‘Foundation’ Star Cherry Jones on Season 3’s Most Surprising Pairing

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-28 17:15:25

Ambassador Quent (The Handmaid’s Tale‘s Cherry Jones) is one of Foundation season three’s most intriguing new characters. As the Foundation’s ambassador on Trantor, she’s spent decades living alongside Empire—who are technically her enemy, but she’s grown quite close with the Cleons, especially Brother Dusk (Terrence Mann). In last week’s episode, “Foundation’s End,” Quent—her first name is Felice, we learn from Dusk—watched in horror as the Foundation’s home planet, New Terminus, fell to the v

I first ran into Forth about 20 years ago when reading a book about designing embedded hardware. The reason I got the book back then was to actually learn more about the HW aspects, so having skimmed the Forth chapter I just registered an "oh, this is neat" mental note and moved on with my life. Over the last two decades I heard about Forth a few more times here and there, such as that time when Factor was talked about for a brief period, maybe 10-12 years ago or so.

The White House Is Going to Put Government Statistics on the Blockchain (Yeah, We Don’t Know Why Either)

Remember back in 2017 when Bitcoin’s price soared and companies started promising to add everything to the blockchain? It was an embarrassing era, since blockchain technology has very few practical purposes that can’t be solved by a regular, old-school database. But it sounds like the White House just got the memo and wants to usher in the world of 2017 again. President Donald Trump held a televised “cabinet meeting ” at the White House on Tuesday that clocked in at over 3 hours and 15 minutes.

Lenovo IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1 Review: Barely Squeaking By

Budget laptops are finally improving. Extra RAM and more efficient processors are making cheap laptops significantly more pleasant to use and recommend. However, the Lenovo IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1 is somewhat of an old-school budget laptop. It uses a cheaper Intel chip, which compromises performance and battery life, and at first glance, it appears to be overpriced.
