On Wednesday (November 27), a tweet from former investment banker and author John LeFevre went viral. In the post, he included a screenshot of a headline, which read: “Ben Stiller says woke America killed ‘edgier’ comedy,” alongside a photo of Stiller’s Tropic Thunder character. In the controversial 2008 satirical comedy, Stiller plays Tugg Speedman, a method actor known for his portrayal of an autistic farmer called Simple Jack. “Says this…. Endorsed Harris…,” LeFevre tweeted, referring to the headline. Fervent Trump supporter Musk, who the President-elect has hinted will play a role in his cabinet, reshared the post hours later, adding: “Damn he went full r*****.” Musk’s remark is likely a reference to a line from the movie said by Robert Downey Jr.’s character …

Angela Rayner raved in Ibiza as the Government faced widespread fury over its smoking ban and warned of tough times to come for pensioners and taxpayers. The Labour Deputy Prime Minister was spotted on the Spanish holiday island dancing in front of thousands of people. The video was unearthed just days after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer painted a gloomy image of Britain, warning that he will ask Britons to endure more pain to fix the country. But Ms Rayner danced beside renowned DJ FISHER who blasted out a dance remix of Gotye’s hit song Somebody That I Used to Know. As the nightclub lit up with flashing lights, the Deputy Prime Minister was seen jumping up and down with the music. FISHER, whose real name is Paul Fisher, put his headphones round the neck of the Labour minister as he laughed and hugged her. Skills Minister Jacqui Smith on Friday confirmed the Government’s proposed outdoor smoking ban would mean “fewer places where you actually can smoke” as she claimed the habit was the “biggest …

Gilgeous-Alexander made 8 of 19 field goals and 11 of 13 free throws before coming out of the game with 3:26 remaining and the Thunder leading 111-89. Doncic, an MVP finalist like Gilgeous-Alexander, scored 19 points on 6-for-19 shooting and had five turnovers. He bristled when asked about his shooting. “Who cares,” he said. “We lost. We just got to move onto the next one. We’ve got to be better.” Lu Dort got most of the work guarding Doncic, with rookie Cason Wallace getting some of the action and 7-foot-1 center Holmgren pestering him near the rim.
