A recent feature examined how Games Workshop scaled the Warhammer hobby into a multibillion-pound business, highlighting rising revenues and a market valuation in the multibillion-pound range. For anyone who paints, plays or sells models, those choices explain much of what players see on the shop floor today. Vertical integration means Games Workshop controls product flow from concept to shelf. That tension matters for tournament organisers, independent retailers and community stores that rely on regular product cycles, strong tournament support and clear stock flows. For players and collectors that means more eyes on the hobby, more media tie-ins and likely more volatility around releases and pricing.

But it’s not really because anyone in the music industry has exuded any sort of leadership on the matter. Just over the last week of casually perusing the internet, Saving Country Music came across new AI-generated fake songs from Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton. Then going down a rabbit hole, a whole gaggle of fake Miranda Lambert songs from the same account were discovered. About a dozen fake AI Chris Stapleton songs were found, all that were around 8 minutes long. Now the internet is primarily where AI lives in consumer-grade interfaces to make fake songs from real artists to dupe morons.

You mean it wasn't an intense burning one from the start? on 18:42 - Jan 18 by DanTheManYou'd assume so but I doubt Infantino gives a crap. It's impressive to go from a crook who at least liked football to someone who seems like an even bigger crook who doesn't. Blatter seems well intentioned in comparison!

ACTIVISTS and political leaders hit out today at the threat by US President Donald Trump that eight countries will face 10 per cent trade tariffs for opposing his plan to take control of Greenland. Along with other European leaders, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer slammed Donald Trump’s plan to slap tariffs on several Nato allies unless they agree to the US taking over Greenland from Denmark. She said the Prime Minister planned to speak to Mr Trump at the “earliest opportunity” but could not say if that would be at Davos in the coming week. Tory leader Kemi Badenoch said Mr Trump was “completely wrong” to impose tariffs over Greenland, adding they would be a “burden for businesses across our country.”Reform leader Nigel Farage said the tariffs would “hurt” Britain, and Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said Mr Trump was “punishing” Britain. “This is important for the whole world,” Danish protester Elise Riechie said as she held Danish and Greenlandic flags in Copenhagen.

Iran’s president, Masoud Pezeshkian, warned on Sunday that any attack on the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would be a declaration of war. On Wednesday the US came close to launching military strikes on Iran but ultimately pulled back as Trump opted to pause amid mounting regional and diplomatic pressure. “However, I am worried because I received news that he has been tortured under custody and hasn’t received medical attention yet. During a speech on Thursday, Khamenei acknowledged for the first time that thousands of people had been killed, “some in an inhuman, savage manner”. No protests have been reported for days in Iran, where the streets have returned to an uneasy calm.

‌The U-turn from NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde led to calls for Scottish Government ministers who took part in the “cover-up” to face a corporate homicide inquiry. ‌The dramatic admission came in documents submitted to the public inquiry into the design and construction of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) campus. ‌At least 84 children fell ill with infections and two died, including 10-year-old Milly Main, who was being treated for leukaemia in the Royal Hospital for Children. Health chiefs also conceded they mistreated the whistleblowers they had previously criti­cised for raising concerns about the hospital campus - and issued an ‘unreserved’ apology. “Every step of the way they have been supported by SNP ministers, who never stopped lying to hide the truth of their failure.

Hundreds of counterprotesters on Saturday drowned out a far-right activist’s attempt to hold a small rally in support of the Trump administration’s latest immigration crackdown in Minneapolis. During the daily protests, demonstrators have railed against masked immigration officers pulling people from homes and cars and other aggressive tactics. After his recent arrest, a judge ruled that federal officials did not give him enough notice that his supervision status had been revoked. Then Gibson was taken back into custody for several hours on Friday when he made a routine check-in with immigration officials. Gibson’s cousin Abena Abraham said ICE officials told her White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller ordered the second arrest.

ICE detentions are notorious for their inhumane conditions; 32 people died in ICE custody in 2025 alone, matching a record set two decades prior in 2004. Mandated with targeting 100% of people who are “deportable”, the agency has long been unfettered by the (already limited) regulations placed on police or prisons in the criminal legal system. People in ICE detention are not entitled to a lawyer or the due process protections afforded to people within the criminal legal system. Yet Democratic leadership has refused to back the call to defund ICE, with thinktanks suggesting “abolish ICE” goes too far. We need to move away from a system predicated on violence in favor of one that centers people’s humanity.

But doctors inside Iran have painted a far darker picture, according to a new medical report seen by The Times.

Attendees can then be heard chanting: 'Death to America, death to America, death to America'. 'Death to America, death to England, death to traitors, death to Israel,' attendees chanted back.
