Sound offensive? It should. Yet here we are, dealing with government-mandated tokenism in the name of social justice and racial equity from the state of California. As is so often the case, this latest move amounts to condescending pandering from politicians who want to be literal white knights coming to the rescue. Under a newly signed corporate diversity law, California-based corporations are mandated to add a member from an “underrepresented community” to their boards....

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are reportedly close to sealing a £20million (€21.9m) move for the Italy striker, who confirmed on Monday he is swapping San Siro for Molineux. Cutrone, 21, looked at home when he broke into Gennaro Gattuso’s side two seasons ago, scoring 18 goals in all competitions. Fewer starting chances resulted in a less prolific second campaign in 2018-19 and a switch to England now beckons. “Reading all the messages from the fans made me emotional,” Cutrone told reporters....

Wolves played to a 1-1 draw with Farense in their final friendly before the start of the Premier League season, with the club alleging after the match that the South Korean was subjected to abuse from the home supporters.

Posting in Reddit’s “Am I The A**hole” (AITA) forum under the username u/Energetic_Hyena6965, the woman said her co-worker, Anne, fell asleep during their lunch break but failed to set her alarm. Redditor u/Energetic_Hyena6965 also said she neglected to wake Anne up on her way back to work, so Anne ultimately received a “warning” from their boss. The post has amassed over 11,000 upvotes and roughly 2,600 comments from Redditors who said Anne needs to learn how to manage her pregnancy fatigue....

Margaret Bullimore got up early one morning and was met with a rude awakening upon stepping out onto her patio. A rattlesnake, both common to Arizona but still a danger to humans, was slithering in her space. “I got to say I panicked,” Bullimore told ABC15. “I didn’t know what to do.” She called the chain pest control company Orkin, which she had used in the past, but was told they do not handle snakes and instead was directed to reach out to a company called Critter Control....

The woman, who was only identified by her first name Noel in local reports, lives in Stafford County, Virginia, and was already several days past her due date when around a foot of snow fell in her area last Monday. Her husband, Kris, had spent the early afternoon trying to clear the driveway and their small, dead-end street, cutting and shoveling away branches to make sure they could get out if the baby—their fourth—was to arrive....

Schmitt was charged with three counts of child pornography possession two months ago, to which he has pleaded not guilty, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. The resignation comes after months of Schmitt ignoring calls for him to step down, further aggravating those who wanted him removed from the position. Earlier Monday, Kevin Nicholson, a Republican candidate for governor of Wisconsin, even sent a letter to Governor Tony Evers trying to speed up the process of his ousting, the Journal Sentinel added....

There are many characters to imagine but a select few are likelier than others for reasons relating to the novels. The way they were released has an influence on the story of the Netflix show. Note: This article contains spoilers for Netflix’s The Witcher. RELATED: The Witcher’s Jaskier Wants Fans to See the Show’s Blooper Reel The first season of Netflix’s The Witcher featured many of the same story beats primarily found within the first two novels of The Witcher series (technically the first two entries are collections of stories whereas the rest of the series is made up of novels)....

If there ever were a perfect summer read, Big Summer is it. Did you set out to be the queen of the summer read? My previous book was Mrs. Everything, which was a historical novel that took place over 70 years and had this very intricate timeline. When I finished that book, I said, ‘I want to do something fun.’ I want to do something that takes place over a long weekend at a beach, and it’s going to be a girl who gets a happy ending....

She’s right. More than 2,700 cases of COVID-19 have now been reported among the nation’s immigrant detainees, along with 45 more among ICE employees. Detainees describe a lack of access to basic hygiene products, like hand soap and disinfectant, even while they continue living in exceptionally tight quarters. Family detention facilities have seen their first cases. Now the Trump administration and ICE will have to determine how to best comply with Gee’s order....

Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota took advantage of the Buckeyes’ fourth turnover by laying a perfect pass to Byron Marshall for a 70-yard touchdown. That could’ve been the signature moment of a near-flawless season if the Ducks rallied for the win. Instead, Ohio State Joey Bosa buried Mariota’s shoulder into the AT&T Stadium turf about an hour later, and the Buckeyes dispatched the Ducks 42-20 in the first College Football Championship game....

He represented the heartbeat of the Nick Saban dynasty before he was hired away from Alabama by Georgia coach Kirby Smart on Monday. He served as Alabama’s strength coach for the last 13 years, and he famously proclaimed before the Georgia game in 2008 that the Bulldogs were wearing black because they were going to a funeral. The Crimson Tide led that game 31-0 at halftime en route to a 41-30 victory....

The biggest name is Sabrina Ionescu, the Oregon junior who is projected to be the top overall pick in several mock drafts. Ionescu said after the Ducks’ Elite Eight win she still has “no idea” if she’ll enter the draft, but she did register for classes in spring, giving some hope to the Oregon fanbase that she’ll return to school. Even if Ionescu stays, there are plenty of other exciting prospects in this year’s WNBA Draft....

RELATED: Games That Birthed Genres With only five classes to choose from, many players will assume they are all relatively similar and that it doesn’t matter. However, it’s quite the opposite. Choosing the right class in Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is often the difference between success and failure so selecting the right one is vital. That being said, some classes are much better than others. 5 Soldier Choosing the right class for the player in this often challenging multiplayer game requires more than simply finding the best selection for the objective....

Wolfsburg are in poor form at the moment and are already looking forward to next season. They were beaten 6-1 by second-placed Borussia Dortmund last weekend, marking a third straight away defeat for Florian Kohfeldt’s men. The hosts sit 13th in the league table with 34 points from 30 games. They will look to return to winning ways this weekend as they look to cement their top-flight status. Mainz, meanwhile, are also struggling for form at the moment, with their European ambitions dwindling rapidly....

While it was later revealed that Griffin’s decision was tied to a back injury, the assumption from the jump was that the Timberwolves told Love to back out because of a possible to the Cleveland Cavaliers or elsewhere. Sports Illsutrated’s Chris Mannix confirmed that on SI Now, stating, “I know Minnesota did tell Kevin, “You know what? It’s probably best you not play for this team.” And Kevin wholeheartedly agreed with that sentiment....

The bad news for the Gunners is that they have not won the title when they have been top on December 25 on the previous five occasions when they have done so — but that will not deter the leaders from looking to at least retain their two-point advantage over second-placed Manchester City. Wolves are in a state of transition ahead of their final Premier League game before Julen Lopetegui takes charge at Molineux....

Posting to Mumsnet’s Am I Being Unreasonable? (AIBU) forum on 29 September, user ivegotthisyeah explained that she can’t afford to attend the overseas ceremony, but assumed her “better off” partner would pay for her.

Kansas City Police were dispatched to the home in Kansas City, Missouri at approximately 11:45 P.M. after 35-year-old Tasha Haefs called 911, court records show. On the phone, Haefs told police she believed “the devil was trying to attack her,” and denied having any mental illness before she hung up the phone, The Kansas City Star reported.
