News The Devil in Silver Victor LaValle’s The Devil In Silver to Be Adapted for The Terror Anthology Series With adaptation rights picked up back in 2022‚ the move to bring The Devil in Silver to screen is all coming together. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on February 6‚ 2024 icon-comment 0 Share New Share Twitter Facebook Pinterest RSS Feed AMC’s horror anthology series‚ The Terror‚ is coming back for a third season‚ and the network announced during their panel at the Television Critics Association’s winter tour that the show will be adapting Victor LaValle’s book‚ The Devil in Silver. While we heard about the potential for an adaptation way back in 2022‚ it looks like the project is finally officially greenlit. “The Terror anthology series has already delivered to fans two unforgettable seasons of storytelling that blend real-world events and characters with a terrifying and mysterious supernatural element‚” Dan McDermott‚ president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks‚ said in a statement. “The Devil in Silver offers a perfect opportunity for a new installment of this popular and critically acclaimed anthology. We are looking forward to once again working with Chris Cantwell‚ who we partnered with so successfully on Halt and Catch Fire‚ Victor LaValle‚ Karyn Kusama and this great producing team to share our version of Victor’s heralded and disturbing novel.” As McDermott states‚ Cantwell is on board to write and co-showrun with LaValle. Here’s the synopsis for the show that AMC put out: The Terror: Devil in Silver tells the story of Pepper—a working class moving man‚ who through a combination of bad luck and a bad temper‚ finds himself wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital—an institution filled with the people society would rather forget. There‚ he must contend with patients who work against him‚ doctors who harbor grim secrets‚ and perhaps even the very Devil himself. As Pepper navigates a hellscape where nothing is as it seems‚ he finds that the only path to freedom is to face down the entity which thrives on the suffering within New Hyde’s walls—but doing so may prove that the worst demons of all live inside him. “Devil in Silver is a horror story based on all I’ve seen and also a love letter to the resilience of the human spirit‚” LaValle said in a statement. “I feel so lucky that Christopher Cantwell agreed to help me tell this story. His gifts for empathy‚ humor and tragedy have only enriched this tale of ours. Plus‚ when we get together‚ we come up with some pretty twisted thrills. AMC is the perfect home for our show and they’ve been such enthusiastic partners in its development.”  The horror adaptation is still in its early days‚ so no news yet on when the show will premiere on AMC‚ much less who will star. With the talent already behind it‚ however‚ odds are good it will be terrifying and well worth a watch.

Perfecting your build is the main endgame goal in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League‚ and that process can be a hassle if you’re chasing a specific drop with the right stats. Target farming for certain gear can make the process much easier‚ but not everything is obtainable this way. How Does Target Farming Work in Suicide Squad KTJL? Screenshot: PC Invasion Once you reach the endgame of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League‚ you can start earning Infamy sets themed around DC villains. The Infamy set in Season Zero is themed around Bane‚ for example‚ while Season One’s Infamy sets will be themed around Joker‚ Scarecrow‚ and Two-Face. Infamy sets grant up to three unique perks as you equip more of them‚ and they’re only obtainable from the game’s hardest content. Infamy sets are earned by completing Incursions‚ endgame missions that require a special currency called Promethium to start. Different Incursions have different gear associated with them...

Like any survival building game‚ Palworld has had its share of duplication glitches. I am usually super skeptical of such things‚ but after numerous attempts‚ I can incredulously say that this one really works‚ and has a decent success rate‚ too. The Building Duplication Glitch in Palworld This duplication glitch for Palworld revolves around the resources used for building. So you’ll need the initial resources for whatever building you’re going to duplicate them from. Although this does mean it has a start-up cost‚ it can be done infinitely and it allows you to duplicate the resources you need the most‚ such as Ingots‚ High Quality Pal Oil‚ all the way up to Pal Metal. You’re going to want to choose a structure that requires resources you want to duplicate. I went with the Weapons Assembly Line as it requires 100 Ingots‚ something I always sorely need. I also had one lying around already‚ so I disassembled it to get all the resources back so I don’t nee...

To unlock all the skins‚ cosmetics‚ all-important COD points‚ and other goodies‚ you need to complete the whole thing and fast. Use XP boosts You’ve been collecting the damn things for years‚ and they just sit there in your inventory collecting dust.

