We have celebrated a lot of June 2nds together and since slide nine we've tripled in size."
"I'm so proud of us - making it through some of these days seems impossible but you are always there to cook or pack a meal, keep us caffeinated, carry all the bags, let me add one more stop/plan to our day, have a last minute party, or add a new animal into our already pulling at the seams life," she continued.

Why Tommy Vercetti can't return in GTA 6 according to Rockstar's own timeline
Source: Rockstar Games Tommy Vercetti, the legendary GTA: Vice City protagonist, is still one of the most iconic characters in the series. As GTA 6 is coming back to a Vice City-themed locale, everyone is wondering if Tommy will be back. But according to Rockstar's own story architecture and universe division, the return of Tommy won't happen, and here's why it won't. The GTA universe split makes Tommy's return impossible Rockstar Games formally divides its games into two separate universes: the "3D Universe" and the "HD Universe." Tommy Vercetti is part of the former, in which GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas exist. While GTA IV, GTA V, and GTA 6 fall under the HD Universe, a new chronology with no continuity with the previous games. In an official 2009 Q&A, Rockstar made it official that characters from the 3D Universe would not migrate to HD titles because of shifts in tone, writing, and world-building. What this implies is that Tommy, as a legendary character, is stuck in his own timeline and not part of the GTA 6 world. Since GTA 6 is introducing fresh new protagonists in Lucia and Jason, there simply is no narrative space, or timeline continuity, for Tommy to make a comeback. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo Fans can still receive subtle nods or Easter eggs Although a complete return is not in the picture, Rockstar has a reputation for finding subtle ways to refer back to its heritage. Rumor has it that sections of GTA 6's environment, particularly its iteration of Vice City, might have visual or environmental nods to Tommy. A residence akin to his from Vice City was seen in the second GTA 6 trailer, and it fueled fan speculation about an oblique homage. A street name, a radio spot, or apparel based on Tommy's iconic fashion has also been proposed by fans as a potential Easter egg. These Easter eggs would not disrupt the timeline but could be nostalgic references for veteran players, without redoing the rules Rockstar has so thoroughly defined. While the idea of Tommy Vercetti returning in GTA 6 is exciting, it doesn't align with Rockstar's universe logic. The split between 3D and HD universes makes a direct return nearly impossible. Still, fans can look forward to subtle tributes that keep his legacy alive in a new era of Grand Theft Auto. Also Read: How GTA 5's map made its way into a 2017 Indian action movie

Is Japan In Danger? Tourism Takes A Hit After July 5 Manga ‘Prediction'
Last Updated: The manga, titled The Future I Saw, claimed that a major disaster would hit Japan on July 5. Japan is experiencing a noticeable decline in holiday bookings from parts of Asia, and many believe an unlikely source, a 25-year-old manga, is behind it. Tourists from countries like South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong are reportedly cancelling or postponing trips due to fears sparked by a prediction in the comic. According to The Guardian, the manga, titled The Future I Saw, was created by Ryo Tatsuki and first released in 1999. It became popular again after people noticed it had mentioned a 'great disaster" in March 2011, which is the same month Japan faced a deadly earthquake and tsunami. A new edition of the book came out in 2021. In it, Tatsuki claimed that another major disaster would hit Japan on July 5, 2025. This claim led to a flood of posts warning people to stay away from Japan. There is no scientific proof behind the claims spreading online, but many are taking Tatsuki's words seriously because March 2011 saw a horrific disaster which killed over 18,000 people and caused the triple meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Japan's public broadcaster NHK reported that over 1,400 YouTube videos have been made about the manga's predictions. Together, they have been viewed more than 100 million times. Some videos go as far as predicting volcanic eruptions and meteor strikes. NHK also said that the updated manga has sold nearly 1 million copies. Bloomberg Intelligence, using travel data from ForwardKeys, reported that flight bookings to Japan from Hong Kong dropped by 50 per cent compared to last year. For travel dates in late June and early July, the drop was as much as 83 per cent. A travel agency in Hong Kong said bookings during the April-May spring holidays were also down by half compared to last year. Greater Bay Airlines, which usually sees strong demand during cherry blossom season and Easter, was surprised by the low numbers. 'We expected around 80% of the seats to be taken, but actual reservations came to only 40%," said Hiroki Ito, general manager of the airline's Japan office, in an interview with a Japanese daily, as quoted by The Guardian. Other airlines, including Hong Kong Airlines, have also cut flights to Japan. Local officials are now stepping in to stop the panic. Yoshihiro Murai, the governor of Miyagi, one of the worst-hit regions during the 2011 disaster, urged people not to believe in the unfounded story, which has started to affect local tourism. Japan lies in an earthquake-prone area known as the Pacific 'Ring of Fire." Experts agree that while the risk of a big earthquake is real, no one can predict exactly when or where it will happen. In April, a government report warned that a quake in the Nankai Trough could kill nearly 3,00,000 people and destroy millions of buildings. It also said there is an 80 per cent chance of such a disaster happening in the next 30 years. Despite the growing panic, Tatsuki herself has asked readers not to take her predictions too seriously. In a recent interview with a Japanese daily, she also urged people to listen to the opinions of experts.

