“Thank you Bad Bunny, thank you for being who you are, thank you for representing us and having us in your heart and soul,” she wrote in a Facebook post. It’s excellent that Bad Bunny is raising his voice for Puerto Rico. He said Bad Bunny's video is a “clear description” of the reality that Puerto Ricans live day by day.

I have only met them a few times, which is why this whole experience has been so weird, being like 'Oh we play the same person, but I've never really met you'."

The following contains spoilers about the fifth episode of "House of the Dragon," which premiered Sept. 18. (CNN) "House of the Dragon's" fifth episode is actually significant for logistical reasons, essentially marking the end of the chapter before the show time jumps ahead, featuring older versions of some characters and somewhat shuffling the deck. The strides made in terms of greater inclusion have coincided with debate about how those characters are portrayed and the fates that they meet, giving rise to a much-discussed trope known as "Bury Your Gays."

That ratchets up the pressure to sink or swim -- or rather, soar or sputter -- strictly on its own terms. (As an aside, all those flowing blond-white Targaryen locks should lock up a hairdressing Emmy, if nothing else.)

But despite covering more than 70% of the Earth’s surface, the ocean is still a relative mystery. While working at NASA, he developed technology to power ocean robots by harnessing “the naturally occurring temperature difference” of the sea, Chao told CNN Business. This dives a kilometer down to examine the chemistry and shape of the seabed, using sonar to create a map of the surrounding area. Attaching Seatrec’s energy system adds another $25,000, Chao said. “Unlike mapping the Earth’s surface where we can use a camera [or] satellites, at sea, light does not penetrate through the water column.
