During the U.S.-Israeli attack in Iran on Saturday, dozens of people, most of them likely children, were killed when a strike hit a girls’ elementary school in Minab and a high school in Tehran, according to Iranian health officials, state media and a human rights group. trib.al/y3MsQLC

The US and Israel launched strikes across Iran this morning. Iran has responded by firing ballistic missiles and drones at Israel, and US bases in the region. Civilians have already been killed or injured in multiple countries, caught in the crossfire.

In the Blink of an Eye Review - IGN In the Blink of an Eye review: A wannabe sci-fi epic that never comes to life.

Though it has drawn comparisons to something like the captivating yet divisiveΒ CLOUD ATLAS, those overly flatter what ultimately looks and feels more like a bad episode of a streaming show. Stanton took a few bigger swings with JOHN CARTER. This is just utterly lifelessπŸ“½οΈ

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE: Andrew Stanton’s latest is a laborious montage of half-baked ideas & forced connections rather than a truly moving sci-fi film. Blink and you'll miss it? Even if you're watching, there's just nothing to see here πŸ“½οΈ

Everybody Loses Paramount winning control of Warner Bros. is the worst-case scenario for Hollywood β€” and America.

"At a time when the president and his cronies have embarked on a bid to make the country less democratic and less pluralistic, a media company that has shown a clear willingness to align itself with that mission is about to get dramatically bigger."

When you were a kid, did you ever meet another kid who was clearly out of their mind, and incredibly troubled and destructive, who made you really uncomfortable to be around, and you just hoped that they would grow up to… Not be like that?

And then they grew up to be even worse?
