James Gunn's new "Superman" film debuts next week. "While the likes of Batman and Wolverine are popular because they break the rules, Superman has to be a law-abiding, upstanding all-American Mr. Nice Guy," Nicholas Barber writes. But that hasn't always been the case for Man of Steel. Read more from @BBCNews:

Just when you convinced yourselves YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ⁉️
MR. #TRUMP DO NOT let ' #MUSK the #RETARD ' DESTROY OUR COUNTRY 🦅 to #NO_RETURN!
🔥 Soon YOU WLL realize that all 🇱🇷 #USA_CODE is all #CORRUPTED based on belief systems of #FOREIGN_CULTURES who wrote the CODE ( #FLAWED CORE LOGIC TO BEGIN WITH); rendering all of IT #UNSECURED IMHO.
* How do you think we ALWAYS DOMINATED GOOGLE last 20 years❓
* HOW DO YOU THINK WE TOOK DOWN GOOGLE AI 3 TIMES ❓
Bc THIER 🇮🇳 CODE WAS #FLAWED 🚔 FROM THE GETGO!.
Anything Plugged in after the fact will NOT FIT (EG: ROUND PEGS DO NOT FIT INTO SQUARE WHOLES) #WITHOUT #SOUND_CORE_LOGIC CODED in the 1st Place...🥇
Just one quick look at ELON MUSKS #AUTO_PILOT CODE in Tesla SAYS IT ALL! And why you have 🛬 BOEING AIRLINERS CRASHING 💥 EVERYDAY LIKE YOU CHANGING YOUR #UNDERWEAR?
Only one question?? WHERE ARE THE #PILOTS??
ONLY HIRE 🦅 #USA_ENGINEERS.
#VET_REAL_PATRIOTS (ENGINEERS) over time 🦅
NOT FAKE!
THEY WILL GET BETTER ON THE JOB! 💼 THIS #LOSER MUSK AND THAT OTHER #GREASE_BALL WILL TAKE YOU DOWN 👎 and this country TO NO RETURN!
🃏 DO NOT be Fooled! You are listening to a #CNBC A 🇮🇱 #ISRAELI TERRORIST 🌐 NETWORK (aka #DISINFORMATION Proxy #Propaganda Machine out of CNBC (DISINFORMATION PROXY_WAR_CHANNEL) = aka Israeli #TERRORISTS 👹 .
✝️ Allow us to EXPLAIN. WE have been outsourcing TALENT since 1999. There is no company with more experience in OUTSOURCING than #TastingTraffic LLC 🌐 #Internationally for #ONLINE_BUSINESSES.
We were DEEP into #Advanced_Technologies at the same time when we could not help but notice this COUNTRY 🦅 #STIFLING THE AMERICAN CITIZENS ABILITY TO KEEP UP WITH CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES WORLDWIDE! >> 25 years #AGO!? >>
>>We tested all countries. We were the first to HIRE INDIAN PROGRAMMERS LONG before ANY USA BIG TECH--until we caught them #lying..
WE LEARNED that Lying in INDIA IS CONSIDERED GOOD BUSINESS #ETHICS?? It gets worse. It's PART OF THEIR #CULTURE and acceptable??
MANY 💩 💩 💩 #ELITES (FLYING TO 🇮🇳 INDIA DURING THIS TIME GETTING THEIR #KINKS 👙 ON. GOT MASSIVE PROOF TOO;);)🔍
..will soon realize that all their code is CORRUPTED bc there #CULTURE HAS BEEN PROJECTED into their #PROGRAMMING_CODE??? rendering all OF IT #UNSECURED IMHO;)
Now India has BACKED #BRICS.. hMMM? Because they know all USA code is corrupted. #INDIA LEFT A #BACK_DOOR_BONANZA FOR FUTURE 🔮 USA #COMPROMISES.
#ALLIES HUH?
We left 🇮🇳 India for this reason 15 years ago..
#Google is Poisoning their OWN DATA Rendering #AD_WORDS ADVERTISING #Targeting OBSOLETE! And they don’t even know it… see below.
What happened to #DEEP_MIND? and/or #LaMDA? Etc. etc. #TastingTraffic LLC SHUT THEM BOTH DOWN!;) #Overnight! for the 3rd time;)
TastingTraffic LLC debunked Google Long ago >> #many_times.
In Fact, in 2007 they turned into a dedicated PAY PER CLICK ENGINE for the FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES (aka ILLEGAL #EXCLUSION | #SHERMAN #ANTI_TRUST VIOLATIONS UP THE YING YANG)☯️ ..
Google still under #ANTI_TRUST investigation by the CROOKED #Biden_Administration--that will Never Be Finalized??
PROOF of more #Israeli_Terrorists Meddling #behind_the_scenes.
We have 100% Proof and Evidence that the #State of #ISRAEL has Stolen your #Personal_Data as well as your #Intellectual_Property DATA Worldwide. ( by #Oracle a #Jewish_Owned Fortune 500 Company ?? no less.)
Confirmation of an Illegal Major Concealment & COVER-UP CRIME(s) over the last 7,300 days / 2 decades / 20 years??
Do not use #USPTO #Patent_office for anything. They are stealing your IP through USPTO by #TROLLS (aka usa patent attorneys).
bc 'THEY' cannot INNOVATE ANYTHING!
If it doesn't spew out of the ground or fall off a tree. All they know how to do IS CHANGE THE NAME and RE-BRAND the same TECH through #HYPE under a different name over and over again (LIKE #PARROTS 🦜 ) to cover their #UNENDING_FAILURES!
And that my friends is the REAL TRUTH behind #Israeli #AI_USA_TECH.
🇮🇱 They #sacrificed 1200 JEWS (#BREACHED_SECURITY WAS 100% due to corrupted ALGORITHMS w/o Human SUPERVISION?? Proof of #MAJOR #SOFTWARE_INCOMPETENCIES)
ANYONE could have BREACHED that WALL-- NOT just HAMAS!
REMEMBER #Colonial_Pipeline (MORE BRAINDEAD NAZI's #KOCH BROS.??) WERE Using a Compromised (WEAK) Password??
Any #UNETHICAL_HACKER could get in. Why? Because there is NO SOUND CODE!! ( #AI is a #Fantasy ) >> AI CANNOT AND I REPEAT CANNOT operate and/or function as intended #UNSUPERVISED >> WITHOUT 24/7 #HUMAN_SUPERVISION.
Proof Israeli's #Engineers GRANDIOSE_CLAIMS 🏴☠️ Murdered their own #Citizens!
(DavidV exp. 200K Project management hours under belt since 1999)
They MURDERED their own people--if the TRUTH BE TOLD! And the Jewish Citizens TRUSTED them and many unfortunately were Killed >> then tried to place the BLAME on others??
At the cost of 40,000 INNOCENT murder Victims (Civilians NO LESS #BURNING_CHILDREN_ALIVE FOR THE LAST YEAR??)
How much do the Israeli Zionist Value an #American Life?? .. $0.00 USD!
But they need our #Tax_Dollars to #Survive?? Hmm.. Who wants to pay taxes now to #FUND_GENOCIDE 🩸 🇵🇸 of #Children!?

