Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell scored 71 points on Monday night and he got some help from Spider-Gwen to get it. During a game against the Chicago Bulls, the Spider-Man fan dazzled the crowd in some new Adidas tennis shoes themed after the arachnid hero. Phil Lord, producer of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse noticed the homage on Twitter and fans of the Marvel character took notice.

Positive and Negative Feedback Homeostasis By: BD Editors Last Updated: April 15, 2018 Homeostasis refers to the steady state of internal conditions maintained by living organisms. Humans have control centers in the brain and other parts of the body that constantly monitor conditions like temperature, pressure, and blood and tissue chemistry.

Arizona is a pretty young state; it was the 48th and last of the contiguous states to join the Union.

Utah is an amazing place, and Utahns are quite possibly the best humans on the planet. But…we have our eccentricities. Some of our weirdness is good (Iceberg shakes, for instance), and some of it is charming, but some of Utah’s unique features are downright confusing. Here are 16 questions you can only answer properly if you’re from Utah. Why is there a toddler at this late night, R-rated movie? Bridget Coila/flickr We have a lot of kids here in Utah, and I suppose some parents become accustomed to dragging them along wherever they go....

Here are 17 terrifying things in South Carolina that can, and just might, kill you....

Stranger Things season 4 delivered some of the best television of the year, and now the world waits to see how the series will bring things to a close in season 5.

God of War Ragnarok is reportedly such a titan of a game, that other studios are moving out of its way and delaying their titles. God of War Ragnarok is easily one of the most anticipated titles on the horizon and is one of the games expected to be in the awards race at the end of 2022. The game was announced in 2020, just over two years after its predecessor was released, and was marketed as a key title for the then-upcoming PlayStation 5....

Head of Xbox Phil Spencer has responded to PlayStation’s extremely vocal concerns about what could happen if Call of Duty became exclusive to the Microsoft-owned platform. In case you have somehow missed it, Microsoft announced it will be acquiring Activision for nearly $70 billion, meaning it would take on franchises like Call of Duty as first-party titles.
