December 18, 2024 0

 Arnold Schwarzenegger told us that he'd be back, but he didn't mention that it would be as Santa.



The action star was seen sporting a white beard and festive attire while filming an upcoming holiday movie, The Man with the Bag, in New York City.

"Santa Claus is coming to town!" the Terminator actor captioned a photo of himself playing Kris Kringle. "It is fantastic to be shooting The Man with the Bag with @alanritchson. Our director @adamshankman is one of the funniest directors I've worked with, New York City is an amazing host, working with @amazonmgmstudios is a joy, and I can't wait to share all of this Christmas cheer with each and every one of you."

Ritchson, who's perhaps best known to audiences for his portrayal of Jack Reacher in Prime Video series Reacher, costars in the upcoming family-friendly adventure. Director Adam Shankman has been the man behind the lens in movies such as Hairspray, The Wedding Planner, and A Walk to Remember.

Trump Warns Top Republican Critic Could Be 'In A Lot Of Trouble

December 18, 2024 0

 Donald Trump warned Wednesday that an ex-congresswoman who probed his role in the 2021 Capitol riot "could be in a lot of trouble," after Republican lawmakers called for her to be criminally investigated.



The Republican president-elect, who is due to return to the White House on January 20, has vowed to get revenge on political adversaries he baselessly accuses of weaponizing the US justice system against him.

Trump posted the taunt against former Wyoming representative Liz Cheney on his Truth Social platform after a congressional panel on Tuesday accused her of witness tampering when she helped lead the probe into the January 6, 2021 riot.

"Liz Cheney could be in a lot of trouble based on the evidence obtained by the subcommittee, which states that 'numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, and these violations should be investigated by the FBI,'" Trump said in the post at 3:11 am.

The Republican-led panel, in its 128-page report, accuses Cheney of colluding with Cassidy Hutchinson, a top staffer in Trump's 2017-21 White House.

Hutchinson was the star witness of the select committee that investigated Trump, and on which Cheney served as vice-chair.

It was set up after a mob whipped up by Trump's false claims of a stolen election, and directed to march on Congress by the defeated president, ransacked the US Capitol.

The committee, since disbanded, concluded that Trump "oversaw and coordinated a sophisticated seven-part plan to overturn the presidential election and prevent the transfer of presidential power."

Cheney has dismissed the accusations against her as "a malicious and cowardly assault on the truth" that no "reputable lawyer, legislator or judge" would take seriously.

She said her panel had heard from "scores of Republican witnesses, including many of the most senior officials from Trump's own White House, campaign and Administration" and had produced "a highly detailed and meticulously sourced 800-page report."

Trump has a long history of attacking Cheney, the daughter of former US vice president Dick Cheney, and as recently as October called her a "Muslim-hating warmonger... who wants to invade practically every Muslim country on the planet."

She was once seen as rising star among the Republicans in the House of Representatives, but was booted from her leadership position and then lost her Wyoming seat over her criticism of Trump's refusal to concede defeat in the 2020 election.

She announced ahead of November's presidential election that she would be voting for Trump's opponent, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump was indicted by both the federal Justice Department and the state of Georgia over his alleged leadership of a multi-pronged criminal conspiracy to overturn his 2020 election defeat.

Prosecutions of sitting US presidents are barred under justice department policy and the federal case was dropped after his victory, with the state case stalled amid motions to drop the proceedings.

Here’s When Skibidi Toilet Arrives In ‘Fortnite,’ The Dawn Of A New Era

December 18, 2024 0

 Fortnite is no stranger to wild skins, which recently have ranged from Godzilla to Mariah Carey arriving in the game two days from now. But tonight? A new era begins. Fortnite has gotten so online that it is bringing the infamous meme Skibidi Toilet to the shop.



I’m not sure it’s even fully worth explaining what Skibidi Toilet is because either you know, or you will never really understand what the hell is going on here. The long and short of it is that it’s a number of videos made in Source Filmmaker that exploded on YouTube with tens of millions of views, becoming one of the most prominent Zoomer memes of that generation. You want to see it? Okay, enjoy:

Look, I’m not going to judge. Do you know how many completely dumb and nonsense memes we had as millennials growing up? What comes to mind when I say “Badger” or “Banana”? Yeah, if you’re my age, you know. This is like Fortnite getting those skins.

What’s actually coming, and when? Well, shop reset is tonight at 8 PM ET, which is when Skibidi arrives in a few different forms. According to leaks there will b

There was a viral Skibidi emote going around the last few days, but that turned out to be a mod rather than anything official. Unless I’ve missed something there is not an actual Skibidi Toilet emote.
