Mamoru Oshii is unequivocally one of the most important and influential creators in all of anime. His work has transcended borders, even influencing some of the most prestigious Hollywood films, such as The Matrix, and earning the admiration of auteurs like Guillermo del Toro. He is a definitive icon, but back in 1985, his future was in turmoil. After releasing his most ambitious film, Angel’s Egg, he struggled to find work for three years. This bleak yet visually transcendent work redefined what visual storytelling can be, yet 40 years on, it still perplexes viewers. Oshii has since reflected on the…

Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman filed three lawsuits Wednesday against companies operating sweepstakes casinos and prediction markets, accusing them of offering gambling products to Kentuckians while skirting state licensing, taxes and consumer protections. The move thrusts the home of the Kentucky Derby — and a state whose gambling laws have long been shaped by the racing industry — into the national fight over who regulates prediction markets, putting the Trump administration at odds with a Republican-leaning state. It also answers a lawsuit filed last week by a coalition of prediction market companies challenging Kentucky’s new 14.25% tax on their transaction…

The Nationals announced Wednesday that they’ve requested unconditional release waivers on righty Julian Fernández, whom they’d designated for assignment last week. A release was always the likely outcome, given that Fernández was placed on the minor league injured list last month and remained there at the time of his DFA. Injured players cannot be passed through outright waivers, meaning the Nationals’ only alternative was to try to find a trade partner for an injured 30-year-old with minimal MLB track record. That didn’t pan out. Fernández has pitched in parts of three big league seasons — 2026 included. He has just…

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be preparing for a major family milestone, as new reports claim the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are considering bringing Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to the United Kingdom for the first time in four years. According to reports, Harry is expected to travel to Birmingham next month for events marking the one-year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games, and the visit could include Meghan and the couple’s two children. If the trip goes ahead, it would mark Archie and Lilibet’s first visit to Britain since Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June…

With the Y2K chic always back in fashion, and Hannah Montana stardom still idolised, now is the perfect time for a reboot of Josie and the Pussycats. Rachel Leigh Cook, titular character Josie, addressed the potential of a return for this camp cult-classic in an interview with People, but didn’t hold out much hope. However, it is now seen that Sony Pictures has taken on the glitz and glamour girl group for another day in the sun. As broken by The Insneider, Wicked producer Marc Platt plans to stand behind this project just as he did the first, encouraging a…

“I mean, everything we’ve done has been DIY. And I think that’s very Leeds,” says guitarist Vincent Weight of Static Dress. I’m sitting in Tompkins Square Park on a bench with Weight and his jetlagged band members, flanked on either side. We’re having a quintessentially downtown New York afternoon, watching pigeons and eyeing the characters wandering through the park’s eclectic center — nonetheless, we’re talking about England. Vocalist Olli Appleyard chimes in, “You wouldn’t really hear [Leeds], to be honest, but it’s more how we conduct ourselves. It’s more about being in it on your own abilities, rather than relying…

El presidente de EEUU, Donald Trump, ha hablado del principio de acuerdo alcanzado con Irán el pasado domingo y que debería ser ratificado este viernes. “Lo único que yo no quería ver era una catástrofe económica”, ha asegurado Trump ante la prensa tras la cumbre del G7 en Evian (Francia): “Si se hubiera prolongado la situación, eso podría haber ocurrido; pero lo que sí sé es que, cada vez que hablábamos de la posibilidad de alcanzar la paz, la bolsa se disparaba como un cohete. Nunca bajaba”. “Si no hubiéramos cerrado este trato”, ha reconocido Trump, “podríamos haber lanzado más…

Two teenage men have been charged in connection with the death of college basketball player Andre Bell, who was fatally shot in January. The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department announced in a press release on Monday, June 15, that Brayden Carter and Damarion Coleman had been arrested in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, on multiple criminal charges, including first-degree murder. Carter, 19, was arrested by TITANS Unit detectives during a “vehicle jam” on Melodic Way in Murfreesboro. Detectives recovered a pistol in the car at the time of his arrest, per the release. Meanwhile, Coleman, 18, was arrested at his home in Murfreesboro by…

Hamilton running back Larry Rountree III made our Week 2 sleeper plays look genius, as he gave CFL Weekly Fantasy users a solid 13.8 Fantasy Points.
