On Monday afternoon in his office at Milwaukee’s spring training facility in Maryvale, Brewers manager Craig Counsell made it official: Moustakas will be his club’s starting second baseman this season. It’s not a surprise, of course. That was the intention when the Brewers brought the man known best as Moose back to Milwaukee on a one-year free-agent deal, and it’s not like the career third baseman had done anything this spring to show he wasn’t capable of making the switch to second base....

Sixth seed Konta finds herself the sole focus of the home nation’s hopes a day after men’s defending champion Andy Murray’s painful quarter-final exit. In what promises to be a clash of the power servers, Konta will seek to become the first Briton since Virginia Wade in 1977 to reach the grasscourt grand slam final. Five-time winner Williams, 37 and seeded 10, will be aiming for her ninth Wimbledon singles final, and victory on Saturday would make her the oldest women’s grand slam champion since tennis turned professional....

Nowadays, he’s one of the first subs off the bench for the Washington Wizards in their Eastern Conference first-round series against the Toronto Raptors. Lawson is hardly the only player who went from not having a spot on an NBA roster to getting some run, and maybe even filling a key role, during these playoffs. As much as teams develop plans for acquiring talent via the draft, free agency or trades, sometimes a late pickup can become a piece that completes the puzzle....

Maya Moore, though, says that nothing came too easily for the Lynx. "That's what a championship is supposed to be," she said. "It's supposed to be hard, and when it got hard, we came together and stuck with it and secured that victory. I'm just really proud." Moore scored 23 points, Rebekkah Brunson had 15 points and 12 rebounds and the Lynx beat the Dream 86-77 on Thursday night to win their second WNBA title in three years....

Grandma Jan and her wife Grandma Linda live together in Ontario, Canada, as part of a family of eight women that includes Linda’s daughter Karen and granddaughter Madison. They regularly post videos to TikTok under the profile of “Canada’s Gayest Family,” with their clips accumulating more than two million likes and over 140,000 followers. However, it’s one of their latest videos, in which Jan opens up about the experience of finally being able to describe Linda as her wife, that has been attracting attention online....

The woman went to the movies with Kohberger after matching with him on the dating app, she said in a TikTok video posted on Monday, which has since been viewed more than a million times. “We matched on Tinder. We talked for a couple hours and then he was like, ‘Hey, you want to go to the movies with me tonight?’ I was like, sure. So we went to the movies....

Ali Skipper, who lives in Orlando, told WOFL she believed the previous resident of the home left the snake behind when they moved out. If that’s the case, the snake has likely been in the house for a few weeks and she suspected the snake had been living under her fridge, since it was there before she moved in. “There is a snake in my 2nd story bathroom!!!” she wrote in a post to a private Facebook group for nearby residents, according to screenshots of the post....

The woman, estimated to be in her 40s, entered the building and started cursing when she saw the long line and insisted on being next in line. Patricia Zick, who was inside the DMV at the same, says the gunwoman claimed she needed to be served immediately because “the president’s security was in danger.” “Something was wrong, I don’t know what it is—drugs, mental or whatever,” Zick told the Kansas City Star....

The meme takes another variation of a classic: one person explaining something into the ear of another bored-looking person. Unlike its predecessors, this one features a woman explaining to a man. Just like other similar memes, it’s always paired with text, imagining what topic the girl is attempting to discuss in the ear of the uninterested male: from star signs to film plots and the Titanic ending scene. “Bro I’m telling you, a Gemini cannot date a Scorpio, they’re incompatible when Venus aligns with Saturn bro, it emits a toxic aura bro,” envisioned one version of the meme....

The reader wrote into Newsweek to describe why not splitting the bill ruined her relationship, she said: “I was seeing a guy and things started out OK. Then it became a 50/50 sort of who pays at meals. But it soon became 60/40 then it was ‘I forgot my wallet’ every time we went out. “The clincher was when he bought takeout meals for himself and his grown daughter and left me hungry....

Vos ordered an investigation last year to determine if there were any instances of voter fraud that led to unlawfully altering the 2020 presidential election in Wisconsin in favor of current president Joe Biden. The investigation is being conducted by former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, and formal findings have not been released. Angela Joyce, a spokeswoman for Vos, said that the speaker hoped Gableman will provide findings and recommendations by the end of January or the beginning of February in order for new voting legislation to be passed during the current legislative session....

The Badgers (15-9, 7-4) hit 12 3-pointers on the road to upset Maryland 70-57. Vitto Brown led the team with a game-high 21 points with seven rebounds.

Line: Arizona -1.5, Total: 133.5 (current Elite Eight spreads and totals) The Badgers (33-3, 18-17-1 ATS) won 64-63 in overtime last year as 3.5-point dogs, reaching their first Final Four since 2000, as Frank Kaminsky had 28 points and 11 rebounds. “It’s going to be a great game,” Arizona coach Sean Miller told reporters after his team ousted Xavier 68-60. “We, like I said, respect Wisconsin. “Not just because we lost to them in last year’s Elite Eight....

The City of Oconomowoc Police Department said they received a call of a possible industrial accident on Tuesday night around 10:30 p.m., but learned “quickly” that it was no an industrial play and foul play was involved. “Squads from the City of Oconomowoc responded to the scene and located a patient who was pulseless and not breathing. A short time later, a second patient was located who was also pulseless and not breathing....

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was critically acclaimed for its narrative, gameplay, and open world. As a result expectation for the developer’s future releases is incredibly high. While some fans of the developer are concerned about its next release, Cyberpunk 2077, delivering a game that all players enjoy, it seems that many are looking forward to a new open-world title. With this positive feeling surrounding the developer, it has been announced that the company is the most valuable solely European based video-game company....

Witchfire’s developer, The Astronauts, has been updating fans on the game since 2020. The first updates involved improvements to combat sessions, testing out arenas, and making sure it wasn’t too easy or difficult for players. The developers came across a snag with lighting issues, which stalled the process but managed to release some new screenshots of the game with a playtest to follow shortly after. In June of this year, they released a trailer and announced their Early Access release details at Summer Game Fest....

The announcement regarding the change of date was agreed upon by both South American sides, Fepafut said on Thursday. The match will still be played in the Maracana Stadium, in Panama’s capital, as previously arranged.

Democrats like former Texas candidate for U.S. Senate Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez argue that O’Rourke won the debate — in the eyes of those who saw it. But many in Texas were not watching the debate at 7 p.m. on a Friday night. O’Rourke has also consistently trailed Abbott throughout the race, with recent polls showing him down seven to eight points. That only adds to the sense of urgency for Democratic organizers and advocates, who see a Texas where the rules are stacked against them unless O’Rourke is able to come from behind and win....

The most notable example happened in April 2018 with @PitchingNinja , a Twitter account owned by Rob Friedman that shows clips of pitches thrown by MLB hurlers that dip and dive and move in jaw-dropping fashion. The wildly popular and quickly growing account — it had nearly 50,000 followers at the time — was shut down by Twitter after MLB filed a Digital Millennium Copyright Act complaint . Why in the world would MLB want to shut down a Twitter account that was doing nothing but promoting one specific exciting element of its product?...
