☆ Here's how a Trump indictment would play out: Yes, he'll be fingerprinted. No, he probably won't be handcuffed.
  + stars: | 2023-03-15 | by ( Laura Italiano | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +12 min
Here are predictions for how this historic event would roll out, courtesy of some of Manhattan's top defense lawyers, former high-ranking prosecutors, and a retired Secret Service special agent. "They can tell the foreperson come back two weeks from Wednesday, or something," to sign the revised indictment, Florence said. There can always be a leak, of course, somewhere between indictment and arraignment, which is the court proceeding where Trump would plead not guilty. But even if Trump does need to surrender in person, Secret Service would likely give the perp walk a hard pass. "That walk is not going to happen," said Pickle, the former Secret Service special agent.
☆ Oscar host Jimmy Kimmel hails movie-going rebound, cracks wise about 'the slap'

LOS ANGELES, March 12 (Reuters) - Comedian Jimmy Kimmel, returning for a third stint as Oscar host, led a back-to-basics show on Sunday that sought to celebrate a moviegoing rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic while avoiding the kind of unscripted outburst that marred the 2022 telecast. "We know this is a special night for you," Kimmel told the crowd of Hollywood luminaries. Kimmel, who was cheekily promoted ahead of Sunday's telecast as an "unflappable, unslappable" Oscar host, then went on to give a mock recitation of "strict policies in place" to prevent a repeat of last year's incident. "If anything unpredictable or violent happens during the ceremony, just sit there and do what you did last year, nothing," Kimmel added. It was a departure from many years in which relatively little-seen, but critically acclaimed, films have dominated the Academy Awards.
☆ Bernie Sanders says he 'never received so much attention' as his 'weird' viral mittens meme moment

Sanders wrote that "it got weirder" a few days later when he started seeing memes of himself across the globe. In more than 50 years of public life, Sanders wrote that he "never received so much attention." The ever-rumpled Sanders wrote that Vermonters are "a practical and functional people" who try to stay warm. The "warm Vermont coat" that he wore to President Joe Biden's inauguration, he wrote, was the only coat he had in Washington. Sanders wrote that the photo created "a lot of smiles," but also allowed him to raise funds for organizations serving low-income Vermonters.
☆ Santa Claus undaunted by arctic blast, U.S. military says

Corporal Rob Ouellette/Canadian Forces/Handout via REUTERSDENVER, Dec 24 (Reuters) - U.S. military officials have assured anxious children the arctic blast and snowstorm that wreaked havoc on U.S. airline traffic this week will not prevent Santa Claus from making his annual Christmas Eve flight. The Santa tracker tradition originated from a 1955 misprint in a Colorado Springs newspaper of the telephone number of a department store for children to call and speak with Santa. U.S. and Canadian fighter jet pilots provide a courtesy escort for him over North America, and Santa slows down to wave to them, he added.

☆ Obama slams Herschel Walker for musing if it's better to be a vampire or a werewolf: 'He can be anything he wants to be except for a United States senator'

Walker mused during a speech whether he would want to be a vampire or a werewolf. "I don't know if you know, but vampires are some cool people, are they not?" "This would be funny if he wasn't running for Senate," Obama said. Obama wanted to make sure that people knew Walker ultimately decided that he would be a werewolf. "As far as I'm concerned, he can be anything he wants to be besides a United States senator," he said.
☆ Hugh Jackman to reprise Wolverine role in next ‘Deadpool’ film
  + stars: | 2022-09-27 | by ( Sandra Gonzalez | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
CNN —Ryan Reynolds just broke some Hugh-ge news in the movie world. The actor announced on Tuesday that Hugh Jackman will be reprising his role as Wolverine in the next “Deadpool” film, slated for September 6, 2024. “Yeah, sure, Ryan,” Jackman replies nonchalantly. Deadpool was introduced in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” in 2009, but totally different than the smart-alecky take of the stand-alone movies. The duo’s team up will mark the third film in the wildly successful “Deadpool” franchise, which included two films released in 2016 and 2018.
☆ Tech leaders dish on how asinine it is to try to describe their companies, products, and worth to Congress
  + stars: | 2022-09-21 | by ( Hanna Kang | Kayla Gallagher | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +24 min
Tech companies are worried an aging Congress can't meet or even understand their demands. Younger members of Congress are beginning to take the lead in conversations on tech issues. Hawley said younger members are generally more critical of big tech. However, he added, new technologies are more widely used by younger people, and users tend to understand technology better. Meanwhile, major tech companies continue to ramp up their federal lobbying spending, together spending more in 2021 than in any other year in history.
