World of Warcraft adds a new toy players can collect in its Noblegarden event, but fully unlocking it will require players to wait several years.

This bizarre unlock process is not account-wide, causing no small amount of frustration among World of Warcraft players. Noblegarden is World of Warcraft’s in-game event that corresponds to the real-life Easter holiday. This year, to celebrate the addition of ducks in WoW: Dragonflight, Blizzard added a few new duck-themed things to…

Bentley is preparing an update for its Continental GT, and the latest prototype to be spotted is for the convertible. Prototypes for the coupe were also spotted earlier. The current Continental GT went on sale in 2018 as a 2019 model. This updated version is expected to start sales in 2024, meaning it will likely arrive as a 2025 model in the U.S. Judging by the camouflage gear used on the test vehicles, the design changes will be minimal. The most significant of the tweaks appears to be new internals for the lights at both ends. While it appears little…

Disney CEO Bob Iger on Wednesday fended off an aggressive challenge by activist investors seeking to take the company in a new direction, averting what would have been a stunning embarrassment for one of Hollywood’s leading executives.The entertainment conglomerate’s corporate leadership was facing a bold attack from billionaire activist investor Nelson Peltz, who loudly pushed the company to come up with a concrete succession plan and derided efforts to make more diverse movies and shows.But that crusade fell short, as Disney shareholders approved board members backed by the current company leadership, denying seats for Peltz and his ally Jay Rasulo,…

Forest destruction in Brazil and Colombia fell “steeply” between 2022 and 2023, according to data from the University of Maryland’s GLAD Lab that has been shared on the World Resources Institute’s Global Forest Watch. In Brazil, primary forest loss decreased by 36%, and in Colombia it decreased by 49%, which the WRI called a “remarkable” drop.”Yet despite these dramatic reductions, the rate of tropical primary forest loss in 2023 remained stubbornly consistent,” Forest Watch researchers warned, due to huge spikes in tree cutting in Bolivia, Laos and Nicaragua.

Soudal-Quickstep have seen their reign in the Spring Classics fade in recent years with the rise of Wout van Aert, Mathieu van der Poel and Tadej Pogačar and their focus on building a team behind Remco Evenepoel’s Grand Tour ambitions. But veteran Yves Lampaert says the situation is not a disaster.In 2021, Quickstep won the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad (Davide Ballerini), Brugge-De Panne (Sam Bennett), E3 Saxo Classic (Kasper Asgreen), Tour of Flanders (Kasper Asgreen), and La Flèche Wallonne (Julian Alaphilippe).Since Evenepoel took up one-day racing in 2022, he’s won Liège-Bastogne-Liège twice, and Tim Merlier has won Nokere Koerse in 2023…

Elon Musk, the world’s third-richest man, promised Disney shareholders he would dip into his vast wealth to buy up stock in the troubled entertainment giant if they voted hedge fund manager Nelson Peltz onto the board today.  The activist investor is losing a bitterly fought proxy war with Bob Iger, whose decision to halt ad spending on X threatened to bankrupt Musk’s social media company. The Tesla boss retaliated by calling for Disney to sack its CEO and is funding a wrongful dismissal lawsuit against Disney filed by actress Gina Carano. Musk, who recently posed smiling for the cameras standing next to Peltz, openly endorsed the…

Retribution seems to be all the rage these days on the right, given Donald Trump’s chilling vow that it will be the driving force of his second term should he win one. So Republicans might have figured that Christine Blasey Ford, in her new memoir, would seek revenge against Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh and others, including Trump, who smeared her for publicly alleging in 2018 that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her when they were teenagers in suburban Washington.Ford isn’t vengeful, however. On the first page of “One Way Back,” the psychology professor and researcher writes, “If you had…

USATSI The calendar has flipped to April, which means all bets are off for the remainder of the NBA regular season. These are the days of G League call-ups, 10-day contracts and guys most casual fans have probably never heard of putting up big numbers. Even by those standards, though, Malachi Flynn’s 50-point game for the Detroit Pistons ranks among the most surprising performances we’ve ever seen. Flynn, who is on his third team of the season, went off for 50 points, six rebounds, five assists and three steals on 18-of-25 from the field in the Pistons’ 121-113 loss to the…
