Republican Arizona Senate Candidate Kari Lake has flipped her position on the state’s 1864 abortion ban – for a second time, stating that it is “unfortunate” that Arizona is not enforcing the law.
On April 9, the Arizona Supreme Court issued a ruling to reinstate the ban, which resulted in instant position changes among Republicans who previously backed it, including Lake.
The Court overturned a 2022 law that permitted abortions up to 15 weeks, clearing the way for an 1864 ban that forbids the procedure except when needed to save the mother’s life.
The state’s highest Court first heard arguments on the case in December 2023 after the Arizona Court of Appeals determined that the two inconsistent abortion bans needed to be in harmony.
In a 4-2 decision, the justices said that the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the federal law that safeguarded abortion rights until viability, meant that there was no longer...

Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake can’t seem to make up her mind. Does she believe that Arizona’s Civil War-era total ban on abortion is a “great law” and that abortion is “the ultimate sin,” as she said on the campaign trail in 2022? Or does she think that every woman should have “choices” when they get pregnant, as she insisted in a recent campaign video?
In the wake of a state Supreme Court decision re-animating the 1864 law that prohibits abortion at any point in pregnancy for any reason...

On Sunday, Republican candidate for the Arizona U.S. senate seat Kari Lake delivered a fiery speech to her supporters in Lake Havasu City. In it, she urged them to prepare for the upcoming 2024 campaign – and “strap on a Glock.”
She addressed the crowd of Arizonans in Mohave County, “We need to send people to Washington, D.C., that the swamp does not want there… And I can think of a couple of people they don’t want there. First on that list is Donald J. Trump; second is Kari Lake.”
Lake highlighted her alignment with Donald Trump, stating she shares his desire to confront the forces that seek to “undermine the American people.” In recognition of the potential backlash she may face, Lake warned her supporters of the challenges that lie ahead in the next six months due to the intense nature of the campaign.

The Justice Department charged 20 people with threatening election workers throughout the United States through its Elections Threats Task Force.
This task force was formed in June 2021 in response to increasing reports of intimidation and threats to election workers following the 2020 election. Former President Donald Trump and his allies argued, without evidence, there was widespread fraud during this election.
In addition to the task force’s work leading to these charges, they opened dozens of investigations into other instances since their launch.
During a press conference in Arizona to lay out the sentence for the Ohio resident Joshua Russell for making death threats to an official working in the Arizona secretary of state’s office, Justice Department official John Keller told reporters that 13 of the 20 people charged were convicted.
Seven individuals were given sentences between one and a half to three and a half years in prison, which, Keller mentioned, shows...

On Tuesday, the Arizona Supreme Court issued a ruling to reinstate a 160-year-old abortion ban, which resulted in immediate changes in stance among Republicans who had previously supported it, such as Senate candidate Kari Lake.
The Court overturned a 2022 law that permitted abortions up to 15 weeks, clearing the way for an 1864 ban that essentially prohibits the procedure except when necessary to save the life of the mother.
The state’s highest Court initially heard arguments on the case in December after the Arizona Court of Appeals determined that the two contradictory abortion bans needed to be “harmonized.”
In a 4-2 decision, the justices stated that the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the federal law safeguarding abortion rights until viability, meant that there was no legal barrier to enforcing the decades-old ban. The Court ruled that the law could be implemented within 14 days, and the parties involved were allowed to raise...

Comedian Roseanne Barr was attacked on social media for ranting about Democratic donors at a GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake’s Arizona campaign fundraiser.
Barr’s rant took place at Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald Trump’s property in Florida, where she served as a “special guest comedian” for the event.
Barr released a statement ahead of the event.
“On my way to Mar-a-Lago to help support the great @KariLake,” she wrote on X. “We must try to vote our way out of this for at least one last year…. and then if that doesn’t work #1776.”
The reference to 1776 caused some critics to claim that she was inciting violence.
A video of her at the event made it to X, showing her telling American college students that they should drop out.
“How’re you doing?” the comedian said while slurring her words and holding a glass of white wine in her hands.

