I’ll be honest: I have never watched Mr. Beast and I probably never will. His whole look-at-this-extreme-thing-I-just-did schtick just isn’t for me. That said, hundreds of millions of people are fans of him. His YouTube series has billions of views and is one of the most watched shows on planet earth. Yet while Beast (whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson) has managed to spawn a global following, he’s also managed to piss off a whole bunch of people. That may be why he recently hired a high-powered lawyer favored by the likes of Elon Musk to defend himself from allegations that he’s a “sociopath.”

Lenovo is taking more design inspiration from Nintendo’s super successful Switch console for its $750 Legion Go. More than half a year after its release, Lenovo decided to drop several new accessories for the handheld that came with a built-in kickstand, including, surprisingly enough, a dock.

Paramount Pictures has finally unveiled a new trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which stars action hero darling Keanu Reeves as the fan-favorite Shadow the Hedgehog.

Joining Reeves in the blue blur threequel is Jessica Jones‘ Krysten Ritter, Ted Lasso‘s Cristo Fernández, Lonely Island’s Jorma Taccone, Furiosa‘s Alyla Browne, Harley Quinn‘s James Wolk, and Jane the Virgin‘s Sofia Pernas. Sonic 3 will also see the un-retirement of Jim Carey as Dr. Robotnik; Ben Schwartz will return as the title character.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is in trouble with environmental groups, again, thanks to Ben Affleck’s divorce surfacing a ten-year-old story about a chainsaw and a whale carcass. The story, which appeared in a 2012 Town & Country profile of Kennedy’s daughter Kick, described an incident from Kick’s childhood. When she was six, a dead whale washed up on Squaw Island in Hyannis, Massachusetts. “Bobby—who likes to study animal skulls and skeletons—ran down to the beach with a chainsaw, cut off the whale’s head, and then bungee-corded it to the roof of the family minivan for the five-hour haul back to Mount Kisco, New York,” according to the report.
