With the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the moon’s surface, India has written history. Days after Russia’s mission ended in failure, the Chandrayaan-3 lander successfully made contact with the moon’s south pole, which is regarded to be a possible source of water and oxygen. The rocket was launched on July 14 by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), taking off from the nation’s primary spaceport in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh. What does success entail for India, though? Dr. Surendra Pal, a former ISRO advisor, tells Aditi Prasad of the Hindustan Times.

A throng gathered for an event that police claim was not authorised or approved by the city, and Cenat, a well-known YouTube and Twitch celebrity, was detained as a result.

According to officials, a social media influencer has been accused with “inciting to riot” after a giveaway in a New York City park descended into violence on Friday.

According to an NYPD official, Kai Cenat, a live-streamer of video games, had been charged with riot, inciting riot, and unlawful assembly.

They said that he was given a desk appearance ticket, which entails that he must show up in court at a later time.

According to New York City Police Chief Jeffrey Maddrey, thousands of primarily young individuals gathered on Manhattan’s Union Square on Friday afternoon, and Cenat, 21, had been taken from the area for his safety.

According to Maddrey, 65 persons were detained. He said that thirty of them were children.

People tossed bottles, pyrotechnics, rocks, and paint cans that had been taken from a construction site at the park before they were brought into custody, according to Maddrey.

He said that three policemen had been hurt. A sergeant’s hand was fractured.

He said, “Officers were attacked, we were crushed,” and claimed he had been struck by “multiple objects.”

He remarked, “I personally saw young kids experiencing panic attacks, having anxiety attacks. “Out here, people were in pain.”

Cenat stated on his Twitch account on Wednesday that he would hold a “huge” giveaway featuring gaming consoles, computers, keyboards, chairs, and other accessories.

The video has more than 2 million views as of Friday afternoon.

The event was scheduled to start at 4 p.m., but by 3 p.m. the park was already full, according to NBC New York.

Maddrey claimed that the city had neither approved nor disapproved of the event.

Aerial footage from Friday afternoon showed a large crowd assembled in a Manhattan park. People could be seen standing on automobiles in the video, which appeared to show a battle.

Officers in plainclothes and uniform could be seen around the gathering, and at one point a loud bang could be heard.

By 5:30 p.m., people had started to leave the area and police had blocked all of the entrances. Teens in groups were giggling and saying they didn’t worry about their safety.

One 16-year-old, who went by the name Rodrigo, claimed to be a fan of Cenat and had come in hopes of winning cash or even a gaming device.

Then, he continued, “there was a huge storm of people running and there were cops everywhere.”

Two more teenagers claimed they went for the “vibes” and to meet Cenat, whom one of them called the “best person in the world,” but instead witnessed pushing, shoving, people throwing items, and a child who “almost passed out.”

Cenat has been making material for years, but his most popular Twitch streams include games, practical jokes, and funny reactions.

After finishing a 30-day nonstop livestream, colloquially known as a “subathon,” he smashed the Twitch record for most active subscribers in March.

The outlandish actions that Cenat is known for have put him into some issues on the platform.

The post A 13-run inning for the Angels was started by B2B2B HRs — on 3 pitches! appeared first on .

]]>

In the Angels’ game against the Rockies on Saturday at Coors Field, the third inning included an astounding 13 runs and came off only three pitches. The club homered on three straight pitches for the first time in almost three years, and the 13 runs tied a team record that had been set in both 1978 and 1997.

Opening the period with a solo drive on a 1-0 fastball from right-hander Chase Anderson, superstar Mike Trout then was followed by Brandon Drury, who also launched a single shot on a first-pitch cutter.

The Angels then recorded back-to-back-to-back home runs for the second time this season when Matt Thaiss leaped all over a first-pitch curveball for a dinger.

On April 23, against the Royals, Taylor Ward, Mike Trout, and Shohei Ohtani hit three straight home runs for the Angels. And the Yankees, who ironically also homered on three consecutive pitches from Anderson on September 17, 2020, were the previous team to accomplish the feat in only three pitches.

