European leaders are joining a trip to Washington to make sure the trans-Atlantic alliance remains intact.

 

NEW YORK (AP) — Special U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff said Sunday that Russian leader Vladimir Putin agreed at his summit with President Donald Trump to allow the U.S. and European allies to offer Ukraine a security guarantee resembling NATO’s collective defense mandate as part of an eventual deal to end the 3 1/2-year war.

Superman (2025) (letterboxd.com)
 

This Superman soars—not by outmuscling Cavill’s brooding demigod or remaking Christopher Reeve’s gentle icon, but by capturing the sense of wonder that first hooked me as a child. When I watched Christopher Reeve’s Superman all those years ago, I felt the awe of a world made bright by heroes. Now, watching Corenswet’s take with my seven-year-old daughter, I can see her experiencing that same wide-eyed excitement. Gunn’s film hands the magic down—a perfect introduction for a new generation, every bit as joyous and inviting as it was for mine.

 

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli gunfire killed at least 25 people seeking aid in Gaza on Wednesday, health officials and witnesses said, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu again called for what he refers to as the voluntary migration of Palestinians from the war-ravaged territory.

 

President Trump said he needed to send in the Guard to secure the nation’s capital. But on Jan. 6, 2021 — the most lawless day in recent Washington history — he had a very different reaction.

 

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel is in discussions with South Sudan about the possibility of resettling Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to the war-torn East African country, part of a wider effort by Israel to facilitate mass emigration from the territory left in ruins by its 22-month offensive against Hamas.

Is this the 3-way Trump, Putin, Nethanyahu fight?

 

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. chief warned Israel that the United Nations has “credible information” of sexual violence and other violations by Israeli forces against detained Palestinians, which Israel’s U.N. ambassador dismissed as “baseless accusations.”

 

Some of the 800 National Guard members deployed by President Donald Trump began arriving in the nation’s capital on Tuesday, ramping up after the White House ordered federal forces to take over the city’s police department and reduce crime in what the president called — without substantiation — a lawless city.

Has Madonna been to Gaza?

 

There’s a good film, maybe a great series, somewhere here. But King Ivory, for all its ambition, is content to stand outside the prison gates, listening to the stories echo off the concrete, and then driving home. The afterimage? A low good, like a drug cut too many times; you feel the rush coming, but the high never quite hits like you hoped.

 

President Donald Trump extended a trade truce with China for another 90 days Monday, at least delaying once again a dangerous showdown between the world’s two biggest economies.

 

President Donald Trump took unprecedented steps toward federalizing Washington, D.C. on Monday, saying it’s needed to fight crime even as city leaders pointed to data showing violence is down.

Haha, that's good. For a moment I thought it was real, then I saw the community. Thanks for the laugh.

On Wednesday, Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s chief executive, met with President Trump at the White House and agreed to give the federal government its 15 percent cut, essentially making the federal government a partner in Nvidia’s business in China, said the people familiar with the deal. The Commerce Department began granting licenses for A.I. chip sales two days later, these people said.

Sounds very unusual, so Nvidia is giving a kickback to the White House? No matter how I look at it, I can't see how this isn't a conflict of interest. I'm quite certain that someone will say the 15% kickback will be used in R&D etc to stay ahead the competitors but where do you draw the line between revenues and national interest?

I have a very short attention span unfortunately, if I get bored after 10 minutes I move on to another. It's not uncommon for me to watch a movie in 2 sittings due to time, work, gym etc. Weekends if I'm not gaming then I'll be able to watch a few movies in 1 go.

I really like Foxx, Leguizamo and De Niro, that's the only reason why I finished it. The same reason why I watched Armor and Alarum "starring" Stallone, but compared to these 2, Tin Soldier is perhaps a bit better lol, surprisingly I actually watched both these movies in 1 sitting.

Thanks for the comment!

Just like any book, you can walk away from a shite movie, too.

Hahah, you're right, I probably should have walked away from this but I really like De Niro... still don't know why I punished myself but oh well.

Also, OP, with respect: De Niro is a personal metric for quality? Ya lost me. AFAICT, De Niro hasn't been a reliable performer for a long time, (sighs in The Irishman) ... but I'm genuinely curious about your take on that.

The last few movies (Killers of the Flower Moon, Father of the Bride, Part 3) and TV shows (Zero Day, The Wizard of Lies) I watched, I really enjoyed. I actually liked the Irishman! I really do enjoy a good script and good actors, but it's debatable what appeals to me might not necessarily appeal to another person. Are the recent content as good as say Casino, Taxi Driver, Heat etc.. I don't think so.

 

In a highly unusual arrangement with President Trump, the companies are expected to kick 15 percent of what they make in China to the U.S. government.
