The US is considering a request by Ukraine for long-range Tomahawk missiles, US Vice-President JD Vance has said. However, Vance added President Donald Trump would be making "the final determination" on the matter.
Kyiv has long been calling for its Western partners to provide it with weapons that could hit major Russian cities far from the front line, arguing that they would help Ukraine seriously weaken Russia's military industry and bring the war to an end.

While Vance remained ambivalent about Ukraine's request for Tomahawks in his remarks on Sunday, the US special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, seemed to suggest Trump had already authorised strikes deep into Russian territory.
Asked on Fox News whether Washington had allowed Kyiv to carry out long-range strikes within Russia in specific instances, Kellogg said: "The answer is yes, use the ability to hit deep, there are no such things as sanctuaries."

BBC News - Huntington's disease successfully treated for first time - BBC News
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cevz13xkxpro

One of the cruellest and most devastating diseases Huntington's has been successfully treated for the first time, say doctors. The disease runs through families, relentlessly kills brain cells and resembles a combination of dementia, Parkinson's and motor neurone disease.An emotional research team became tearful as they described how data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients.

It means the decline you would normally expect in one year would take four years after treatment, giving patients decades of "good quality life", Prof Sarah Tabrizi told BBC News. The new treatment is a type of gene therapy given during 12 to 18 hours of delicate brain surgery. The first symptoms of Huntington's disease tend to appear in your 30s or 40s and is normally fatal within two decades opening the possibility that earlier treatment could prevent symptoms from ever emerging.

Some good news for a change, see what happens when you trust scientists and doctors and not insist that random painkillers can cause autism.

If its like Delta then absolutely. Don't change the story, just improve the graphics and controls.
I'd say the complete opposite. If it's like Delta, then what's the point?

MGS3 is my favourite game of all time, don't get me wrong. But I don't see the point of delta. Outside of crouch walking, it's the exact same game with all the 2004 jank still present. If you're going to remake a game and change absolutely nothing then I have to question why bother? They should have made it play like MGS5 and have an 'open world' instead of zones.

But to answer the question, no. There are other Metal Gear games that need a remake more than MGS2, like Metal Gear 1, 2 and Peace Walker.

First half is decent. The second half isn't great. Seems like they wrote the ending first and then attempted to come up with a reason why it had to end like that. Very contrived at times.

The villain's motivation seems to change with no explanation. He wants revenge on Blofeld - fair enough. And then he wants to conquer the world? Where did that come from?

I'm leaning towards the no side because you should never kill off Bond. Especially with having a fucking loser like Safin be the one that did him in.

I really don't like this. It really drags and Craig looks like he'd prefer to be anywhere else. The Brofeld twist is ridiculous - his entire reason to start up Spectre is because he was jealous of James growing up? It's almost a parody of Bond at this point.

The car chase is severely lacking in energy, it's just two supercars driving around Rome with no real urgency or anything to get your blood pumping. Stringing together all the previous Craig films into one narrative didn't work. So Le Chiffre, the dude from Quantum and Silva were all working for Blofeld the entire time?

It's by far my least favourite Craig film (and one of my least favourite Bond films ever, but it's not Die Another Day or A View to A Kill level)

A proposed bill in Michigan has a broad reach that covers everything from adult AI content to manga and even depictions of transgender people. It includes a VPN ban to avoid workarounds.

If you live in Michigan, you might not be able to legally use a VPN soon if a new bill is passed into law. On Sept. 11, Michigan Republican representatives proposed far-reaching legislation banning adult internet content.

The bill, called the Anticorruption of Public Morals Act and advanced by six Republican representatives, would ban a wide variety of adult content online, ranging from ASMR and adult manga to AI content and any depiction of transgender people. It also seeks to ban all use of VPNs, foreign or US-produced

The opening car chase is great, I'll say that. But you can clearly tell this was made during a writer's strike, the plot is all over the place. The editing does not help at all. There are so many cuts, it's like the camera has ADHD, it never stays still on one shot for long. Can make action scenes seriously disorienting.

Still, it's better than Spectre I guess.
