An absolutely baffling selection of PS2 titles on display at the National Museum of Denmark. Truly the games that defined a generation.

Eyeballing Jack Reacher right now. Big guy, obviously, but I don't think he sees me coming. As a henchman, this is the sort of moment that makes or breaks your career. I think I should go for it.

maybe i'm naive but maybe it would actually be Good if you can clearly establish to investors "we enforce the law and ensure people are treated fairly" because it, you know, means they in turn can trust they'll be treated fairly? if some bad actors are robbing you blind it's not good for the rest!

I think this will be one of the defining images of the Premier League's void years: a proudly working class fanbase celebrating that the ruling family of an oppressive regime had hired a barrister on £10,000-an-hour to try and prevent them suffering consequences for their cheating. Embarrassing.
A bunch of mugs celebrating their perceived impunity

It’d be cool, when reporting on a blind visitor suing over lack of access to the Bayeaux Tapestry, the supposed journalist could make it clear that this isn’t at all a ridiculous request. In fact, it’s completely in line with Equality Act 2010. Museums have provided audio forever.

We've had the ability to watch, say, Counterstrike marathons, Street Fighter tournaments, or chess matches between computers since the 90s. Spectacles which, by their very definition, would be at a "higher standard" than human play. And nobody wants it. It's entirely meaningless. It has no appeal.

Every time a discourse kicks off over whether AI music, literature or art will be "as good as" the real thing, I'm always amazed more people don't cite that **there already are** creative pursuits where human-free spectacles have been available for decades, and nobody has ever wanted to watch them.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Since WWE's trying to exploit PAC's death, it's time to talk about this: Remember how PAC suddenly had visa issues when AEW started? That's because, when the AEW trademarks were filed, WWE called USCIS to claim he walked out on his visa. After leaving him alone for a year and giving him his release.

The formatting of this Beckett quote does still represent resilience and determination, just of a very different sort.
A neon light art piece of Samuel Beckett's famous quote "I can't go on. I'll go on" but spaced - it would seem inadvertently- so that it reads "I can't goon. I'll goon".

Look, I get that people think this is funny, but this is an example of really irresponsible pet ownership. Jamiroquais are supposed to have a much larger enclosure- preferably with a few scattered pieces of furniture- to drift around in. This jamiroquai is NOT getting adequate enrichment

Of all the awful uses of generative ai this is one of the most quietly disgusting. These aren't tributes. They are snuff sympathy cards done by dopamine addicts groping themselves over the clout they can squeeze out of a tragedy. I'm furious when I see these. Can't imagine how their peers feel.

My favourite out-of-ring PAC memory was an ep of UpUpDownDown where they were playing Madden NFL - PAC walks past in the background, clearly half-cut, and goes "WHY DOON'T YEH PLEH A REAL SPORT?" Imagine being such a freak athlete AND ultra-charismatic to boot. Such a loss.

One of the first things I started watching when I got back into wrestling was early NXT, with Adrian Neville making that show matter every week. He'd been incredible for years already, and he only got better. Wrestling without Pac has a hole at its centre that I can't fully comprehend.

I would’ve accepted it happily if Sir Keir’s boys had saved the world, and I feel the same about Burnham’s very similar, overlapping bunch of lads. Like, I will not pretend I’ll ever like them, but I am ready for them to save us any time they want. In your own time, folks
One of the real problems with "The Left" from the centre to the fringe is the fixation that it is more important that | save the world than the world gets saved

The reason why "Janel Grant feels forgiveness for Vince McMahon" was such an attractive headline is because for many fans they view Grant's sole usefulness as someone who can give them permission to like Vince again. That quote was catnip for them.
