“Guardians of the Galaxy will be a flop.” I'm a Senior Staff Writer based in New York City, where I've been covering classic BuzzFeed-style content since 2020. Manson's ex-fiancée, Evan Rachel Wood, accused him in 2021 of sexual assault and abuse. Other women quickly came forward with their own allegations against Manson, though he denied them all. Manson sued Wood for defamation but later dropped the lawsuit. He was investigated by the LAPD, but no criminal charges were filed. He was also sued in civil court by multiple accusers, with the cases either getting dismissed, dropped, or settling, though one assault suit that was initially dismissed was reopened earlier this year (Manson has denied the assault occurred). McMahon did not face charges for accusations of attempting to cover up sexual misconduct with employees after a federal investigation. A lawsuit from a former employee alleging sexual battery and trafficking recently moved into private arbitration; McMahon has denied the allegations. Majors was dropped following a domestic violence-related assault conviction. After an investigation concluded Cuomo had sexually harassed female staffers, Cuomo said that in his mind, he "never crossed the line with anyone," and that he didn't find the report completely "credible" or "factual." However, he did apologize for some of his behavior, including using pet names and inadvertently making women uncomfortable, and said he was stepping down to "let government get back to governing." "I don't believe that phone books, newspapers, magazines, or corner video stores will disappear as computer networks spread. Nor do I think that my telephone will merge with my computer, to become some sort of information appliance." "I suspect Big Brother won't have an easy time tracing us. … Our privacy will be protected, as it always has been, by simple obscurity and the high cost of uncovering information about us." "What will the electronic book look like? Some sort of miniature laptop computer, I'd guess. We'll download selections and page through them electronically. Try reading electronic books. They're awful." "When high-bandwidth links allow every home to access animated, talking, holographic computerized encyclopedias, I can't help thinking that kids still won't use 'em." "Video-on-demand, that killer application of communications, will remain a dream." "It's easy to make fancy home pages on the World Wide Web. But jumping from one document to another baffles me even more than watching someone channel surf. I'm never certain of my location in a twisty maze of cross-references." "Why not send a fax? It's far more universal than e-mail — we not only find fax machines everywhere, but they can all speak to one another. … I find it easier [than e-mail] to just scribble a note on a plain piece of paper and send it over a fax. Or address an envelope, lick a stamp, and mail the letter." The WWE's CCO, Paul Levesque, stated that an investigation found no evidence of misconduct. Dream (aka Patrick Clark Jr.) also denied the accusations. Shortly after the scandal, Clark Jr. was absent from matches for several months; Levesque stated he'd had a car accident and was recovering. Clark Jr. returned to fighting, but the number of matches he fought in dwindled, and he was dropped by WWE in 2021. His career fizzled, and his reputation never recovered. While he later returned to wrestling in the independent circuit, he has not played many matches.
