A new study found that "forever chemicals" are not only present in water, but also in rainwater all over the world at levels deemed to be undrinkable.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I guess what is most interesting is that it had Michael Keaton reprising his 1989 Batman role.
I think there must be other some reason Warner Bros is shelving the film - being bad has never stopped the release of a film
ever.
Plus, the fans would insure that the film made its nut. Might not have been a blockbuster, but it’s hard to imagine it losing money.

They were filming it in Glasgow, an interesting choice for a Gotham City analog.

Proxima Chorizo
Quote:A French scientist has apologized after tweeting a photo of a slice of chorizo, claiming it was an image of a distant star taken by the James Webb Space Telescope.
"Picture of Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the Sun, located 4.2 light years away from us. It was taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. This level of detail... A new world is unveiled everyday," he told his more than 91,000 followers on Sunday.

A couple of days ago he was whining that anything over 2 million would ruin him.
This not only ruined him. It bent him over a desk and reamed him so thoroughly his eyes popped out and he'll never be able to walk again.
