There are some partnerships that feel completely natural and obvious on paper yet take astoundingly long to come to fruition. One collaboration is, at last, getting a chance to shine: that of comedian Damon Wayans and his son, fellow comedian Damon Wayans Jr. 63-year-old Wayans is a standup comedian known for a solid stint on Saturday Night Live. He also served as a writer and performer for Fox’s In Living Color. His son is equally successful, known for starring as as Brad Williams in the ABC sitcom Happy Endings. Now, the two will be working together for the CBS sitcom, Poppa’s House. Damon Wayans is excited to “finally” work with his equally-talented son in a new sitcom BLANKMAN, Damon Wayans, 1994, (c) Columbia/courtesy Everett Collection At the start of May, Wayans was all too excited to announce a project with his son Damon. “It’s almost time for the double Ds, ya’ll!” he teaased in an Instagram post. “‘Poppas House’ is OTW! This fall on #cbs.” The post is accompanied by a video showing the two comedians bounce off of one another.

But [Wayans Jr.’s] people didn’t think I was ready yet. But it’s been in the making. We’ve been talking about it for a while and it just finally kind of came together.” Playing to every strength a team made up of this father-son duo has to offer Damon Wayans is excited to work with his son in a project that’s been ten years in the making / YouTube screenshot Both Wayans and Damon have proved themselves capable of producing quality content independently. For his performance in Happy Endings, Jr. was nominated for the Critics’ Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series back in 2012. He’s also quite familiar with handling prominent roles, having also played Coach in the Fox sitcom New Girl, along with a starring role in the movie Let’s Be Cops, which greatly eclipsed its budget of $17 million thanks to $138.2 million at the box office. Fans got a teaser of Wayans working with Damon thanks to the Showtime sketch comedy series The Underground, which featured Wayans in a starring role, as well as his son. The Underground was designed to be “In Living Color on steroids,” according to Wayans, who also proudly boasted, “We decided to test the limits.” The show’s description vowed, “The future of comedy is here in Damon Wayan’s hilarious and uninhibited comedy sketch show where no topic or taboo goes unturned.” 413 HOPE ST., (aka 413 HOPE STREET), Damon Wayans, (creator, executive producer), 1997-1998. ph: Lisa Hergo / TM and Copyright ©20th Century Fox Film Corp.

And when we make each other laugh, then it’s infectious.” Kevin Hench is tapped to serve as executive producer, and has already co-written the series polite with Wayans and Damon. Poppa’s House will air on CBS on Monday nights this autumn.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Damon Wayans Yunior?

Lisa Marie Presley remains in the hearts of her kids and fans after her tragic passing from a fatal bowel obstruction due to bariatric surgery complications. Her 15-year-old daughter Finley Lockwood took to Instagram on Sunday with a heartfelt Mother’s Day tribute for the late singer alongside a throwback photo. “Happy Mother’s Day to the best mom ever,” Finley wrote. The post featured Finley and her twin sister Harper all dressed up as princesses with Lisa Marie in a tiara as well. “Even though we can’t celebrate with you I’m still so grateful for all our memories,” Finley wrote. Her older sister, Riley Keough, reposted the photos to her own Instagram story, echoing similar sentiments about their late mom. Priscilla Presley reflects on losing her only daughter, Lisa Marie Presley   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Finley and Harper (@fin.and.harpy) Being a mother herself, Priscilla Presley has had a hard time getting over the death of Lisa Marie, who was her only child with the famous Elvis Presley. She admitted to Entertainment Tonight that Lisa Marie has remained in her daily thoughts, and she still finds it hard to believe she is gone. “I miss my daughter very, very much, and it was a shock to all of us,” she said. RELATED: Lisa Marie Presley’s Twin Daughters Pose For Rare Photo With Grandmother Priscilla Presley Priscilla added that Lisa Marie was unhappy during her final years, especially after losing her only son, Benjamin, to suicide in 2020. In the actress’ words, “That was really when she just didn’t want to be here.” Lisa Marie had famously described herself as being “ferociously protective” of her kids, all of whom she called her priority.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Finley and Harper (@fin.and.harpy) Although Lisa Marie enjoyed a loving relationship with her kids, hers and Priscilla’s had its share of problems, with a source revealing that Priscilla was too controlling. The insider added that their relationship was complicated, especially because Lisa Marie wanted the trust and Graceland to go to her children. After Lisa Marie’s passing, Priscilla debunked rumors of any family feud, urging her fans to “ignore the noise.”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lisa Marie Presley (@lisampresley) Stoking more controversy, the 78-year-old had challenged “the authenticity and validity” of a “purported 2016 amendment” to Lisa Marie’s trust just four days after her memorial service in Memphis. The late singer had named Riley and Benjamin as co-trustees after allegedly removing Priscilla and her former business manager, Barry Siegel, as beneficiaries. Riley later came forward in defense of her grandmother, clarifying that the legal disagreement was “misconstrued” to the public.