With his 17th home run of the year and his second in as many days, Trout got things going. Thaiss hit his fourth home run of the year, while Drury connected on his 13th blast of the year.

All three home runs were smashed into the thin Colorado air; Thaiss’ exited the bat at 108.5 mph and travelled a projected 399 feet to the right, Drury’s exited the bat at 105 mph and went a projected 437 feet to left, and Trout’s exited the bat at 110.5 mph and went to centre field, according to Statcast.

The Angels used it as the catalyst for a 13-run inning, and Ward and Ohtani subsequently added RBI singles. With two outs, Trout came up once more, but this time he walked to allow Drury, who had three RBIs in the inning, to hit a two-run single. With two outs, Thaiss also walked to load the bases for Hunter Renfroe, who then outfielded them with a double.

After Mickey Moniak hit a two-run home run to give the Angels a 15-0 advantage, newcomer Eduardo Escobar added an RBI single.

The Angels tied a franchise record with four home runs in one inning on May 28, 2000, in Kansas City, when they also accomplished the feat.

The third inning saw the Angels build up 10 hits and three walks, and it was ended by David Fletcher’s grounded out.

Less than 24 hours after launching a coup, Russian Wagner mercenary troops are reportedly beginning to leave Rostov-on-Don.

The leader of the group earlier claimed to have ordered his men to return to Ukraine in order to stop the bloodshed.

According to Russian official media, Yevgeny Prigozhin will now relocate to adjacent Belarus and all charges against him and his army will be withdrawn.

It marks the conclusion of a crazy and remarkable day in Russia.

Alongside the Russian army’s formal counterpart in Ukraine, The Wagner Group has been operating as a private army of mercenaries.

As Prigozhin vocally criticised Russia’s military leadership in recent months, tension between them had been rising over how the war had been fought.

The situation reached a boiling point on Saturday morning when Wagner mercenaries infiltrated Rostov-on-Don in southern Russia after crossing the border from their field camps in Ukraine.

They apparently grabbed control of the local military command and seized military installations in Voronezh, another city farther north, heading towards Moscow, in developments that happened in an instant.

The Kremlin tightened security in numerous areas, including Moscow, where the mayor of the capital city had advised citizens to avoid travelling, as the fighters began to march on the capital.

Additionally, there were alerts that tens of thousands of highly trained Chechen soldiers were their route to Moscow to repel the Wagner army.

Vladimir Putin, the president, responded by pledging to punish those who “betrayed” Russia.

According to Russian TV station Rossiya 24, the deal to abruptly defuse the situation was reached on Saturday night after conversations between Prigozhin and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.

A few hours later, a video supposedly showing Wagner forces departing Rostov and their leader being driven away while his fans cheered and shook his hand appeared online.

Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, claimed the situation was “complete chaos” in response to the day’s events.

“The Kremlin official is obviously quite frightened, and he’s probably hiding somewhere without revealing himself. I’m certain he’s not still in Moscow,” he declared in a statement.

He is aware of his fears because he initiated the danger. He is the cause of all bad things, losses, and enmity.

After flight tracking revealed that two presidential jets had departed Moscow on Saturday, there were suggestions that Mr. Putin had left the city.

Dmitry Peskov, the president’s press secretary, claimed the president was still in the Kremlin.

The criminal case against Prigozhin and his men will be ended, Mr. Peskov stated, and the arrest warrant for him would be withdrawn.

The press secretary said Wagner mercenaries still have time to agree to a deal with the Russian Ministry of Defence.

The post newest information on the Titanic sub: what is known about the quest for the OceanGate submersible appeared first on .

The North Atlantic is the scene of a significant search and rescue operation after a submersible probing the Titanic wreck vanished on Sunday.

One hour and forty-five minutes into the dive, the research vessel Polar Prince lost touch with the Titan sub’s crew. As of Tuesday about 13:00 EST (18:00 BST), the US Coast Guard believed that the sub had 40 hours of emergency oxygen remaining.

Government authorities have joined the rescue effort, and tour operator OceanGate said it was looking into every possibility to send the crew back home safely.

How far along is the rescue operation?

