WWE SmackDown recap & reactions (Feb. 25, 2022): Skid mark security – Cageside Seats

WWE has taken to selling the Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar title vs. title match at WrestleMania 38 as “The biggest WrestleMania match of all time.” We had a chat about as much in the Cageside offices during Friday Night SmackDown this week and I actually think they may have some claim to selling it as such. What was bigger? Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant? Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior? Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Rock? John Cena vs. The Rock? I legitimately believe you could argue in good faith that these two, with the feud they’ve put together, and the stakes at play, at the venue they’re having the match in, could be called what they’re selling it as. Feel free to tell me how full of shit I am, if you think I am. A quick note on all this, by the way: both The Usos and Paul H...

Bucatini all’Amatriciana Recipe

A Classic Roman Dish - Bucatini all'Amatriciana Like many of you, Meg and I watched the Stanley Tucci special on CNN called Searching for Italy.

Spielbergs revving up to make a new Bullitt movie – The A.V. Club

Steve McQueen in BullittPhoto: Warner Bros./Courtesy Getty Images Car chase fans, prepare yourself: Steven Spielberg is developing a new movie based off Frank Bullitt, the San Francisco police detective memorably brought to life by Steve McQueen in 1968's Bullitt. Per Variety, Spielberg is working with Josh Singer, from The Post and Spotlight, to write a new script centered on the famously fast-driving cop. This new project won’t, apparently, be a direct remake of Bullitt, which was based off the 1963 Robert L. Fish novel Mute Witness. Instead it’ll be a new and original story—although Spielberg and his co-producers did secure the rights to the Bullitt character from McQueen’s estate, with the actor’s son and granddaughter both attached as executive producers. Deadline, which first br...

Jussie Smollett files motion to throw out his guilty verdict for staging hate crime – New York Post

Jussie Smollett’s lawyers asked a Chicago judge Friday to toss out his conviction for staging a hate crime — or grant him a new trial — claiming that his constitutional rights were violated by the court during the jury selection process. Lawyers for the former “Empire” actor argued that the court made a litany of errors during the trial, which they claimed was “a lightning rod for the political divisions plaguing the country,” according to a filing obtained by The Post. Smollett, 39, was found guilty in December of lying to police when he told cops that admirers of former President Trump had beat him up for being black and gay. The defense’s post-trial motion came two weeks before the disgraced actor was set to be sentenced. He faces up to three years behind...

Covid: Five things we still need to keep an eye on – BBC News

Why is it important? Some scientists think this is the single most important issue in the months ahead. We are familiar with hard-to-treat superbugs, from MRSA to super-gonorrhoea, which were created by misusing antibiotics. The same process can happen with antivirals. These drugs, such as Paxlovid and molnupiravir, are currently playing a vital role in saving lives and are one reason restrictions are being eased. Even more importantly, they are the safety net in the future. If a new variant emerges that significantly bypasses our immunity, we will be dependent on antivirals to buy us time until an updated vaccine can be developed and rolled out.
