Aardman has run out of clay and only has enough for one Wallace and Gromit film
Aardman Animations - the studio behind Chicken Run and Wallace and Gromit - is running out of clay. According to The Telegraph, Newclay Products, the factory that produces the specific clay used by the studio shut down in March. Now the studio only has enough clay for one more film. The specific clay, called 'Lewis Newplast' has been used by Aardman since the early 1970s, and despite buying all of the factories remaining stock, it's not enough for the studio to keep producing the films we love. Valerie Dearing, one of the directors of Newclay Products, said: "Aardman bought a lot of our remaining stock of Newplast to keep them going. They got what they said was two years' worth. It came to about 40 boxes, which must have been around 400kg." The reason for the factory's closing is the retirement of its directors. Paul Dearing explained "we ran the business for 16 years and it was thriving, but we couldn't find anyone who wanted to take over the firm after we retired so we sold off everything." However the Dearings were proud of their company's legacy. "To look back and think that all those wonderful character they created were made without clay and that our company was such a key part of the artistic process, we're very proud of it," Paul said. Thankfully this didn't interrupt the creation of their latest film, Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nuggets, which is released on Netflix on December 15. Now, Aardman is on the hunt for a replacement clay that can sustain hot studio lights whilst being malleable enough to create the studio's iconic characters.

Trump news – live: Trump calls special prosecutor a ‘crackhead’ in response to White House cocaine discovery
Most presidents, current and former, typically spend America’s Independence Day celebrating the values of US society that bring its citizens together, joining in the festive and unifying themes of the national holiday. And then there’s Donald Trump. The former president spent July 4 fuming at his enemies on Truth Social, resharing a vulgar message aimed at President Joe Biden and the tens of millions of Americans who voted for him in 2020. ““F**k Biden and f**k you for voting for him”, read the post. Later, he continued his holiday rant by branding the president a “very dangerous idiot in the White House”. He also posted a bizarre image of himself imposed into the Revolutionary War, prompting social media users to suggest he is more like Benedict Arnold – the infamous US traitor – than the Founding Fathers. In other Trumpworld news, the company planning to merge with Truth Social has reached an $18m settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC) announced the tentative settlement on Monday, ending an SEC probe looking into whether it held talks with Truth Social’s parent company before going public – a violation of regulations.