The size of the US state of Connecticut, or about 7,600 square miles, had been searched so far, according to US Coast Guard captain Jamie Frederick on Tuesday afternoon.

At least one remote-controlled submersible is now contributing to the search effort, and additional vessels are anticipated to join later on Tuesday.

The search, according to Capt. Frederick, was a “very complex” and “unique operation” made more challenging by the location’s isolation.

A commercial pipe-laying ship has arrived to assist, according to expedition leader and marine scientist David Mearns, who has been monitoring the operation.

We’re just hoping that it has the potential to look for the submersible and be able to recover it at those kinds of depths, 3,800 metres, he said. “There is a chance that might happen.”

Titan sub includes heated walls and a toilet with a curtain.
On Sunday morning, the Polar Prince made his initial approach to the Titanic wreck, while the Titan was set to begin its dive at an early hour of 4:00 local time. One hour and 45 minutes into its descent, at around 09:45 local time, the Titan lost touch with Earth.

The Polar Prince lost touch with the submersible, and it took some time before the US Coast Guard was alerted.

Eight hours after the incident was reported, at around 17:45, the Coast Guard claimed to have learned of it. The agency’s Boston command centre then started coordinating search operations.

The Titan submersible is believed to be 400 miles (643 km) south of St. Johns, Newfoundland, and 900 miles (1450 km) east of that city.

Rear Admiral John Mauger of the US Coast Guard stated on Monday that there are two parts to the search: a surface search in case the Titan has returned to the surface of the ocean but lost contact in some way, and an underwater sonar search.

In addition to a Canadian C-130 and a P8 aircraft with underwater sonar capability, the Coast Guard has sent two C-130 Hercules aircraft to search for the submersible on the water’s surface. Additionally, sonar buoys are being set very nearby.

According to Mr. Mauger, the Coast Guard has asked the US Navy and the commercial sector for assistance and that extra knowledge would be required to save the ship if it were discovered underwater.

The Canadian Coast Guard vessel Kopit Hopson was assisting in the search, according to the Canadian Department of Defence, along with the aircraft.

Former US undersecretary of defence Mike Mulroy told the BBC that the only ships likely capable of connecting with the submarine and hauling it to the surface would be specialised US Navy remote submersibles.

A second vessel, the Horizon Arctic, has also been despatched to the location, according to Horizon Maritime, which also shares ownership of the Polar Prince.

Who was in the crew?

Four of the five persons aboard the Titan have so far been identified: explorer and businessman Hamish Harding, 58; Shahzada Dawood, 48; and Suleman Dawood, 19; as well as 77-year-old French explorer Paul-Henry Nargeolet.

Earlier this month, Mr. Harding revealed his decision to join the group and noted that the crew of the ship includes “a few legendary explorers, some of whom have done over 30 dives to the RMS Titanic since the 1980s.”

Action Aviation, a multinational firm situated in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, that works with sales and operations in the business aviation sector, is chaired by Mr. Harding.

A family spokesman told the BBC that Paul-Henry Nargeolet, a French explorer, was also on board. The “Mr Titanic” explorer is a former French navy diver who has apparently spent the most time at the Titanic debris of any explorer.

According to OceanGate, each mission lasts eight days, and each dive is intended to have a scientific goal, such as examining the wreck’s deterioration.

The company’s website states that the first dive happened in 2021.

First-ever full-sized scans show a wreck in a previously unseen state.

How could it have possibly ended up?

Prof. Alistair Greig, a submarine expert at University College London, told Science Correspondent Pallab Ghosh that he has explored a variety of possibilities for the whereabouts of the lost submersible.

One is that following an emergency, it discharged a “drop weight” to lift it to the surface.

He explained that if there had been a communication or power loss, the submersible might have experienced this and been bobbing around on the surface looking for help.

He adds that another possibility is that the hull was damaged, causing a leak. The prognosis is poor, then.

There are very few options if it descends to the seafloor and is unable to ascend again on its own, according to Prof. Greig.

Watch: The filmed Stockton Rush, the CEO of the firm, aboard the Titanic submarine in 2022.

