This story is set in a farmhouse in present-day Britain, but its occupants – hypercompetent Mama (Joely Richardson), ailing Pa (Roger Ajogbe) and teenage daughter Maisy (Sadie Soverall) – live like they’re in the 1950s, with no mobile phones or landline, no TV and certainly no internet. Nevertheless, they seem content enough even if Mama is a bit overprotective of Maisy. Perhaps that’s due to the fact that Pa wouldn’t be much help in a crisis, given he uses a wheelchair and is nearly mute, heavily medicated with the…

A massive and dangerous 524-foot Asteroid, which is estimated to be larger than the London Eye, is set to come terrifuyingly close to Earth just a day after King Charles coronation in the UK. The London Eye is 135 metres or 443 feet high.It has been named as Asteroid 2023 HP1 by NASA and it is estimated to be travelling towards Earth at a fearsome speed of 11.6 km per second. The date of this scarily close approach is Sunday, May 7, 2023 and the time has been estimated at around 10.40pm. How close will this gigantic…

via Paramount Fantasy always runs the risk of eventually becoming reality, but very rarely to previously far-fetched tales become increasingly prescient on a daily basis. In fact, if you showed The Truman Show to somebody from a younger generation completely unaware of its existence, they’d probably be left wondering why on earth it was ever considered science fiction. We live in a world where everyone is ready, willing, and unerringly able to record every single aspect of their existence and show it to the…

Image: Getty / John FedeleHackers are going to great lengths, including mimicking real people and creating and updating fake social media profiles, to trick victims into clicking phishing links and handing over usernames and passwords. The alert from the UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) -- the cybersecurity arm of intelligence service GCHQ -- warns that the phishing attacks are targeting individuals and organisations in a range of sectors. The end goal of the phishing attacks is to dupe the victim into…

We’re not suggesting that Brie Larson would take it upon herself to bludgeon one of her many Marvel Cinematic Universe trolls from a distance with an axe, but the evidence is there to prove that she could if she wanted to. As if the Academy Award winner and major player in the most successful franchise in the history of cinema needed any more accolades under her belt, it transpires that she could always end up auditioning for a role in Netflix’s Vikings: Valhalla if The Marvels does the unthinkable and craters at the box…

Exxon knew....a lot.Photo: Aaron M. Sprecher (AP)ExxonMobil knew even more about how damaging climate change is than we thought, a study out this week shows.In 2015, journalists obtained a trove of internal documents related to ExxonMobil’s work on climate change and published a series of investigations into how the company’s external PR didn’t match its internal research. “Exxon Knew,” which refers to the idea that Exxon knew about climate change and its dangers while continuing to mislead the public and perpetuating…

A plane-sized 130-foot asteroid is to come extremely close to Earth today. NASA says it is hazardous for Earth. Should you worry about it? Know here. Did you know, dinosaurs were in the prime of their lives during the late Cretaceous period when an asteroid drove them into extinction, says a latest study. This dinosaur-killing asteroid was between 10.6 and 80.9 km in diameter and it crashed in Chicxulub, near the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico around 65 million years ago. Think about it, if a giant asteroid can end the…

Severe COVID-19 looks scarily like old age in the human brain, according to a postmortem analysis of 54 healthy and infected individuals.The authors of the study say their research is the first to link COVID-19 to molecular signatures of brain aging."We observed that gene expression in the brain tissue of patients who died of COVID-19 closely resembled that of uninfected individuals 71 years old or older," says public health scientist Jonathan Lee from Harvard University.The sample, made up of people in their early…

via Warner Bros. Bruce Wayne has spent his entire life dedicating every ounce of himself to protecting Gotham City as Batman, but what if every single problem to have manifested in his hometown dating back decades was entirely his fault? That’s the fascinating theory to have been put forward on Reddit, which suggests that the intense levels of crime, madness, and murder in Gotham were caused by the Dark Knight. When you break it down, it makes an alarming amount of sense, and it would be unfortunately ironic…