Gravitational wave astronomy has been one of the hottest new types of astronomy ever since the LIGO consortium officially detected the first gravitational wave (GW) back in 2016. Astronomers were excited about the number of new questions that could be answered using this sensing technique that had never been considered before. But a lot of the nuance of the GWs that LIGO and other detectors have found in the 90 gravitational wave candidates they have found since 2016 is lost.  Researchers have a hard time determining which galaxy a gravitational wave comes from. But now, a new paper from researchers in the Netherlands has a strategy and developed some simulations that could help narrow down the search for the birthplace of GWs. To do so, they use another darling of astronomers everywhere—gravitational lensing. Importantly, GWs are thought to be caused by merging black holes. These catastrophic events literally distort space-time to the point where their merger causes ripples in gravity itself. However, those signals are extraordinarily faint when they reach us—and they are often coming from billions of light-years away.  Detectors like LIGO are explicitly designed to search for those signals, but it’s still tough to get a strong signal-to-noise ratio. Therefore, they’re also not particularly good at detailing where a particular GW signal comes from. They can generally say, “It came from that patch of sky over there,” but since “that patch of sky” could contain billions of galaxies, that doesn’t do much to narrow it down. Fraser discusses the crazy physics that happen when black holes run into each other. But astronomers lose a lot of context regarding what a GW can tell them about its originating galaxy if they don’t know what galaxy it came from. That’s where gravitational lensing comes in. Gravitational lenses are a physical phenomenon whereby the signal (in most cases light) coming from a very faraway object is warped by the mass of an object that lies between the further object and us here on Earth. They’re responsible for creating “Einstein Rings,” some of the most spectacular astronomical images. Light is not the only thing that can be affected by mass, though—gravitational waves can, too. Therefore, it is at least possible that gravitational waves themselves could be warped by the mass of an object between it and Earth. If astronomers are able to detect that warping, they can also tell which specific galaxy in an area of the sky the GW sign is coming from.  Once astronomers can track down the precise galaxy, creating a gravitational wave, the sky is (not) the limit. They can narrow down all sorts of characteristics not only of the wave-generating galaxy itself but also of the galaxy in front of it, creating the lens. But how exactly should astronomers go about doing this work? Fraser celebrates the workhorses of the GW detector stable – LIGO and VIRGO – coming back online after upgrades. That is the focus of the new paper from Ewoud Wempe, a PhD student at the University of Groningen, and their co-authors. The paper details several simulations that attempt to narrow down the origin of a lensed gravitational wave. In particular, they use a technique similar to the triangulation that cell phones use to determine where exactly they are in relation to GPS satellites.  Using this technique can prove fruitful in the future, as the authors believe there are as many as 215,000 potential GW lensed candidates that would be detectable in data sets from the next generation of GW detectors. While those are still coming online, the theoretical and modeling worlds remain hard at work trying to figure out what kind of data would be expected for different physical realities of this newest type of astronomical observation.

Mainstream media continues defending what they characterized for years as a conspiracy theory.

Though there’s rarely a (public) explanation of why these weird codenames were assigned, that doesn’t make them any less amusing.
