Call of Duty WWII Review: A stunning return to the beaches of Normandy
For folks who have played Call of Duty since the beginning, this is a welcome return to the game they fell in love with. Soldiers appear more human, instead of looking like some futuristic, cyber-mutant Marine.

Instagram now lets you add any photos or videos to your Stories
Instagram is turning on a feature that many users have asked for, letting users add photos and videos from their camera roll – even if they’re older than 24 hours.

Can artificial intelligence revolutionize porn?

Porn platforms offer many enjoyable things, but an easy-to-navigate user experience isn’t one of them. Now they’re hoping that artificial intelligence could change all that.
In recent weeks, several major players in the adult entertainment space have announced plans to roll out AI-led features. Pornhub debuted theirs earlier this month, xHamster says it has a system in the works, and today YouPorn is launching their own version, along with a site redesign and a new logo.
The promise of AI is clear: to maximize personalization. Instead of relying on users alone to tag videos — which is haphazard and inconsistent — it will allow these sites to build a more comprehensive database of what they’re offering. And, in turn, it will allow viewers to find videos that are more closely aligned with their interests. Read more…

Well, this all feels chillingly familiar.
Steven Spielberg’s The Post centers on a team of journalists working to expose the U.S. government for lying to the American people. But it’s not a story about our current situation – it’s about The Washington Post publishing the Pentagon Papers in the 1970s.

Mere days after his brother Noel featured a scissor player at one of his concerts, Liam Gallagher has one-upped him with something even weirder.
Oh, it’s … uh … it’s just a guy peeling a potato. Okay!
It all began on Tuesday, when Gallagher announced that he was “looking for somebody to peel some spuds live onstage” at a show that nightAs NME points out, Gallagher is fond of referring to his brother as a “potato,” so we are sure this makes sense somehow.
