Brentford travel to Leicester on Friday as they aim to do the league double over the Foxes for the first time since 1953. The Bees come into this English Premier League clash off the back of a battling 1-0 London derby win away at West Ham last weekend. That result has given Thomas Frank's men a 4-point buffer in 11th spot over 12th-placed capital rivals Tottenham.

Game Developers Fear Anti-Trans Measures Could Hit Their Industry Next

Ashley Poprik has never been the model for a video game character. As a writer on projects like Spider-Man 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, they work on games, not as characters within them. In 2023, however, a cabal of angry gamers was convinced otherwise. They were furious over how Spider-Man 2’s Mary Jane looked; more specifically, they complained, she simply wasn’t hot enough.

Revolutionary Girl Utena Is as Lynchian as Shojo Anime Has Ever Been

Over the years, critics and everyday people have come to identify media as “Lynchian,” in reverence for how video games, movies, and TV shows evoke the dream-like quality of the late auteur David Lynch.
