Here are all the League of Legends champions that appear in the first act of Arcane – Dot Esports

Arcane, Riot Games’ new animated series, launched on Netflix earlier this week.

Its My Body And My COVID, Pete Davidsons Aaron Rodgers Declares On SNL – HuffPost

Pete Davidson transformed into Green Bay Packer Aaron Rodgers to take on the football star’s COVID diagnosis and his defiant refusal to be vaccinated on “Saturday Night Live’s” cold open episode of Faux News’ “Justice With Judge Jeanine.” Cecily Strong, playing Jeanine Pirro, introduces “Rodgers” as an American brave enough to say: “Screw you, science, I know” conspiracy quack Joe Rogan. “You’re not vaccinated. So what?” she tells Davidson. “Who the hell cares? It’s your body, your choice. And please never use that quote for any other issue.” “Exactly Jeanine, it’s my body and my COVID ... I can give it to whoever I want,” replies Davidson. “But suddenly the woke mob is coming after me.” “Pirro” challenges him: “Straight talk Aaron, because I never talk gay.

Sleep with your pet? How that may affect you (and your pet) – KSL.com

"Hi, I'm Lynx (center and right), a 2-year-old Siberian. I must sleep with one of my humans, so I can walk or sit on them or try to smell their breath. I also enjoy draping my 2-foot-long body across their necks at about 3 a.m. My sister Luna (left) likes to sit on feet and bite them during the night."

Tonight, Kieran Culkin made his first appearance as host of Saturday Night Live, reflecting up top on his experience portraying Roman Roy on HBO’s hit series Succession over the last few years. “He’s one of the nicer characters on the show,” Culkin explained, “which still makes him one of the top 10 worst human beings on TV.” Culkin noted that people sometimes tell him, “That role really suits you,” admitting that that isn’t really a compliment. “It’s sort of like going up to someone and saying, ‘You know what role would fit you like a glove? Giuliani,'” he joked. “Ah, why?” These encounters aside, it’s been a “big year” for Culkin, who in August welcomed his second child with wife Jazz Charton. “I’ve got to say, my wife has been really supportive and wonderful throughout thi...
