Bianca Belair recently won the Women’s Royal Rumble match and became the first African-American woman to do so. She shared a post on Twitter to mark the beginning of Black History Month this year. The post has a picture of Belair and Ford cosplaying as two historically important figures in African-American history, Guion Bluford Jr. and Mae Jemison. Both individuals were astronauts who made significant contributions to their field. Guion Bluford Jr....

The federal government’s current rules provide student loan relief for those that are “totally and permanently disabled” and don’t earn enough but only if documented proof of a disability is submitted alongside a three-year monitoring period of one’s income. Now, beginning September, the Education Department will start wiping out student debt for 323,000 citizens identified as permanently disabled on their Social Security records. The three-year income monitoring period is expected to be taken away during a federal rule making process that begins in October....

Biden also condemned Republican governors like Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott of Texas, who have threatened schools that implement student mask mandates. “My plan also takes on elected officials and states that are undermining you and these life-saving actions,” Biden said, speaking to pro-mandate school officials. “Right now, local school officials are trying to keep children safe in a pandemic, while their governor picks a fight with them, and even threatens their salaries or their jobs....

Part of Xiaomi’s success has come from what you might call a deluge of devices. For better or worse, Xiaomi makes a lot of phones – both within its own core brand, and across its Poco, Redmi, and Black Shark sub-brands. That means there are a lot of excellent Xiaomi phones to pick from, but also that it can be difficult to find the best one for you. The good news is that every year we review loads of Xiaomi handsets, and here we’ve done our best to rank them as they stand right now – including pros and cons for each model, the latest pricing, and links to our reviews for in-depth analysis....

Sharing an image of the Fallout 76 console and controller through its official Twitter account, Bethesda outlined exactly how players can enter the sweepstakes: The drawing for the Xbox One X will take place at approximately 12:59 pm EST on December 24, and the criteria mentioned in the Tweet must, of course, be met by that time. Furthermore, the official sweepstakes rules indicate that “all participants must be 18 years of age or older at the time of entry, must possess a valid form of identification and be a legal resident of one of the 50 United States (or the District of Columbia)....

Why Quake Champions is a PC exclusive title is a question many game players have been asking, recently. After all, Overwatch and Paragon are both on consoles. Of course, these questions are mostly coming from younger gamers who aren’t familiar with multiplayer Quake’s gameplay. Luckily Bethesda marketing guru Pete Hines was willing to explain the answer in a straightforward manner to GameSpot: “There is not a console that supports our vision for [Quake Champions]....

Unfortunately for those seriously considering the offer, it’s unlikely that the note from the PR vice president will do much to sway any employer or teacher. Requesting that any “teacher/boss/authority figure” allows the poor gamer to be relieved from their duties via Twitter, Hines specifically states that the Fallout fan needs to “stay home and rest their pancreas.” Unless Fallout 4 can be proved to be good for any pancreatic ailments, it’s unlikely such a note would be taken all that seriously....

Ceballos enjoyed a breakthrough season last year with hometown club Betis, playing 30 times in LaLiga and catching the eye with some fine displays in attacking midfield. Despite being warned about potentially spending lots of time on the bench should he move, Ceballos agreed a six-year deal with Madrid in July after a reported €16.5million bid had been accepted. And, predictably, 21-year-old Ceballos has struggled to make a splash among Madrid’s sea of attacking players, playing just 10 times in LaLiga, with only two of those coming from the start....

An Associated Press analysis found that 23,000 ballots were rejected, roughly 13% of all ballots from the 187 counties that responded to the inquiry. The newly arduous process to vote comes after the passage of the SB-1 election law by Republicans in the Texas legislature. State Republicans like Governor Greg Abbott said no one eligible to vote would be denied the right to vote, and upon its passage Lt. Governor Dan Patrick said it would make it “easier to vote....

Harry Potter, Twilight, the rather widely disliked The Hobbit (turning a short children’s book into 3 movies is something only the maddest of lads could pull off), and beyond have demonstrated this trend to varying degrees of audience confusion. Maybe it has to do with the sheer content the filmmakers wish to convey, or maybe it simply has to do with wanting more money. Either way, it seems to work, even getting to the point where Breaking Bad kept viewers on the edge of their seats for nearly an entire year while they waited for the second half of its final season to air....

All good things must come to an end and Better Call Saul is no exception to that rule with a final episode that lacks the shock and awe Breaking Bad and this series’ season-enders often had, but one that instead wraps up the life story of Jimmy McGill in perfect fashion. Not a single gunshot is fired in Better Call Saul’s ending, instead, the showrunners leave audiences with a different kind of bang as Jimmy drops one truth bomb after the other once he’s caught by the police....

Kane 2/1 to score 2+ v Slovenia Seemingly unwanted at Tottenham, as they embarked on a succession of managers with varying degrees of success, Kane was sent out on loan to Leyton Orient, then Millwall – after making his Spurs debut – then Norwich City and finally, famously, to Leicester City. In an ironic twist, the youngster spent time alongside Jamie Vardy on the bench at the Foxes, Nigel Pearson seemingly unwilling to throw either into the pressure-cooker of Championship football....

Betts belted three solo homers and J.D. Martinez also went deep, powering the Boston Red Sox to a 5-4 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. It was the fourth three-homer game for the 25-year-old Betts, snapping a tie with Williams for most three-homer games in franchise history. Betts broke into the majors with the Red Sox in 2014, so he was well aware of the significance of the connection to the Hall of Famer....

Betty Taylor had been reported as missing since March 20 and was found ten days later. Graham County Undersheriff Jeff McCormies told local newspaper The Copper Era that she and her 23-year-old companion were found using location-tracking technology. The identity of the man has not been released, but he has been arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and custodial interference. Authorities have not released where specifically in South Carolina Betty Taylor was found....

RELATED: 10 Things Only DC Comic Fans Will Notice In Zack Snyder’s Justice League Thankfully, the Justice League manages to fend off both Darkseid and his lieutenant Steppenwolf’s forces. Unfortunately, this did cause a divide among filmgoers and fans: did Darkseid have to be the Justice League’s first threat in their first team-up film? Interestingly, some villains may still be worthwhile foes for the League. 10 Lex Luthor Who better to face the Justice League than Lex Luthor himself?...

Mentioned on the official Ubisoft website, a job listing for a Unity Programmer says that Ubisoft Paris is the “proud maker” of games such as “Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, Mario+Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, Just Dance 2021, Watch_Dogs Legion or Beyond Good and Evil 2.” This is far from confirmation that there’s been any major progress made on Beyond Good and Evil 2, but its place on a list full of finished games certainly seems a little odd....

Map schedule and timings for BGIS Grand Finals Day 4 The match-ups for the final day will be the same, with three of the six matches being played on the classic map of Erangel....

The country’s fame, instead, comes from its billing as one of the happiest places on earth. In fact, the government promotes a concept it terms “Gross National Happiness” as a way to measure success. “People at home are not unhappy we have not won,” Younten Tshedup, a reporter for the national newspaper Kuensel, told the Associated Press at the Asian Games. “Everyone is happy, even with no medals. But medals this time would be icing on the cake....
