- ‘It feels deeply human’: Andor’s Genevieve O’Reilly on turning a tiny Star Wars role into on...In 2005, O’Reilly joined the Star Wars galaxy as the younger version of Rebel leader Mon Mothma. Now in Andor, the Irish-Australian actor gets her turn in the spotlight“I swear I got the job because I was the palest person in Sydney,” Genevieve O’Reilly says of the fateful day, more than 20 years ago, when she took a meeting with a casting agent for Star Wars.At the turn of the millennium, the newly opened Fox Studios was luring major productions to Australia; from Moulin Rouge to the Matrix trilogy, it wasn’t unusual to see a recent Nida graduate or sun-kissed soap star filling out a scene behind a Hollywood A-lister. O’Reilly, who was born in Dublin, but grew up in Adelaide then moved to Sydney to study acting, was one among many. Continue reading... ...[TheTopNews] Read More.17 hours ago
- Trump DOJ’s plan to restructure Google hurts consumers, national security, says exec: ‘W...
Google is taking aim at the Justice Department's efforts to overhaul its search engine just days before a federal court hearing, with senior company executives describing the government's proposed reforms as "wildly overbroad" and posing potential risks to consumers, businesses and the national security landscape.One senior Google executive previewed the company's counterargument in an interview Friday with Fox News Digital, noting that, in their view, the remedies proposed by the Justice Department are "wildly broad" and going "miles beyond" what the court ordered in August, when U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta sided with the government and ruled that Google was operating an illegal monopoly in the online search sector. The Justice Department's proposed remedy framework includes steps such as divesting from Chrome, Google's internet browser, and possibly Android; requirements for Google to disclose its consumer data and consumer search queries with other companies for the next 10 years, including companies located… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.18 hours ago - What’s behind this stifling, confusing LeBron-led Lakers defenseFor months, the Lakers have frustrated opponents with a scheme no one can quite figure out. ...[TheTopNews] Read More.18 hours ago
- Sen. Van Hollen pours cold water on ‘margarita-gate’ photo-op after El Salvador trip: ‘Nob...
Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., says the margaritas were fake. The outrage, he says, is real.Returning from a highly publicized trip to El Salvador to meet with deported illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Van Hollen addressed reporters Thursday after landing at Dulles International Airport in Virginia. He attempted to set the record straight on what’s now being dubbed "margarita-gate," a viral photo posted by Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele that appeared to show the senator and Garcia sitting casually at a table with two salt-rimmed drinks."Let me just be very clear," Van Hollen said.

One problem, these days, is that there is so much "shit" that is "flooding the zone" - Steve Bannon's metaphor, I believe - that it is very difficult to know, from day to day, which amazing and unprecedented events matter, and which don't. Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson's opinion for the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in the Abrego Garcia case matters. Eugene has already excerpted much of the opinion here, and the full text is available here. Though it was issued yesterday (!), it already feels like old news, superseded by Trump's attacks on Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, Senator van Hollen's visit to the El Salvador mega-prison where Abrego Garcia is being held, A U.S. threat to pull out of the negotiations to end the Ukraine war, etc. etc. But I urge you, if you have not done so already, to spend a little of your time and attention on it. … ...[TheTopNews] Read More.18 hours ago - Roommate of slain Idaho students will be allowed to testify that murder suspect had ‘bushy eye...
