Yet, for every great movie, we also had some truly detestable efforts, from stinkers like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania to baffling rubbish like Ghosted. Yet, out of this pile of misery and waste, no 2023 movie pissed me off more than Saltburn, Emerald Fennell’s psychosexual/psychological thriller starring Oscar-nominee Barry Keoghan. As an unapologetic fan of Fennell’s previous film, 2020’s Promising Young Woman, I had high hopes for Saltburn. Yet, I was met with nothing but failure and ineptitude, courtesy…

A somber mood hangs over the country as the war against Russia enters its third year, and Kyiv’s troops face mounting challenges on the front line amid dwindling ammunition supplies and personnel challenges, and having withdrawn from a strategic eastern city that handed Moscow one of its biggest victories.

Our solar system has a few new entries with the recent discovery of three moons of Uranus and Neptune. These ice giant planets are so far away that it is difficult to detect small moons orbiting them, especially when one of the recently discovered moons is the faintest moon ever discovered by a ground-based telescope. Unlike Jupiter and Saturn, which both have a plethora of moons, Uranus is known to host 28 moons and Neptune just 16. That includes Uranus’s new diminutive moon, which is just 5 miles across. Like Uranus’ other moons, it will be named after a character…
