Russian attack on Ukraine began as Trump and Putin spoke

As #Trump & #Putin were talking on the phone on July 3, #AirRaid sirens blared across #Ukraine.

The first air raids in our cities & regions began yesterday almost simultaneously with the start of media discussions of #Trump’s phone call with #Putin

This was one of most large-scale air attacks – deliberately massive and cynical… Russia again demonstrating it's not going to end #war and #terror

‘I’m not fine’ — Intimate scenes of life during war: #Photos

An abandoned bed that often remains empty until morning as its usual occupants seek shelter during Russian attacks. A backpack with essentials to take along during each #AirRaid. A family hug during a #blackout, when a flashlight brings out the invisible on a mother’s face in daylight.

Retro SciFi of the Week…

The Time Machine (1960)

This is the first film adaptation of the H. G. Wells novel. Although the story isn’t the first time-travel story ever written, it’s the first one to include a device that allows one to travel forward or backward to arbitrarily selected points in time.

After six decades, the film has held up well and is still entertaining in it’s own right. The special effects are pretty good even by today’s standards. They won an Academy Award when the film debuted.

Other film adaptations were made in 1978 and 2002, but they deviated more substantially from the book.
