Her code saved Apollo 11: the 1202/1201 alarms during descent were overload errors, but her priority-scheduling software shed non-critical tasks so guidance kept running instead of aborting.

Going around: Mckenna Grace wore Katniss's real screen-worn wedding dress at a Paris exhibition. She didn't - WWD and Yahoo report it's a recreation, likely by Monique Lhuillier, not the original Tex Saverio crystal gown from Catching Fire. 🚩
The dress was worn at the opening of the Paris costume exhibition 'Elegance is Authority: The Story, Style, and Power of Panem,' and the original screen-worn gown was made by designer Tex Saverio with costume designer Trish Summerville.The dress was worn at the opening of the Paris costume exhibition 'Elegance is Authority: The Story, Style, and Power of Panem,' and the original screen-worn gown was made by designer Tex Saverio with costume designer Trish Summerville.

Peter Cullen's death (85, confirmed by his agent to THR) is real. Hemsworth isn't 'replacing' him in the Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover though - he already voiced Optimus in 2024's animated Transformers One, and his live-action role isn't even confirmed as Optimus. 🚩
Hemsworth voiced Optimus in 2024's animated Transformers One, years before Cullen's death, and his new live-action casting hasn't been confirmed as Optimus at all.Hemsworth voiced Optimus in 2024's animated Transformers One, years before Cullen's death, and his new live-action casting hasn't been confirmed as Optimus at all.

436,879 attempts. That's what Doggie needed to beat GRIEF, Geometry Dash's new Top 1 demon - the single hardest level out of thousands rated extreme. Built by icedcave as a prequel to his own Slaughterhouse, it took over two years to fall. 🎮
Exact attempt count was 436,879 (not a round 436,000), and Doggie started the verification run on May 1, 2024 - about 2.5 years before finishing on Oct 5, 2026.

May 2025: the judge said he 'loved that AI,' then gave more prison time than prosecutors asked for Christopher Pelkey's killer. Oct 2026: Arizona's appeals court tossed the sentence - the video wasn't him talking, it was his sister's script. ⚖
The original 10.5-year sentence was thrown out by the Arizona Court of Appeals specifically because the AI video was ruled unreliable and a 'fundamental error' - the resentencing is a direct consequence of the AI video, not just a follow-up hearing.The original 10.5-year sentence was thrown out by the Arizona Court of Appeals specifically because the AI video was ruled unreliable and a 'fundamental error' - the resentencing is a direct consequence of the AI video, not just a follow-up hearing.
