Commenting on a story about how bedbugs had infested The New York Times newsroom, Karpf quipped on Monday, “The bedbugs are a metaphor. The bedbugs are Bret Stephens.” What Stephens did in response to the tweet, which didn’t even tag him, shows his entitlement, as well as the double standard that exists in many newsrooms. He did not just reply to it. Instead, he chose to use his position as a New York Times columnist to attack Karpf....

“It felt like it,” Hedman said after his Lightning lost 2-1 to Shaw and the Blackhawks in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. “I have a little bruise so maybe.” MORE: Biting in hockey | Teuvo Teravainen steals show in Game 1 The NHL Department of Player Safety reviewed the incident but didn’t find any evidence. When you watch the video, that becomes understandable; there’s no real way to discern what happens when one guy’s face is buried in another guy’s armpit, and no amount of camera angles can change that....

Why U.S. Soccer would make such a late, meager attempt to win a public relations battle in which it already had been routed is difficult to say. Cordeiro had been on the stage in front of New York’s City Hall just three weeks earlier. He was greeted, upon being introduced, by the “Equal pay!” chant he surely had heard from the audience in Lyon moments after the United States Women’s national team had won its fourth FIFA Women’s World Cup title....

Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) has admitted that it accepted a driver which included a malicious Rootkit Malware that was exchanging data with command-and-control (C2) servers in China. It seems certain malicious actors have tricked the Redmond giant into signing a Netfilter Driver which was designed to target gaming environments. The driver was used to hide the geolocation of the player and play from any region. The first instance of this malware was identified by Karsten Hahn, a malware analyst at German cybersecurity company G Data....

Because SACS is an acronym that is not universally known, because it is engaged in the area of higher education and not operating one of America’s most popular sporting events, its action was not widely acknowledged or understood. But for one of the nation’s top 30 universities to have its accreditation placed under this degree of scrutiny is like having the bank threaten to foreclose on your home if you’re late on one more payment....

MORE: Every team’s NBA Draft regret | Most hated NBA players Azalea said the relationship is over because she’s no longer able to trust Young. Young’s indiscretions were made public this spring when a video shot by his Lakers teammate, D’Angelo Russell, showed Young talking about his escapades outside their relationship. The two were engaged on Azalea’s 30th birthday in April, but obviously that is off. MORE: Most iconic sports jersey in every city...

Soon Your Art Will Sing to You Details are scarce, but The Verge claims to have seen early images of a new wall-mounted artwork speaker with the codename “Titan.” At first glance, the new speaker would likely look like any other artwork available from Ikea, with the speaker hidden behind the canvas. There are currently no details on whether you’ll be able to switch out the piece of art covering the speaker, how large the new product will be, or any kind of pricing....

This is a phenomenally powerful machine, one that far outstrips the needs of all but a select few users. It is the first Apple ‘Pro’ product that really will only be purchased by professionals with the need for its high-end internals. Available with an already-insane eight cores up to an almost incomprehensible 18, this is the Mac upgrade the professional world has been clamouring for – except we probably all though it’d be in the form of a new Mac Pro, expected this year....

Grand Theft Auto and Spider-Man games are often modded when they make it to the PC platform, with modders adding things like a web-slinging Kermit the Frog to Marvel’s Spider-Man, and Motorhead’s Lemmy to GTA 5. Sometimes there’s overlap between games thanks to the creativity permitted with modding which can result in Spider-Man exploring GTA 5’s Los Santos or GTA San Andreas’ CJ being added to games like Yakuza and Stray....

Under the controversial program, formally known as the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), more than 60,000 asylum-seekers have been forced to wait in Mexican cities, in some cases for more than a year, while their immigration cases are processed in the U.S. However, in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, some could be waiting much longer, with the pandemic effectively putting the U.S. asylum system on hold. With many asylum-seekers forced to wait in cities known for high rates of violence and criminal activity, including kidnapping, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has accused the Trump administration of putting an already vulnerable group at further risk....

The debate continued, unresolved, until 1834, when England set a new course: it decided to stigmatize the able-bodied dependent poor. They would be deemed “less eligible” for assistance and called paupers. They would receive relief only if they worked for it, in a poorhouse. This “had a shock effect that was very real,” writes the historian Gertrude Himmelfarb in a new collection of essays, “The De-Moralization of Society.” The number of paupers “decreased substantially after the passage of the law....

Vaccines keep everyone safe from disease. Since new or better ones are always being developed, all of us (including adults) should check every year that our shots are up to date.

This article looks at the importance of immunizations for people with sickle cell disease. Why People With Sickle Cell Disease Are at Risk for Infections Sickle cell disease starts damaging the organs in the first year of life. One of the first organs affected is the spleen. The spleen is a small organ on the left side of the abdomen underneath the ribcage. The spleen filters the blood and removes old, damaged red blood cells....

Bruce wouldn’t stand for such accusations and said that both EC3 and Mathews consider everything to be a joke. The meeting was interrupted as Karen Jarrett walked in and requested for an in-ring meeting between with Siena during the latest episode. After she left, Borash mocked Mathews saying that he is not even the best commentator in his family. He added that he wants to file a motion to replace him on the commentary team, probably replacing him with his wife Madison Rayne as she is a far better commentator than Mathews....

Next, a recap of last week’s #1 Contenders match was played where Johnny Impact defeated Garza Jr and he will now face Eli Drake at Bound for Glory for the Global Championship. #1 Chris Adonis vs Johnny Impact Impact jumped right after the bell and knocked out Adonis with a boot to the face. He quickly followed it up by assaulting Adonis with a barrage of elbow strikes. Somehow, Adonis fought his way out of this and trapped Johnny in a body lock for a two-count....

The timeline starts the week before Thanksgiving when stars are teleported to Wrestle House by Rosemary at the request of John E. Bravo. The latter requested it to make his boss, Johnny Swinger, happy. The Demon Assassin accepted the request in exchange for Bravo’s soul. Swinger, however, wasn’t thrilled at the idea and tried to escape after which Rosemary reminded everyone that whoever tried to leave the Wrestle House would encounter their worst fear....

And yet the 37-year-old Miller remains in NBA purgatory, on the Nuggets' roster but not on the floor or even the bench in the wake of an all-too-public berating of coach Brian Shaw on Jan. 1. Miller was angry with Shaw for leaving him on the bench the entire game, the first DNP-CD of Miller’s career, and Miller was suspended for two games after his tirade. The Nuggets rescinded the suspension, but Miller remains away from the team....
