quickly ran through the village’s alleys, calling on the villagers to hurry and gather in the village square because he had brought them a bet. The challenge was impossible to win, but he wouldn’t lose it.

REVIEW - Star Trek: Section 31
After what seems like forever since it was first announced as another new Star Trek series, Section 31 finally arrives as Trek’s first streaming TV movie. Indeed, it’s a first for the franchise in a number of ways: the first production not to focus on Starfleet characters; the first to be set in the “lost era” between the original cast movies and The Next Generation; and the first to be headed by an East Asian and non-Anglosphere lead.

Review of 'Dune: Prophecy' 1.3-1.4
Lots of dramas on TV give us flashbacks to the earlier lives of current characters, to give us a sense of who they are and their motives, but Dune: Prophecy is doing that better than most, and in episode 1.3 devotes most of an entire episode to the younger Valya and Tula sisters, at the time Reverend Mother Raquella, the first Reverend Mother and founder of the Bene Gesserit, was still alive and very much in charge.

What Happens If the Y Chromosome Disappears All Over The World?
What If the Y Chromosome Suddenly Disappeared? Picture this: you wake up one day, and the Y chromosome—the tiny piece of DNA that makes us biological males, well, male—just vanishes. Poof, gone. What would happen to the world? To humanity? It sounds like the plot of a wild sci-fi movie, but it’s an idea worth exploring. So, let’s dive into this “what if” scenario and we will also talk about a TV show that really ran with this concept.

HRW Accuses Israel of War
Human Rights Watch (HRW) recently accused Israel of war crimes in Gaza, including "forcible transfer" and "ethnic cleansing”. HRW based the report on interviews with displaced Gazans and satellite imagery that it says indicates evacuation orders and military actions by Israel are unjustified under international humanitarian law. The report points to areas like the Philadelphi and Netzarim corridors, where Israel has reportedly cleared vast sections for security zones. These measures, HRW says, are to make the Palestinians permanently homeless, an act that would then amount to ethnic cleansing. Here is a fully expanded version of this story blog on these developments:
