Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015) Didn't see the first. No idea what was going on. The world made no sense and the situations were the same set up and pay off five times in a row just in a different colour palette. Quite frankly i fear for the next generation. 1 sub par Alan Tudyk out of 5

“You thought you’d get away with this. I am in your car. I am in your maps" How an abusive male partner took control of a woman's Tesla: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Three days later, Pucci, now 50, followed her in a car and started to yell at her about a man she was dating.

“You thought you’d get away with this. I am in your car. I am in your maps,” he shouted at her, according to the police records.

Over the coming days, Stacey found that the parental control profile, to which she had no access, could almost entirely control the car, including its speed, climate control, lock and curfew hours, determining when the car could be driven.

If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free 
and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sun-

BBC PRESENTER:
Thank you prime minister

BBC PRESENTER:

HITLER [in the studio]:
Vell zis is hysterical woke nonsense as usual from mr Churchill

HITLER:
What we are proposing -

CHURCHILL:

7
HITLER:
Let me finish - what we are proposing eez a simple power-sharing arrangement -

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

Bluesky! How can I get files from 50-60 years ago from the British intelligence agencies? Context: I am pretty sure my dad (who worked for the British Council & married a Pole) was involved in an operation to catch some Polish spies in 1969. There must be a file on him, right? With MI6?

Hummingbirds.
A four panel comic. In panel 1, a rufous hummingbird flies down toward a large hummingbird feeder with as many as 6 holes on top. He thinks "The humans put up a new feeder!" In panel 2, he lands on the feeder and gazes down at it. He thinks "It's huge. Many of us could feed here at once." In panel 3, we see a close up view of the hummingbird, and he's thinking "This could end the ancient rivalries. Usher in an era of peace. Interesting." In panel 4, an Anna's hummingbird hovers over the feeder and says "Hey, can I have some necta-" and the rufous hummingbird says "No."

There were some incredible posts at the height of the NFT bubble

@TaschaLabs

If you make a NFT of a real diamond, and the diamond itself gets destroyed in a fire tomorrow, you still have the same asset.

Because the token still exists and is in limited supply just as before. Nothing has changed.

What NFT is doing to the concept of asset, few understand.
