‘One Piece’ Review: Netflix Finally Gets an Anime Adaptation Right
Everybody wants to be a pirate. These brave, bold and bonkers rogues roam the many seas in search of a near-mythical treasure known as the One Piece, the life’s work of Gol D. Roger, the former King of the Pirates. Nobody is more enthusiastic about the hunt than Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy), a giddy straw-hatted kid who’s convinced he’s got the stuff to become the greatest pirate of all time. All he needs is a crew. And a ship. And to not fall into the water because he can’t swim. Spare a thought for the poor American studios that…

According to CNN’s Oliver Darcy, the companies — which include among their ranks The New York Times, Disney, CNN and Reuters — have added code to their websites to prevent them from being scanned by GPTbot, ChatGPT’s webcrawler. Darcy also reports that outlets such as Bloomberg, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, Axios, Insider, ABC News, ESPN, and Gothamist, and…

Rachel Maddow Worries Trump Will Be ‘Probably President for Life’ if He Wins in 2024 (Video)
In response to a New York Times report Monday about Donald Trump’s legal strategy, Rachel Maddow laid out for MSNBC viewers the stakes of the 2024 election, as she sees them.

Jesse Watters Thirsts Over Trump’s Mugshot: ‘He Looks Good and He Looks Hard’ (Video)
Since he was arraigned in Georgia on Thursday, conservatives have been falling all over each other to fawn over Donald Trump’s historic mug shot. But none have fallen quite as hard as Fox News’ Jesse Watters, judging from the comments he made Friday about the photo.

Afterward, the mugshot became a meme, while Trump himself was widely mocked for describing himself as weighing 215 pounds and having…

Trump’s Glare Likened to Iconic Stanley Kubrick Villains at the ‘Peak of Their Derangement’
As Donald Trump’s mug shot from his arrest in Fulton County, Georgia, took off online Thursday night, spawning memes of every shape, stripe and color, one compilation stood out among the rest. And while the rousing meme sent Trump up in appropriate fashion — and certainly wasn’t alone in that regard — it served a dual function, proving that while the legendary director Stanley Kubrick is no longer with us (he died in 1999), his legacy has stood the test of time. In the meme, Trump as jail bird joins a photo montage of villains from three of Kubrick’s Warner…
