If we thought all Doctor Who was going to build its upcoming finale around was the return of one classic villain from its history in the Rani, “Wish World” told us to think again in its final moments, as it invoked the name of an all-time terror in the history of the Time Lords: the dread Omega, not seen in the show properly in over 40 years. But Omega’s history is, fitting for a key player in the origins of the Time Lords themselves, paradoxically much old and yet also much more recent than tha

Its next one, however, is a little different. We already got our annual big Lord of the Rings set this year with the release of The Shire, but Lego is bringing Lord of the Rings into another of its toy lines with today’s announcement of a buildable book nook recreating Gandalf’s confrontation wi

Ministers in the UK House of Commons have blocked an amendment to a data bill that would require AI companies to disclose their use of copyrighted materials, according to The Guardian . This transparency amendment was stripped out of the text by invoking something called financial privilege, an arcane parliamentary procedure that suggests that any new regulations would require a new budget. The official site of the UK parliament says this procedure "may be used by the Commons as grounds for ove

The UK's House of Lords just voted to add an amendment to a data bill that mandates that tech companies disclose which copyright-protected works were used to train AI models, as reported by The Guardian . The amendment faced government opposition but resoundingly passed with 272 votes to 125. The vote came just a few days after hundreds of artists and organizations joined together to urge the government not to "give our work away at the behest of a handful of powerful overseas tech companies."

During Japan’s Sengoku (Warring States) period, there was one name that instantly struck fear into the hearts of even the most powerful feudal lords: “Oda,” as in the merciless master maneuverer Oda Nobunaga (1534–1582). Interestingly, around the same time, there was a name that elicited the exact opposite reaction, and it was also “Oda” — as in Oda Ujiharu, master of Oda Castle in modern-day Ibaraki Prefecture, whose constant losing streak made him known as the weakest Sengoku samurai warlord.

After many years away in the wake of the Hobbit films’ releases, Lego’s Lord of the Rings line has firmly established itself as one of the brick maker’s annual treats, first delivering an incredible, lush replica of Rivendell in 2023, and then the daunting dark tower of Barad-Dûr last year. In 2025 Lego is taking to heart the lessons at the core of the films and embracing the finer parts of a quiet, peaceful life by visiting the Shire and the opening act of Fellowship of the Ring.

The city of Berkeley, California is being sued by RealPage over its ban on algorithms used to determine apartment rental prices. The lawsuit states that Berkeley’s ordinance passed in March represents a “sweeping and unconstitutional ban on lawful speech,” and a violation of the First Amendment’s prohibition on content-based restrictions. RealPage is a controversial company that has been likened to a cartel by some lawmakers across the United States. It is not hard to see why: RealPage essentia

After a blockbuster March, Lego is once again having a bit of a quiet season coming into April… but a small number of releases doesn’t make them any less major, as almost everything dropping this month is a huge set. Or, well, huge from your perspective, if you happen to be a halfling eager for the next Lord of the Rings release. Yes, there may not be that many sets this month (Star Wars is smartly taking the month off to prepare for its usual extravaganza in May), but most of what is coming is