Rep. Gerry Connolly‚ D-Va.‚ opposed a bill on Tuesday condemning the persecution of Christians in Nigeria because it failed to also include the LGBTQ population. The House Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday performed markups on a bill condemning violations of religious freedoms in Nigeria‚ including the ongoing persecution and murder of Christians. Connolly‚ a member of the committee‚ said he didn’t favor the bill in its current form because it failed to encompass a broader condemnation of all persecution in Nigeria‚ including against “the gay and lesbian community.” “Congress can’t simply say‚ ‘We’re only concerned about Christian persecution.’ We’re concerned about anyone’s human rights being violated‚” Connolly said during the committee markup session on Tuesday. “And by the way‚ that includes the gay and lesbian community‚ which has suffered in Nigeria‚ among other African countries‚ [and] even at the hands of religious leaders‚ who have called for the death penalty because of somebody’s sexual orientation.” Republicans in the House Foreign Affairs Committee are trying to pass a resolution declaring Nigeria a "country of particular concern" due to massacres against Christians:Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) says he opposes it because it doesn't mention gay people."Congress can't… pic.twitter.com/g3UELkDNge— Greg Price (@greg_price11) February 6‚ 2024 “If we’re going to express ourselves with respect—as we should—it ought to be a comprehensive statement‚ not a particular group we single out‚ and basically say‚ ‘That’s the one we’re concerned about‚’” Connolly said. Rep. Scott Perry‚ R-Pa.‚ later said the bill aims to distinctly condemn the violation of religious freedoms in Nigeria and accused unspecified colleagues of trying to “muddy the water” with irrelevant points. Connolly responded that he considered that a “smear” and explained his personal history with Catholicism. Islamic militants and vandals terrorize and persecute Christians in Nigeria‚ and more “believers are killed for their faith” in the country every year than anywhere else in the world‚ according to Open Doors International. The Biden administration canceled a grant providing aid to persecuted Christians in Nigeria in 2021‚ according to The Heritage Foundation. House Resolution 82‚ the bill being marked-up by the committee on Tuesday‚ would order the Biden administration to address Nigeria as a “particular country of concern” for violating religious freedoms. Same-sex activity has been criminalized in Nigeria since 2023 and is considered a jailable and punishable offense‚ according to Human Dignity Trust. There have been several reports of violence and harassment against LBGTQ-identifying people in Nigeria‚ and other reports indicate that some have been murdered. Connolly did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Originally published by the Daily Caller News Foundation Have an opinion about this article?

