Oklahoma State’s victory over Oregon was a calculated upset rather than a fluke. In the first half, the Cowboys repeatedly broke through the Ducks’ defense, forcing two Oregon scores while maintaining a 2‑to‑1 advantage in first downs and yardage. The game’s outcome mirrored Oklahoma State’s earlier week loss to Tulsa, highlighting the team’s resilience. Oregon, which had struggled against Boise and Memphis in recent matchups, entered the game as a 24‑point favorite but fell short. Commentators emphasized that the win was not accidental, noting the Cowboys’ disciplined play and strategic execution. The result underscores Oklahoma State’s capacity to challenge top‑tier teams and suggests a potential shift in conference dynamics. The game’s narrative frames the Cowboys’ triumph as a deliberate, hard‑earned performance rather than a lucky stumble.
During a trip to Ireland, former U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed concerns about artificial intelligence, saying the warnings were exaggerated. He told reporters that negative voices were pushing the issue and that the risks were unlikely to materialise. Trump added that the United States must stay ahead of China in AI, arguing that whoever leads in the technology will win globally.
The comments came after a group of top AI executives, including Elon Musk and Sam Altman, called for a slowdown in development to mitigate potential dangers. Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon, who recently left the company, warned that rapid progress could pose an immediate threat to humanity. The Anthropic CEO, Dario Amodei, also urged a coordinated slowdown but cautioned that it should not allow China to overtake the U.S. Meanwhile, U.S. lawmakers are debating regulation, with Speaker Mike Johnson warning that rushed rules could stifle innovation and cost the country its competitive edge.
A bipartisan bill, the Frontier Act, has been introduced to create a national AI safety framework. The debate highlights the tension between innovation and precaution as the U.S. and China race to dominate the field.
In 1985, the television industry was stunned when Barry Bremen, a man known as "The Great Imposter," successfully infiltrated the 37th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. A former insurance salesman from Michigan, Bremen used his natural charisma and tall stature to blend in with the Hollywood elite at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.
Bremen had built a legendary reputation for sneaking into major sporting events, including NBA All-Star games, MLB All-Star games, and the World Series. He famously posed as a baseball umpire and even joined the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders during a broadcast. His exploits were so well known that they eventually became the subject of an ESPN E60 documentary narrated by Jeremy Schaap.
While Bremen had previously attempted to crash the Academy Awards and other Emmy ceremonies, the 1985 event marked one of his most successful infiltrations. His wife, Margo, noted that his drive stemmed from a desire to be recognized, fueled by his passions for both athletics and film. Despite his history of high-profile stunts, his actions were often viewed as harmless, victimless pranks from a pre-9/11 era.
House Minority Leader Jim Jeffries clarified that the House has not yet ruled in or out impeachment proceedings against former President Donald Trump. He stressed that accountability will be pursued by following facts, applying the law, and upholding the Constitution. Jeffries noted that key oversight committees, led by Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia, are actively working to maintain the House’s role as a check on executive power.
When Sergio Aguero signed for Manchester City in 2011 on a £35 million deal, he immediately became the club’s talisman, scoring 30 goals in his first Premier League campaign. City’s season culminated in a title win and a historic double over their cross‑town rivals, Manchester United. In October, Aguero struck in a 6‑1 rout at Old Trafford, and in April he helped secure a 1‑0 victory at the Etihad, both results proving decisive in the title race. The Argentine also finished the season with an injury‑time winner against QPR that sealed the championship. In a FourFourTwo interview, Aguero said the season’s success hinged on a mindset shift: “This has to change – we can beat them.” He credited that mental change for breaking the long‑standing perception that United were always superior. The memories of those derby victories remain his proudest moments from that landmark year.
