Hey, I know you'll block this account too, but, still: blocking somebody because they openly disavowed a game that you enjoy, purely because the game is now owned by a country with widely publicised murders on its record, is some weird energy and I wish you well with handling your ethics. ✌️

TRAILER: It ain't 1987, but man it feels like it some days. So of course, the Running Man is back!

The remake stars Glen Powell and is directed by Edgar Wright, the legend who did us good with Shaun of the Dead, Baby Driver, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim and some other stuff. Looks good yeah? #movies

SCANDAL at Downton!

The third and final #DowntonAbbey film takes place in the early 1930s – which makes me think it'd be quite a tribute to Maggie Smith if they finish in 1934, the year of her birth.

Would it be too much for one of them to welcome a baby Margaret into the world? 😂

TRAILER: 'The Martian' author Andy Weir's latest book, Project Hail Mary, is now a movie starring Ryan Gosling!

WHAT TIME IS IT, BEN? SAAAAAYYY ITTTT!

Nissan revealed the new 2026 Leaf EV today. What if... what if we lowered it just a wee bit, so instead of being yet another SUV, it's a hot sedan instead?

Hmm, they don't appear to have fixed the issue where my kids keep beating me

Meta & Oakley will reveal new smart glasses on June 20 - DADBASE It started as a rumour in January, but now it's official: Oakley is getting its own take on Meta's smart glasses.

I accidentally spent a night watching leaked James Bond screen tests, and this one tweak of Henry Cavill is bloody good - DADBASE My fellow Aussie Pentex (a "YouTube penguin who makes video essays") has put together an outstanding cut that really perfects Cavill's otherwise cringe-worth video, opposite the brilliant Famke Jansen...

TIL: In 1986, between the end of Roger Moore's run and Timothy Dalton's debut, Sam Neill tested as James Bond. How am I only learning this now? That would have been so damn cool!

Of course, then we probably would've missed him in Hunt for Red October (1990), and Jurassic Park (1993)...

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 leaked with new in-store marketing cutout.

Infinite Machine launches the Olto e-scooter - DADBASE Move over e-bikes, the Olto just pulled up looking like it’s from the future.

If the Cybertruck and Kaneda’s futuristic motorbike had a baby, it might look something like the @infinitemachine Olto – a foldy, ultra-modern electric ride from New York startup @infinitemachine.bsky.social

If you’re thinking about ditching your smartphone to be more present, especially as a parent, the Light Phone III might seem perfect. Buuut... @captain2phones.bsky.social's review makes me think this is a phone for a very specific type of personality.

TRAILER: #Foundation season 3 is coming on July 11!

This has probably been my favourite show of the past few years, although Andor would obviously give it a very good run for its money. Are you a fan? #tv #streaming #appletv+
