These pictures of Link and Zelda look good, but the most important thing is that they spend at least five hours in the movie getting infinite rupees thanks to the frozen meat glitch.

This bit of text on critical acclaim for English Teacher is missing some important context, which is that Season 1 was, indeed a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, while Season 2 was a 100% on RT. But Season 1 had 44 reviews, while Season 2 had... Eight.

Local Barnes & Noble used to have an entire wall for graphic novels. They closed for three months, reopened today and have… One small bookcase.

While we're discussing how great Michael Shannon is, a reminder of the funniest thing he's ever done: lying about having flipper hands in Batman v Superman. www.vulture.com/2015/08/mich...
![What happens when perennial bad-guy Michael Shannon is in need of some rescue? Shannon got himself into a tight spot on the set of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. “I was in my costume, and I couldn’t use my fingers because in the sequel I have flippers instead of hands,” Shannon told Vulture at a screening for 99 Homes hosted by Peggy Siegal. “So I had these wax flippers on my fingers, and I couldn’t open the door, and I could hear Zack [Snyder, the director] being like, ‘Where’s Shannon? Where the fuck is he?’ and the whole crew was standing around. I was like, knocking on the door with my flippers, ‘Let me out of here!’” Fortunately, Shannon had his personal superhero in the “craft-service guy, who doesn’t have the best craft service,” Shannon said. “He was actually paying attention to what was going on. He came over and he opened the door for me. Otherwise I would have gotten fired.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:opm7kjzippurg433jh7rt4ax/bafkreif4njcainzstyyvstbckra4rxazuxbpd425sq3dk6ewgbisbpbzla@jpeg)

Seeing folks calling this out as the AI bubble bursting, and I hate to burst YOUR bubble, but SoftBank sold their stake in Nvidia so they can invest the money in OpenAI and Ampere (another AI company). It's more shuffling around of the same funds that's been going on the past few months.
![″[SoftBank] made a point of saying that it wasn’t any view on NVIDIA... At the end of the day, they are using the money to invest in other AI related companies,” he said.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:opm7kjzippurg433jh7rt4ax/bafkreicfmujfa3u4pwigupm3xtahpwthq7hou7e7m7ofm3hty7bghrfz6a@jpeg)

If this really is a faithful adaptation, Glen Powell’s character better use as many hideous racial slurs as he does in the book.

Okay, sucked it up and wrote a script to tell your reps to demand Schumer resign as minority leader, instead of just faxing him "retire, bitch" every hour on the hour.
There's also a variation if your rep does indeed happen to be Chuck Schumer. Scripts in alt text!

Not related to the Garfield thing, but if you're on the fence about Death by Lightning, it's in the small but solid genre of TV known as "Nick Offerman drunk while wearing ill-fitting hats"
