#ICYMI The Boys spent an hour with *the* Katy O'Brian on the lastest episode of Action 4 Everyone to talk about ballroom dancing, her process for the all-timer that is LOVE LIES BLEEDING, working with the President of Movies, Tom Cruise, and more.

Enjoy folks.

Started my run with Smoke last night, time to look back at last season of Kombat League. I mained Nitara, easily one of the most unique characters I’ve played. She’s got a whole button dedicated to flight & air dashes. Had a positive W/L, but feel like I hit a wall competitively. Still rad though.

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

If you plan to travel to cities where ICE is active, or they are active in your city - looking up the number for immigrant rights lawyers and keeping a know your rights card on you can help people.

The NILC has one you can print out foe yourself and foe others.

This card explains that you are exercising your Constitutional rights. You have the right to remain silent and the right to ask to speak to an attorney. Available in Arabic, Chinese – Simplified, Chin...

BURNING PARADISE is one of my favorite discoveries from recent years and I’m very eager to see more of Ringo Lam’s filmography. Just got a copy of CITY ON FIRE so that’s what I’m doing tonight.

My copy of THE CAT still hasn’t arrived, but @monsterpopcorn.com brought his and that’s how we’re celebrating my birthday (well that and pizza and cupcakes). First time watch and very stoked.

Kicking off my birthday (as of midnight) with Steven Kostanski’s DEATHSTALKER, which I’ve been pretty excited for despite not having much affection for the original. But Kostanski applying his practical/special effects wizardry to a dark fantasy action flick starring Daniel Bernhardt sounds great.

When Dan mentioned that two of his own personal Blind Spots happened to be Matt’s favorite Tony Scott movie Man on Fire and my favorite Tony Scott movie Days of Thunder we knew what had to be done—and needless to say we had an absolute blast recording this double feature episode! Hope you all enjoy!

NEW: Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, and tell local cops whether to contact ICE about the person, while also removing apps designed to warn communities about ICE officials.

Absolute must read on the AI bailout-in-progress: apparently it's not enough that lifetimes of human ingenuity and creativity have been stolen and enclosed to create generative AI and balloon billionaire wealth - much more public looting is in store...
This week Open AI walked back a call for the govt to backstop financing for its trillion dollar investments in data centers. This was only the tip of the iceberg; a slow bailout for AI firms is already underway. Read more from @ambakak.bsky.social and I in @wsj.com: www.wsj.com/opinion/you-...

So… a coverup is happening in real time. That’s what this is, right??? Like, we all know what is happening.
My god (sorry I’m late on a bunch of this stuff. But wow!)

According to this NYT report, the head of the FBI and the Attorney General are holding meetings *in the Situation Room* with GOP lawmakers they are trying to pressure to rescind their votes to release the Epstein info. This is madness.

Seated for PREDATOR: BADLANDS in 3D 4DX. I adore both PREY and KILLER OF KILLERS and am very excited to see Dan Trachtenberg & the series get the deserving big-screen treatment again.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.
