We’re gonna go ahead and assume none of our readers are the type of people who would forget that actors are, well, actors, but if you’re missing a few brain cells and need a reminder, here it is: stop!

Joffrey Baratheon) out of the industry, then they came for Lena Headey, then they came for Fabien Frankel from House Of The Dragon, and now they’re coming for Kaitlyn Dever, who plays divisive new character Abby in the upcoming second season of The Last Of Us.

It’s only a few weeks until we return to Middle-earth in Rings of Power season 2, and it seems like basically no one’s going to be having a good time. That’s whether they’re elves, having their kingdoms torn apart by an invading horde of evil; dwarves, having their kingdoms torn apart by balrogs; or Númenóreans, having their kingdoms torn apart by… political machinations, which is a lot less destructive, but we all know what’s going to happen there eventually is just as bad as the others. But you know what they say about dark times? They call for desperate measures, and in this latest trailer for the season, it sure looks like we’re getting some very desperate measures.

Thousands of schloofing sharks were spotted in an underwater sleepover party off the coast of Australia. The shiver consisted of Port Jackson sharks, a species that inhabits Australia’s southern coastal waters. The sharks are known for their somewhat bizarre appearance, with two prominent ridges running from their blunt noses to the backs of their heads. The sharks, which can grow up to 5.5 feet (1.6 meters) in length, are nocturnal and spend their nights hunting for squid, octopuses, and crustaceans. Unlike many other shark species, Port Jackson sharks are not considered a threatened or endangered species.