Attorneys representing Arizona Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake will not contest the defamation case filed against her.
The lawsuit, initiated by Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer last year, accuses Lake defamed him after her defeat in the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial race, where she refused to concede and made allegations of election fraud.
The lawsuit alleges that Lake engaged in a systematic campaign to spread falsehoods about Richer’s actions as recorder, which led to harassment and numerous threats to his life. Among the unfounded claims made by Lake were accusations that Richer tampered with ballot boxes, injected 300,000 invalid votes and deliberately obfuscated the voting process.
In a recent court filing, Lake’s legal team did not contest the allegations put forth by Richer and instead requested an expedited hearing to determine the appropriate damages.
Richer viewed this development as an admission of guilt. In response, Lake dismissed the filing as a...

In a photo posted to Instagram, former talk show host and actress Ricki Lake showed off her impressive 30-pound drop. Lake is down from 165 lbs to 135 lbs.
After seeing this, there was much speculation among fans that Lake’s major weight loss was due to Ozempic, however, the actress put those rumors to rest quickly.
Ozempic is a drug typically used to treat type 2 diabetes but has been growing in popularity due to its aid in weight loss.
Lake was proud of herself and her husband for dropping the weight and was applauding their good work with an honorary Instagram post.
The caption of an Instagram carousel read, “Hi friends. I’ve been wanting to share with you what I’ve been up to these last four months. On October 26th, 2023 I made a commitment to myself to get healthier. My husband, Ross, joined me in this effort. Together we have each lost 30+ lbs.

Despite integrating the idea of live-action clips into Alan Wake 2, Remedy Entertainment’s Sam Lake still has no plans to create a live-action TV series or movie. Alan Wake 2 is indeed one of the best survival horror video games of all time. That was proved beyond doubt at the 2023 Game Awards, when the game took home several awards, including Best Game Direction Award.
A still from Alan Wake 2
Alan Wake 2‘s perfect transition from live-action cutscenes to actual gameplay is one of the main reasons behind the game’s success but Remedy has been experimenting with this idea since 2019’s Control. Despite the perfect execution, Lake believes that they want to focus on improving the game rather than working on a series or movie.

After Arizona GOP Chairman Jeff DeWitt stepped down after an audio recording of him attempting to bribe GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake was leaked online, the state Republican party is in chaos.
In the audio, DeWit told Lake that he was asked by incredibly powerful people from “back east” whether their companies could put her on their payroll and prevent her from running for GOP Senate this year.
“Is there a number at which… ” DeWit asked her.
“I can be bought,” Lake interrupted.
“Not be bought,” the former Arizona GOP chairman replied.
“That’s what it’s about,” Lake then stated.
“You can take a pause for a couple of years,” DeWit told her.
“No,” she responded.
“Then go right back to what you’re doing,” DeWit continued.
“Mmm-mm.” she stated. “No.”
“$10 million, $20 million, $30, no, $1 billion, no,” Lake added. “This is not about money, this is about our country.”

Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake recently headlined a campaign fundraiser hosted by Caryn Borland and Michael Borland, two supporters of the far-right political conspiracy theory QAnon.
On February 2, Lake attended this fundraiser with Caryn and Michael, which was held at their mansion in Prescott, Arizona.
Lake has been a supporter of Donald Trump‘s third presidential bid. She campaigned for him in Iowa before the caucuses took place. Some pundits even saw her as a potential vice president choice for Trump.
She launched her Arizona Senate bid in October 2023 but ended the year with a relatively small amount of money in the bank.
Lake raised $2 million in the roughly 11 weeks after having entered the race, but she immediately spent almost half that amount, meaning that she started 2024 with a little more than $1 million in the bank, as well as $308,000 in debt.
These numbers are low for a frontrunner in a major Senate race,...