Then-candidate Joe Biden sold America a bill of goods in 2020. He said he was running for president to “restore the soul of America‚” and promised “unity over division‚” but his administration has arguably been one of the most divisive in U.S. history. 1. Policy Whiplash While Biden wrongly suggested Trump’s presidency represented an aberration from what America stands for‚ Biden himself has not governed as a “return to normalcy” president. On the contrary‚ he has given the United States a form of political whiplash. From his first days in office‚ Biden rushed to reverse nearly every move his predecessor made. Trump designated the Houthis in Yemen a terrorist group; Biden reversed that decision (before hastily re-designating them so last month). Trump had instituted immigration policies like “Remain in Mexico” and negotiated safe third-country deals with Central American nations; Biden tore those up. Trump signed an executive order requiring federal agencies to speed up the process of correcting‚ disciplining or firing employees who underperform‚ but Biden rescinded it. 2. An Aggressive Social Agenda If President Barack Obama exacerbated the culture war‚ Biden has hypercharged it. After the May 2022 leak of the Supreme Court’s draft opinion overturning the 1973 abortion precedent Roe v. Wade‚ pro-abortion vandals targeted at least 88 pro-life pregnancy centers and 228 Catholic churches‚ according to CatholicVote. These attacks involved threatening messages such as “If Roe isn’t safe‚ neither are you.” The Department of Justice failed to prosecute most of these cases. Meanwhile‚ however‚ the FBI arrested pro-life activist Mark Houck‚ charging him with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act for allegedly pushing a pro-abortion activist outside an abortion clinic. A jury ultimately acquitted Houck‚ but that doesn’t minimize the ordeal he went through. The DOJ under Biden has charged at least 26 pro-life protesters for violating the FACE Act. Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta admitted in December 2022 that the June overturning of Roe increased “the urgency” of the DOJ’s work‚ including the “enforcement of the FACE Act‚ to ensure continued lawful access to reproductive services.” This fit with Biden’s July 2022 executive order marshaling the federal government to defend “reproductive rights” after the Supreme Court overturned Roe. Meanwhile‚ Biden has also gone out of his way to champion transgender orthodoxy. His executive orders reorganized the federal government around the idea that biological sex matters less than a person’s stated gender identity‚ and he aggressively promoted openly nonbinary staff like Sam Brinton‚ transgender officials such as Rachel Levine‚ and social media influencers such as Dylan Mulvaney. Biden even had to ban transgender activist Rose Montoya from the White House after an incident in which Montoya‚ a male‚ revealed his prosthetic breasts toplessly at a Pride Month celebration last June on the South Lawn. Biden has also pressed the transgender issue in schools‚ even though polling shows most Americans oppose gender lessons for kids and support parental rights on the issue. 3. Demonizing Concerned Parents In 2021‚ the National School Boards Association sent Biden a letter likening parents who protest school district policies to domestic terrorists. Documents later revealed that the White House had worked with the school boards group to draft the letter. The school boards association later apologized for the letter‚ and the Justice Department rescinded a memo it issued based on the letter‚ but the incident revealed Biden’s approach to concerned parents. The Biden administration released a domestic terrorism strategy in June 2021‚ after consulting “extensively with a wide array of experts.” Those “experts” appear to have included a far-left smear factory‚ the Southern Poverty Law Center. In a call with donors‚ SPLC President Margaret Huang bragged that the Biden administration reached out to her organization for advice to “help shape” the domestic terrorism strategy. As I wrote in my book‚ “Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center‚” the SPLC weaponized its history of rightly suing KKK groups into bankruptcy to demonize mainstream conservative and Christian groups‚ which it puts on a “hate map” alongside KKK chapters. The SPLC’s smears led to a domestic terrorist attack in 2012‚ and an SPLC lawyer got arrested on domestic terrorism charges last year. Amid a racial discrimination and sexual harassment scandal that led the SPLC to fire its co-founder in 2019‚ a former employee called the “hate” accusations a “highly profitable scam.” Despite these scandals‚ the Biden White House hosted SPLC leaders and staff at least 11 times‚ and Biden nominated an SPLC attorney to a top federal judgeship. Recently unearthed documents showed that a leading Education Department official met with SPLC staff in 2022‚ one year before the SPLC put parental rights groups such as Moms for Liberty on its “hate map.” 4. COVID-19 Free Speech Suppression After Biden took office‚ the White House moved to suppress what it called “misinformation” on the COVID-19 pandemic. Biden claimed that social media companies were “killing people” by allowing vaccine “misinformation.” Documents released in the “Twitter Files” and in legal cases showed that the Biden White House repeatedly pressured social media companies to remove “misinformation” on COVID-19 vaccines and other topics. 10. Berenson sued (and then settled with) Twitter. In the legal process Twitter was compelled to release certain internal communications‚ which showed direct White House pressure on the company to take action on Berenson.??https://t.co/CHt0s7ZqfQ pic.twitter.com/dFgRmyRB3z— David Zweig (@davidzweig) December 26‚ 2022 Facebook admitted that it suppressed “often-true content” about people’s experiences with the vaccines. Amazon bowed to White House pressure to suppress certain books that expressed skepticism about vaccines. These attacks on free speech have led moderates to join conservatives in condemning the Biden administration. 5. ‘Extremists’ Biden has repeatedly demonized his opponents‚ branding them racists or “extremists.” When states moved to institute protections for election integrity after many officials loosened voting rules during the COVID-19 pandemic‚ Biden demonized those efforts as racist. He even said of Georgia’s new voting law that it “makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle.” Shortly after Biden took office‚ Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin directed the military to observe a one-day stand-down to address extremism based on some reports that service members took part in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6‚ 2021. Yet a DoD-commissioned study on extremism in the military not only found little evidence to suggest the military is more extreme than the general public‚ but also warned that efforts to root out supposed “extremism” may harm recruitment. According to a December Pew Research Center survey‚ only 24% of Americans surveyed say they are “very” or “somewhat confident” that Biden can “bring the country closer together.” In 2021‚ almost half of Americans (48%) surveyed expressed confidence in his ability to bring unity. Even self-identified Democrats‚ who mostly expressed confidence in Biden’s ability to bring unity in 2021 (74%) appear to have largely given up hope of such unity. Only 42% expressed optimism in December. On Sept. 1‚ 2022‚ Biden gave an impassioned speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. His team lit up the hall with red‚ white‚ and blue‚ but the red in the middle covered Biden‚ giving him a “Star Wars” evil emperor aura. That aura fit the speech’s theme perfectly‚ as Biden warned about the “MAGA extremism” that “threatens the very republic.” I think that speech sums up the ultimate reason Biden has utterly failed to “restore the soul of America.” Biden’s rhetoric in that speech echoes his administration’s horrifying record in targeting his opponents‚ and that could not be further removed from efforts to truly mend our country’s divisions.
