With Superman in the books, the time has finally come to see how DC Studios’ rebooted universe will continue with the second season of James Gunn’s John Cena-led TV series, Peacemaker. Even before the show’s release, Peacemaker existed in a unique transitional phase between the old and new DC Universes, leading fans to wonder which elements would carry over and which would be left behind. The answer to that, as gleaned from trailers and the occasional Gunn interview about its premiere being not

Trump Mobile is promoting its smartphone with terribly edited photos of other brands' products

Since it was announced in June, Trump Mobile has committed to an increasingly-surreal smoke-and-mirrors approach to its promised T1 smartphone. Despite the initial claims that the phone would be made in the United States, it seemed highly unlikely from the start that it was accurate. The "Made in USA" claims were quietly removed from the Trump Mobile website at a later date.

Its syntax isn’t quite as bad as Regex, but it has the same sort of “what on earth?” vibes. At the same time, <path> elements are also incredibly useful. They’re the only way to create curved shapes in SVG, beyond full ellipses. And once you get the hang of it, they’re actually quite a lot of fun to use!
