Mascots are typically fun-loving bastions of joy for men, women and children at sporting events, but never forget. Underneath those costumes, are real deal adults. So, if you’re thinking about allowing your child to line it up against one in what you think is a well-intended, family-friendly simulation of athletic activity, you may want to think again. They’ll straight beast your little bundle of joy with no remorse. Saturday, social media blessed our timelines with a compilation video of various mascots taking it to peoples’ children on the football field....

Authorities arrested Eyasu, Mogos and Teklemariam on September 17, 1994, but formal charges were never filed and they’ve never come before the court. In 2017, they were transferred to Mai Serwa prison, where they were allowed visitors for the first time, according to Human Rights Watch. “We feel deeply for Isaac, Negede, and Paulos, who have suffered harsh conditions for more than half their lives for refusing military service,” Jehovah’s Witnesses spokesperson Gilles Pichaud told Newsweek....

Erythrosuchids, meaning “red crocodiles” were predatory creatures that lived just after the Permo-Triassic mass extinction 252 million years ago—the worst mass extinction event in Earth’s history. They could reach up to 16 feet in length and are believed to have been apex predators. The oldest genus of this family is a Garjainia, which appeared in the Early Triassic, 251 to 247 million years ago.

But this isn’t sports, and it’s not as if there is a lot of past history of similar cases to compare to this one. Not only is it difficult to predict what jurors will do, the only person who knows what evidence and witnesses will be brought before the grand jury is the county prosecutor himself. The Stewart case is like none other in recent memory. It is rare for a racecar driver to get out of his racecar during a race, approach another car on foot and be struck and killed, which is what happened when 20-year-old Kevin Ward Jr....

The canceled Darth Maul game has been the topic of intrigue amongst gamers and fans of Star Wars for many years, with new information coming to light every few years or so from former and unnamed employees. 12 It Was Violent, As Lightsabers Should Be The available footage of the game shows Darth Maul battling Mandalorians with his lightsaber, involving him slashing off limbs and cutting off heads. The combat is reflective of what a real lightsaber would do, and not like EA’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, in which the protagonist’s lightsaber is treated more like a baseball bat than a sword....

Moderna and its Japanese distributor, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, told Newsweek in a joint statement “there is no indication” the deaths were linked to the administration of the vaccine and were working with health officials in the country to investigate the incidents. On August 26, Takeda announced the suspension of three vaccine lots, totaling 1.63 million doses, after reports that a foreign particulate had been found in vials. An investigation found fragments of stainless steel in some vials in one lot, which Moderna and Takeda said were most likely related to the friction between two pieces of metal in the machinery that puts stoppers on the vials....

Sleeping in? A guy in a wheelchair with a beautiful girl? Most of the time, television commercials barely acknowledge the existence of disabled people, let alone depict them as sexually desirable. But new legislation and a largely untapped market of disabled Americans has advertisers taking a fresh look at a group that lives, loves and shops like everyone else. The Eddie Bauer catalog of outdoor wear includes a skier with an artificial leg....

FUBAR is a short feature that several spectators may find too silly or messy to take seriously, but the key characters are appealing and entertaining to watch due to their larger-than-life personas. This film from Canadian director Michael Dowse also resembles the style of a heavy metal or hard rock music video, especially due to the soundtrack. RELATED: God of War, The Witcher Used for Mockumentary on Reforestation FUBAR is about a couple of lifelong companions, Dean Murdoch (Paul Spence) and Terry Cahill (Dave Lawrence), who grew up together in Calgary, Alberta, and are musicians who formed their own garage rock band....

Ithaca’s city council allowed the resolution on June 3 to petition the state government for approval to cancel unpaid rent during the pandemic.

One of the best moments in the whole trilogy comes right at the end of the third movie, Return of the King. It’s the scene where the peril is over, the Ring has been destroyed, and Aragorn is finally crowned king of Gondor. He walks through the crowd, encountering other characters he took this journey with, and is reunited with Arwen. In the final section of the scene - which is the greatest moment in the film - he approaches the four hobbits where they have been standing watching the ceremony, and they start to bow to the new king....

Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy set the tone for superhero movies for the next decade until the MCU blossomed supreme. From 2005’s Batman Begins to 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises, fans were treated to a version of Batman never seen, that of real and gritty. It eschewed the comic book trappings in favor of explainable and practical narratives. How then, were they to incorporate a character like the Joker?...

A man who wished to be identified as Kelvin told the BBC that he awoke in the middle of the night on August 9 when he heard an odd “clinking sound.” To his surprise, there was a four-foot-long snake slithering up his nightstand....

For those unaware, Sonic The Hedgehog was a box office hit, holding the top spot for several weeks despite the trend that video game movies tend not to do well. A large part of this was due to the Sonic redesign that changed Sonic from an unpleasant anthropomorphic hedgehog into a more pleasant anthropomorphic hedgehog that fans were more familiar with. Shadow is Sonic’s rival, so it seems only natural that the next installment in the film series should focus on him, or at least include him as a side character or potentially even as a villain in the next sequel....

Spider-Man’s rogues gallery is a wonderfully varied group, from small-time criminals enhanced by strange technology to powerful vampires and aliens. Long time Spidey nemesis Venom was the star of a 2018 blockbuster and its sequel is set to premiere this fall.

Riot Games won’t be allowing anyone inside the Los Angeles studio for the 2021 League of Legends Championship Series Summer Split. This is due to the ongoing pandemic that started back in early 2020.
