If there’s one good thing you can say about Amazon Prime’s Ricky Stanicky (which isn’t a lot), it’s that John Cena is the best part of the film. In it, Cena stars as Rod, a washed-up actor who performs X-rated song parodies and is then hired to play the role of Ricky Stanicky, an imaginary best friend that Zac Efron (The Iron Claw) and his two friends created to take the blame for their bad behavior.

Renowned aggravator Rudy Gobert pissed off another group of people Friday night, and though getting T’d up isn’t newsworthy in itself, it’s what the Frenchman did to earn a technical that’s interesting. In the closing seconds of the Cleveland-Minnesota game with his team ahead by a point, the Timberwolves center was whistled for his sixth foul, and on his way off the floor, made the money signs to the referees that Johnny Maziel made famous. Rudy Gobert punches Kyle Anderson, remains waste of money | Andy Reacts Darius Garland cashed the freebie, and sent it to overtime where the…
The world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, went viral this week for posting about a new product in its offering. It wasn’t a token. It wasn’t a structured product. It wasn’t equity. It was … perfume. “Crypto by Binance” has a ring to it, but not in the fragrance market. To be fair, the new scent—billed as “Affordable Affluence” and sold at pop-up stores in Bahrain, is to promote an “Academy” or a learning course and associated credit for women who want to learn more about cryptocurrencies. “If only women knew more about cryptocurrencies, then surely they would participate” is…
Israeli forces have struck one of the largest residential towers in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, residents said, stepping up pressure on the last area of the enclave it has not yet invaded and where more than a million displaced Palestinians are sheltering.

Dozens of families were made homeless though no casualties were reported, according to residents. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the incident. One of…

The main attraction to the world of points and miles is the ability to redeem your rewards for “free” travel. What I find even more lucrative is securing premium airline seats in business and first class using my points and miles for a fraction of the cash price. Whether you’re earning points and miles on an airline cobranded card or a transferable points-earning credit card, it’s a great way to maximize your rewards. However, one of the biggest worries of points and miles is devaluation. When a program gets devalued, it means your hard-earned and saved-up rewards become less valuable;…
Ryan Gosling may be “just Ken,” but the Oscars are never “just” an award show. The grand finale to the highest-grossing year in film since the pandemic is upon us—and it comes with a hefty price tag. Sunday’s Academy Awards ceremony carries a total cost of $56.9 million, according to a recent report from personal finance company WalletHub based on its own projections, news reports, and data from the Academy. While the awards themselves tend to be a guessing game, the extravagant cost of the ceremony is a given. From pricey goodie bags for Cillian Murphy and Lily Gladstone to…

Fowles went on to play 14 years in the WNBA, where she won two championships, was a two-time finals MVP, a WNBA MVP (2017), and a four-time defensive player for the year. She split her career between the Chicago Sky and the Minnesota Lynx, who have retired her number 34 jersey.
Well, if weight here is being used as a proxy for sex or gender, a larger woman would need the higher dose; a smaller man a lower dose. So why would you just not use weight as the measure for what dose a person should get? That would be a much more effective way of deciding. But because we collect data along certain lines and not others, then guidelines get written along certain lines and not others. To give another example, sometimes women’s pain is not fully appreciated when they come forward. Women are statistically more likely to go to…
Britain’s Andy Murray fell to a straight-set defeat against Russian fifth seed Andrey Rublev in the third round at Indian Wells. Three-time Grand Slam champion Murray, 36, was beaten 7-6 (7-3) 6-1 by Rublev in a high-quality match in California. Murray, who has said he is not planning to “play much past this summer” as he considers retirement, missed four set points when leading the first set 5-4. He then quickly faded in the second after losing serve in the fourth game. Murray, who finished runner-up to Rafael Nadal at the tournament in 2009, thanked the Indian Wells crowd on…
