The first trailer for Denis Villeneuveā€™s Dune has just been released ā€“ check it out below.
The upcoming sci-fi epic, based on the first half of Frank Herbertā€™s 1965 novel of the same name, is due for release this December.
Dune stars TimothĆ©e Chalamet as Paul Atreides, the son of a noble family tasked with protecting ā€œthe spiceā€, the most valuable substance in the universe found on the desert planet Arrakis.
Rebecca Ferguson will play Paulā€™s mother Lady Jessica, while Duke Leto Atreides is portrayed by Oscar Isaac. Josh Brolin, Stellan SkarsgĆ„rd, Zendaya, Charlotte Rampling, Jason Momoa and Javier Bardem also star.

Discussing the scale of the upcoming film, Chalamet recently explained to Empire what it was like to film in the Wadi Rum desert to recreate the world of the book. ā€œThat part of the Wadi Rum is so awe-inspiring, you might as well be getting chased by that cliff in the background,ā€ he said.

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Hereā€™s what Russiaā€™s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls donā€™t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls donā€™t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They donā€™t lack basic English language skills. They certainly arenā€™t  ā€œsomebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,ā€  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs arenā€™t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them ā€” and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest itā€™s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This...

Confronting Bluster šŸ˜”šŸ’¢šŸ—ÆšŸ—Æ

  So, what is bluster? By definition: - to speak or act in a noisy, angry, or threatening way without saying anything important As good enough an explanation as any I guess, but it really doesn't say it all. Back when I was a kid, there was always that kid on the teams that would lose at whatever game it was and get mad while blaming someone else for the loss, even though they'd been a major part in the loss. So I naively assumed that bluster was only a sore loser thing. As I got older and worked I found out that it was also a tactic to try and scare others from fighting back. So a poker reference here, it's very similar to someone going "all in" right away to discourage anyone from calling the bet. Now, we see it quite often in politics, usually with doubling down if it's confronted. In politics as a tactic, it's meant to scare the politician's opponents, but also to distract from the other things the politician has failed to deliver and/or actually w...
