Donald Trump‘s takeover of the Republican National Committee is now official. The RNC voted on Friday to elect Michael Whatley — an election denier — as its new leader, and Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter-in-law and campaign surrogate, as co-chair. The move comes after chairwoman Ronna McDaniel stepped down from the job following a MAGA pressure campaign. The RNC officially elects Michael Whatley as its new chairman, elevating the North Carolina GOP chair who has made a name for himself promoting…

If modern games are sports cars – flashy, fast, expensive and noisy – the original Tomb Raider is a shopping trolley: clunky, slow and not much to look at. Cumbersome to operate, especially if you’re used to automatic gears and sat nav. Quiet, apart from the odd squeaky wheel. Absolutely brilliant at doing what it was designed to do. And yours for a quid.Well, £24.99, which is the asking price for Tomb Raider I-III Remastered. This offering includes Lara Croft’s first three adventures from 1996-98, plus the expansion…

Donald Trump is considering endorsing Lara Trump — his daughter-in-law and an aspiring singer-songwriter who recently released a cringe-worthy cover of Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down” — to co-chair the Republican National Committee, The New York Times reported on Monday. The Times reported last week that Ronna McDaniel, the RNC’s current chairwoman, told Trump that she plans to step down from the position she’s held since 2017 after the South Carolina primary later this month. Trump is now expected to support…

Spent Light is subtitled “A Book”. It’s not a memoir, but not really autofiction either; life writing, maybe, but the lives in question are not human. Pawson’s writing is prompted by objects usually considered inanimate but made and traded by people in systems that do harm. The book is among them, a physical object, in case you hadn’t noticed. (The book is interested in things you may not have noticed, or may have chosen not to notice.)In the opening pages the narrator is given a toaster previously belonging to a deceased…

I forgot this was a thing! Remember when studio Feral Interactive announced in 2021 that the Lara Croft Collection was coming to Switch in 2022? Me neither! Confirmed as a “collaboration” between Feral Games and Crystal Dynamics, the collection (which consists of two spinoff games featuring Tomb Raider hero Lara Croft) was delayed, seemingly indefinitely. But now it’s back. The latest news comes straight from a new trailer released by Feral Interactive, which definitively announces a June 29, 2023 release date.…

Donald Trump’s announced 2024 bid for the White House means a member of his family will no longer be getting a Fox News paycheck.The network confirmed Saturday it has parted ways with Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter-in-law.

Image: Arianne Lara CarrilloA week ago, a new bus mascot happily presented itself to the world in Sabadell, a city outside of Barcelona in Spain. For some, it was big, unique, and colorful, with a certain je ne sais quoi. I, like many others, thought it looked like Pixar’s Baymax, Spanish style. Others were taken aback by the mascot, even going so far as to call it the stuff of nightmares.In the end, I’m certain Sabadell’s new bus mascot would have made a splash on social media in some way or another. However, it made an…

Just a few weeks ago, the Alicia Vikander-led Tomb Raider sequel was revealed to have been cancelled following much speculation about the franchise's future. It's still unclear as to what lies ahead for the property as another studio seeks to gain the rights. But some are already fancasting new actresses for the lead role, and Aubrey Plaza has emerged as a candidate. I can’t imagine a better Lara Croft and, apparently, neither can Edgar Wright. With that, Plaza shared some thoughts on possibly taking over the iconic…

“The vast marvel is to be alive,” DH Lawrence wrote in his last book, Apocalypse, while he was dying. “The magnificent here and now of life in the flesh is ours, and ours alone, and ours only for a time.” Many people had a similar feeling during the Covid lockdown: how precious life is and how easily snatched away. For Lara Feigel there was a mix of exhilaration and unease as she decamped from London to make a home in the Oxfordshire countryside, along with two small children, her new partner and a stack of Lawrence’s…
