His work has been seen on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, which very seldom mentions golf, but Fallon recognizes a good laugh when he see’s one. MORE: Players Championship leaderboard | Rory downplays rivalry talk with Spieth Wednesday afternoon at TPC Sawgrass, Watson was walking the autograph line signing as many as possible without looking up, as usual. Hadley, a fellow pro ranked No. 107 in the world, played a giddy fan wearing his golf hat backwards....

Two producers are raising startup money for their first movie with an online Bitcoin campaign. The team hopes to cover all expenses and maybe make a little seed money for their next project by selling NFTs based on their feature film, The Underground Sistine Chapel. The 80-minute film is scheduled to open June 25 at the Grand Rex in Paris, after which the producers will make it available for free on Youtube and the InterPlanetary File System, a peer-to-peer network....

Professor Michael Sweet, who teaches at the University of Derby in Derby, England, shared his theory in a viral Twitter thread on April 8. “Back in the day, travelers/explorers would draw what they saw,” he explained in a post with over 95,000 likes. “This is where many sea monster stories come from.” Sweet went on to explain that sailors glimpsed “tentacled and alienesque appendages emerging from the water” that led them to imagine a sinister creature lurking beneath the surface....

American University history professor Allan Lichtman, who forecast Trump’s election win two months before the fact, told MSNBC yesterday that Democrats would never have taken the impeachment process this far if they were not confident of passing articles of impeachment against the president. Speaking on the Weekends with Alex Witt show, the historian also said Democrats had “helped themselves” and “diminished” Trump’s chances of being reelected in 2020 by launching an impeachment inquiry....

The game was initially set for Thursday, July 6, but has been rearranged due to conflcting schedules at the venue. Messi to sign new Barca deal after honeymoon Kenny Miller’s first-half strike was enough for the Scottish Premiership giants to secure victory at Ibrox in the first leg and Pedro Caixinha will be keen for his side to finish the job in Luxembourg. A clash against either Cypriot outfit AEL Limassol or Gibraltar’s St Joseph’s awaits the winner in the second qualifying round....

As the process ground on last week, the example of the exhausted eccentric edging toward consensus came to symbolize the oddities of the larger health-care debate. Every grasping member was suddenly an unpredictable health-care philosopher, a Moynihan manque. Bob Dole, confronted with the fact that he no longer favors covering everyone, was acting as if the president’s bottom line were an epistemological issue (What is life? What is truth? What is “universal”?...

The former vice president’s apparent margin of victory is not all that large. At the time this was written it was about 6 million votes out of about 150 million cast. That works out to about 4 percent and could, depending on recounts, slip lower. In the states that appear to be making the difference—Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin—Biden’s lead is extremely narrow, much as Trump’s was when he defeated former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton to win the White House in the first place....

Biden has faced criticism from Republicans and progressives within his own party. On the eve of his 100th day as president, Democratic Representative Jamaal Bowman of New York advised Biden to “think bigger.” Delivering the progressive response on behalf of the Working Families Party to Biden’s joint address of Congress, Bowman outlined the progressive agenda to address structural racism, climate change, police brutality, and inequality in America. Bowman highlighted six specific pieces of legislation that Congress must pass, including H....

We are actually just four months away from the Gold Cup kicking off and while Klinsmann doesn’t have to settle on his starting lineup in the next few days, it isn’t too early to start considering the possibilities. The team’s friendlies to start the year helped offer some insight into possible new options for Klinsmann, but the start of the MLS season, and the two friendlies in Europe later this month, should help bring his best side into focus....

As is typical for a prize fight featuring a heavy favorite, nearly all the early betting action is coming in on underdog Marcos Maidana for his rematch this Saturday against Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas. Mayweather, still undefeated at 46-0, opened at -800 odds at William Hill sports book when the fight was announced in July, with Maidana offered at +550. Money on the underdog has prompted a move in the line to Mayweather -750/ Maidana +525....

