First trailer for adaptation Project Hale Mary By Andy Weir
I heard that the footage that was shown to the owner of a movie theater earlier this year is amazing. The book is amazing. Lord & Miller made a great movie. Drew Goddard returns to write the script after nailing the Martians. And the trailer Project Hale Mary (Released March 20, 2026) is amazing. Is it very similar? Martians meet et? Why yes. And it’s great.
The Supreme Court says parents can “opt out” of actively affirming LGBTQ+ public school lessons
I was waiting for Kelly Jensen’s breakdown of Mahmoud vs Taylor decision that fell on Friday, but she was not disappointed. Through the strange habit, when Friday’s decision-making happened, I was walking by the actual Supreme Court building. This has nothing to do with anything, but I felt it wasn’t too strange. The important quote she is pulling is that it becomes the gallbladder as you would expect. And what is this very realistic threat? Affirms the book’s portrayal of LGBTQ+ people. Because it gets in the way of the homophobia of their religion.
This is The reversed world Reading the old separation of church and state made me feel like I’ve had a much better understanding of it in 8th grade. Here’s Kelly on why it feels like that:
“It is important to understand that because of religious rights, establishment clauses are interpreted differently from the general population. If most people read the separation of churches and states and mean that religious doctrines cannot be injected in government operations, then public schools cannot request prayer for religious rights. They counteract their individual beliefs on the matter.”
The disappointing, twisty moments of justice are not immediately reverted.
