“How much is a little girl worth?” Gabbard asks in a video she posted on Twitter on Sunday. “That’s a question we should never have to ask because the answer, it should be threaded through our society, it should be a fact we take for granted that we would never leave her stranded. Or worse, when she cries out, turn back, just to protect those who attack her.” In the clip that has garnered over 40,000 views, Gabbard assures that gymnasts Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney, Maggie Nichols and Aly Raisman as well as others are being listened to—adding that their testimony before the U....

Coercive control is an insidious form of domestic abuse that sees the abuser apply humiliation and intimidation tactics on their victim to instill fear. Abusers will often take steps to make their victim increasingly isolated and exploited with any independence they once had, financially or otherwise, stripped away. But while coercive control has been made illegal in countries like the U.K., it is not considered a crime in itself in the U....

The long-running series was canceled by Paramount Network much to the relief of activists who had long campaigned for the show to end due to its glorification of police work and its portrayal of Black Americans and the criminal justice system. The Black Lives Matter movement of 2020 saw the entertainment industry reckon with systemic racism; the use of blackface in TV shows was particularly scrutinized. As part of this tide of change that strove to make the entertainment industry and the media we consume more equal, Cops was ostensibly a casualty, a victim of so-called cancel culture....

Unlike Stardew Valley and other games in the genre, all 22 of Coral Island’s current romanceable characters can be romanced no matter what the player’s chosen gender is. As such, all players will have access to the full list of bachelors and bachelorettes. And, as usual in life simulation titles like Coral Island, players will find that each NPC has a different personality, including the things they like, dislike and do....

“TLC will not be producing additional seasons of Counting On,” the network announced in a statement released Tuesday. “TLC feels it is important to give the Duggar family the opportunity to address their situation privately.” Josh Duggar’s trial was originally scheduled for July 6. It is now scheduled for November 30. He doesn’t appear in Counting On. His wife, Anna Duggar, and their six children did appear in the show, according to Variety....

LeBron James played down that back-and-forth during his media unavailability but later took to Twitter to troll the said fan. LA Lakers players in splits after LeBron James’ tweet LeBron James has always been stern with personalities who try to get into the head of the players so this was not at all surprising. But the tweet really had LeBron’s LA Lakers teammates in splits who couldn’t control themselves....

This is evident in the show’s finale, which gave viewers a new take on the original’s fifth episode “Ballad of Fallen Angels.” Warning: this article contains spoilers for Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop finale In the anime, the “Ballad of Fallen Angels” sees Spike Spiegel face off against his arch-nemesis Vicious in order to save Faye Valentine, after the latter kidnapped her to lure Spike out of hiding. The live-action series takes this idea and twists it....

Crazy Taxi will be completely revamped with 720p visuals, trophies/achievements and leaderboards. “Arcade Mode” (where you started with a minute and gained time extensions) and “Original Mode” (where you had different time increments to gain high scores) will be available for players to enjoy. Crazy Taxi definitely saw a lot of time in my Dreamcast. It was simple, fun and easy to get into. You might even infer that Crazy Taxi partially influenced the popular arcade-racing game series, Burnout, where the ludicrous driving was the name of the game....

Here, there is a memorial to Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), who died for the second time in Crisis on Infinite Earths—this time for good. In Part 4, he fought with the Anti-Monitor (LaMonica Garrett). In this battle, Oliver, who has become the spirit of vengeance known as Spectre, “lit the spark” that allowed the Paragons to “fan the flame,” using their combined mental energy to redirect the light coming out of the Anti-Monitor’s eyes into the sky, bringing back the worlds that had been destroyed....

Today the first full Crysis 3 gameplay trailer is out, and as always, Crytek continues to demonstrate their masterful handling of graphics and visuals. EA has got a strong one-two first-person shooter punch with DICE and their Frostbite 2 and now Crytek with their latest CryENGINE. Players preferring the open, lush daytime jungle aesthetic and enemy human combatants of the first Crysis over that of the Urban alien-focused sequel, then this trailer may be another step away from the original....

The intense solar flare was spewed out by a newly emerging sunspot identified as AR3182, with NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) recording the eruption on Friday shortly before 1 a.m. Universal Coordinated Time, or 8 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on Thursday. Solar flares are giant explosions that occur in a localized region of the sun’s atmosphere when energy in “twisted” magnetic fields is released. These events, which tend to arise near sunspots— darker, planet-sized regions on the solar surface—send out into space electromagnetic radiation, such as X-rays, visible light and ultraviolet light, as well as high-speed particles....

Deputy White House Press Secretary Andrew Bates has shared multiple Dark Brandon memes to his Twitter account since Sunday. Dark Brandon is a pro-President Joe Biden rebuke of two memes popular among supporters of former President Donald Trump—“Let’s Go Brandon,” which has become conservative shorthand for “f**k Joe Biden,” and the authoritarian pro-Trump “Dark MAGA” meme. Commentators were quick to point out that cartoon images showing Biden with glowing eyes, which have been used in multiple Dark Brandon memes, appear to have been first taken from an image that was created by a pro-China propagandist and posted to the Chinese social media site Weibo in November 2020....

DayZ remains one of the biggest success stories of the past few years and yet the game is still arguably in an ‘unfinished’ state. Both Hall and Bohemia have taken steps since then to ensure that the DayZ team is still in good hands. Hall had previously claimed he would be gone from Bohemia by the end of 2014, and it appears that transition is now in full effect. Hall announced on Twitter this week that he is now looking for programmers, artists and other developers for RocketWerkz, with all positions initially based out of New Zealand....

Dead by Daylight’s first batch of Silent Hill themed DLC (licensed by Konami) was released in June 2020. This premium chapter introduced Midwich Elementary School as a claustrophobic location for online matches and Silent Hill 3’s Cheryl Mason as a playable survivor. However, the biggest draw was undoubtedly that the franchise’s mascot, Pyramid Head, joined the killer roster, where he now sits alongside legendary horror villains like Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers and Leatherface....

While this particular clip doesn’t contain the self-contained mini-narrative of the first trailer, it does bring back a few of the same techniques. It has the same juxtaposing themes of happy families and friends versus gory zombie imagery, and also features a melancholy score and tons of slow motion. Fans may have been hoping for a lengthy look at what the gameplay of Dead Island will look and feel like, but that isn’t exactly what we’ve got....

Real Madrid’s obsession with winning the 10th Champions League football tournament of their history has reached such levels that for several years they have had their own noun to describe the title. The ‘Decima’ has become the be-all and the end-all of Real Madrid’s season with an importance way above the final of the Copa del Rey final against city rivals, Atletico Madrid and the Spanish Primera Liga where they trail FC Barcelona by 13 points, reports Xinhua....

The case remains unsolved more than five years after the bodies of Abby Williams and Libby German were found in a wooded area near a hiking trail in Delphi in 2017.