Google’s new?? #Gemini_AI_model (aka FAKED!) is getting a mixed reception after its big debut last month, but users may have #less_confidence in the company’s tech or integrity after #finding_out that the most impressive demo of Gemini WAS PRETTY MUCH FAKED!
Static Page: Google’s best Gemini demo was faked.
https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/07/googles-best-gemini-demo-was-faked/
ACTUAL #FAKED_VIDEO HERE: Hands-on with Gemini: Interacting?? ( BULLSH*T! ) with #FAKE_COPYCAT AI..??
Just 2 BIG problems:
1. The video isn’t real. “We created the demo by capturing footage in order to test Gemini’s capabilities..
2. Google is Poisoning their OWN_DATA Rendering #AD_WORDS #ADVERTISING #Targeting OBSOLETE! Aka #USELESS
..And 'THEY' don’t even know it...

#OTD in 1894.
Thomas Edison makes a kinetoscopic film of someone sneezing. On the same day, his employee, William Kennedy Dickson, receives a patent for motion picture film.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Ott%27s_Sneeze
According to the Library of Congress, it is the second oldest surviving U.S. motion picture to be copyrighted, although it is now in the public domain.
Italian dancer, choreographer and dance theoretician Carlo Blasis died #OTD in 1878.
He published an analysis of the ballet techniques in 1820, in a work named Traité élémentaire, théorique, et pratique de l'art de la danse. He is most known for the pose "Attitude" derived from the famous statue Mercury by Giovanni da Bologna.

#Janitors are #People who find it important to connect people. They spread bits of #information they find to other people for whom it may be useful. Usually in hopes that #attraction occurs between formerly unrelated parties, such as #stimulating a #collaboration between #fediverse projects.

A special shoutout to The New York Review of Books which has just started using the Fediverse:

If you haven’t reached the age yet, you will inevitably arrive at a point where you say, “These damn kids today and their [insert grievance here],” Julianna Ress writes for The Ringer. Ress takes us on a fascinating journey through this absurd time-honored behavior in “The Eternal Cycle of Hating the Next Generation (Gen Z edition). Have some fun as you read along and say to yourself “I would never …” or “Oh, yeah, I do that all the time.”

Chances are we all have suffered or know someone who is suffering from depression. It’s natural to want to help those we care about, but choosing the right approach is important. Claudia Giolitti-Wright, a psychotherapist in New York, cringes when clients with depression report back on what their friends or family members inevitably say to them: “But you have so much to be grateful for!” It is, she believes, the No. 1 worst way to respond when someone opens up about their mental-health struggles.

It’s Memorial Day weekend across the U.S., which means the nation takes a moment to honor those who served and died in its military. It also unofficially kicks off barbecue season, especially in northern climes where snow, wind and rain give way to sun, warmth and long days. If you’re firing up the grill for Memorial Day or upcoming holidays like Juneteenth and the Fourth of July, you might be wondering just how many burgers, hot dogs, and brats to stock up on per person. Fear not, for @foodandwine has done the cookout math for you:
