I need to focus on my health, first and foremost, and I’ll talk about that soon enough. Nothing crazy, but just like, you know, I want people to be healthy in life.”He then went on to talk a little bit about the health issue. "I’ve been having the craziest problems for years with my stomach. I’m just saying what it is," he continued. "So, I need to focus on my health and I need to get right, and I’m going to do that."Drizzy also explained there are "other things" that he would "love to focus on" as well, though he didn't elaborate on what those were.

Review: ‘Assassin’s Creed Mirage’ is a return to what made early games so great

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:33:52 GMT

When it comes to “Assassin’s Creed,” sometimes less is more. That’s how I felt over the past three iterations of the series that covered the Egyptian, Greek and the Viking civilizations. They were sprawling epics that pushed players to explore leagues of rolling hills, seascapes and deserts. They also required an inordinate amount of time to complete.Those titles took upward of 80 hours to see everything. In an effort to provide an open-world experience comparable to CD Projekt Red’s “The Witcher III: The Wild Hunt,” Ubisoft lost sight of what made “Assassin’s Creed” distinct. The latest entry, interestingly enough, began as downloadable content for “Assassin’s Creed Valhalla” but grew more ambitious into a standalone title.Planned for the 15th anniversary of the original’s launch, the setting could somehow tie into the first game and the beginning of the series. That’s how “Assassin̵...

For imprisoned Nobel laureates, the prize did not bring freedom

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:33:52 GMT

STOCKHOLM (AP) — The head of the Norwegian Nobel Committee urged Iran to release imprisoned peace prize winner Narges Mohammadi and let her accept the award at the annual prize ceremony in December.Such appeals have had little effect in the past.Mohammadi, an Iranian human rights activist, is the fifth peace laureate to get the prize while in prison or under house arrest.

Two of them remained in captivity until they died.Here’s a look at previous Nobel laureates who were in detention:CARL VON OSSIETZKYThe 1935 Nobel Peace Prize to German journalist Carl Von Ossietzky so infuriated Adolf Hitler that the Nazi leader prohibited all Germans from receiving Nobel Prizes.Ossietzky had been imprisoned for exposing secret plans for German rearmament in the 1920s.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:33:52 GMT

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan defendants accused of participating in a fake elector scheme will not have their charges dropped after the state attorney general said the group was “brainwashed” into believing former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election, a judge ruled Friday morning.The decision comes after motions to dismiss charges were filed last week by two defendants, Clifford Frost and Mari-Ann Henry. The two defendants are part of a group of 16 Michigan Republicans who investigators say met following the 2020 election and signed a document falsely stating they were the state’s “duly elected and qualified electors.” Each of the 16 faces eight criminal charges, including multiple counts of forgery.President Joe Biden won Michigan by nearly 155,000 votes, a result confirmed by a GOP-led state Senate investigation in 2021.Attorneys for the defendants argued the case should be thrown out before it began after Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said during a Sept. 18 virt...
