Video with subtitles of yesterday’s attempted beheading of a young British man by a Somali migrant in Belfast. It’s a hard watch but Europeans must see it. Those who intervened and smashed a shovel over the attackers’ head are heroes They most likely saved that young man’s life

Insomniac Games' creative director confirms the X-Men don't exist in 'Wolverine', but there will be a group of mutants called Team X “It’s our own unique take on the world, and as such, we are putting it in modern times”

Let me quickly summarize the new God of War Laufey controversy, but without any straw man arguments such as accusing people of "fearing women." >western game studios were politicized thanks to activist employees and activist investors. >some people passed the litmus test, so they understand that politicizing a fictional hobby about fun/escapism is bad. >some failed the litmus test so they write off criticism they do not understand as "hate." >some agree with the agenda so they write off criticism they dislike as "hate." >underneath it all is a leftist ideology that believes attractive female characters = sexualization, objectification and misogyny... and an obsession with "diversity and inclusion." >enter western game developers deliberately designing female fictional characters who are ugly. >people rightly point out that she's ugly. other people get mad and incorrectly assume that means we're calling the actress ugly: we are not. >also some people find it a bit weird that a game called God of War, which has been about Kratos, The God of War, is back-seating him for a new woman. >some speculate that this is the result of the aforementioned politicization, because pattern recognition and the left-wing activist obsession with "inclusion." >the God of War developers are based in California. The end. Hope this helps.

Amazon cancelled the new Stargate show. The rumor is that the show writer, Martin Gero, would not budge on compromising lore or elements within the show for a "wider modern audience" as they did with Rings of Power for LoTR lore. Martin Gero wanted to create a show that maintained continuity in the story and lore of the old shows, including the mythology and tech, while respecting the 17 seasons of history. Amazon instead wanted something new for the "modern audience" that's more accessible, reimagined, with more modern casual sensibilities. Because the showrunners wanted to maintain integrity rather than turn Stargate into another "modern audience slop" like Rings of Power, Amazon leadership canceled it. The franchise heavyweight, like Joseph Mallozzi, was very excited for the fresh stories Gero worked on. Amazon says they are still open to Stargate, just not "this" version... yes they wanted to Rings of Powerify Stargate. We really can't hate these people enough.

David Jaffe, Creator of God of War, reacts to the reveal of GOW: Laufey. "That looks like shit...reminds me of Forspoken" "So uninsipired, so dull." "It's dead. That game is not going to do well." David is gonna get a lot of crap for this, so props for him calling it. But he's gonna get a call. And a lot of pressure from his "just consume the female protagonist" audience and circle of friends. I'm really curious what he says about it again in a couple of days.

It would be an opportunity to kill this suggestion dead if nothing else.

This an awful, shocking case. Henry’s loved ones have gone through the trauma of a long trial and endured Henry's killer making up appalling claims about their son who was thoughtful, kind and deeply loved. It is right that the IOPC is investigating the police’s response to his senseless murder. And we must end the cycle of tragedy by tackling the horror of knife crime. Henry’s family, friends, his university and the city of Southampton will continue to feel his loss, and our thoughts will always be with them.

Listen to every word from Henry Nowak’s father. Its worse than we predicted. He told police he was stabbed 4X and he couldn’t breathe 9X. They cuffed Henry and let him die. Police never cuffed Vickrum even after arrest. Footage must be worse than imagined. Must be released!
