WWE SmackDown recap & reactions (Feb. 4, 2022): The family business – Cageside Seats

Ronda Rousey continues to be a polarizing figure in the world of sports, entertainment, and sports entertainment. I, too, never quite know how feel about her. On Friday Night SmackDown this week, she showed up to refute Sonya Deville’s claim that she would be accepting a match with Becky Lynch for the Raw women’s championship at WrestleMania 38, instead making clear she’s going after Charlotte Flair and the SmackDown women’s championship. She was sure to say that it’s not that Flair is special, it’s just that she’s first. Because she’s back to teach her new baby the family business, and that business is kicking ass. Flair is simply the first name on a long list of asses that need kicked. So she’ll go about doing that in the main event of the biggest show of the year. Lynch com...

Why Did These ‘Joe Rogan Experience’ Episodes Get Yanked From Spotify? – Rolling Stone

Over 70 episodes of the Joe Rogan Experience were quietly removed from Spotify Friday, adding yet another development in the ongoing debate over whether the streaming giant is responsible for monitoring misinformation and harmful content posted to its platform. Among the episodes removed include interviews with Amy Schumer, Marc Maron, Bill Burr, Andy Dick, Tool frontman Maynard J. Keenan and Iliza Shlesinger.

New research shows how color could help stave off mosquitoes – Yahoo! Voices

Mosquito bites are an unfortunate inevitability of summertime — or are they? Scientists recently found that mosquitos are more attracted to some colors than others, which could potentially prove useful to those trying to avoid the itchy bites.  The study, which was published Friday, found that after a common type of mosquitos smelled CO2 — the gas humans breathe out — they decided to land on some colored dots but ignored others.  "Imagine you're on a sidewalk and you smell pie crust and cinnamon," senior author Jeffrey Riffell, a professor of biology at the University of Washington, said in a press release announcing the study's findings.
