We already knew that the tensions and scares were going to ramp up in season 2 of , and the latest trailer provides a deeper glimpse into what to expect — along with teasing answers to some important (and weird) questions. The show follows a megacorporation called Lumon Industries, which utilizes a new procedure called severance that allows workers to spatially split their brains, creating two selves: one who works for Lumon, and another who lives life on the outside. The new clip shows the return of four Lumon employees — Mark (Adam Scott), Dylan (Zach Cherry), Helly (Britt Lower), and Irving (John Turturro) — who are back in the office after managing to bridge those two different worlds. However, it’s unclear if they’re actually in trouble for their actions; instead, they’ve turned into celebrities of sorts. That doesn’t mean that the vibes are any less unsettling, though, with the always-intense supervisor Milchick (Tramell Tillman) saying things like, “I’m tightening the leash.” More than anything, the new trailer promises answers to some of ’s strangest questions. There’s the mystery of what actually goes down in Lumon’s basement, which we’re told “will be remembered as one of the greatest moments on this planet” as well as just what the hell is going on with all of the goats. The trailer also introduces an unexpected new question: how could a child be an office manager? Clearly, there’s a lot going on in season 2, and it’s not too far off now. The new season of starts streaming on January 17th. In the meantime, here are some excellent new posters.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) — Trey Fort had 27 points in Samford's 97-90 win against Alabama A&M on Saturday night. Fort added five rebounds for the Bulldogs (10-3). Collin Holloway shot 4 of 5 from the field and 6 of 6 from the free-throw line to add 16 points. Julian Brown shot 4 for 5 (3 for 4 from 3-point range) and 3 of 3 from the free-throw line to finish with 14 points. The Bulldogs (4-8) were led by Anthony Bryant, who recorded 22 points. Alabama A&M also got 21 points and 10 assists from Bilal Abdur-Rahman. Quincy McGriff also had 13 points.

Ever since it was announced, there has been some confusion over just what actually is. The video game-themed anthology streaming on Prime Video — helmed by creator Tim Miller — is a collection of animated shorts, each based on a different gaming property. So there’s a episode that explores the character’s origin and a episode that attempts to create a metanarrative around the concept of a roguelike. It’s an interesting idea let down by a lack of interesting ideas. The 15 shorts are almost universally dull and manage to neither make their source material seem compelling nor provide new insights for existing fans. The real confusion is who this is actually for. The main problem is how homogenous is. Working directly with game publishers, the show pulls from an oddball but also impressively global list, with titles like Chinese megahit and Korean shooter . But despite featuring a large variety of video games, its episodes all feel very samey. It’s kind of the opposite of , which featured a number of different styles and tones as it explored horror and sci-fi. That’s how we got beautiful episodes like the trippy “The Very Pulse of the Machine.” , on the other hand, mostly utilizes a gritty, hyperrealistic style that makes almost all of its episodes look identical. It’s sort of like watching a nonstop barrage of cutscenes at E3 and not being able to tell the games apart. This works for some stories. The episode is appropriately grimdark. But I can’t say I really needed a hyperviolent take on Pac-Man. I’m not kidding: the Pac-Man episode is probably the goriest in the entire series, turning a classic arcade game into a brutal survivor story with copious blood and death. (The episode’s big twist is also the stupidest thing I’ve seen all year, and I sat through all of .) There are a handful of deviations that attempt to add some color and vibrancy, but they all end up looking like . The worst offender is the episode, which tries to merge a realistic style with an anime aesthetic and just comes off as an awkward, ugly mix of the two. It’s more than just how looks, though. The series is also dreadfully dull. The majority of episodes feel like the opening scene of a much bigger story, ending right when things seem to be getting interesting. Ideas repeat themselves a lot. There are no less than three episodes — based on , , and — that all try to tell a metastory about the concept of dying in a video game. And when the show does attempt some creative liberties, like with Pac-Man, it devolves into a bland attempt at edgy violence. Two of the strangest episodes are based on games you can’t actually play right now. One is set in the world of the now-infamous multiplayer shooter , which was the most disastrous launch in PlayStation history, resulting in the abrupt closure of both the game and its development studio. The other episode is based on , an upcoming roleplaying game published by company Wizards of the Coast. In another timeline, these episodes would be the ideal opportunity to show what makes these futuristic worlds unique and worth exploring further in a game. In reality, they make both and seem like the most generic science fiction stories imaginable. I’m struggling to come up with a single distinct thing to say about either. Really, is best summed up by its final episode. Called “Playtime,” it follows a bike courier in a near future world that looks like an AR-infested hellscape. Very quickly, she’s handed a mysterious package that pulls her into what can only be described as a PlayStation commercial. She’s chased by soldiers, avoids attacks from Kratos, and has a sweet moment with Sackboy. There’s no story. It’s a collection of Easter eggs tied to a brand, a chance to spot things you recognize from playing the games. Across its 15 episodes, fails to explain why any of these worlds are worth exploring, while at the same time failing to offer anything new for those already in the know. It sits in an awkward, empty middle ground. After watching all of it, I’m somehow more confused than before I started. Secret Level

Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald (Image: PA Wire/PA Images) The UK Government is “not minded to fund the North correctly”, Mary Lou McDonald claimed as she defended Sinn Fein’s record in the power-sharing Executive. Ms McDonald made the remarks as she seeks to lead Sinn Fein to victory in the Republic of Ireland’s General Election on Friday, and become the country’s Taoiseach. The Sinn Fein leader was responding to questioning on how the party could stand over pledges on housing delivery on the Republic of Ireland, given under supply in Northern Ireland .

Ms McDonald said Ms Hargey had set out a “hugely ambitious, transformational plan”. However, she added: “The Tories, sadly, who unfortunately hold the purse strings, and now the successor government, under (Sir) Keir Starmer, are not minded to fund the North correctly. That’s at the root of the problem.” Ms McDonald said the picture of the public service in Northern Ireland is generally “not good”, adding that to compare the two jurisdictions is like comparing apples and oranges. Speaking on RTE’s Six One News, she added: “North of the border, there is not the capacity to raise or vary taxes. You are looking at an entirely different scenario and I regret that deeply. I’m a united Irelander, but sadly, at this point in time, our country is partitioned.” Ms McDonald said First Minister Michelle O’Neill and other Sinn Fein members of the Executive “aim high” when making demands from the UK Government, adding that they are “constantly putting pressure on the Treasury”. She said: “It’s a matter of great frustration to me as a Republican and a united Irelander, that on the one hand the British government, the system, insists that it remain and hold jurisdiction in the North, and yet it won’t fund the place correctly.” Ms McDonald said Sinn Fein has “delivered in spades in very challenging circumstances” in the multi-party power-sharing arrangement. She argued that this showed Sinn Fein’s ability to “hold things together”. Asked about complaints that Northern Ireland’s health service is not provided adequate funding by the Sinn Fein Finance Minister, Ms McDonald said Caoimhe Archibald can not do a “loaves and fishes job”. She added: “She’s a brilliant, brilliant woman and a brilliant minister but she does not have the power of miracles, unfortunately.” For all the latest news, visit the Belfast Live homepage here and sign up to our daily newsletter here.

Skier/snowboarder Ester Ledecka has 2 Olympic races on same day in 2026, hoping for schedule change

