Yes, the White House just released this picture, acknowledging the President’s mash-up of Star Wars and Star Trek.
The Washington Post:
“Woodward first spouted off in The Post, then spouted off further to two Politico reporters, Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei, who used to work with Woodward at The Post, whose reporter now is following up the Politico article by quoting Woodward about a story initiated by Woodward himself.”

Jay-Z: Keeping It Real is About The Details
“I know the phrase keeping it real has been killed to the point where it doesn’t even mean anything anymore in rap but to me it’s essential. The realness comes from how an MC shapes whatever their experience is into a rhyme. It’s the logic in the lyrics that follow, the emotional truth that supports it, the human motivations that the MC fills in, and the commitment to getting even the smallest details right. That’s probably true for all stories, whether they’re in books or movies or songs.
When I first watched Menace II Society, I had no idea whether or not the Hughes brothers had lived the life they descirbed - or to be honest, if anyone did - but when I saw the opening scene, I immediately believed the story was real. It was because of the details, the way the smoke filled that red-lit room, the little pistol homebody’s dad whipped out, Marvin Gaye soul spinning on the turntable… You might say, “Well it was a fictional story, and those weren’t real people, they were actors.” But the film was executed in a way that made it real - everybody, the writers, the actors, the set designers, tapped into something true.”

seems like “realistic” is a stretch here…
