Just over a month before the 2024 US presidential election, the vice presidential debate marks the first showdown between Kamala Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and Donald Trump’s running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance.

As both campaigns intensify, this could be their only debate before voters go to the polls.

The outcome could significantly sway undecided voters and highlight key differences between the candidates’ programs and their visions for the country’s future.

Vance is expected to focus on the southern border and Walz is likely to focus on abortion access and other reproductive rights.

Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine are more popular than Jesus – at least at the box office Deadpool and Wolverine broke the 2004 box office record The Passion of Christ being the highest grossing R-rated film of all time.

Now the film is officially available as a digital release, in case you’re one of the few film fans who haven’t yet seen the raunchy action in theaters – or want to relive the madness.

The digital premiere comes ahead of the just-announced 4K, Blu-ray and DVD release on October 22nd.

The Daily Beast’s Obsessed includes an exclusive clip of one of the bonus features, an interview with the superheroes who make surprise appearances in the film to talk about returning to their characters – and their wardrobes – all these years after their first appearances. It is part of a set of features called Loose Ends: The Legacy Heroesin which Reynolds, director Shawn Levy and the cast and crew go through some of those cameos and the characters who finally get the ending they deserve. They cover the intense choreographed sequences, updated costumes and the assembly of the legendary team.

Jennifer Garner talks about returning to the character Elektra nearly two decades after the first film… and the need to change the costume to reflect the times gone by.

“It’s a different costume. A lot less skin,” Garner says with a laugh in the clip. “Elektra always showed a lot more midriff, which we don’t need now. That’s not necessary. Elektra had three children.”

She talks about how the costume was adapted to reflect the different ways she moves now as an action star: “I can move and it still looks like Elektra, which I love.” And the big difference is that I don’t wear heels. I said I don’t know if my 55 year old feet can fight in high heels all day. I don’t know if I can do it. So I have a bit of a wedge.”

Wesley Snipes, who revived the character of Blade in Deadpool and WolverineShe also has a sense of humor about the way the costume has changed. “It’s less shiny. “It’s less glittery,” he says. “I don’t have the same drip as the others. When you put it on, you begin to see where your body has changed or where you need to improve or build. Thank God for muscle suits.”

And Channing Tatum, who steals scenes by returning as Gambit in the film, noted how the costume team took direct inspiration from the original comics to perfect his look: “Down to the pattern on the chest plate and headpiece. It is extraordinary what they have achieved. I still can’t believe it.”

New York City Mayor Eric Adams and his lawyers are accusing the government of prematurely leaking grand jury materials related to his federal indictment on corruption charges to the New York Times, CNN and other media outlets, according to a filing Tuesday.

“The prejudice from these leaks was severe. “A cascade of critical articles based on one-sided, misleading government information undermined public support for the mayor long before he was ever charged with a crime and could defend himself in court,” Adams’ lawyers wrote.

His legal team claims that classified information, including subpoenas, FBI searches and seizures related to Adams’ criminal complaints, was found in published articles dating back to 2023.

They cite the Times’ complicated coverage of sealed warrants; a description of the items seized by Brianna Suggs, an Adams 2021 campaign staffer; and knowledge of witness statements against the mayor as grounds for termination.

“The government’s leaks intentionally created a façade of guilt, resulting in intense, negative scrutiny of Mayor Adams and his administration,” the filing says. “And by releasing information to the press, the government violated the mayor’s right to a flawless grand jury process and impaired his ability to receive a fair trial from an impartial jury.”

Adams’ attorney reportedly alerted the government to the revelations on June 7 and August 13, to no avail. He claimed they had received no response to the letters they submitted, adding they had been “completely ignored”.

“The government completely ignored both letters. In a telephone call with the Attorney General’s Office on August 20, 2024, Mayor Adams’ attorney again raised the issue of the grand jury leaks, noting that the government had still not responded to the letters and requests for an investigation. “The government once again summarily dismissed the concerns,” the lawyers wrote.