“While the submersible may still be in tact, very few vessels, and most definitely not divers, can reach depths of more than 200 metres (656 feet). The Titanic’s depth can’t even come close to being reached by the navy submarine rescue vehicles.

About the Titan, what do we know?

The Titan is a five-person submersible that can go at three knots, or around 3.5 miles per hour, down to depths of 4,000 metres (2.5 miles).

In addition to transporting divers to the Titanic wreck, it is utilised for deep water testing of hardware and software, site assessment and inspection, research, and data collection.

The Titan is “equipped with cutting-edge lighting and sonar navigation systems as well as internally and externally mounted 4K video and photographic equipment,” the manufacturer claims.

The five-person sub features a system for real-time hull monitoring, according to OceanGate’s website.

In order to evaluate the structural integrity of the sub, it incorporates sensors that analyse the impact of changing pressure on the sub as it dives.

The company claims that this onboard health analysis monitoring technology gives the pilot early warning detection so that they have time to safely stop their dive and return to the surface.

Rescue crews from the United States and Canada were looking for a submersible transporting five people to the Titanic’s wreckage on Monday after it vanished in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and had just four days or less of fuel left.

The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, said that the missing vessel was reported overdue Sunday night about 435 miles south of St. John’s, Newfoundland. The U.S. Coast Guard in Boston is in charge of the search for the missing vessel.

A commercial ship and two planes from each of the United States and Canada are helping with the search, according to Rear Adm. John Mauger, commander of the First Coast Guard District, and more resources will be deployed as the pursuit goes into the night.

The work is complicated by the operation’s location, which is up to 13,000 feet deep and about 900 miles east of Cape Cod, as well as the requirement to search both above and below the surface of the ocean, he said.

At a news conference, Mauger stated, “It is difficult to conduct a search in that remote location, but we are deploying all available means to make sure that we can find the craft and rescue the persons on board.

Contact with five crew members was lost.

The 21-foot “Titan” submersible, which departed from St. John’s, started its dive Sunday morning, according to a tweet from the Coast Guard. About an hour and a half later, the Canadian ship Polar Prince that was assisting the boat lost communication with it.

A deep-sea exploration business based in Washington, OceanGate Expeditions, stated in a statement that it was the owner of the submersible, a submarine family member that is smaller and less self-sufficient than the traditional military sub.

The company sends marine scientists and archaeologists on its voyages to the Titanic wreck site. As well as free travellers, OceanGate also sends “mission specialists.”

The five people in the submersible alternate between using the sonar equipment and conducting other chores. There were four “mission specialists” and one pilot, according to the Coast Guard’s report on Monday.

According to OceanGate, “we are extremely grateful for the significant support we have received from a number of governmental organisations and deep sea businesses in our efforts to reestablish contact with the submersible.” “We are working to ensure the crew members’ safe return.”

According to Mauger, the submersible has a 96-hour emergency sustainment capacity, which would include oxygen and fuel, based on information provided by the manufacturer. So, he continued, “We anticipate that there will be somewhere between 70 and the entire 96 hours available at this point.”

British traveller aboard

The Associated Press was informed by OceanGate adviser David Concannon that the corporation had lost contact with the submersible early on Sunday.

Officials are hurrying to send a remotely operated vehicle to the scene that can dive to a depth of 20,000 feet, according to Concannon, who claimed he had planned to go on the dive but had to postpone it due to an issue involving another customer. It is thought that the Titanic wreck is 12,500 feet below the surface.

British businessman Hamish Harding, the chairman of Action Aviation, was listed as a passenger. Last June, the seasoned traveller launched into space aboard a New Shepard rocket from Blue Origin.

On January 20, 2023 in Beverly Hills, California, Hamish Harding attends the Living Legends Of Aviation Awards ceremony at The Beverly Hilton.

According to the company’s managing director, Mark Butler, “every effort is being made for a rescue mission.” It’s still possible to organise a rescue operation. Equipment for survival in this situation is on board. We’re all wishing and praying that he returns unscathed.

A week ago, Harding was seen by Richard Garriott, head of the Explorers Club, a New York-based organisation that promotes scientific exploration, and “his excitement was palpable.”

