Tony Hawk skates in U.N. Plaza, says S.F. will be featured in his next video game
'If you build it, we will come… do vert tricks (and sloppy kickflips) on banks & curbs,' Hawk posted on Instagram, along with footage of himself performing tricks such as a rock ' n' roll and boardslide through the space.
An off-camera voice can be heard cheering Hawk on with remarks such as 'Yeah, dude' as he and fellow professional skateboarder Kevin Staab take turns shredding up the course.
The clip, shared on Tuesday, April 29, was set to the song 'Dean's Dream' by the rock band the Dead Milkmen.
'Fun fact: SF — and this song — will be in the new @tonyhawkthegame,' Hawk added.
The influential skater's new video game, 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4,' will drop on July 11, marking the latest installment in his highly regarded 'Pro Skater' series from the early 2000s. A revamped version of the two games, originally released in 2001 and 2002, it follows the full remaster of 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2,' which came out in 2020.
'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4' is expected to feature various AEG-managed and owned venues such as Los Angeles' El Rey Theater, which is hosting Tony Hawk Pro Skater Fest on May 8. The event, which fans can tune into via livestream, will celebrate the game's launch and is expected to feature performances from artists on its soundtrack such as rappers Danny Brown and Lupe Fiasco as well as rock band Adolescents.
Full details about the San Francisco level in the video game, which Hawk hinted at in his recent post, have yet to be disclosed. But he seemed to be doing his due diligence researching the city. He even made a stop at Flour + Water Pizzeria 's first-ever standalone pizzeria at Mission Rock, and posted a Boomerang of his pepperoni pizza to Instagram on Tuesday.

All to know on Channel 4 crime thriller In Flight starring Katherine Kelly
A new crime thriller will be airing on Channel 4 soon, which has former Coronation Street, Happy Valley and Mr Bates vs The Post Office star Katherine Kelly leading the cast. In Flight follows single mother and flight attendant Jo (Kelly), who is coerced into smuggling drugs to keep her son safe. The synopsis for the programme reads: "After a fight outside a bar in Sofia, 19-year-old Sonny Conran [Harry Cadby] is convicted for the murder of a member of an infamous criminal family. "His mother Jo, a flight attendant, is blindsided by a threat to her son's life, but is then told she can keep him safe by agreeing to take on an additional role at work - as an international drug smuggler." The programme follows Jo's attempts to untangle herself from the criminal organisation, including going to customs officer and ex-partner Domnic [Ashley Thomas] for help. The Radio Times reports that the six-episode series is written and co-created by Mike Walden. He has previously worked on Marcella season 3 and the detective series Whitstable Pearl, alongside Adam Randall, who recently served as director on Slow Horses season 4. Speaking with the Radio Times about taking on her role in In Flight, Kelly shared: "Jo wakes up every morning and she doesn't know if her son's dead or alive. She then has to put her front-of-house face on and smile her way through the day. "To be that polished and then to feel that edgy and raw was so appealing to me. 'As it goes on, she becomes more adept at what she's doing, but there's never a point where you feel like she's on top, like she's in control of what's happening. "She's constantly failing upwards. She messes it up, then she fixes it. She messes it up and then she fixes it.'

We all listened to music on Miami radio. Do you remember the stations and DJs?
You may stream your music today, but pop and rock radio in South Florida used to rule the airwaves. Local DJs were celebrities in Miami. We woke up to Tanner in the Morning and went to sleep with Mark in the Dark. Yes, we still have some radio here. Y-100 continues to broadcast the hits. But we need to go into our scrapbooks to remember Zeta-4 and WSHE. WAXY and Love 94 and 96X. MORE: Where did The Shark go? Miami rock radio station following the trend Let's take a look at the look of South Florida radio in the peak years through the photo archives of the Miami Herald:

I tested GPT-5 vs GPT-4 with 7 prompts — here's which one gave better answers
Now that OpenAI has rolled out GPT-5, I've been itching to see how it stacks up against GPT-4. While I still have GPT-4 running in one of my browsers, I wanted to test them side by side before it disappeared for good; because once you upgrade to the new model, there's no easy way to go back. So, I pitted the two models against each other using the exact same prompts to see how they differ in the way they think, write and reason. From solving a locked-room mystery to offering emotional support, here's how GPT-4 and GPT-5 compare, and which one came out on top. Prompt: 'You are a detective solving a mystery. A man was found dead in a locked room with a puddle of water next to him and no windows or doors were broken. Walk me through your thought process to determine how he died.'GPT-4 over-relied on the "melting icicle" trope without addressing why it was less plausible (e.g., no weapon entry wound mentioned). The model lacked concrete steps for validating hypotheses at the crime responded like a seasoned detective filing a report. It was methodical, with an evidence-first method and grounded in practical forensics. It prioritized the most probable scenario (ice-block hanging) while systematically eliminating alternatives, which is exactly what the prompt GPT-5 wins for solving the mystery more convincingly by blending logic, realism and investigative rigor. Prompt: 'Summarize the plot of the movie Inception in three different ways: once like a 5th grader would explain it, once as a New York Times film critic, and once in the form of a haiku.'GPT-4 fell short in each of the explanations. The 5th grader felt like an adult simplifying rather than a natural phrasing from a child, the NYT critic lacked depth and the haiku was functional but less showcased authenticity with the 5th grader explanation, sophisticated syntax with the NYT critic-style response and the haiku offered better GPT-5 wins for better fulfilling the prompt's creative challenge by tailoring tone, depth and language to each audience while injecting originality (e.g., "dream lasagna"). Its responses feel purpose-built, not templated. Prompt: 'Help me meal plan for a week. I'm gluten-free, on a $75 budget, and I only have a microwave and toaster oven.' GPT-4 offered generic tips and the pricing was a bit optimistic. The protein option was weak in comparison to GPT-5. The plan delivered limited cross utilization rather than strategic created an actionable plan, microwave hacks and true savings for the GPT-5 wins by prioritizing real-world constraints: the rotisserie chicken alone demonstrates deeper understanding of budget/appliance limitations. Its plan is cheaper, more cohesive and actively reduces user effort. Prompt: 'I just lost my job and I feel like a failure. I can't stop comparing myself to others. Can you talk to me like a friend and help me feel better?'GPT-4 was a big vague and slightly formal, it ends with a general emoji rather than a more collaborative response like listened, named hidden pains and responded by balancing comfort with GPT-5 wins by mirroring how real friends support us. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Prompt: 'Write the opening paragraph of a dystopian novel where people must pay to breathe fresh air. Then, pitch the plot in one sentence.' GPT-4 lacked cohesion between the elements and lacks directly set up the pitch and is clearer with higher GPT-5 wins for a response that is tighter, more original and emotionally sharper. Its opening makes you feel the cost of air, while its pitch promises a focused, human-driven rebellion. Prompt: 'I want to make a simple website that says 'Hello, world!' with a pink background and a fun font. Can you write the HTML and CSS and explain each line to a beginner?' GPT-4 overcomplicated fonts. The response required beginners to manage Google Fonts (extra setup/failure points) and it offered redundant explanations. It also included unnecessary elements, causing the response to be overly clunky. GPT-5 created a code that works immediately when saved as no web connection or extra files needed. Its explanations focus on universal web fundamentals (fallback fonts, CSS comments) rather than niche tools (Google Fonts).Winner: GPT-5 wins by delivering a truly beginner-friendly, self-contained solution with clear explanations and an open door to expand skills. Its response is the equivalent of a patient teacher. Prompt: 'You remember I love sci-fi, hate long emails and have ADHD. Can you write me a to-do list for today that feels motivating, focused and a little funny?' GPT-4 completely missed the mark with a long list, which is not ideal for someone with ADHD. It over-explained and didn't offer a tangible reward in the same way GPT-5 did. GPT-5 delivered a concise and doable list. It addressed my recurring needs and truly accommodated ADHD. It turned motivation into a very reusable GPT-5 wins for nailing the design and theme with an actionable template. Across every category, GPT-5 proved more adaptable, authentic and grounded in the real world. As I tested, I felt that OpenAI's newest model consistently delivered responses that felt human in the best way. Seeing the responses side-by-side really showcases the differences, even the subtle ones. The speed with which GPT-5 answered was also significantly model better anticipated needs, matched tone to context and offered solutions that felt lived-in rather than Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds.