Make superheroes great again: Superman can fly, but still can't escape the algorithm
In 1938, Superman leapt onto the pages of Action Comics #1 in red trunks and righteous fury. He stopped locomotives, lifted green Buicks over his head - and he stood for something. Now, in 2025, Superman is back in cinemas next month in James Gunn's eponymous movie with a new actor (David Corenswet).But this time around, Superman's biggest villain isn't Lex Luthor, or General Zod. It's the feed. The Man of Steel's up against TikTok thirst traps, AI-generated Keanu Reeves romcoms, and 11-sec clips of pandas falling off slides. Somewhere in between doomscrolling and watching a makeup tutorial that turns into a philosophy lecture, a trailer for the new Superman movie dropped this week. We nod. We move on. Superheroes aren't just competing for attention. They're auditioning for it. Superheroes are now metadata. The industry doesn't ask: what does this hero mean right now? It asks: how many quadrants can we hit? Is there synergy with the gaming division? Will this trend on social media?And that's how we end up with content that's been audience-tested within an inch of its soul. Every scene exists so it can be screen-grabbed. Every emotion is framed with just enough room for a reaction video. Look, everyone likes a surprise. A good plot twist, a clever reference, even a cheeky cameo. But Easter eggs used to be exactly that - eggs. Now they're the whole no longer enough to tell a story. You have to tease 10 others. A throwaway line about 'the multiverse collapsing' gets picked apart in 300 Reddit threads. Half the audience is watching the movie. The other half is watching for clues. Yes, fans love decoding things. But when every film is a trailer for another film, it stops being storytelling and starts being golden age of superhero films wasn't 'golden' because they were bigger. It was because they were grounded. Arguably, most of them were all franchise films. Batman was already on his 6th outing, Iron Man kicked off a whole cinematic universe. And Spider-Man had a cereal deal before the trailer dropped. But, back then, the films still knew how to stay Dark Knight wasn't juggling timelines. Iron Man was just trying not to get blown up in a cave. Even Spider-Man 2 (yes, the Tobey Maguire one) spent a good 20 mins exploring the emotional fallout of missing rent. Now we get shared universes, cross-promotional world-building, and plotlines with all the narrative weight of a dry PowerPoint transition. The foundation has cracked. It's all scaffolding you strip away the X-ray vision and the flying, Superman is a guy trying to figure out how to do the right thing in a complicated world. He's an alien who's spent his entire life trying to be more human. That's not just good material - it's timeless. The problem is, we've stopped treating it like it reboot wants to 'modernise' Superman. Update the costume. Grayscale the colour palette. Make him question everything. Give him a brooding backstory, and a long stare into the rain. We don't need more reinvention. We need recollection. Superman doesn't need to be made edgier. He needs to be made worth asking: why does a lo-fi 15-sec video of someone making butter chicken from scratch get more love than a $200 mn superhero film? Because one feels like it means something. The other feels like it means something else is coming in was a time when superheroes weren't trying to be viral. They weren't teasing spinoffs. They weren't selling NFTs. They were about values, sure. But they were also weird. They were unpredictable. They were occasionally absurd. A kid bitten by a radioactive spider? A man with a magic hammer? A guy who literally talks to fish? And, yet, it the stories were honest. Not perfect, not polished, not algorithm-proof. Just this: the new Superman film ends. And that's it. No setup for Superman: Epoch. No holographic tease of Brainiac. No slow pan to a glowing green rock in a government bunker. Just the story. Fully told. Curtains down. People might walk out of the theatre... satisfied. When was the last time that happened?Superheroes won't be great again because of better CGI, or cleverer scripts, or tighter multiverse logic. They'll be great again when we stop trying to turn them into streaming architecture. Give us stories. Not strategies. (Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this column are that of the writer.