“I know he was looking forward to conducting research at the site,” Garriott stated in a letter to the members. We all share the passionate wish that the crew is safe and the submersible is found as soon as possible.

She addressed “all the Dads out there!!!” in her statement. They are: She, He, Them, and They.

The Father’s Day greeting from Madonna is a considerate and inclusive homage that genuinely honours “all the dads out there.”

To all, Happy Father’s Day. Every father out there! They are: She, He, Them, and They. Making sure that no one who identifies as a father was forgotten on their special day, Madonna said on Instagram in the late afternoon of Sunday, June 18.

But most importantly, I want to thank my father Silvio, who once told me he would keep going until the wheels fell off. S.A. M. E.,” she wrote in the description of a post that included a recent selfie and a dashing old shot of her father, Silvio Ciccone.

Madonna, who presently has the singles “Popular” and “Vulgar” out and will shortly begin her career-spanning Celebration Tour, thanked her fans for their unwavering work ethic, love, and refusal to treat her in any way. I learned how to be a survivor from you! Always Grateful.

https://www.instagram.com/madonna/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=dc768c82-3d42-468d-a384-1282baf3f602

When she shared her memories of spending time at Silvio’s vineyard with her six children for his 90th birthday two years ago, Madonna reiterated similar feeling.
“My father is a survivor growing up as an Italian immigrant in the US and living thru many traumas but always working hard for everything he had,” she wrote as the description for the photo at the time. He showed me the value of working hard and making a living for oneself. Once more, thank you.

As he observes his first Father’s Day, John Mulaney is ecstatic.

The comedian shared how “lucky” he felt to be a parent on Instagram on Sunday. He and actress Olivia Munn have a boy named Malcolm Hip Mulaney.

Two pictures of the family unwinding by the sea were posted on Instagram with the remark, “You made me a dad, Olivia,” by Mulaney. “I will always love you for doing that.”

On Christmas Eve in 2021, the couple welcomed Baby Mulaney.

Mulaney shared a video of his child wishing him a “Happy Father’s Day” as Munn helped him sound it out in another Instagram post. He wrote as his caption, “Goddamn I’m a lucky guy.”

“These two fall more in love with each other every day for the past 18 months,” Munn said in a comment on Mulaney’s post. I’m lucky to have you as my son’s father.

There are spoilers in these interviews for the current Netflix original series “Black Mirror” episodes “Joan Is Awful,” “Mazey Day,” and “Beyond the Sea” from Season 6.

After a four-year break, the eagerly anticipated sixth season of “Black Mirror” returns and — appropriately — begins with “Joan is Awful,” an investigation into the questionable operations of a made-up streaming service called Streamberry.

In order to produce AI-driven, CGI-rendered semi-fictional dramas, Streamberry, which is more than a passing likeness to “Black Mirror’s” IRL production partner Netflix, co-opts consumers’ lives without their consent. Similar to, example, “Inventing Anna” (which received the OK of the named Anna Delvey but not her former BFF Rachel Williams, who sued the streamer for slander last year) or “The Crown” or “The Tinder Swindler” or “Narcos” or—you get the idea.

The fictionalised portrayal of Netflix in “Joan is Awful” gives viewers a glimpse into a dystopian future where, to misquote Nora Ephron, “everything is content,” right down to the “tudum” sound that accompanies Streamberry’s logo. It gives viewers the delicious feeling that the streamer is finally getting a taste of its own medicine.

The press junket for Season 6 was not unlike a press junket you could picture Streamberry organising, which is in keeping with “Black Mirror’s” talent for fusing fact, fiction, present, and future (see: the final mind-melting twist in “Joan is Awful,” which makes Christopher Nolan’s “Inception” look like an episode of “Peppa Pig”). A number of journalists from around the world were invited online into a confusing succession of virtual waiting rooms, where they were given only a few minutes to ask a few questions of the actors before being sent on their way.

Salma Hayek Pinault, Josh Hartnett, Kate Mara, and Clara Rugaard (who appear in Episode 3, “Beyond the Sea”) each received a four-minute interview slot from Variety, while Zazie Beetz, Danny Ramirez, and Clara Rugaard (Episode 4, “Mazey Day”) each received a five-minute slot.

