The problem the board and fans face is that the transitional period they are taking to make the squad competitive again is too long for their history and the glory which they have achieved in the past decade. People started to lose hope and think that those glory days are over, but the arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has certainly given them a glimmer of hope. Many United supporters could feel that it is too early to dream again, and understandably too....

Destiny 2 was released in 2017 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. New expansions regularly brought new content to the game, the latest one being The Witch Queen and its new weapon crafting feature. Destiny 2 launched on current-gen consoles in December 2020, bringing various graphical improvements in a free upgrade for all PS5 players. RELATED: Destiny 2 Teases Changes to Weapon Crafting Systems In its weekly blog post, Bungie reminded PS5 players to upgrade their version of Destiny 2....

That may take a while, since Tunisia’s GDP is a fraction of Microsoft’s market cap. Yet lofty ambition doesn’t seem totally out of place in a country of 10 million people that is defying the tragic decline of the Arab world, where vast oil wealth and billions in foreign aid have been squandered by corrupt and incompetent regimes. Alone among Arab states, Tunisia has made real progress building an economy based on resources other than oil....

Sadly, the name is not “All Takes Matter.” It’s called “Speaking For Yourself,” and it airs every weekday from 6 to 7 ET starting on June 13. Watch it five out of seven evenings for the rest of your life!

At midnight, all eyes turn to New York, to countdowns at Times Square or at the Janet Jackson concert at Madison Square Garden on MTV. The black-leather and navel-ring set will preen at The Tunnel, a newly reopened nightclub housed in a disused railroad passage. In Newark, N.J., a zircon-encrusted live audience will crowd the pay-per-view Miss Howard Stern Pageant to watch a panel of distinguished judges–including Heidi Fleiss, John Wayne Bobbitt and, via a jail-cell TV hookup, Joey Buttafuoco–award the coveted title....

Many Germans simply find Rust’s behavior bizarre. But there may be a reason: in Lefortovo, attorney Yitzhak Goldfine told Newsweek, interrogators gave him repeated doses of drugs–perhaps barbiturates–in effort to learn how he reached Red Square and if he had CIA ties (which he denies). Among the side effects, according to medical specialists for the defense: blackouts and bouts of aggression that can persist for years. “The truth,” said Goldfine, “is that Matthias was not entirely responsible for his actions....

The pace isn’t likely to slow down. After all, he’s emerged as a go-to litigator whenever some high-profile business brawl calls for some lawyerly help. In the three years since he left prestigious Cravath, Swaine & Moore in New York to start his own firm, his name has shown up in more places than the “Love Bug” computer virus. Boies not only does Windows, bluejeans and pricey art, but he and his partners have played a range of legal roles in everything from the big vitamin price-fixing case of last year to the merger of AOL-Time Warner to helping tech companies go public....

Nelson died of natural causes two years later–but police believe that at least five other geriatric San Franciscans weren’t so lucky. Officials say they were murdered by Bufford, her mother, Mary Steiner, and her longtime boyfriend, George Lama, in a lethal, decade-long variation on a ““sweetheart scam.’’ Prosecutors say that after romancing their victims, all lonely widowers, Bufford and her mother would cajole them into handing over cars, savings and homes....

The inside story of the case, as reconstructed by NEWSWEEK, goes back nine months and involves a delicate and highly unusual dance between Kaczynski’s brother and the FBI. Despite the fact that he and Ted had not seen each other in six years, David Kaczynski was tormented by the excruciating decision to turn his brother in. As NEWSWEEK sources told it, David began to suspect that his brother might be the Unabomer as early as July 1995....

Some plot threads have been left hanging for a while now, whereas others were simply used as Chekhov’s guns of sorts, creating these hints and references to events, places, and even characters that were never under the spotlight. Bungie mostly does this through lore tabs on weapons or other pieces of gear, as well as the lore books available throughout the game’s activities. Among these Chekhov’s guns that have yet to fire is a peculiar prophecy that has to do with Destiny 2’s Eliksni, and it’s one that would make for a great Game of Thrones-like space opera....

