@reckless1280 Was screaming to myself just now when you directly referenced LA VITESSE on the Vergecast. At least that’s what it should’ve been called in French; in fact it was called SPEE-DU. Et Jeff Daniels est déjà mort. Thank you for taking me right back to nights spent with my parents cracking up at Dress to Kill. [hops aboard hair dryer-engine scooter] Ciaoooo. ✌️

@jtw yeah upon further inspection (read: a couple posts later in my feed) it’s related to the discrimination suit against him https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2023-04-24/tucker-carlson-is-out-at-fox-news
Tucker Carlson departs Fox News, pushed out by Rupert Murdoch

Tucker Carlson's last program was Friday, Fox News said. His ouster is likely related to a discrimination lawsuit filed by a former producer.

@jtw Seems like it came as a surprise to everyone, which makes me wonder if it was a condition of the Dominion settlement somewhere.

Came across this cool queer sf/fantasy display in my local branch of Forbidden Planet in Glasgow, complete with colour coding as to exactly who is represented in each book.

Clearly somebody in the shop really cares - kudos to them!

@siracusa Sure looks like The Last Starfighter to me. Late, but I wanted to see if I was right at least.