The kind of arbitrary interval of time that makes you wonder about the purpose of the cosmos itself is four minutes, or 240 seconds. What is possible in just four minutes? A six-year-old can be prodded to put on their shoes a number of times (without success). In a space shuttle, you can get halfway around the earth. If you’re Justin Timberlake and Madonna, you can save the world.

If you’re a Variety reporter, it takes exactly four minutes to ask Kate Mara and Josh Hartnett five questions before a Streamberry publicist, sorry, a Netflix publicist, cuts you off at the two-minute mark by typing, “1 minute left. Please finish.

2+1 = 4? That is unquestionably “Black Mirror” maths.

Just a few hours prior to the virtual junket, Variety ran into “Black Mirror” creator Charlie Brooker standing quietly in London’s Leicester Square under a statue of William Shakespeare, adding to the impression that we may have entered what Michael Cera reveals to be Fictive Level One. He had come to take part in a demonstration in favour of the WGA writers’ strike. There were no Streamberry PRs present to shoo Variety away under the watchful eye of England’s most well-known writer, and Brooker appeared to be amenable to conversation.

He justified his support for the strike by saying, “I worry for a living — it’s basically what I do— and I’m really worried about AI and the use of ChatGPT and stuff like that. I’m here because I’m very concerned about that, so that’s why. Did his concerns about AI play any role in “Joan is Awful”? Brooker responded, “That was written and finished before ChatGPT and anything like that launched.

Oh. Then again, was that simply him speculating about the future? Sadly, in this instance, he said.

In spite of the fact that you can’t completely stop the genie from escaping, he said, “I do think they’re useful tools for writers in the same way photoshop is a useful tool for illustrators, photographers, and so on.” “So I’m not sure. Knowing how you govern it and what kind of agreement there is is above my pay grade. But I believe it must be.” Brooker mockingly distorted his voice to resemble a sci-fi overlord and uttered, “controoolled.”

There you have it, then. Discover what else Variety was able to elicit from some of the Season 6 cast members in the following paragraphs.

But I believe it must be.” Brooker mockingly distorted his voice to resemble a sci-fi overlord and uttered, “controoolled.”

Oh, and Streamberry, if we accidentally wind up in a “Black Mirror” episode, could you note that we’d prefer to be portrayed by AI-generated likenesses of Blake Lively, Anne Hathaway, and Michelle Yeoh.

The statement

“JOAN IS AWFUL”

In “Joan Is Awful,” Annie Murphy’s Joan learns that Salma Hayek is starring in a dramatic rendition of her life that has just been released on a major streaming service. As her life falls apart, Joan takes increasingly extreme steps to end the show, including stuffing herself full of cheeseburgers, taking laxatives and going to the toilet in front of a packed church.

You portray yourself in this episode, Salma. Did you provide Charlie Brooker any feedback on your genuine speaking style? And do you believe that you resemble the version of yourself that we see in “Black Mirror” in any way?

Salma Hayek: I did share a few aspects about myself with Charlie, like the fact that I struggle with reading. Is this the real me, though? No, but it was a lot of fun to play about with various perceptions of what people would think of me, to laugh at them, to find humour in them, and to take them to their logical conclusions. In addition, I’m portraying [Joan] as a more severe version of myself. It was just so enjoyable.

What came to mind as you read the laxative scene in the church, Annie? Were you hesitant to go there in any way?

There was never any ambivalence about any of this, according to Annie Murphy. I received a call informing me of this deal. I didn’t think twice. What the part or the nature of the show was didn’t matter to me. I merely wanted to participate in the show. It just kept checking boxes until we reached that scene, at which point I yelled, “Put me in! This is what I want to do.

Tell them about me, Hayek!

Salma then said, “Don’t ever put me in!” Murphy This is awful and abhorrent.

Hayek: The exact opposite response! Like attracts like!

Murphy: It was truly a dream come true to learn that Salma Hayek would be my coworker. Salma fucking Hayek.

