The GuardianDonald Trump’s “Build the Wall” game is getting blowback from the game maker Tetris. The game, which is a near replica to the iconic falling blocks game, has the player build a structure to “protect the border from the coming horde.” In a post on X, Tetris wrote that: “we take copyright infringement very seriously.” The company added that it was not involved in the creation of the administration’s game and said, “at Tetris we believe in the power of connection and bringing people together, not dividing them”. The White House launched an “arcade” on Thursday, that houses five 80s-style computer games that includes “Build the Wall”. Other games involve…

Nine days after the deadly floods, two workers were pulled out alive from a flooded hydropower tunnel in Nepal. Sanjay Shah and Kabir Maharajan were rescued from the Trishuli 3A hydropower project on Friday, more than a week after a glacial collapse created a torrent of mud, water and debris that swept away buildings, roads and bridges along the border between Nepal and China.

The GuardianAustralians love getting into hot water. About 15% have four or more showers a day, while nearly a third say they shower at least twice daily, a national survey by the Water Conservancy finds. Most people’s showers last five minutes or more, and one in five will spend between 10 and 15 minutes under the mist, sending up to 135 litres of water down the drain in the process. Water heating is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in an average Australian home, and the second largest user of energy. Most hot water use happens in the shower, followed by the bath, laundry and kitchen. Water costs depend on…

The GuardianOn the evening of 1 April 2024, a team of aid workers from World Central Kitchen (WCK) stood on Gaza’s Mediterranean shore overseeing the unloading of a barge full of desperately needed food on a makeshift jetty made of sand and rubble. The Gaza war had been raging for six months and Israel’s closure of land crossings had left the whole territory facing the threat of famine. WCK and local Palestinian contractors had constructed the jetty out of everything they could lay their hands on, including debris from the bombed house of one of the contractors, so that the pallets of humanitarian assistance could be delivered by boat from Cyprus.…

The GuardianWhen Gloria Steinem’s plane touched down in Bombay in 1957, she could not have known that her stay in India would become what she later called a “pivotal, life-dividing event [that] made me who I am”. She was 22, with a degree in government from Smith college and was travelling on a Chester Bowles fellowship. India was “not only a place I’d always wanted to go, but (also) an escape from a very kind and tempting man to whom I was engaged and knew I shouldn’t marry,” Steinem later wrote. The prospect of marrying Blair Chotzinoff, a pilot from a well-connected New York family, depressed her “enormously because marriage meant…

The GuardianChristine Molloy and Joe Lawlor are artists and film-makers from Ireland who have created eerie and suspenseful psychological dramas in parallel with a strand of complex and self-questioning essay movies. They explore ideas about history and identity, ruminating on their creative selves and metatextually examining (or re-examining) their own work. You may call it the “Alfred Hitchcock” and “Chris Marker” sides to their work. Sometimes, their documentaries act as a kind of commentary on the fiction feature they are developing at the same time: like The Future Tense, a film about the ideas encountered during a planned movie about the pro-IRA English heiress Rose Dugdale, a project which came to…

One of rugby league’s most extraordinary streaks has felt as though it was coming to an inevitable end for quite some time but as it transpired, St Helens’ 64-year run of making the playoffs ultimately concluded in a manner that summarises their fall from grace. You have to go back to 1962 to find an end-of-season playoff series that did not include one of rugby league’s true heavyweight clubs.

Better yet, continuing signs that Alexander Isak, last year’s model, is coming back to life, his two, well-taken early goals securing the three points. That Cody Gakpo, Isak’s supplier, might have been at Manchester City or Tottenham had the transfer runes been right, added further to a sense of renewal.

It’s a stereotypical Schrader study of masculinity in some ways, about a man agonising over moral choice and ethical behaviour while – as so often in Schrader’s movies – reading and writing philosophy in an austerely furnished room. And yet there is nothing abstract about the issue he faces here. The film moves with a determined suspenseful tread, everything hangs together right up to the queasy final shot and Schrader flavours everything with a streak of melodrama and even a kind of gaunt black comedy.