Elise Stefanik, who many view as a top contender to be Donald Trump’s 2024 pick as vice president, says she would not have certified Joe Biden’s election if she, not Mike Pence, were VP at the time.
“I would not have done what Mike Pence did,” the GOP conference chair told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Thursday night when asked what she would have done as vice president on Jan. 6, 2021, when thousands of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol as Pence was presiding over the certification of the Electoral College votes.

Revolving around two things many of us know all too well, neighbours from hell and writer’s block, Destroy All Neighbors is an over-the-top exercise in splatstick from director Josh Forbes and writers Mike Benner, Jared Logan and Charles A. Pieper.
William Brown makes his living as a sound engineer at Industrial Sound & Magic, helping to bring other people’s music to life. Currently, it’s the obnoxious Caleb Bang Jansen, “Emerson, Lake and Palmer? It sounds like Emerson getting buttfucked by Lake and Palmer.”
But when it comes to his own Prog Rock album, he’s stuck in a rut. While his girlfriend Emily believes in him, everyone else around him seems to exist only to stifle his efforts.

In a recent ruling by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Jay Adleman, Kari Lake, an unsuccessful Republican candidate for governor, has been tasked with substantiating the allegations she made against Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer in order to avoid being found guilty of defamation.
Judge Adleman emphasized that the claims Lake made that accused Richer of election sabotage were not mere rhetorical hyperbole, as argued by her lawyers.
Instead, he stated that these assertions could be considered as either true or false and thus fall under the category of actionable assertions of fact under Arizona law. Consequently, Lake is now obligated to present evidence in court supporting her accusations.
Adleman noted that Richer’s legal team has presented sufficient allegations to establish a potential case of “actual malice” against Lake, her campaign, and the Save Arizona Fund, which has been used to raise funds.

Those looking to jump back in to Alan Wake 2 to experience the New Game Plus mode can do so today. Announced during The Game Awards 2023, the New Game Plus mode, referred to as “The Final Draft”, allows players to not play Alan Wake 2 with all of their weapons, charms and player upgrades, but also introduces a new difficulty mode and a new ending.
“From the beginning, our plan was to create a New Game Plus mode for Alan Wake 2 as an essential part of the experience,” explains Remedy Creative Director Sam Lake via PlayStation Blog. “When we started working on the game and the story, the idea was always there. It made sense on multiple levels. We were creating a dense experience. It felt that there was enough to support multiple playthroughs for all the aspects of the story to sink in, and for all the collectibles to be found and pieced together.

Since the decline (and apparent death) of E3, The Game Awards have become gaming’s biggest yearly event. While that’s partially due to the major reveals and announcements that have quickly come to define the modern era of the show, The Game Awards are obviously still about honoring the best games and creators of the year. So far as that goes, The Game Awards jury certainly has their work cut out for them this year.
After all, 2023 has been one of the best years in gaming history in terms of the sheer number of quality titles that have been released thus far. Not only have we been treated to a surprisingly high number of modern masterpieces this year, but those games cover such a surprising amount of ground in terms of their genres, style, and accomplishments.

2010’s Alan Wake ends on a cliffhanger. After diving deep into Cauldron Lake to save his wife, Alice, from the Dark Presence that has consumed the town of Bright Falls, Washington, writer Alan Wake realizes something incredible. The power of a realm known as the Dark Place allows him to drastically alter his own reality using only his written words. So great is his ability to do so that he is even able to rescue both his wife and the town of Bright Falls simply by working away at his typewriter.
However, even Wake’s newfound powers have limitations. Despite his best efforts, Wake doesn’t seem to be able to free himself from the Dark Place. Instead, he elects to remain at the bottom of Cauldron Lake where he works on a seemingly neverending story designed to keep the forces of darkness at bay. Right before the credits roll,...