Particularly given that artificial intelligence is a big topic in the ongoing WGA strike, the episode feels incredibly timely. Have you realised how ideal the timing of this release is?

Hayek: Yes, it’s somewhat intriguing. When we were shooting it, it was already on time. Only a few months have passed, and already the worry has set in. Future time is not something we’re considering. Charlie has caught up with technology! like it regularly does. — Katcy Stephan

“BEYOND THE SEA”

Josh Hartnett and Aaron Paul portray two astronauts in the middle of a six-year space mission in “Beyond the Sea,” which is set in the 1960s. They can transmit their consciousness into realistic copies back on Earth in order to stay sane. The spaceman starts to unravel when bloodthirsty hippies decimate Hartnett’s family and ruin his copy. Paul gives Hartnett his duplicate out of pity and self-preservation, but he soon starts to wonder if there might be a relationship between his co-pilot and his wife (Kate Mara).

Josh, were you present to give him advice on how you may behave in his body in the farmhouse sequences where Aaron Paul plays you occupying his replica?

Josh Hartnett: No, they didn’t give me that opportunity.

So there weren’t any scenes between you and Kate in real life?

No to both.

How did the two of you become engaged with “Black Mirror” this season?

As the only person associated to this particular script when it was sent to me, Kate Mara said, “I was immediately fascinated because I love “Black Mirror.” I went into reading it with no prior knowledge, which was unquestionably the proper approach given that the novel has several significant twists, revelations, and other surprises. The topics of this one and the relationship my character has with both males really caught my attention.

Hartnett: I kind of acted in the opposite way. With “Black Mirror,” I would have done anything, but I didn’t have time to read the script until a week before. My reps, I believe, went after them, essentially saying, “I hear you’re coming back to do something new—Josh would love to be a part of it.” Then, a week before we began filming, they called and offered me the part and emailed it to me.

What a speedy turnaround, wow. Which “Black Mirror” episode do you prefer?

Mara: My favourite is “Nosedive” from Season 3 with Bryce Dallas Howard. There are so many excellent ones, but I adore her and think her performance in that is outstanding-KJ Yossman

In “MAZEY DAY”

“Mazey Day” takes place in the early 2000s, when paparazzi sales were at their peak. Zazie Beetz portrays a surprisingly likeable tabloid reporter who wants to leave the industry but is seduced by a sizable offer from a fellow reporter at another publication, Danny Ramirez. The objective is Clara Rugaard’s portrayal of actress Mazey Day, who seems to be going through a drug detox. However, her true ailment is much more evil.

Your episode of “Black Mirror” is unique among all others since it features a supernatural subplot. When you read the script, were you surprised?

Zazie Beetz: I admit I was taken aback. However, I also think it’s good to have an episode that is a little different and takes a different approach to the “Black Mirror” world than what we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

This episode also demonstrates the negative aspects of paparazzi. If you based your performance on a personal encounter, may I ask what it was? Or have you discovered something via researching this world that has changed your perspective on paparazzi?

Beetz: I’m not “papped” all that frequently. However, Danny and I saw the documentary “Smash His Camera” about a paparazzi by the name of Ron Galella. And it’s a wonderful documentary—I highly suggest it. It’s intriguing how he approaches it almost as a craft. He enjoys it and is both documenting culture and participating in the current cultural moment. And it’s so fascinating because he loves rabbits and has such a magnetic personality. It, in my opinion, gives a sympathetic face to a profession that many people, I believe, do demonise. And I believe that in order to effectively portray my role, I must empathise.

I therefore made an effort to understand her motives. She also wonders the morality of what she is doing on her own. So, I hope that doesn’t come across as me passing judgement on her, because I tried not to.

Aside from your own, which other “Black Mirror” episode is your favourite?

Danny Ramirez says, “Hang the DJ.” My jaw dropped when I saw it. It’s also probably one of the ones with the most hope, in my opinion.

Clara Rugaard (Ph. I’ll say, “San Junipero.” Every time, we change our responses because there are simply too many viable options. But that has such a tragic, uplifting, lovely, and romantic quality about it. I thought about it a lot for a while.
