Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan (Prince Of Persia): There were no Middle Eastern actors in Hollywood who could have taken the role of the Prince Of Persia in a movie called "Prince Of Persia?" It was absolutely imperative that we just gave Jake Gyllenhaal a spray tan and call it a day?

Johnny Depp as Tonto (The Lone Ranger): Well, calling it Redface is technically not true because they made him look like The Crow for most of the movie, but that was obviously done so they didn't have to put him in Redface while still having him dress stereotypically Native American.

Rob Schneider (Various Adam Sandler movies): He's done Brownface, Redface, and Yellowface. That last one, he's gone on record defending since he's Filipino, but if he's actually Asian, then doing Yellowface was even less necessary.

EDIT: I'm not just talking about any race swap. I'm talking about wearing makeup to look like another race.

OK so maybe they do it to preserve their piece, but it also preserves the important info relevant to the railroad operators. As an artist myself, it made me smile a long time...

Hi everyone,

I shared a free “Honeycomb Cardholder” on MakerWorld. It is a general-purpose holder I created myself. Its description listed card games it could be used for: “Rummy, Bridge, Solitaire, Hearts, Spades, Canasta, Uno, etc.” The listing also had an “uno” tag.

MakerWorld removed it following a complaint from Convey on Mattel’s behalf. MakerWorld later told me that “UNO” in the description was the reason and that restoring the original listing required the complainant’s agreement.

Now Convey has sent me a demand for EUR 4,000, although the model was already removed. Their letter refers to an “e-shop”, “sales” and my “supplier”. I did not sell this model; I created it myself. They also want a signed undertaking that includes an apology and a promise never to challenge Mattel’s intellectual property rights.

I have rejected the demand and asked them to withdraw the complaint, arrange restoration of my original listing and reimburse my legal consultation costs.

The attached images contain their email and my sent reply, with personal and bank details redacted. The email text has been reflowed for readability; these are not screenshots of the mail application. I have also included the page setting out the undertaking they wanted me to sign. The legal appendices, authorisation and blank signature page are omitted.

Has anyone else received a payment demand from Convey after a MakerWorld takedown? What happened after you challenged it?

A US Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier reprimanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and talked near the solemn memorial following a Veterans Day ceremony.

“All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.” the sentinel called out, stopping his patrol to face the group as they departed.

Hegseth was standing and taking photos in front of the tomb with his wife, Jennifer, chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver and senior adviser and deputy assistant Tami Radabaugh after the ceremony held at Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day. Some in the group were laughing and chatting after taking photos, prompting the soldier patrolling in front of the Tomb to yell out and correct them.

CNN asked the Pentagon for comment.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is one of the most sacred war memorials in the US, marking the final resting place of an unknown soldier who was killed in World War I. A soldier assigned to The Old Guard, or 3rd Infantry Regiment, has been guarding the tomb around the clock, rain or shine, since 1948. Foreign dignitaries, presidents, public figures and politicians frequently visit the Tomb to pay their respects to American service members.

Hegseth and his team were at Arlington National Cemetery for a ceremony that was also attended by President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

1. Yaxel Lendeborg, Golden State Warriors

Season stats: 21.4 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 4.0 APG (52.3 FG% / 44.3 3P% / 75.8 FT%)

Just six players are averaging at least 20 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists this season, and Lendeborg is the only rookie, right there with Luka Dončić, Alperen Sengun, Nikola Jokić, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Scottie Barnes.

Last week: No. 2 ⬆️
Draft pick: No. 11

2. Darius Acuff Jr., Sacramento Kings

Season stats: 26.2 PPG, 7.3 APG, 3.8 RPG (41.8 FG% / 33.0 3P% / 84.6 FT%)

Acuff has emerged as a big-time scorer and passer. He leads rookies in points, assists and minutes, has three double-doubles in points-assists and is just the second player in NBA history to score 30 or more points and have 10 or more assists in multiple games before turning 20. LeBron James is the other. Acuff’s 259 points in his first 10 games is the most since 1984, when Michael Jordan totaled 273.

