Started playing Need for Speed Unbound. Not loving it an hour in (art style is fun though) and a big part of that is: Open worlds haven't been impressive as a concept for a very long time now. And I don't want them in my racing games. I want to drive the race; not drive to the race.

ppl like to talk abt the Olympics and pro sports but in reality laws banning trans girls from playing women’s sports mostly impact children. Look at this girl. She’s a fucking baby and her state spent days, weeks, months crafting legislation specifically to bully her

The best review of the new Star Trek show is the one that makes me think I'll like it. I fucking hate fandoms.

Only just got around to reading that NCR editorial and the Catholics are not holdin' back.

the Catholic Church being right about 60% of the time these days takes some getting used to

There's a really exhausting and frustrating refusal of some Americans to contend with what is very clearly happening there re: fascism. Secret police shooting a woman in the face for no reason is not "bait." The invasion of Venezuela is not "a distraction from the Epstein files."

I love the fact that a generation of British kids were taught how to cross roads by Batman and Darth Vader.

BATMAN KERB DRILL (1967): Holy PIF! While on a promotional tour for Batman, Adam West filmed this road safety public information film for British kids, in character as the caped crusader, and it's every bit as wonderful as you'd expect.

Well that's pretty, ain't it?

"This is the third week, third win with a bonus point, HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN IT KYLE STEYN?!" Magnificent post match question.

He pronounces it "HAITCH" and I hereby retract everything nice I've ever said about him. He should be fired immediately and never be seen near a microphone ever again.

"My TMO's just watched it, Kyle, so you've just trotted thirty metres for no reason." 😝 #CLEvGLA

Honestly Dan, I think I could have kicked that one... #CLEvGLA

Now seems an appropriately spicy time to remind people I really like Luke Pearce as a referee. #CLEvGLA

This wouldn't be happening if they hadn't gotten rid of Vern. #CLEvGLA

It says quite a bit about his usual output, none of it good, that the sentence, "even Brendan O'Neill thinks ICE shouldn't murder people," exists.

I miss playing Mass Effect multiplayer. It was very limited, but because it was co-op, it was one of few multiplayer shooters I actually enjoyed, even if it was drowning in EA's lootbox fever.

Yes, obviously. But also swap "UK Government" for "half of you that I fucking know kept your accounts open."

"A video of a Rhino playing with a baby deer in the snow" is such an AI Gen sentence and yet... here's reality for ya.

Shave that heid and tell me Ross Greer isn't morphing into Patrick Harvie. That is real continuity of leadership, boys and girls. Bravo.

"If it didn't work you took it out and blew into the end."

lmao

Am I the only one who finds it funny that a movie called "Greenland" 2 is coming out RIGHT NOW, with the subtitle “Migration”, and the tagline “5 years ago the world ended, that was just the beginning”?

Remember that bit in Picard when the ship was facing imminent destruction and everyone went to the pub on the holodeck to get pissed? Amazing storytelling.

The thing people (and apparently the Taoiseach) somehow refuse to accept about Grok and X is that it isn’t a platform being misused or abused, it is a platform working exactly as intended by its owner. It is meant to be a racist, misogynistic, far right propaganda tool and it is

"Nuance" meaning "cops encountered a situation regular Americans deal with every single day and responded with murderous gunfire"

Got some sort of virus. So I've ordered pizza to infect the delivery driver, everyone they deliver to, the city, the country, the world. You will all share in my pain.

Christopher Moltisanti will return in AVENGERS DOOMSDAY

Most of the London-crime chat is just code for racism. They don't really mean that an area is dangerous. They mean that it contains black people/Muslims and want to insinuate that this entails danger.

They still make these apparently. Best Christmas present ever?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

"International law is fake and gay" god they are all teenagers aren't they

Conservatives love Star Trek - the show about the communist space vegans. And the reason is simple. Surface level watching. Cool ships, military uniforms, pew pew. Same here.

👀 wow Grok going hard

"Nuggets" is trending & it's something to do with basketball so who cares, but it's as good a reason as any to share Jamie Oliver's stupid heartbroken face after he showed kids how they're made, asked who'd still want to eat them, & every single one of the little diamonds eagerly raised their hand.

Kind of on autopilot, started making Mexican rice for later and I'd forgotten how good sweet peppers smell when you start slicing and dicing. Instant hit of summer on a cold January day.

Gene Siskel on Enter The Dragon. "One of the most hateful films In years. Its story is a shameful copy of Dr. No. Its dialog approaches the infantile. Its characters are cruel parodies of human beings. Its subliminal message is morally bankrupt."

It's 7AM so here's a picture of Bolo Yeung in 1988's Bloodsport.

I'm just saying these movies spend an inordinate amount of time acting like anyone in the galaxy would want this particular lightsaber with this particular history.

Maybe the movie's not about what the poster explicitly says it's about. Maybe it's "he was just a man." Or maybe Hollywood's Defence of the Billionaires season is just getting started.

Noted racist Hulk Hogan is not only dead, but got booed off stage at his last ever WWE appearance (well done, LA) where he was trying to sell beer.

If you're minded to indulge Americans telling you what European nationality they are (and I say why not), it might interest you that Mark Kelly is "Irish".

Fuckin Thatcher...

I'm just saying these movies spend an inordinate amount of time acting like anyone in the galaxy would want this particular lightsaber with this particular history.

Local urban legend says (so probably not true but a fun story) the Freiburg Münster's 13th century stonemasons were fired by the Mayor, but told to finish the gargoyles before they left, so this one is pointing towards Freiburg City Hall 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums

Been thinking more about Andor & why it didn't land for me, and I think a big reason is... I quite like television and Tony Gilroy despises it. 27 years ago The Sopranos invented Good TV™. And it was never, not once, ashamed of being a TV show. Andor is. It's "10-hr movie" time.

Imagine advertising your VR glasses (XREAL in this instance) with the 'feature' that you can ignore your daughter when its your weekend.
