Content Warning: use of hate speech, antisemitism, explicit language.
Miami Heat center Meyers Leonard is under fire for using an antisemitic slur while streaming Call of Duty: Warzone on Twitch earlier this week, according to Defector.
Leonard, who was streaming Warzone with at least one other person, was complaining about a player trying to snipe him. After a brief moment of accosting that playing for trying to snipe him, Leonard called them a “k*** b****.” The person Leonard is playing with just laughed nervously after he said it.

Netflix’s Russian Doll Season 2 Casts Schitt’s Creek’s Annie Murphy
Season 2 of Russian Doll is finally starting to take shape, with The Hollywood Reporter indicating that Canadian actor Annie Murphy (Schitt’s Creek) is joining the cast in an undisclosed role and capacity. The Netflix series, heavily inspired by the classic Bill Murray film Groundhog Day, was picked up for a second season back in 2019–but the COVID-19 pandemic had pumped the brakes on production rolling forward as expected. Production is expected to resume again, finally, at some point in March.
It’s still pretty much a mystery what Season 2 of Russian Doll will encompass or who the main characters will be. It’s no spoiler to reveal that Season 1 focused on Natasha Lyonne (Orange is the New Black) as Nadia Vulvokov, a software engineer who is stuck reliving her 36th birthday, which is also the day she seems to die no matter what choices she makes.
The season finale wrapped things up satisfactorily enough to function as a series finale, or could even plausibly have teed Russian Doll up to be an anthology series focusing on different characters stuck in similar dilemmas–but until this announcement all that is literally known so far is that a second season was coming, and now, that Murphy is involved.

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut Is Still Releasing In March
Despite a lack of recent updates on the game, Disco Elysium: The Final Cut will still release sometime in March. Disco Elysium developer ZA/UM announced The Final Cut back at The Game Awards 2020 last December, a “director’s cut”-style version of the game that would extend and expand the acclaimed RPG. It’ll also add full voice acting. Though Disco Elysium: The Final Cut was said to release for PS4, PS5, Stadia, and PC in March 2021, some fans have grown concerned that the game might not meet the deadline.
However, according to a recent Discord communication by a member of the game’s development team, The Final Cut is releasing in March “for sure.” ZA/UM’s head of publishing Mikk Metsniit said that the team’s radio silence is due to the coordination required to make sure that the game launches correctly on all four platforms. Metsniit’s public statement came in part due to a “lot of speculation [being] thrown about.”
Disco Elysium is a highly literary take on the CRPG genre inspired by genre classics like Planescape: Torment as well as other works, like Émile Zola’s seminal novel Germinal. As part of the original announcement, ZA/UM said Disco Elysium: The Final Cut will come to Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch later this summer. The Final Cut will be a free upgrade to existing owners of the original Disco Elysium. This will be the first time that the game will be available on consoles. Disco Elysium is one of the most critically-acclaimed games of the late 2010’s, and GameSpot previously named it one of the 10 best games of 2019.
