One fascinating film trivia I learned recently is that Sofia Coppola and Spike Jonze’s marriage from 1999 to 2003 partially inspired Coppola’s 2003 film Lost In Translation and Jonze’s 2013 film Her.
Coincidentally, both films star Scarlett Johansson as the main female protagonist, both films were nominated for the Oscar Best Picture, and both films won the Oscar Best Original Screenplay for Coppola and Jonze.

nearly half of them including children,
as well as some 370 single adult women
being held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in South Texas.
It is just one of many immigration centers across the country,
but the only one holding families.
Since the start of the Trump administration, the number of children in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention has skyrocketed,

The American Navy, he wrote, had “successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz to ensure oil remains flowing.”
The post on X was deleted minutes later,
after “oil prices slid at their steepest pace in years,” according to the Wall StreetJournal.
The White House pres…

Trump Energy Chief Accused of Manipulating Oil Markets With Deleted Post About Strait of Hormuz | Common Dreams

But if you needed an actual tanker full of oil — and quickly — it would cost you dearly.
On Tuesday, …
