Asimov character adds up for Jared Harris in new season of ‘Foundation’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:16:09 GMT

As Jared Harris knows, Season 2 of Apple TV+’s “Foundation” begins a mere “130 years later,” amid the fall of the Galactic Empire.In this epic adaptation of Isaac Asimov’s stories, a band of exiles journey to rebuild civilization. Harris, 61, stars as mathematician Hari Seldon whose psychohistory predicts the future of populations.  He is able to see the changes that mean instead of a 30,000 year gap before a 2nd Empire rises, Hari predicts just 1,000 years.  At last season’s end Hari, now a second digital copy of the original, hopes to forge a new civilization.Although Asimov’s original trilogy was published in the 1950s, Harris wasn’t constricted by the author’s vision in creating his own version of the mathematical seer.“I read all the Isaac Asimov novels. Hari disappears from the narrative after the second short story. So in terms of being informed by the books, as the series is tracking that progress, there is nothing in the books that talks about how people talk about him,” Ha...

Tom Cruise on a ‘Mission’ to save summer movies

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:16:09 GMT

Attention Tom Cruise!!Your Mission, which you have accepted, is to carry the summer box-office once again.  Your $500 million stunt-crazy extravaganza “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” easily the most expensive movie in history, is expected to match last summer’s “Top Gun: Maverick” as a blockbuster to become the year’s top-grossing film.That “Mission” caters to all ages and all groups is in itself a semi-miracle in our divided nation.“Part One” is, first and most importantly, a Tom Cruise production.  Not only does the world’s most famous Scientologist control every aspect of what you see onscreen, including his death-defying stunts, but all that happened offscreen to make this 163-minute fantasy a reality.This is the franchise’s last hurrah, a 2-part 7th installment that includes the core team – played by Ving Rhames, Rebecca Ferguson (now starring in AppleTV+ “Silo” series) and Simon Pegg – reunited for an impossible mission revolving around rogue AI, a highly cont...

5 ideas for easy & awesome summer entertaining

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:16:09 GMT

It it just me, or is this summer big on impromptu gatherings? Every other afternoon someone’s saying, “Hey, can you come over tonight for cocktails? Or grilling? Or cocktails and grilling?” What absolutely no one is asking is “Can you come over in two weeks for a formal, four-course dinner?”So when you want to host, what’s the easiest way to entertain? Well, pot luck is a no-brainer with impromptu entertaining. Have guests bring at least one thing each — the fixings for one kind of drink, say, or an uncomplicated side. But beyond that, here are 5 easy and fun ideas for no-fuss but still-stylish hosting this season.Whip up an easy but unexpected main.Instead of the usual (but yes, admittedly delish) barbecue ribs and such, make a whole side of grilled salmon for a crowd. This is so much easier than it sounds. First, buy a great side of skin-on salmon — I like wild sockeye from Bristol Bay, Alaska (available at almost any Whole Foods). Pat the salmon dry ...

Roast beef & blue cheese tartine perfect for Bastille Day

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:16:09 GMT

July 14 is Bastille Day, the day in 1789 when the Bastille prison in Paris was stormed, and the French Revolution began. With this in mind, I thought about making a French-inspired supper and decided to make a tartine. The word “tartine” means slice of bread with spreadable ingredients in French and can also mean an open-face sandwich.For this quick sandwich supper, I topped thick slices of bread with some deli roast beef and crumbled blue cheese. A watercress salad with its slightly peppery flavor adds a little zing.Helpful Hints:You can find roasted beets can be found in the produce section of the market. You can use cherry tomatoes instead.You can use any type of blue cheese, such as Roquefort.You can use any type of whole grain bread.TAG GOES HERERoast Beef and Blue Cheese TartineINGREDIENTS4 thick slices whole grain breadOlive oil spray4 tablespoons reduced fat mayonnaise2 tablespoons prepared horseradish10 ounces lean sliced deli low-sodium roast beef3/4 cup reduce...

Lucas: Secret Service could blow past Hunter Biden in coke probe

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:16:09 GMT

The surprise is not they found cocaine in the White House — given who lives there.The surprise is that they told you about. Now it is up to the Secret Service to get Hunter Biden off the hook, which it may do as early as today when it releases its report of the incident.A coverup could have been launched had President Joe Biden been in the White House when the discovery was made, and not spending the weekend at Camp David with his son Hunter and family.After all, Hunter Biden is the only known cocaine user in the White House.  Hunter is awaiting court action over his sweetheart deal to plead guilty to two “misdemeanor” charges over carrying an illegal gun and tax evasion.Frequent visitor Hunter – believed by some to be a resident so frequent are the visits – comes and goes as he pleases and is not subject to the search and surveillance that regular White House employees are, let alone tourists.Hunter could have called a press conference to say that the cocaine was not hi...

Editorial: Poll finds student borrowers spent $$ they thought would be forgiven

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:16:09 GMT

If there was any doubt that today’s students are in desperate need of classes in financial literacy, it’s this: More than a third of student loan borrowers spent money they otherwise would not have, believing some of their debt would be forgiven by the Biden administration, according to a new poll.Don’t spend what you don’t have. That concept is admittedly at odds with a country that’s mired in credit card debt. As The Hill reported, a  typical American household now carries $10,000 in credit card debt, by one estimate.The aggregate picture is staggering: the nation’s credit card debt stands at $986 billion, according to the Federal Reserve. A Wallet Hub report put total card debt at $1.2 trillion at the end of 2022.Paying down credit card debt can be onerous, and a burden on many borrowers – especially if they racked up a good chunk of that debt paying for necessities during COVID shutdowns.Those carrying large credit card debt loads haven’...
