Patty Jenkins and Ava DuVernay to be immortalized as Funko Pops, the greatest honor a person can get
Funko’s Pop series of divisive vinyl figurines is flying through all of pop culture, to the point where Scuba Steve from Big Daddy, each individual member of Duran Duran, and some awful thing called Baby Yoda are all getting transformed into big-headed little dolls in the near-future, but now the Funko people has declared that prominent female filmmakers deserve to become Funko Pops just as...

His Dark Materials lets Mrs. Coulter shine in one of its strongest episodes yet (newbies)
And like clockwork, His Dark Materials improves when Mrs. Coulter reappears. This episode was a real high water mark for the character, because so many of the actions she’s taken suddenly have an additional degree of nuance, from her bizarre relationship with her daemon to her stunted efforts to connect with Lyra.
It’s...
Name of the Club Where Virginia Giuffre and Prince Andrew Were Allegedly Together Seems a Bit Heavy Handed
Prince Andrew’s connection to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein soldiers on, even as the royal family would like it to go away . This time, attorneys and media are zeroing in on the (almost unbelievably named) nightclub Tramp.
Tramp is where Virginia Giuffre says she met Andrew at the behest of Epstein and his friend Ghislaine Maxwell. Buckingham Palace denied the allegations as did Andrew...
The Light Car Company Rocket Is A Dream Unfulfilled
What more do you need from a car than a few hundred kilos of frame, engine, suspension, wheels, tires, and controls? This 838-pound machine is the Light Car Company Rocket, designed by a pre-McLaren F1 Gordon Murray to be the purest driving experience in the world. It’s reminiscent of a Formula Vee, but has power from a 1000cc motorcycle engine.
Yeah, that sounds pure as the driven snow, or a...

I've had a rough go recently
My grandmother mailed me a tree and Christmas stuff. It’s the most Charlie Brown thing that I could get and I don’t think she’ll ever know how much I appreciate it.

The Future Of Motorcycles Is Powered Bicycles
Motorcycles are great. Sometimes, when the weather is beautiful, the road is winding, and the traffic is non-existent, I think bikes might even be better than cars. But motorcycles are also expensive, dangerous, too powerful, not all that great for the environment, and occasionally incredibly out of touch with buyers. The motorcycle industry is going through a phase of change right now and...

Nick Cannon, Eminem and Suge Knight Walk Into a Bar...
I mean, this has to be a joke, right?
Apparently not, as Marshall “Eminem” Mathers sounded mighty angry in a guest verse on Fat Joe and Dre’s recent release, Family Ties, which isn’t a reliable barometer because Eminem always sounds angry. I digress. Anyway, as XXL mag reports, the rapper who originally referred to himself “Slim Shady” decided to shade Cannon during his feature on the album...
Scammers Are Impersonating Popular Twitch Streamers
Anybody can make an account on Twitch. It’s a quick, simple process that takes only a few minutes. You (a super villain, in this hypothetical scenario) might be wondering what’s to stop somebody from naming an account after a popular streamer and, say, scamming a bunch of people.
