One of the worst things to happen in movies is the idea that everything has to become a franchise or an extended universe, when it absolutely didn't need it. But this? This is something that absolutely does need it. A new Benoit Blanc mystery every few years would be fantastic.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Netflix have done irreparable damage to their brand by constantly cancelling things, they have effectively trained their own audience never to get invested in any of their shows. It's short term cost-cutting, long-term harm.

I don't think a lot of people have really grasped how recent a development the current transphobia moral panic is, or how it was almost entirely manufactured by the religious right after they lost their battle against marriage equality, and it's jarring to see how things were.

Have the public entirely forgotten that there's extremely good reasons that schools don't out queer kids to their parents, because of the danger that homophobic parents might abuse those kids, disappear them to some fundamentalist torture camp, or just straight up murder them?
Elon Musk says he's moving X and SpaceX headquarters out of California after a law was signed that protects trans and non-binary students from being outed to their parents by the school district.
“This is the final straw,” says Musk. "Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas...I did make it clear to Governor Newsom about a year ago that laws of this nature would force families and companies to leave California to protect their children.”

Dark Souls 2 has an NPC summon called Sellsword Luet, which is my favourite summon in all of FromSoft. He fights with 2 greatshields. Presumably because he sold his sword. DS2's humour is unrivaled.

Jowling Kowling Rowling's downfall here is that she's been previously very keen to bully and harass victims who don't have the resources to fight back or the voice and reach to speak up, and in her hubris has picked a fight with someone in the public eye who isn't backing down.
J.K. Rowling and Elon Musk have both been named in a criminal complaint filed to French authorities over alleged “acts of aggravated cyber harassment” against Algerian boxer and newly crowned Olympic champion Imane Khelif.

So not only do they need copyrighted material for their technology to function, but energy demands are getting so high (think small country), they also need a nuclear fusion breakthrough to sustain it. The whole thing is such a joke.

I'd not be quick to judge folks who might've liked Rowling's tweet, because let's be real here, it was intentionally deceitful and misleading. It was dogwhistle TERFery that's not immediately obvious unless you're trans or know trans people. Also, Mark Hamill is still a legend.💜
