CNN —It’s been 30 years since Steven Spielberg’s dinosaurs stampeded across the screen in the first “Jurassic Park,” but it feels more recent. Admittedly, I was the exact target audience for this creature feature, and even though I was already somewhat of a self-taught critic (note the aforementioned mouthiness), I was awed by what I saw that summer three decades ago, and my impressions of “Jurassic Park” remain to this day.

His Starlink satellites provide “internet to the most remote areas,” including boats on “waters all around the world.” Twitter will give us the unvarnished, uncensored news that the mainstream press quashes. The result, which Mr. Musk champions, has been an outpouring of individual truths on the site. Chief among the citizen journalists tweeting forth their truths is Mr. Musk himself. Promoting Twitter-style “free speech,” Mr. Musk eschews debate, dialogue, argument. Instead of promoting the dialogue across ideological boundaries that we require, Mr. Musk sows mistrust, which deepens the divide.

Trump claimed that courthouse workers were crying and saying '2024 sir' when he was arraigned. But a law enforcement source told Yahoo News Trump's claims on Fox News were "absolute BS." There were zero people saying 'I'm sorry,'" the source told Yahoo. District attorney employees then provided lotion for his fingers, the source told Isikoff. "People that work there, professionally work there, that have no problems putting in murderers, and they see everybody," Trump told Carlson.

Former President Donald Trump "should have smiled" for news cameras on Tuesday. Instead, photos from his court appearance projected "low energy," a crisis management expert told Insider"That's a visual that's going to live now and forever," the expert, Max Marcucci said. "He called Jeb Bush 'low energy,'" said Marcucci, who has advised clients on court appearances. Before his indictment, The New York Times reported Trump "mused openly" about whether he should smile for news cameras when making a court appearance. Given his performance Tuesday, Marcucci said, Trump's defense team appears to have their "unweildy client" under control.

If you want to raise successful children, start showing optimism on a regular basis. "Our beliefs and attitudes spill over to our kids," educational psychologist and parenting expert Michele Borba tells CNBC Make It. "If pessimism always builds and it becomes personal, permanent, or pervasive, it robs our kids of hope." "I think it's one of the reasons why we're seeing such a huge mental health crisis in our children," Borba says. "It's not just the eavesdropping on what we say," Borba says, noting that older kids especially can pick up on physical cues that you're stressed or worried.

☆ Crisis communicators say Trump should smile for his perp walk. He may even want to stage his own.

Trump is reportedly wondering if he should smile for his perp walk and whether he can be handcuffed. Crisis communicators say "yes" to the smile and "no" to cuffs if he is indicted in New York. If prosecutors decide to march him in front of news cameras for a "perp walk," should he smile? But it's unlikely that the Manhattan district attorney's office will arrange a perp walk for Trump if he's indicted and turns himself in. In that case, Marcucci said he could see Trump organizing a perp walk on his own.

Fetuses in the womb scowled after their mothers ate kale but smiled after they ate carrots, according to a new study of around 100 pregnant women and their fetuses in England. Thirty-five women consumed the equivalent of one medium carrot, and 34 women consumed the equivalent of 100 grams of chopped kale. An image from the FETAP (Fetal Taste Preferences) study showing a grimacing reaction to kale flavor. The grimaces in the ultrasounds "might be just the muscle movements which are reacting to a bitter flavor," Reissland said. In designing the new study, Reissland and her team chose powdered kale and carrots over juices or raw vegetables for a few reasons.
