3 h. ago The golden rule of Trump and Farage’s free speech crusade: they’re allowed to chat rubbish – you’re not | Marina Hyde

The Reform leader has been in the US, bemoaning Britain’s ‘awful authoritarian situation’. It’s a shame about his party’s own anti-media huff back homeSign up for our new weekly newsletter Matters of Opinion, where our columnists and writers will reflect on what they’ve been debating, thinking about, reading and morePop quiz. Of whom did Donald Trump say admiringly: “I also learned that he loves his country very much”? And: “He wrote me beautiful letters. And they are great letters. We fell in love”?If you answered “Nigel Farage”, then I’m sorry.

4 h. ago Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow what does James Gunn’s new Superman title mean?

In Superman: Man of Tomorrow, will the Man of Steel team up with Lex Luthor? Duke it out with him in the galaxy’s most unexpected custody battle? Or tackle climate change and LGBTQ+ rights?Is tomorrow just another day, as the adage goes? Or is it suddenly a franchise-within-a-franchise, a special wing of the nascent DC Universe focused in hard on what all those nutty Kryptonian super-cousins have been up to? What we do know, thanks to studio boss James Gunn in a series of social media splurts, is that Tomorrow is most definitely the future. Gunn has revealed that his follow-up to Superman will be titled Superman: Man of Tomorrow, due out in 2027. Now you might think you’ve heard the title before, and that would be because you have: next year sees the release of the already announced Supergirl, which up until June was titled Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.What are we to make of that title? In the comics, “Man of Tomorrow” has long been one of Superman’s many sobriquets, a hopeful tagli...

5 h. ago The Brady Exception is another case of the NFL jettisoning objectivity and integrity

The former quarterback’s role as an analyst has blurred into his part-ownership of the Las Vegas Raiders. It’s far from the league’s first misstep of lateTom Brady catches all the breaks. First, the Tuck Rule helped pave the way for his charmed NFL career. Now, there’s the Brady Exception to ease his unexpectedly rough transition into the broadcast booth.Quick refresher: In May 2022 Fox rushed to sign Brady to a blockbuster 10-year, $375m deal to work as their lead analyst once he retired (that ended up being the end of the 2022 season). Then, a year later, Brady called a surprise audible and bought a 5% stake in the Las Vegas Raiders, without apparently considering how that might affect his position at Fox. In a typical setup, the top broadcast booths embed with the teams they’re covering in the days leading up to a game.
