I think The Cell should get an honourable mention

Still from The Cell. J-Lo sits on a lower step as Vincent D'Onofrio looms behind her bare chested with a huge purple cape hooked to his skin, spreading out like wings behind him

4. Is Beira's Place anti-rights as highlighted in the recent Amnesty International report?

5. Is J.K. Rowling homophobic?

6. Why was J.K. Rowling in the Epstein files?

The Very Best of Nina Simone. I also really love the artwork

Seeing the chilling assassin from Utopia playing the middle-aged son of Sue Johnston's lead in Ann Droid is causing me such cognitive dissonance

Assassin and torturer from Utopia portrayed by Paul Ready. He is a clean shaven man with a pompadour hair style and a lurid yellow suit

Michael in Ann Droid portrayed by Paul Ready. He is a sad looking man with messy hair, a thick moustache and stubble. He wears a jean jacket

Akira's new favourite song is Brutal Love by Lestat/Sam Reid. I play a song on repeat sometimes as I work and usually Akira gets as far as way as possible but she has been sparko all day listening to Brutal Love. She loves to bite things and has questionable morals so they have a lot in common

Tilda Swinton in The Deep End One of my favourite films about longing/yearning

DVD cover for The Deep End starring Tilda Swinton and Goran Visjnic. Tagline 'How far would you go to protect your family?'

Image is Tilda Swinton's face lit blue, half in shadow and a full length of a shadowy male figure running holding a fire poker.

I do love this outfit Zendaya is wearing for one of The Odyssey premieres but I do also think it looks like yassified Pyramid Head

It really doesn't take much knowledge of the situation to know you're exactly right

The actual tipping point was gays getting marriage so bigots assumed going after gays directly was fruitless and instead decided to go after trans people more aggressively and cause a divide within the LGBTQ community and weaken everyone to later go after gay rights again

I'll likely be blocked so my comment here: A journalist supporting Saudi owned enterprises is very turkeys voting for Christmas whatever semantics you use to separate the event and the owners. I'm really surprised this is Kotaku's position now you're allegedly not in thrall to corporate interests

Reposted by Carolyn Petit

Ash Parrish, Kota... @ada.... 13m

the people who own Evo suck the community tho, that shit is still 100% pure octane gas. That's why I watch Evo, why i still love tuning in

K Kotaku @kotaku.com 2h Ownership has changed and attendance numbers are down, but the spirit of the fighting game *community* is always hype

Does anyone else feel like the outfit of the hooded figure in the Spider-Man Brand New Day trailer is more Rogue coded than Jean Grey? It's possible Rogue absorbed a telepath's powers. Rogue also fits better as a villain in the context of the story in the trailer

Cass just openly advocating for conversion therapy here:

"It may be that if they were prescribed puberty blockers instead, that would give more time for the therapist to work with them and perhaps come to a different solution than a long-term life on medication."

'No, you don't understand, Starmer being terrible in 30 different ways is better, actually!' 🤡

Clown meme where each statement is next to someone putting on clown make-up, hair, and nose:

Starmer was good

People say there was 'just one thing' he did wrong

But I got given 30 different reasons

Being terrible in 30 different ways proves he was good

Origami: - It's cheap (I started by squaring printing paper) - YouTube has loads of videos that are easy to follow - it's good for mindfulness - you now have little gifts to give to friends and family or to decorate with - it's as simple or as complex as you want
