Director Dave Green confirmed that the nearly completed film will not be released shortly after Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter broke the news.Coyote vs. Acme is the third almost finished film that CEO David Zaslav has shelved for financial reasons. Like Batgirl and Scoob! Holiday Haunt, Coyote vs. Acme got sent to the vault so Warner Bros. Discovery could get a tax write-off as part of its efforts to cut billions in costs following last year’s megamerger.

In previous versions of Windows, Microsoft was pretty lenient on allowing you to uninstall the apps that come bundled with the operating system. However, Windows 11 saw a lot of baked-in apps that you could not remove without special tools or methods.

I love it so much.Anyway, I’ve been asking listeners to send in detailed shots of the wiper to confirm a rumor I’ve been hearing — my thanks to the dozens of people who’ve passed along photos. I didn’t have anything worth running until today, though: our own Parker Ortolani spotted a Cybertruck in NYC and took several photos that appear to show that the “single wiper” is actually multiple wiper blades stacked in a row. The idea, I’ve been told, is apparently to make replacements easier — one assumes sourcing... Continue reading…