The Federal Trade Commission recently imposed a five‑year ban on General Motors for selling customer driving data to third‑party brokers, a move that followed a New York Times investigation that linked the data to higher insurance premiums. GM had long collected detailed metrics such as speeding frequency and nighttime driving, feeding that information to LexisNexis and Verisk, which use it to build risk profiles for insurers. Many drivers were unaware of the data sharing because the Opt‑in process for OnStar’s Smart Driver feature was confusing and automatically enabled data collection when users signed up for connected services. A Mozilla Foundation study of major automakers’ privacy policies found that every company had “horrible privacy and security,” and that consumers were forced to accept overlapping terms for the vehicle, its app, and financing. Consumer Reports echoed these findings, concluding that almost every U.S. automaker collects and sells driver‑behavior data with little public scrutiny. In response, lawmakers have introduced the DRIVER Act, which would give owners more control over their data but still allow automakers to sell it, a compromise that privacy advocates reject. Meanwhile, former Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has proposed a “Freedom Car” that would prohibit wireless data transmission, reflecting a push for simpler, disconnected vehicles. As the debate continues, consumers are demanding cars that do not collect excessive data, and it remains unclear whether new legislation will curb the industry’s data practices.
Belgian director Michaël R. Roskam has turned a 1943 media heist into a period comedy‑thriller, calling it “Ocean’s Eleven, but with a newspaper.” The film, titled Le Faux Soir, dramatizes how Belgian journalists and printers hijacked the Nazi‑controlled newspaper Le Soir and replaced it with a satirical counterfeit that mocked the occupiers, a first‑ever media hack. Roskam, known for Bullhead and The Drop, worked with co‑writer Bernard Falaise to adapt the story, insisting on realistic, humor‑driven characters rather than overt satire. He cast prominent French‑speaking actors such as François Damiens, Arieh Worthalter, Bouli Lanners, and Mélanie Thierry to embody the witty resistance fighters. The director emphasized the importance of period authenticity, researching 1940s printing techniques and consulting surviving witnesses. Le Faux Soir premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and is being sold worldwide by Goodfellas. The film offers a fresh take on resistance, blending historical intrigue with comedic timing, and showcases how humor can serve as a form of defiance against tyranny.
ArenaNet studio head Colin Johanson has detailed the momentum mechanics planned for Guild Wars 3 during a presentation at Gamescom. The upcoming action-adventure online role-playing game aims to eliminate abrupt stops between exploration and combat. Johanson described the feature as a first for the genre, promising seamless continuity when players transition between distinct actions.
Under the new design, characters maintain physical speed across activities such as riding mounts, gliding, diving, flying, and wall-running. Momentum directly shapes combat encounters, allowing velocity to enhance attack strength and area-of-effect radius. For instance, a warrior descending rapidly from above or leaping from a wall will inflict greater damage while knocking foes into environmental obstacles to stun them.
Environmental awareness will play a key role during battles, requiring players to leverage surroundings to maximise tactical control. While ArenaNet has not finalized an official release date, the studio plans to launch a beta test in autumn 2027. Guild Wars 3 is currently in development for personal computers and the PlayStation 5 console.
Vintage Violence, directed by Eugene Kotlyarenko, launches with a vertical livestream of an urbex influencer exploring a deserted American house, immediately establishing a chaotic aesthetic. The story follows Carter, played by Cole Sprouse, who has just been released from prison after serving time for an accidental death, and he stumbles upon a crate of untouched 19th‑century Levi’s jeans. Izumi, portrayed by Kiko Mizuhara, watches the livestream from Tokyo, buys tokens, and texts Carter an invitation to Japan, promising a lucrative denim resale and a budding romance. Kotlyarenko weaves a fragmented narrative that splits into multiple timelines, introducing yakuza figures like Edoga, a denim‑obsessed nepo‑baby, and Ko, a prosthetic‑armed avenger who sprays enemies with a mix of fentanyl, ketamine, meth, and tirzepatide. The film’s humor relies on language jokes, such as Carter confusing “saiko” with “psycho,” and draws heavily on the visual style of Seijun Suzuki and the brutality of Takashi Miike. Critics note that while the characters lack sympathy, the frenetic camerawork, denim‑lined rooms, and over‑the‑top violence keep the audience engaged. Ultimately, the review finds the film too much, with its overstimulation and performative anti‑foreign sentiment undermining its potential for deeper storytelling.

The success of season 10 sets the stage for future episodes and solidifies Scrubs’ place in modern television history.