This class of medication stops the activity of proteasome, a protein associated with digesting unusable cellular waste products, which in turn can kill the cancer cells. Often used in conjunction with other medications, there are three such drugs currently in use: Velcade (bortezomib), Krypolis (carfilzomib), and Ninlaro (ixazomib). Multiple myeloma patients are usually delivered these drugs intravenously or via injection as part of their treatment plan, though a newer, oral form of this medication is now available....

Biden’s decision on Saturday to recognize the events—beginning in 1915—that killed roughly 1.5 million Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire, now Turkey, as a calculated ethnic cleansing prompted outrage from Turkish citizens and officials. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the move damaged relations between the two allies. “We believe the expressions in the statement were included with the pressure of radical Armenian and anti-Turkish groups, but this situation does not resolve the destructive effects it has on bilateral relations,” Erdogan said in a Monday speech....

Proud Boys Enrique Tarrio, Joe Biggs, Dominic Pezzola, Zachary Rhel and Ethan Nordeen are on trial for rarely-used seditious conspiracy charges over their alleged involvement in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Their own seditious conspiracy trial comes several weeks after the founder and another leader in a separate far-right group, the Oath Keepers, were convicted of seditious conspiracy for their roles in the Capitol attack. Additionally, a Washington D....

Philip Anderson, of the Team Save America group, was injured during the rally against “Twitter and Big Tech” at the United Nations Plaza on Saturday, October 17. The event was shut down by police after counter-protesters and antifa began throwing missiles, such as glass bottles, at those taking part in the rally. Among the crowd at the rally were those linked to far-right groups such as the Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer, as well as people who attended the deadly “Unite the Right” white supremacist march in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017....

“I’ve been lucky my whole life,” Ed Cooley said. He has been lucky enough in the past five months to win 86 percent of the games he has coached for the Providence Friars, to receive top-10 rankings in the Associated Press poll, to win a Big East championship that, quite fortunately, was clinched at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center so the team’s wonderfully maniacal student fans could join the celebration on the floor with the players who did the hardest work....

Handsome Stanley has the features of a lovable golden, but the black-and-white colorings of a husky, his owner, named Trish, revealed in a TikTok video. Trish uploaded a clip to her account, @trishtaylor22, last week, where she asked viewers: “Have you ever wondered what a Siberian husky golden retriever mix would look like?” The camera pans to Stanley, who Trish, thought to be based in Canada, describes as “monochromatic.”...

Dershowitz called for the unsealing of the affidavit during an episode of his podcast released on Thursday and referred to special warrants required to search medicine cabinets and safes. The former president’s safe was reportedly searched during the FBI raid at his residence in Palm Beach, Florida as part of an investigation into the handling of White House documents. Dershowitz, who was part of Trump’s legal team during his first impeachment in 2020, discussed the opening of Trump’s safe and reports that “nothing was in there....

The fire was reported at China Mall in West Street in Durban’s central business district, shortly after 10:00 a.m. Friday, according to EMER-G-MED spokesperson Kyle van Reenen. Van Reenen said 13 people had been injured and that many of them were Chinese nationals. The injured have been treated for their injuries, which range from minor to moderate, at nearby hospitals, van Reenan confirmed. Two fire engines are at the scene, he added....

But for other kids, thinking about seemingly mundane and harmless cartoons haunt them to this day, even in adulthood. A recent Reddit “Ask Me Anything” has gone viral for posing the question, “What animated film traumatized you as a child?” One commenter, RmmThrowAway, took great issue with The Brave Little Toaster, an animated musical from 1987 that follows the lives of five anthropomorphic household appliances looking for their owner. “I sincerely believe Brave Little Toaster created a lot of hoarders,” the user said plainly....

The group arrived to the metro area on Saturday after traveling across the country from southern California to protest pandemic restrictions near the nation’s capital. The convoy initially planned to block the beltway on Sunday morning by driving almost 25 miles slower than the speed limit on the road, but standard traffic blocked the group from doing so just after a single lap, according to the Daily Beast’s Zachary Petrizzo....