Arsenal return to Premier League action with a simple task ahead of them in the coming weeks. If they are to close the nine point gap on Liverpool they are going to need to get on the sort of winning run that has eluded them over the first 11 games of the campaign. Their first attempt could well be a tricky one. Nottingham Forest are the only team to have beaten the league leaders so far this season and their resolute defense has fired them into fifth spot in the table, trailing the Gunners only on goal difference. Not since March 1989 have Forest won at Arsenal in the league, but Nuno Espirito Santo's side are impressive road operators with five wins and two draws from their last seven. Making that six from eight would be quite the way to spoil Mikel Arteta's big day as he celebrates 250 games in charge of Arsenal. Here is how you can watch the match and what you need to know: Viewing information Date : Saturday, November 23 | Time : 10 a.m. ET Location : Emirates Stadium -- London Live stream: Peacock Odds: Arsenal -250; Draw +360; Nottingham Forest +850 Team news Arsenal: The presence of Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Riccardo Calafiori and Leandro Trossard on the training field on Friday was welcome news for an Arsenal side whose injury problems never seem to fully ease. The latter limped out of Belgium's defeat to Israel but that proved to be a contact injury. Saka and Rice had not even joined up with England but Arteta confirmed they had had "partial sessions" while Calafiori, out for a month with a knee issue, is also on the comeback trail. Arteta meanwhile confirmed that Ben White will be out for "months," CBS Sports understands between two and three of them. Takehiro Tomiyasu might have been able to ease the pressure on the right back position but he will be away from the club for several weeks after multiple setbacks in his recovery from a knee injury. "He's one of the guys where the only thing he wants to do is to work 24 hours to get better and he feels terrible when he's not fit, so it's a real shame," said Arteta. "We're going to give him the best opportunity to try and unlock something to help him to have him back as quickly as possible, but I think we need to be patient." Possible Arsenal XI: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Odegaard, Merino; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli Nottingham Forest: Nuno opted to play his cards close to his chest in his pre-match press conference, stating that there's "some situations to manage and decide" in a squad that otherwise does not appear to have major issues. Ola Aina and Elliott Anderson both returned from international duty early but are expected to be available. Long term absentees Danilo and Ibrahima Sangare will not recover in time while there was some doubt about Ramon Sosa, yet to arrive back from international duty when Nuno spoke to the media. Whoever takes the field for Forest, confidence and belief will surely be high even after their defeat to Newcastle before the international break. "What I expect and what the players give to us is total commitment to do things right," said Nuno. "From the outside it can be surprising but for us? No. We work every day with them, we know the quality and talent they have, we demand a lot from them but we have to stay humble and realise it's a very long and tough season." Possible Forest XI: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno; Yates, Dominguez; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood Prediction This could be a slog for Arsenal against a very good defensive opponent but Martin Odegaard's presence might just offer enough for them to carry the day. PICK: Arsenal 2, Nottingham Forest 1

Laura Woods shares 'too cute' present from Arsenal boss Mikel ArtetaMORE THAN BOOKSLabour plans to make spiking a specific offence and has laid out plans for venue staff to be trained in relation to spiking, with a pilot to begin within weeks before a wider rollout next year. Ms Davies-Jones, asked about why it was worthwhile to make spiking a new offence when it is already illegal, said: “Spiking is a crime already. “A lot of people don’t realise that it is a crime already, which is part of the problem.” She said there were around 6,000 reports of spiking last year but that because it is an underreported crime, it is not clear how big of a problem it is. “Part of the problem we’ve got is around the data collection, so you don’t know if you’ve been spiked with a drink, a needle, a vape, for example,” she told Politics Hub on Sky News. Modernising the offence and giving police the tools to get accurate data allows a clearer picture of where, how and how often spiking is happening, she said. It is about “clarifying it, modernising it, making sure that people know exactly what this is...the law isn’t quite, it isn’t up to date. “It isn’t modern enough.” Sir Keir Starmer earlier said he hopes the change will give people “the confidence to come forward”, in a meeting of police bosses, transport figures and hospitality executives in Downing Street. Ms Davies-Jones and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper were among the attendees at the round-table discussion on Monday morning. Labour pledged in its manifesto to introduce a new offence for spiking, but there was no detail in the King’s Speech this year about a specific crime, though it promised to ensure an improved police response to cases. According to information published by the Metropolitan Police, spiking offences are currently covered by more than one law, but most come under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861. Sir Keir told the meeting: “There are a number of measures that we are setting out this morning – we want to talk it through with you. “The first is to make spiking a specific offence so that it counts, it’s reported.” He said that such a measure would mean that it “enables everybody to have the confidence to come forward” and also “it allows perpetrators to know that it’s a specific offence”. Detailing the training scheme, he went on: “We’re beginning the piloting of training for staff in venues.” He said the scheme would be “partly to spot what’s happening, but also to know what to do in the event that there is an incident in a venue”. “That will start in December with a pilot then it will be rolled out from March of next year,” Sir Keir added. He also said that the “final” point of discussion for the morning was “police indexing – (the) way that we count it across different police forces”. Sir Keir added: “At the moment it’s quite hard to get your arms around the pure numbers.” Plain clothes officers are being deployed in areas around bars and clubs to spot predatory behaviour. The text-to-report number, 61016, that allows women to contact British Transport Police to report harassment on the train, is due to be relaunched. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: “Spiking is a disturbing and serious crime which can have a damaging and long-lasting impact on victims. “That’s why today we are taking decisive action to prevent this devastating crime and to crack down on perpetrators, by introducing a new criminal offence for spiking and launching specialist training for thousands of bar staff nationwide. “People shouldn’t have to worry about the safety of their drinks on a night out. “These changes are about giving victims greater confidence to come forward, and ensuring that there is a robust response from the police whenever these appalling crimes take place.”