The former ROH tag team champ Romero is a star in Japan and Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer reports that he will be looking at a trainer role in the WWE. While this is the word, there is no confirming the rumour as of now. However it is to be noted that Romero was in attendance for one of the recent WWE NXT TV tapings from Full Sail University. It would be interesting to see another name attached to the list of the ex-NJPW stars in the pro-wrestling free agent market....

Moscow has a history of making enemies in Chechnya. The first time Russian tanks rumbled into the separatist republic, in 1994, they were forced to withdraw ingloriously 21 months later. As a face-saving measure, the two sides agreed to defer a decision on Chechen independence for five years. But after recent incursions into neighboring Dagestan, led by Islamic radicals in Chechnya, as well as four mysterious bombings of Russian apartment buildings, Moscow’s frustrated leaders lashed out....

But while the fight to establish the holiday is done, the fight for how to commemorate Juneteenth has just begun, requiring Black Americans to walk an all-too-familiar tightrope between erasure on one side and appropriation on the other. Whether it’s the meaning of a holiday or the mislabeling of critical race theory, conflicts over who gets to tell our national story reflect a basic truth: once we concede the role of race in our country and our institutions, we might actually be forced to change those institutions—and empower others to lead them....

However, if Insomniac’s series continues after Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and the pair of webslingers have some more adventures, bringing back Doctor Octopus would be a wise decision. Given how Otto Octavius’ story ends in the original game, there is more left to tell, and his return could build off the Superior Spider-Man comic book series. It would allow Insomniac to capture its original vision for the Doctor Octopus boss fight, while also introducing some Doc Ock-inspired suits and telling an emotional story that involves both Spider-Men....

The Jackson Pollock-ish photographs from Hubble show splotches and spirals, dwarfs and giants, footballs and drips. Some galaxies are dose by, others are unimaginably distant in space and therefore in time: even traveling at 186,000 miles per second, the light arriving at Hubble must have begun its journey from these deepest galaxies cons ago, bearing information about what the galaxy was like when the light began its journey. “We are clearly seeing some of the galaxies as they were more than 10 billion years ago,” says Williams....

Barring last-minute appeals, the state of Arkansas will execute three men for the Lehman murder this week. Scheduled to die by means of lethal injection are Darryl Richley, 43, Hoyt Clines, 37, and James Holmes, 37. Little-noticed in this crime-disgusted environment, it would be the first time since 1962 that a state has executed three people at once. Arkansas, no slouch in the assembly-line department, executed two men just this past May, the first multiple execution since capital punishment was resumed in 1977....

Mistwalker Studios might be an unfamiliar name to some, but it’s a successful studio in its own right. Headquartered in Honolulu, Mistwalker Studios was founded by video game titan Hironobu Sakaguchi. Sakaguchi was part of Square Enix until 2004, and while he was there, he was responsible for the invention of the Final Fantasy series and worked on many entries of the franchise up until his departure. It stands to reason that Mistwalker, a studio founded by a major developer of RPGs, is mostly known for its RPG content....

Alex McAulay’s A House On The Bayou is the first of eight films that is a collaboration between Blumhouse Television and EPIX. The film has a similar “isolation” trope used numerous times before but has a few unique twists and turns that make it differ from others. At the same time, it feels eerily similar to films such as Funny Games (1997) or The Strangers (2008), but this doesn’t make the movie any less entertaining....

The diminutive great found an able comrade in the form of Kumar Sangakkara. The sight of Kumar Sangakkara playing the cover drive with knees completely bent will be forever imprinted in cricket aficionados memory, it gave the impression as if his body was genuflecting to salute the poetry in motion. He was equally dexterous on home and away pitches owing to his impeccable technique, and those four consecutive centuries in this year’s World Cup were a testament to his class....

Because of the popularity of games like Grand Theft Auto 3 at the time, both Jak 2 and Jak 3 included open-world elements like driving, side missions, gunplay, and a talking lead protagonist. Prior to Jak 2, Jak was portrayed as a silent hero. This wasn’t bad because Daxter, his friend and partner, had more than enough dialogue to cover for the both of them. But since Naughty Dog was eager to up its storytelling chops, it gave Jak a voice to give him more character....
