Sidney is a logical suspect. The most educated woman in England after Elizabeth I, she gathered leading writers about her in a sort of literary salon dedicated to elevating English literature. Sidney-as-bard would explain why Shakespeare wrote love sonnets to a younger man (her purported lover). It would clarify why the first collection of Shakespeare’s plays was dedicated to the earls of Pembroke and Montgomery (her sons). And it would explain Ben Jonson’s phrase “sweet swan of Avon....

The buzz surrounding Marvel’s next blockbuster, Eternals, has continued to grow in lieu of its theatrical release next month. Aside from the impressive cast, trailer, comic history, and their impending battle with the Deviants, some details of the film are still unknown. This secrecy has gone a long way in assisting with the promotion of the film, exciting Marvel fans with a glimpse of this new band of heroes....

Inslee’s move came on the one-year anniversary of the riot at the U.S. Capitol. In his announcement at an Associated Press event to preview legislation, Inslee said lies about elections are not just happening in the state of Washington and went on to accuse former President Donald Trump of “continuing a coup.” He called on lawmakers in Washington state to produce such legislation criminalizing the lies. “The violence of January 6 of last year is just a warning of what is coming and the basis of it is the ‘Big Lie,’” he said....

“I can confirm that Kenney Bui had a mild concussion in early September,” Catherine Carbone Rogers, chief communications officer for Highline Public Schools, told The Seattle Times. “He was seen by a doctor and cleared for our Return To Play protocol, which eases the athlete back into practice and games over a couple of weeks.” MORE: Week 6 photos | Notable sports deaths A wide receiver and defensive back for Evergreen High School in Burien, Wash....

MORE: NFL Power Rankings | NFLPA issues warning | Expanded playoffs In this week’s two-page letter, he did not change his stance, but in 31 uses of “Redskins,” he did detail the history of the name (at least the franchises’ long-stated history of it, which has been disputed), and added: “I’ve listened carefully to the commentary and perspectives on all sides, and I respect the feelings of those who are offended by the team name....

Giroud repays the faith to give Arsenal perfect Christmas present Harry the Hornet performed an exaggerated dive at the feet of the Palace man as he went to applaud the visiting fans at the end of the clash. Zaha had been booked for simulation in the closing stages of the match, in which a Troy Deeney penalty cancelled out Yohan Cabaye’s opener at Vicarage Road. And Allardyce was not amused either by that decision or the scenes following the final whistle....

Wasteland 3: Irv Clone Fight To start, fans that wish to completely avoid the battle with the clones will need to have party members with the following Wasteland 3 skills: Level 4 Sneaky Sh*t, Level 3 Weird Science, and Level 4 Nerd Stuff. For full clarity, a single character with all three of these skills is technically enough to bypass the Irv clone fight, but it is perfectly suitable to have them split across three different squad members in Wasteland 3....

Addressing reporters on his return to New South Wales, having been handed a 12-month ban by Cricket Australia for his role in the ball-tampering scandal that marred the third Test with South Africa, a tearful Smith apologised repeatedly - saying “sorry” five times during a brief appearance in front of the media. Smith also described himself as “absolutely gutted and “absolutely devastated”, before stating: “I know I’ll regret this for the rest of my life” as he struggled to maintain his composure amid some probing questions regarding the saga....

The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) attacker was once again the star of the show in an Argentina shirt. He netted two late goals as the two-time world champions registered their second 3-0 victory in their recent international fixtures. This was despite him coming in as a second-half substitute. After scoring his first goal at the 86-minute mark, a fan from the crowd invaded the pitch to get an autograph on his back....

The legendary rapper recently reached an agreement with the UFC that also saw him appearing on one of ESPN’s segments alongside Dana White. The two men engaged in a verbal war, which was only recorded with the purpose of including it in Eminem’s latest track. Higher song was released by Eminem in December 2020 on the side B deluxe edition of his latest album, ‘Music to be Murdered by’. However, the music video of the song was published to Eminem’s YouTube channel in late January 2021....

Olivier Giroud came off the bench to notch a late equalizer for the Gunners against Manchester United, as the Frenchman nodded home an Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain cross. That strike negated Juan Mata’s 68th-minute opener as United’s poor start to life under Jose Mourinho continued.

Just one year on, the five-time world champions have been transformed, racing to eight consecutive victories that saw Brazil become the first team to qualify for Russia 2018. The Selecao have gone from national disappointments to World Cup favourites. How has he done it? How has Neymar replicated his club form on the international stage? How did Philippe Coutinho finally become a star for country as well as club? And how did Gabriel Jesus emerge so quickly?...

During the match, Keith Lee charged into John Morrison, who was in the corner. The impact of the collision was so massive that the turnbuckle behind Morrison broke away, resulting in the ropes falling. You can watch this amazing moment in the GIF below. While it could have been a planned spot, the surprised reaction from Keith Lee as well as Sheamus was amazing, and it is safe to say that no one saw this coming on a regular episode of Monday Night RAW....

Cecily Strong wore one of the team's black jerseys from the mid-90s — the ones with the diagonal wordmark — during a sketch that updated "Baby It's Cold Outside," the creepiest Christmas standard of all. The jersey pops up around 2:20. Lucily for Jimmy Fallon, nobody asked him to pronounce Evgeni Malkin this time. He's bad at that.

The footage appears to show at least one Ukrainian howitzer opening fire on Russian positions and causing large explosions as the vehicles are destroyed. It is currently unclear where exactly in Ukraine the images were filmed but the footage was obtained from the 59th Motorized Brigade - officially the 59th Yakiv Handziuk Independent Motorized Infantry Brigade - of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Monday, along with a statement saying: “The 59th Motorized Brigade restrains the offensive of the Axis troops in the south of Ukraine....

Krishnan Jayaraman, the victim of the abuse, began recording a man, identified as Punjabi-American Tejinder Singh, who was subjecting him to racially charged verbal abuse. It is implied that the onslaught began after Jayaraman ordered a bean burrito, a popular Taco Bell item used as a substitute for meat-based meals. Trigger Warning: Video contains abuse. Viewer discretion is advised. In response, the man began swearing at Jayaraman, saying that he would eat beef in front of the victim....

On Tuesday, November 15, as grief-stricken families of victims expressed their anguish, Darrell Brooks, seemingly bored, rolled his eyes during his sentencing hearing. Last month, a jury convicted the 40-year-old Wisconsin man of over 70 counts, including six counts of intentional homicide, which carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison. Brooks’ behavior during the hearing infuriated people on social media, with some praising the victim’s families for their courage when confronted with blatant disrespect during the hearing....

The main event of the Wednesday night show saw Jurassic Express defend their tag team championships against The Young Bucks. After a brutal ladder match, Matt & Nick Jackson defeated Luchasaurus & Jungle Boy to become two-time AEW Tag Team Champions. Post-match, WWE legend Christian Cage turned heel and laid out Jungle Boy with a con-chair-to. After Dynamite went off the air, Khan seemingly apologized for Captain Charisma’s actions....

Drew McIntyre faced the honorary Bloodline member at the Saturday Night’s Main Event show in Las Cruces, New Mexico, on June 11. The full results from the SmackDown-exclusive event can be found here. As the tweet below shows, Zayn landed a Superman Punch on McIntyre before sending him through a table with a spear. He also replicated the taunts that Reigns usually performs before delivering both moves. Unfortunately for Zayn, his version of Reigns’ famous offense did not lead to him picking up the win....
