In the last few months, we have learned that at least 300 employees at TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, previously worked for Chinese-controlled media—and some still do. Leaked audio from internal meetings showed that U.S. user data had been repeatedly accessed from CCP-controlled mainland China. And scarier still, a Chinese-based team planned to use TikTok to monitor the personal locations of certain American citizens. In 1950s Cold War America, the potential of a foreign communist government subverting and infiltrating American society was known as the “Red Scare....

“Individuals who refuse to get vaccinated will be subject to dismissal,” Inslee said. Only those with “legitimate medical reasons” or “sincerely held religious beliefs” will be exempt.

Aristotle’s precept on tragedy states that the protagonist of a particular tragic performance must be an admirable, yet flawed character; a very human personality, whom the audience can understand and sympathise with. If Shakespeare lived in our time and wrote an anguished account of Indian cricket, Wasim Jaffer would be his principal character. Jaffer exudes simplicity. His down-to-earth mannerisms have won over a great number of cricket enthusiasts, and that’s even before laying eyes on him when he wields the bat....

Microsoft acquired inXile Entertainment back in 2018, and two years later Wasteland 3 dropped with strong critical success. The asymmetric turn-based RPG takes place in an apocalyptic Colorado.

Oliveira can be seen in some arduous sparring in his gym against fellow trainees. The intensity of the training was very high.

Based on a video shared by Daily Mail (readers can watch the video here), the infamous Mahomes brother was unusually interested in his nose. The clip was only about ten seconds long, but it has opened a can of worms for a figure already at the center of so much negative energy. Here’s what a witness had to say: Of course, there are legal explanations as to why Jackson was “spaced out” and playing with his nose....

Man City favoured to win Premier League United’s pre-season tour of the United States has moved to DC for the upcoming International Champions Cup clash against Barcelona.

Rooney, who is in line to win his 120th and final international cap in Thursday’s friendly match with the United States at Wembley, was looking sharp during a training session at St. George’s Park on Monday.

The footage shows the two University of Idaho students talking as the man seemingly goes close to them, listens to their conversation and walks away. Just hours after the interaction, the two women as well as their 20-year-old housemates, Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle, were found dead inside their home....

Tuesday, a video allegedly captured a completely wild surgical moment and subsequently went viral. The footage captured a procedure to remove something from a woman’s throat. That “thing” was a four-foot-long snake that allegedly slithered into her open mouth while she was sleeping. The woman was allegedly brought to the hospital after becoming unconscious.

However, the new groom Ryan has a unique plan to make his wedding day even more interesting. Not only is he going to tie the knot with Clara, he’s not even planning to see her face until they get up to the altar—they’ll actually be making the journey to the altar completely blindfolded....

Late night talk show host Conan O’Brien agrees with that sentiment, if his recent Clueless Gamer episode is any indication. Joined by rap artist Lil Wayne and the titular skateboarding legend, Tony Hawk himself, Conan tries out some of the game modes in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5, which offer a sneak peek into what fans can expect when the game drops early next week. While the punk rock infused soundtrack for the game has to be muted due to copyright reasons, players otherwise are in for a genuine Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 treat if they tune in to the Clueless Gamer video....

There’s a distinct difference. A rapper is an anyone who grabs a microphone and says whatever’s on his or her mind with some sort of rhythmic cadence. An emcee has a mastery of the English language and is capable of moving the crowd in a vein similar to the greats such as Rakim, Nas, Jay Z, etc. Now, we’re not putting Lillard on that level by any stretch of the imagination, but the boy has proven he’s got bars that can make you dance or think....

It’s a unique solution to a gameplay-centric problem....