They later added: “The reality is that the ultimate contours of the grand jury’s indictment, as well as the sources from which the grand jury obtained evidence, were available to the public and prospective jurors long before the indictment itself and long before that.” Mayor Adams had the opportunity to defend himself in court.”

That filing came just a day after his lawyers asked a federal judge to drop “extraordinarily vague” bribery charges against him. In the wake of the allegations, several leaders called on Adams to resign, although he showed no signs of resigning.

Borussia Dortmund is likely to face sanctions after displaying a banner reading “UEFA Mafia” before their Champions League game against Celtic on Tuesday.

The nine individual letters of the message were held up by fans on the “yellow wall” in the Westfalenstadion, along with a second banner that read, “You don’t care about sport – all you care about is money.”

Dortmund fans displayed a third banner promoting the website “Reclaim the Game,” a blog that details fans’ criticism of the new Champions League reform.

As per UEFA protocol, the governing body will wait for match reports before considering any action.

UEFA has already sanctioned clubs for using the word “mafia” as it is seen as a “provocative and offensive message”.

In March 2022, Marseille was fined €20,000 for displaying a “UEFA Mafia” banner during the Europa Conference League play-off match against Qarabag, for which the club later apologized. The banner was believed to convey “provocative messages of a political and offensive nature.”

Dortmund fans have a history of anti-UEFA protests. During the Champions League group stage match against Newcastle United last season, fans threw counterfeit money, gold bars and tennis balls onto the pitch and displayed several banners that appeared to criticize European football’s governing body.

During the Newcastle game, two of the banners contained the same message as against Celtic on Tuesday. Drawings apparently depicting FIFA President Gianni Infantino, PSG President Nasser Al Khelaifi and former Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli were also captured.

Dortmund were fined €7,375 by UEFA for throwing objects onto the pitch, but no action was taken about the banners.

A section of the Reclaim the Game blog states: “The magic of European competitions is being increasingly devalued by UEFA and the European Club Association (ECA). With the reform of the UEFA club competitions next season, this magic is in danger of being completely lost.

“The growing number of games in the competitions will push players and fans to their limits. The significantly increased revenue generated by the reforms also has the potential to destroy domestic competitions and pave the way for an upcoming European Super League.”

The new Champions League format was introduced this season and has expanded the competition from 32 to 36 teams. The group stage has been replaced by a ‘league stage’ and teams will now play eight games instead of six.

The format was introduced by UEFA in the hope that it will lead to more competition from the outset, with bigger games at the start of the tournament, as the top teams compete earlier and are not largely separated until the knockout stages.

Dortmund beat Celtic 7-1 on Tuesday night, with Karim Adeyemi scoring a hat-trick in the first half.

Blockbuster – the iconic and nostalgic rental film franchise – is making a comeback of sorts. The reason for this is a movement called Free Blockbuster, which offers films for free through the community and not through a store.

In Bend, Oregon, there is only one actual Blockbuster store left, where people can walk to a brick-and-mortar store to get their weekend entertainment and snacks — similar to the pilgrimage that millions often made on Fridays in decades past.

The ritual ended for most with the near extinction of Blockbuster stores and other movie rental franchises (Blockbuster Company filed for bankruptcy in 2010) as they were replaced by home streaming.

Brian Morrison, a former Blockbuster employee and later film and television producer, had an inkling that people might still want to watch DVD and VHS tapes. Additionally, there were still many physical copies of films in the world that he wanted to prevent from ending up in landfills.

Microsoft products are always quite expensive. Every time you need to buy a copy of Windows for a clean install, expect to pay about $139 per person. The same applies to Windows apps like Microsoft Word or Outlook. And yet, if you work from home, run a business, or just need productivity software to stay on top of your game, you’ll have to pay a pretty penny more for those licenses, too. Of course you could use open source software, but why would you do that when you could get the originals for a great price?

Valli, 90, is currently on tour with his band The Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
