Sweetpea’s complex arc in Industry is one of the best of season 4

Published by Daniella Wilson

*Warning: This article contains spoilers for Industry season 4 episode 5, Eyes Without a Face.* As soon as Sweetpea Golightly came onto our screens in Industry season 3 as a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed graduate, it marked one of those moments when viewers just knew she’d be around for a long time. Coming into the office early ahead of her team at Pierpoint to film social media videos is one especially brazen move, but she never let her 50,000 online followers go to her head and remained committed to her full-time job, thinking on her feet, moving at a few steps ahead of others and not letting other people’s demeaning comments get her down. At least, not too much. “Respectfully, you make it hard to give a f**k,” was one particularly cutting – but excellent – line she delivered to Rishi (Sagar Radia) in the season 3 finale. All season long, she’d been underestimated by those around her and made to endure the diatribe that came from Rishi’s mouth in regards to her side-hustle on Siren, …

The Moment Tucker Carlson Entered His Joker Arc

The Moment Tucker Carlson Entered His Joker Arc

Published by Jenni Sidey

Part of the appeal of the book was, for folks who only know Tucker Carlson post-2017, introducing them to this guy who you probably would’ve liked a lot if you had read him back in the Weekly Standard days, or knew he was the person who made Rachel Maddow’s television career. I liked presenting a fuller picture of him that is not a caricature. Tucker and Kristol are sort of like the tale of two conservatives. Yeah. I think that’s right. I mean, Kristol’s not a conservative anymore. He’s a Biden voter. Yeah, and there’s something about that.… I don’t necessarily think that’s a positive, to change your whole worldview that dramatically just because of Donald Trump. The Steve Hayes, Jonah Goldberg project to me is pretty interesting because they’re still conservative, but they’re not Trumpy, and maybe there’s no such thing anymore as being a conservative without Trump. And maybe the thing they’re trying to do is completely impossible and kind of a fiction. But I think it’s noteworthy that they haven’t abandoned all …

The long-running program is centered on the lives of the Horton family and residents of Salem, a fictional suburban town in the Midwest. Harry, 60, has appeared on Days of Our Lives since 2021 as Paulina Price, a wealthy real estate mogul who becomes the mayor of Salem. Harry teased exciting plot lines to come — her character has a new grandchild on the way but is also navigating familial difficulties — though she couldn’t share much more. “All I can say is hide the kitchen utensils!” she told BET Current about what’s in store, describing her character as “strong, forthright, honest, and playful.” However, the family-oriented plot line doesn’t mean that Price’s life is drama-free.

A beginner’s guide to Arc Raiders: what it is and how you start playing | Games

Published by Sam Flores

Released last October Arc Raiders has swiftly become one of the most successful online shooters in the world, shifting 12m copies in barely three months and attracting as many players as established mega hits such as Counter-Strike 2 and Apex Legends. So what is it about this sci-fi blaster that’s captured so many people – and how can you get involved? So what is Arc Raiders? Created by Swedish developer Embark Studios, Arc Raiders is an extraction shooter: an online multiplayer game that drops you into a world with other people to search for valuable weapons and items before attempting to escape with all your spoils. You can play alone or with up to two friends in a squad. Most extraction shooters feature two types of gameplay: Player vs Environment (PvE), which means exploring the world and fighting computer controlled enemies, and Player vs Player (PvP), which means fighting any other players you come across on your travels and then stealing their stuff. In Arc Raiders, you don’t have to fight everyone you meet: in …

Man Steals Sword from Parisian Statute of Joan of Arc, Motive Unknown

Man Steals Sword from Parisian Statute of Joan of Arc, Motive Unknown

Published by Jenni Sidey

A statue of Joan of Arc in Paris’s 8th arrondissement is missing a sword after a man broke it off and swiped it for reasons not yet known. As reported by Le Parisien, the incident occurred on Monday morning, when the man approached the monument—with Joan of Arc dramatically riding a horse in mid-gallop—and committed a crime captured by a security camera. Karen Taïeb, the deputy mayor of Paris in charge of heritage, said of the CCTV footage: “We see the man violently shaking the horse, before climbing the statue and breaking the sword with a sharp blow, using his bare hands.” The sword broke into “a few pieces” and was recovered when the man was apprehended by police shortly after on a street nearby. Authorities have not described any known motive behind the act. Taïeb said an assessment of the sword would be carried out to see if it can be repaired; if not, it will be reproduced and returned to its heroic pose. “In any case, Joan of Arc will get her sword back,” …

Arc Raiders review – pure multiplayer pleasure | Games

Arc Raiders review – pure multiplayer pleasure | Games

Published by Sam Flores

Arc Raiders is an extraction shooter from Embark Studios – so, a game where you deploy into a map full of other players and do as much shooting and looting as you can before making an escape. This is my first real go at the genre, and it’s excellent. It has smooth, only occasionally cumbersome combat, sound design that scratches the brain just right and robotic enemies that genuinely terrify. And it satisfies my constant need to sift through my inventory and rifle through every drawer. But I have to keep my head on a swivel: Arc Raider’s player v player element means I can get jumped for my precious cargo by a malicious rival at any moment. And also, the knowledge that this game was made with the help of generative AI voice acting makes me slightly ashamed of how much I enjoy it. I play every game sheepishly looking over my shoulder (and my character’s) in case someone in-game takes my sought-after blueprint, or someone in real life kicks down my door to …
