Funny Honest Trailer For Disney's Live-Action SNOW WHITE — GeekTyrant
The gang at Screen Junkies has released a new Honest Trailer and this one hilariously pokes fun at Disney's awful live-action adaptation of Snow White , which, as you know, ended up bombing big time at the box office. The latest Honest Trailer pulls zero punches as it completely tears into Snow White, and the video came with the following note: 'The film that united the internet by making everyone mad for completely different reasons. So hold out your slop bucket, cause Disney is dishing out another soulless CGI-fueled nostalgia pile that literally no one asked for (but we all have strong opinions about regardless). Isn't cinema grand?' Enjoy the show!

Deena.G, a 22-year-old transman, has completed a training course on baking. He hopes to set up a small unit of his own in hospitals. 'As a nursing student, I see lot of such units offering a way to satisfy hunger of people at a crucial time. It's satisfying to see something I make bring happiness to others,' he said. Like Deena, 300 others have graduated in various vocational courses offered by Sahodaran, an NGO, CGI, an IT and business consulting firm working to uplift LGBTQIA+ community. They were collecting their certificates at an event in Chennai on Thursday. The skill development programme, which has seen three batches of 300 transpersons graduate, aims to uplift and empower transgender individuals, while also working to break down social stigma and pave the way for societal acceptance in companies. Speaking at an event, Rekha Vijayaraman, HR business partner, CGI said, 'There are two types of courses — long term and short term. The short-term courses include baking, perfume making and driving while long term courses include IT related programming languages such as JAVA and others. There are also plans to offer further training in IT-related fields which would be required for their placement.' Through this course, Sanjana.S, a transwoman, has discovered independence in driving. 'I was able to get my licence and also bought a car. 'When I stop at a tollgate, people ask in awe how I learned. Now, I can go anywhere,' she said. S.

Dutch-style roundabout to keep cyclists safer has three-minute video to explain how it works
A new, Dutch-style roundabout, with its own three-minute video tutorial, is set to open in Hertfordshire next week. The cycle-friendly roundabout, popular in the Netherlands, is currently under construction in Boundary Way, Hemel Hempstead, with the opening slated for 6 June. Ahead of its opening, Hertfordshire County Council have produced an animated video which shows how cars, bicycles and pedestrians should use the new road feature correctly. The project aims to improve safety and connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists whilst easing traffic congestion. But the plan has been criticised for being 'complicated' and 'unnecessary' with some residents raising concerns about the new road layout, specifically when braking whilst exiting the roundabout. The construction of the new roundabout comes as part of a £2.6m investment by Active Travel England - the government's executive agency for promoting walking, wheeling and cycling. At first glance, a Dutch-style roundabout can look baffling to British road users unfamiliar with this new road layout, but the CGI video explains the process simply. The video shows an outer green ring that cyclists are expected to use, surrounded by zebra crossings used by pedestrians. Cyclists are expected to slow down when entering and exiting the roundabout to give way for pedestrians on the zebra crossings before continuing to cycle clockwise (as with any roundabout) on the outer green ring. The video demonstrates how cars and lorries must slow down or come to a stop on entering or exiting the roundabout to let cyclists and pedestrians cross in front of them safely. The advantage of this layout is that cyclists have their own designated area - hopefully making the roundabout safer for those on bikes. Hemel Hempstead is already home of the so-called 'Magic Roundabout', where six roundabouts converge, which is situated around 2.5 miles away from the new Dutch-style roundabout. The council say these roundabouts can help connectivity in the area, making it easier and safer to walk, wheel and cycle. Phil Bibby, Executive Member for Highways and Transport, Hertfordshire County Council, said: 'Our aim is to offer all residents a cleaner, greener, healthier Hertfordshire. 'By increasing access to walking and cycling initiatives, we'll improve health and air quality, as well as helping to reduce traffic congestion.' The UK currently has three Dutch-style roundabouts in operation, with the new Hertfordshire roundabout set to become the fourth. The first opened in Fenton Road, Cambridge in 2020, followed by one in West Bar, Sheffield in December 2024, and the third opened in Westgate, Chichester in February 2025. But Dutch-style roundabouts have been criticised after an uptick in accidents on the Fenton Road roundabout since its installation. Cambridge County Council revealed in 2023 that between 2020 and 2023, there had been ten collisions, eight involving cyclists, on the roundabout compared to six incidents between 2017-2019. In 2022, the UK Government introduced a swathe of changes to road rules surrounding cycling on British roads in an attempt to make British roads safer. The guidance, updated in Highway Code rules 79, 167 and 186, stipulates that drivers must give priority to cyclists in certain situations, for example, on a roundabout. The code was updated to clarify that motorists or motorcyclists should take 'extra care' and give priority to people cycling on roundabouts. It stipulates that people driving and or riding a motorcycle should not attempt to overtake people cycling within that person's lane on a roundabout. The rules state that people cycling, riding a horse and driving a horse-drawn vehicle may stay in the left-hand lane of a roundabout when they intend to continue across or around the roundabout. Motorists should also allow cyclists to move across their path as they travel around a roundabout, for example when preparing to exit. Motorists should also stop and wait for a safe distance between cyclists at roundabouts or during slow-moving traffic, states the code. Other key amendments, which came into effect in January 2022, included clearer guidance for drivers to leave a distance of at least 1.5 metres when overtaking cyclists. The code also clarified that when turning into or out of a side road, cyclists should give way to people walking who are crossing or waiting to cross.
