Famous dud, “Brian Cox’s Manhunter.”

“The universe surrounding the
adaptations of Hannibal Lecter books is both rewarding and soul-crushing. There are some real duds, such as Brian Cox's Manhunter, the 1986 adaptation of the 1981 novel Red Dragon. But there are…”

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

Also, let's be real here, none of these portable PCs have ever been successful beyond a small niche, and that includes the Steam Deck. They all think they're gonna be the next Switch, but don't understand portable gaming

he should have been thrown out of office for this alone

I am never running for office but if I was I would walk into New York City and go, I love this town but I hate the fucking Yankees and I guarantee you people would respect me more for that than pretending I'm not a die hard Red Sox fan

My Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X review.

The top phrases running through my mind while testing it:

"Someone's getting fired for greenlighting this launch"

"This is not an Xbox"

"If this is the future of Xbox, Xbox is screwed."

Went with the middle.

His artwork absolutely legitimized these stories and made them felt like extensions of the Original Trilogy.

Drew Struzan was probably best known for his movie posters, but we will always cherish his many, many contributions to our bookshelves - a master, and an inspiration. ✨

Even before that, Dem leadership is gonna need to grapple with this: the playing field has changed, and unless you do too you are gonna get clobbered. Look at what happened in 2006 because there's a high chance of it repeating

In other words, protein-supplement jocks have been giving themselves significant lead poisoning for years, which explains so _very_ much about our world.

paris martineau @paris.nyc · 1d

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.

...but if you'd like to lay your peepers on a trippy, horror television series starring Robert Englund that Wes Craven DID directly create and curate, I suggest checking out NIGHTMARE CAFE. It's about a diner not beholden to the rules of space or time that draws in the unusual, strange, and dead.

A promo ad for 1992's NIGHTMARE CAFE, featuring series leads Jack Coleman and Lindsay Frost in vintage diner server apparel looking on as Rober Englund looks over a menu.

There's definitely something to be said that pro-Israel types overplayed their hand and have now made pro-Palestine (or at least, critical of Israel) a default position in the party.
