At last, the sturdy boot of Managed Democracy will be delivered to those who deserve it nearly as much as bugs and bots. The latest patch for Helldivers 2 adds an AFK kick timer to remove AWOL players so that active divers can be allowed to unleash justice. Following patch 1.000.11, Helldivers 2 will boot lobby-dwellers after 15 minutes of inactivity. There are other fixes with the patch, mind. But the timer is an important addition.

As It Happens6:24Great apes get a kick out of 'playfully teasing' each other, study findsWhat do you call it when a chimpanzee offers his buddy a delicious piece of fruit only to pull his hand away at the last second? Or when a bonobo repeatedly pokes, prods and pulls on the hair of an older relative not hard enough to hurt, but just enough to be annoying?It's not quite play, argues anthropologist Erica Cartmill, but it's not quite aggression either. It's "playful teasing." And, according to a new study, it's a very…

If you live in a marginal constituency and felt bombarded by leaflets, billboards and online ads at the last general election, brace yourself. Last year, Michael Gove dramatically increased the limits on campaign spending. A tsunami of bumf is heading your way.Ministers argued that the changes – which saw the cap on party spending increase by 80%, and the one on candidate spending by almost a third – reflected inflation since the limits were last set, in 2000. But the shift will only amplify the centrality of big money to…

I haven’t thought about it,” says J Mascis, when being asked about his band, the alt-rock pioneers Dinosaur Jr, turning 40 this year. “I just put one foot in front of the other.” The response is akin to a verbal shrug, which is a common reply for Mascis. A lot has been written about his communicative reticence over the years and I can confirm every adjective used about him – laconic, phlegmatic, apathetic, listless – is accurate. Still, in between the monosyllabic answers, he is also quietly funny. And if you lean into…

It was 2015. Trump had recently announced his campaign for president with his “Mexico isn’t sending their best” speech, and Kelly Osbourne was a guest host on The View, discussing Trump’s stance on immigration alongside hosts, including Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie Perez.  “If you kick every Latino out of this country,” Osbourne started, letting out a nervous giggle. “Then who is going to be cleaning your toilets, Donald Trump?” The camera focused on Osbourne’s face as she quickly realized — thanks to her…

CinemaDon’t talk during the opening creditsNot talking during the film should be a given. It is OK to talk (quietly) during the ads and it is similarly OK to talk (even more quietly) during the trailers. But the microsecond the film starts then you shut up. The credits are not like two football teams warming up before kickoff. The credits are part of the film.Do not kick the seat in front of you, or even press your knees against it It’s amazing how many people don’t understand what not kicking the seat in front of you…