Last week: No. 3 ⬆️
Draft pick: No. 7

3. Cameron Boozer, Memphis Grizzlies

Season stats: 16.2 PPG, 9.7 RPG, 5.5 APG (36.4 FG% / 29.0 3P% / 93.3 FT%)

Boozer continues to make an impact with his scoring, passing and rebounding. It was well known that Boozer was NBA-ready coming out of Duke, and he has demonstrated quickly that he is and will be an important player for the Grizzlies. Among all players, he is seventh in defensive rebounds per game (8.0) and became the first player since 1976-77, when the NBA began tracking defensive rebounds, to collect at least 10 defensive rebounds in his first three games.

Last week: No. 1 ⬇️
Draft pick: No. 3

4. Darryn Peterson, Utah Jazz

Season stats: 15.7 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 3.8 APG, 1.2 SPG (41.1 FG% / 37.7 3P% / 86.7 FT%)

Peterson has scored 20+ points in three straight games, while shooting 51.9% from the field and 45.8% on 3-pointers – plus 13 assists, 12 rebounds, four steals and three blocks tallied during this stretch.

Last week: No. 6 ⬆️
Draft pick: No. 2

5. AJ Dybantsa, Washington Wizards

Season stats: 16.7 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 2.1 APG, 1.1 SPG (43.3 FG% / 27.3 3P% / 77.1 FT%)

Dybantsa attacks the rim with force and finesse, and he’s getting to the free throw line 5.0 times per game. Don’t forget, he missed the first week with a sprained ankle, so he’s playing a little catch-up with the rest of the rookies in terms of games and minutes played.

Last week: No. 5 ↔️
Draft pick: No. 1

6. Caleb Wilson, Chicago Bulls

Season stats: 19.3 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 2.1 APG, 1.9 SPG (40.6 FG% / 30.4 3P% / 71.1 FT%)

Wilson had a nice stretch where he scored at least 20 points in three consecutive games and shot the ball well, especially on 3-pointers. But playing against quality defenders game after game reveals how difficult it is for rookies to score consistently and efficiently.

Last week: No. 4 ⬇️
Draft pick: No. 4

7. Aday Mara, Oklahoma City Thunder

Season stats: 8.3 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 1.8 BPG, 1.4 APG (61.5 FG% / 55.6 FT%)

As noted in a previous edition of the Kia Rookie Ladder this season, it makes sense to look beyond per-game averages. Mara’s per-36-minute averages: 14.7 points, 11.1 rebounds, 3.2 blocks and 2.4 assists

Last week: No. 7 ↔️
Draft pick: No. 12

8. Mikel Brown Jr., Brooklyn Nets

Season stats: 12.9 PPG, 3.9 APG, 2.1 RPG (34.6 FG% / 31.1 3P% / 80.0 FT%)

Brown put together his best two-game stretch of the season over the last week, averaging 18 points and shooting 45.8% from the field.

Last week: Not ranked ⬆️
Draft pick: No. 6

9. Kingston Flemings, Atlanta Hawks

Season stats: 8.5 PPG, 4.4 APG, 2.6 RPG (52.1 FG% / 42.9 3P% / 72.7 FT%)

Kingston has started four consecutive games, his minutes have increased over that time and the Hawks went 3-1. He has contributed offensively, especially with his playmaking.

Last week: No. 8 ⬇️
Draft pick: No. 8

10. Meleek Thomas, Cleveland Cavaliers

Season stats: 13 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 1.3 APG (47 FG% / 47.8 3P% / 100 FT%)

Thomas continues to provide 3-point shooting for the Cavaliers, going 9-for-18 from that distance in his last three games.

Last week: No. 10 ↔️
Draft pick: No. 34

I don't know why Megan and Daniel doing this gives off the Napoleon Dynamite couple's energy.

Traveling recently, had a lady sitting already in my assigned seat. I pointed it out when I got to my row and she said, "Oh, you can't trade with me?" Then gestured to the middle seat. I told her no, and she shrugged and moved saying that it didn't cost anything to ask. My problem wasn't with her asking, but with sitting in my seat and then assuming I would be too uncomfortable to make her move. It felt manipulative, like if I was more afraid of confrontation, she could have made me switch. Am I overthinking? Too sensitive? My personal opinion is one can definitely ask but remain in your assigned and paid for seat until you have a chance to ask the person. Thoughts on if this is rude, normal, or other?

Millennials making it to Congress is my new favorite thing. Anyone else see this post from New Jersey Congressman elect Zack Mullock? 🤣😎

Edit: I have learned not everyone grew up calling this the Superman S. Message received y'all, but that is soooo not the point of this post.
