MobLand season 2 releases trailer with Tom Hardy warning family

We’re now just over a month away from the premiere of MobLand season 2 and, in advance of the release, a brand-new trailer has been unveiled. The promo sees Tom Hardy’s Harry Da Souza warning Pierce Brosnan and Dame Helen Mirren’s Conrad and Maeve Harrigan that the crime family is in a death spiral, and saying that “the war” for North London has already begun. The trailer also introduces us to Johnny Flynn’s new character, who makes a particularly explosive entrance, while Conrad is said to have gone “completely bonkers berserk”, as he is seen holding a gun to his own son, Paddy Considine’s Kevin. Throw in a chainsaw, some guns and plenty of splattered blood, and it looks like another thrilling season. You can watch the trailer right here now. Want to see this content?

Leading Industry Group ICOM Releases Statement in Support of Smithsonian

Published by Jenni Sidey

The United States National Committee of the International Council of Museums released a statement Tuesday pledging its “unwavering support” for the Smithsonian Institution, as it faces repeated assaults on its integrity and independence by the Trump administration. In the statement, ICOM-US said that it was speaking out in response to the recent congressional hearings, in which Anthea Hartig, the director of the institution’s National Museum of American History, was grilled over allegations that the institution has failed in its duty to preserve and present the nation’s story. Related Articles While the statement stops short of rebutting the Trump administration’s claims that the Smithsonian is subject to “extreme political activism,” it more generally affirms that museums are “guided by scholarship, professional expertise, ethical practice, and intellectual integrity,” implicitly including the Smithsonian among those guided by such principles. “We stand alongside the American Alliance of Museums in affirming the essential role museums play in American civic life and the importance of safeguarding their independence, integrity, and public trust,” the statement reads. The reference to the AAM is …

Steam AI Game Stats Show One Third of New Releases Use AI

Published by skeptic

Artificial Intelligence is playing an increasingly prominent role in game development on Steam, with roughly 33% of new titles now disclosing AI-generated content in areas like visuals, dialogue and gameplay mechanics. This shift follows Steam’s 2024 policy requiring transparency around AI use in player-facing elements, as highlighted by Bellular News. While this policy has brought clarity, it has also revealed challenges: AI-driven games often underperform in revenue and reviews compared to non-AI titles, suggesting that transparency alone is not enough to ensure success. Developers must navigate the tension between using AI for efficiency and maintaining the creative integrity that players value. Explore how AI is shaping the gaming landscape, from its impact on market trends to the mixed reception among players. You’ll gain insight into why AI-disclosed games face hurdles in achieving visibility and financial success, as well as how genre preferences influence audience acceptance.

Iran’s Mehr Releases Video Of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei For ‘First Time’ – Except It’s Old

Published by Jenni Sidey

Update(2210ET): Iran’s state Mehr has purported to release video of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei for the ‘first time’ since the start of the war, and since he was wounded in a US-Israeli airstrike in the opening days of the attacks of over five months ago. The state-released footage is titled “First Images of the Leader” – and shows the Ayatollah addressing students, after months of speculation over his status, or whether he is even alive. He has not been seen or heard from directly since the war began, amid conflicting reports and accounts. The video has no date or location given. It appears to be in response to recent Israeli media reports alleging his deteriorating health. However, analysts – as well as social media users in Iran – were quick to identify the footage as old material from his past lectures in Qom. This has in turn resulted in accusations of a cover-up, and that Tehran is in damage control concerning his status. For example, one hawkish US-based think tank researcher and pundit, Jason Brodsky, has …

ICE bodycam releases hinge on agency’s “best interests”

Published by Sam Flores

Immigration and Customs Enforcement says all of its field officers will soon wear body cameras, but a policy governing the devices gives the agency broad discretion over whether the public gets to see what they record. ICE plans to equip officers nationwide with body-worn cameras by the end of September, following mounting scrutiny over fatal encounters involving federal immigration officers. But footage from shootings or incidents resulting in death or serious injury will be released promptly only when ICE determines doing so is in the agency’s “best interests,” according to the policy. After a serious incident, a committee composed of senior ICE officials and attorneys will review the footage and recommend whether it should be released. Video could be made public within 72 hours, but the ICE director can delay or block its release if there are “specific and compelling circumstances.” The policy does not define what those circumstances are. The rollout follows several fatal encounters involving immigration officers, including the deaths of two men shot by ICE agents in Texas and Maine last month. …