Exclusive: Following the conclusion of the WGA strike, which has sent writers scrambling to either dive back into work or look for new opportunities, Roadmap Writers has reopened its free Support Staff Initiative, which helps get scripts from emerging talents in front of execs and literary reps.
The idea, per the initiative’s co-founder Joey Tuccio, is to allow up-and-comers working in television to focus on “their job and/or job hunt,” while Roadmap works to help elevate their careers, hopefully making the transition out of a historic work stoppage just a little bit easier.
Writers looking to apply for the program needn’t currently be working within a writers’ room — all that’s required to be eligible is experience working in a support staff role within the past 18 months. The door is open to writers’ room support staffers of all kinds, including writers assistants, showrunner assistants, Pa’s, script coordinators,...

The one major political figure who spent more time than any other in the GOP debate Spin Room wasn’t even a Republican: California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Speaking for Joe Biden’s re-election campaign, Newsom sparred with Sean Hannity on Fox News’ Hannity, spoke with CNN’s Dana Bash and chatted with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. He answered questions about his own presidential ambitions, defended the state of California, praised the recent WGA-amptp agreement and even weighed in the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift situation. “It was the XFL, the Jv team,” Newsom said of the seven candidates who participated in the event.
Some of the actual candidates who appeared onstage did venture into the spin room for lengthy periods, including Vivek Ramaswamy, Tim Scott, Mike Pence and Doug Burghum, but Newsom also did a pre-debate round of Spin Room interviews to a swarm of reporters and camera crews.

IGN continues to drop more Alan Wake 2 clips, with the latest 5-minute gameplay footage seeing Alan Wake meeting up with an old friend.
The clip sees takes place in The Dark Place, a nightmare version of New York, where Alan is currently trapped. He’s not alone, as Alan finds a familiar face in the jacket-wearing, paisley tie-sporting detective Alex Casey, the hero from Wake’s successful crime book series.
Despite being voiced by James McCaffrey and sharing the likeness of Remedy Entertainment’s Creative Director Sam Lake, Alex Casey is not Max Payne (though Max will be getting a revival soon). According to Lake, this version of Casey is “more over-the-top hardboiled” than before. Lake notes that this version of Casey is drawing from the same inspirations and his love for noir as Max Payne did, right down to an outfit “reminiscent of Brad Pitt’s character in the neo-noir film,...

We might not be seeing many casting announcements for a while, as the Screen Actors Guild has joined the Writers Guild on strike – but right before the strike began, it was announced (via Deadline) that child actor Alix West Lefler had joined the cast of the psychological thriller Speak No Evil, which Universal Pictures will be giving a theatrical release on August 9, 2024. Filming on Speak No Evil began in late May and has been taking place in Croatia and the UK, but it’s not clear whether or not production wrapped before the strike began.

Developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Microsoft Game Studios, the video game Alan Wake begins with the narrator quoting a line that was written by Stephen King – and during an interview with Eurogamer, Remedy boss Sam Lake revealed that King only charged them $1 to use that line.
In case you’re not familiar with Alan Wake (as I wasn’t before seeing the article on the Eurogamer website), Eurogamer provides the information: Alan Wake begins with a sequence where we see the title character driving through the lonely countryside, over which we hear him deliver the following lines: “Stephen King once wrote that ‘Nightmares exist outside of logic, and there’s little fun to be had in explanations; they’re antithetical to the poetry of fear.’ In a horror story, the victim keeps asking ‘Why?’ But there can be no explanation, and there shouldn’t be one.

Stephen King‘s a pretty cool guy, if you didn’t know. Not only has the master author set up a program to allow students to use the rights to his novels for just a dollar, but Stephen King had also done the same dollar deal with Remedy Entertainment and Alan Wake.
Speaking to Eurogamer, Remedy’s Sam Lake recently revealed he had “really, really, desperately wanted” to be able to open Alan Wake with a quote from King himself. After all, there were so many references to the famed Maine author in the game, so why not go the extra mile?
Of course, Remedy did get that quote from King, and according to Lake, the developer just had to pay a dollar in order to use it. “It’s my understanding he wanted $1 for us to get the rights to use it. [It was] so very generous.”
