In defense of the snarky, stressed-out mom from Calvin and Hobbes

Calvin’s mom doesn't get enough credit. Within Bill Watterson’s classic comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, Calvin’s mom, who is a homemaker, is Calvin’s number one nurturer and the person preparing nearly all of his meals (which Calvin definitely doesn’t appreciate). She’s also his number one disciplinarian. She’s often depicted trying to get him to go to school or losing her patience with his childish antics, which often puts her at odds with both the rambunctious young boy and the Calvin and Hobbes fans who mostly empathize with him.

Mutiny star Jason Statham has an impressive filmography despite only properly starting his acting career in his 30s. In his younger years, Jason Statham had a passion for sports, namely diving and swimming, and that is when he was chosen to work for a sports-modeling agency — all while selling jewelry on the street, like his father did. While on a modeling gig, he was spotted by Guy Ritchie, who got him his first movie acting role in Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels back in 1998. This was the start of a prolific, action-packed career for Statham.

As soon as you log into Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4, you may notice the admin panel in the top right corner of the lobby. If you interact with it, you need to insert a lobby hack code.
Sicario 3 is real and gearing up to enter production shortly, according to Josh Brolin.
When speaking with Screen Rant, Brolin was asked about the long-awaited threequel and said that it "is happening" and that production will ramp up "soon." Not much else was revealed about the project, but if all of that is true, don't expect Denis Villeneuve in the director's chair. He's currently wrapping up Dune: Part 3 and will then immediately shift over to his James Bond film, which is currently going through the casting process to find its 007 as we speak.
Apart from the very occasional bundle, I can't remember the last time we recommended a deal on a CPU. Monitors, yes. Gaming PCs, definitely. But not CPUs, because however well-priced they are, it's hard to recommend a system upgrade when buying the rest of the system needed to go along with it is so damn expensive. I'm not entirely surprised, then, that Mercury Research says that desktop CPU shipments from AMD and Intel "in the second quarter are best described as ugly."

Gaming's biggest convention is back. This week, Gamescom 2026 kicks off in Cologne, Germany with an Opening Night Live showcase followed by a week of show-floor demos and events. Polygon will be in attendance at Gamescom this year, but gaming fans far and wide will be able to enjoy this year's show from home, thanks to multiple streams and showcases.
Honestly, I'm surprised nobody thought of this sooner. Via Kotaku, Stray Dog: Nobody Cares is a soulslike directly inspired by Dark Souls, which asks: "What if you played as Great Grey Wolf Sif?" It's an idea that seems painfully obvious in hindsight, and I can only credit developer Parry Frames Studio for doing the hard work of making it a reality.
