2021 WWE Royal Rumble results, recap, grades: Edge, Bianca Belair emerge as winners on strong show – CBSSports.com

While there are other meaningful matches on every WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view card, the Royal Rumble matches themselves are the true highlight of the annual event. In 2021, both the men's and women's side featured impressive performances that saw the winners last nearly a full hour before securing their shot at a world title at WrestleMania. On the women's side, Bianca Belair battled from the No. 3 spot, outlasting 29 other women before last eliminating Rhea Ripley. While Belair represents the new blood on the WWE roster, the men's side was won by a legend when Edge last eliminated Randy Orton to secure his title shot.

LSD Lets The Brain Free Itself From Divisions Dictated by Anatomy, Scientists Find – ScienceAlert

Where does the mind 'meet' the brain? While there's no shortage of research into the effects of psychedelics, drugs like LSD still have much to teach us about the way the brain operates – and can shine a light on the mysterious interface between consciousness and neural physiology, research suggests.   In a new study investigating the effects of LSD on volunteers, scientists found that the psychedelic enables the brain to function in a way beyond what anatomy usually dictates, by altering states of dynamic integration and segregation in the human brain. "The psychedelic compound LSD induces a profoundly altered state of consciousness," explains first author and neuroscience researcher Andrea Luppi from the University of Cambridge. "Combining pharmacological interventions with non-inv...

Entertainment/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images As we grow nearer to the one-year anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, we didn’t anticipate the nation’s populace would cycle back to that memorable hallmark of early quarantine: being extremely horny online 24/7. (More so than usual, we mean.) But between the recent #BussItChallenge and the even more recent #SilhouetteChallenge, TikTok continues to hold a mirror up to society, and society can’t help but notice how good they look right now.

Kourtney Kardashian Has the Best Reaction to Boyfriend Travis Barkers Latest Post – Yahoo Entertainment

Kourtney Kardashian is impressed by boyfriend Travis Barker's early musical endeavor. On Jan. 31, Travis—the drummer for Blink-182 and the former star of reality series Meet the Barkers—took to Instagram to share a throwback video of himself playing with his former band. "My first punk band FEEBLE," the artist wrote in the caption, which showed the group playing on a much smaller stage than Travis is now used to performing on.

This is just one example of how the just-confirmed couple is making their romance known on social media.
