Complaints have been made about various aspects of Switch Online, ranging from the number of available features to quality-of-life issues in general. Switch Online won’t start giving games for free, but there’s a chance other considerations will be made by Nintendo....

The defending champions have drawn their last three games and remain stuck in fourth place. They are four points off leaders Melbourne City, who also have a game in hand. With the league phase fast drawing to a close, Steve Corica’s side might not repeat last year’s feat, but are still in with a shout at retaining their Finals Series title, which they’re looking sure to qualify for. On the contrary, the Boys in Blue are second from bottom after a tough campaign, having racked up just 14 points from 17 games....

Zenit opened the scoring just before half-time, when Sardar Azmoun prodded home following a clever interchange on the edge of the penalty area. Lyon did level just after the break thanks to a Memphis Depay penalty, but it ultimately felt like a missed opportunity for the Ligue 1 side, as they dropped points at home in their Group G opener. Sylvinho – who was taking charge of a Champions League game for the first time – believes Lyon’s start to the game left them with an uphill task, even if Zenit did not break the deadlock until the 41st minute....

Akali is a ninja-like assassin from League of Legends, with her stats and storyline built around being a deadly killer with shurikens and knives. In 2018, Riot Games formed a virtual K-pop girl group, which included Akali and fellow champions Ahri, Evelynn, and Kai’Sa. This band, now called K/DA, became incredibly popular. There’s been themed skins, songs, and even merchandise of K/DA released. These all ended up being the catalyst for one commissioned Super Smash Bros....

Superman and Lois season 3 begins a few weeks after the defeat of Aly Alliston. Clark Kent and Lois Lane are now co-workers at the Smallville Gazzette, trying to maintain their quiet and simple lives. As Chrissy tries to juggle a new love romance and Lois’ friendship, it becomes painfully clear that Kent’s intimate relationship shows how alienating a secret can be.

“We are now able to demonstrate, for the first time, that primordial galaxies do have enough food in their environments to sustain both the growth of supermassive black holes and vigorous star formation,” lead author Emanuele Paolo Farina, of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany, said in a statement. “This adds a fundamental piece to the puzzle that astronomers are building to picture how cosmic structures formed more than 12 billion years ago....

The Inpatient was announced in a wicked first-person cinematic trailer that featured toe-tapping music coming from an old-school radio, a psychologist named Jefferson Bragg who looks almost too similar to Sigmund Freud, and a dated sanatorium that quickly turns from warmly lit and dusty to dark and menacing. Set in a 1950s mental asylum called the Blackwood Sanatorium, The Inpatient follows the eponymous character suffering from amensia as they either battle to break the chains that wrongfully bind them, or overcome the demons that truly plague them....

They’re the most recent cases that will put to the test former Justice Sandra Day O’Connor’s closing words in her Grutter v. Bollinger opinion in 2003, which came 25 years after the original affirmative action case—Regents of the University of California v. Bakke—back in 1978. “We expect that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today,” O’Conner wrote....

Erik “Marty” Martynuik said he went into the ocean on the western side of Bogue Banks Island on Wednesday around sunset and soon realized that he wasn’t alone.

I said ‘oh man, that thing’s coming right towards me,’” he told local media outlet WCTI12 in an interview that aired Thursday....

Suri started on the 10th and was one over for the day halfway through his round, but the American then hit top form on the front nine to complete a second successive 67 and reach 10 under. He picked up six shots in as many holes from the first, courtesy of four birdies and an eagle, before following up a bogey at the seventh with another gain on the ninth....

Just before 0900 hours, General MacArthur came aboard and met with Adms. [Chester] Nimitz and [William] Halsey. After a few handshakes among the officers who were there, they went up the ladder and into the captain’s cabin, the three of them, to converse. They weren’t in there too long, maybe five to 10 minutes, when the Japanese contingent came aboard: 11 of them. The officers were in those funny little felt hats they have with a peak....
