Jackson is expected to deliver an opening statement late on Monday, before answering questions from the committee over the next two days. Her testimony will give many Americans their most detailed look at a nominee with a legal background that includes a stint as a federal public defender—a role that none of the current justices has on their resume. But in many ways, Jackson had a similar education and career path to the court’s other justices, before President Joe Biden nominated her to take the seat of Justice Stephen Breyer, who has announced he will retire this summer....

Lavapotion began its work with just four individuals aiming to create a strategy game inspired by 90s classics like Heroes of Might and Magic, Age of Wonders, and King’s Bounty. Not only that, Lavapotion has depicted its fantasy world in “high-definition” 2.5D pixel art akin to Square Enix’s HD-2D titles Octopath Traveler and Triangle Strategy. Lead game designer Carl Toftfelt said it has been hard to find a balance, but that the work “has been exciting....

Currently, Liverpool is leading City by two points with the latter having a game in hand. In the case where both teams win all their remaining games, the Citizens may lift the trophy for the second season in a row.

How long it takes to beat Psychonauts 2 depends on the playstyle of a given player. It also depends on whether the player has gone through the game before or if it is a blind playthrough. Knowing how the game is structured will always change how long it takes to beat it. However, the largest factor is whether or not players decide to explore everything at a given level. Completionist runs tend to change how long it takes to beat a game....

While an average Naughty Dog game typically takes about 10-15 hours to complete, The Last of Us Part 2 takes between 25-30 hours to beat. Players that choose to explore every nook and cranny are in for a real treat with the game, as the developers have made sure to offer plenty to discover around every corner.

Edmonton Oilers coach Dave Tippett told media hours prior to Sunday’s game against the LA Kings that McDavid would return to the lineup after a two-week absence. It was Feb. 11 when GM Ken Holland delivered the news that the Oilers’ star forward would be missing time with a quad injury. “He’s going to be out two to three weeks; we’re hoping less than that,” Holland told the media. “It’s the left leg, totally unrelated to the injury that he had this summer....

In Cleveland’s season-opening loss to Toronto, Darius Garland suffered an eye injury that he has yet to return from. He’s already missed three straight games, and he’s set to miss his fourth when the Cavaliers face the Celtics on Friday. The No. 5 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, Garland proved to be one of the best young players in the NBA last season. Not only did he average career highs of 21....

In Charlotte’s penultimate preseason game, Ball sprained his ankle on a drive to the basket and did not return after leaving the contest. It was later reported that he was expected to “miss time” to start the season. After winning Rookie of the Year in 2020-21, Ball earned the first All-Star selection of his career in 2021-22. Still only 21 years old, he’s one of the NBA’s best young stars....

Rielly was placed on injured reserve Jan. 13, one day after blocking a shot with his foot in Toronto’s 8-4 road loss to the Florida Panthers. The 25-year-old blueliner temporarily left that game but returned to put in more ice time than any other skater on his team.

The Tales series is somewhat akin to the Final Fantasy series through being a prolific anthology series. While most games in the franchise feature completely separate stories, there is the occasional overlap of settings or characters, plus the occasional sequel. Tales of Arise happens to be the 17th main installment in the franchise, but there are plenty of exciting titles among the rest. What follows is a breakdown of how long it takes to beat every mainline game in Bandai Namco’s Tales series....

Over the years, the conservative commentator has generated headlines over such matters as her friendship with beleaguered musician and fashion designer Kanye West (aka Ye) and their shared support of Donald Trump. Owens, 33, has made a name for herself as a markedly fierce opponent in a debate, but when it comes to her private life, she’s a doting mother of two. She has been married to British-born businessman George Farmer for more than three years, and they have two children under the age of 2....

Three out of four of them are, in fact, the same guys who epitomized slick, synthesized, bubblegum pop back in the ’80s and sold some 20 million albums. (Warren Cuccurullo joined the band full time in 1989). But they’re doing everything they can to tell the public that this is a new Duran Duran. On the strength of a hit single, “Ordinary World,” they’re playing what they call “acoustic evenings with Duran Duran” around the world, trying to engineer a comeback based on their music, not their fashion advisers....

Before (and even during) his political venture, Trump was a star of TV, and occasionally of film too. Over the decades he’s been nominated for Primetime Emmys, Teen Choice Awards, and the infamous Razzie Awards. The Golden Raspberry Awards, or Razzies, are an annual event recognizing the worst movies and performances. Ironically, the main ceremony is often held the night before the Academy Awards, which awards the very best in film over the past year....

Under Australian manager Ange Postecoglou, the Bhoys have undergone something of a revival in the past year. They sit six points clear at the top of the table with just four games left to play, alongside possessing a far superior goal difference to Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s Rangers. Despite sitting in sixth place after seven games in the Scottish top flight, Postecoglou continued to persist with his high-octane style of play and his side fought their way back to the top, with late winners against Ross County and Dundee United as well as defeating Rangers convincingly at Parkhead and then Ibrox proving to be the pick of the bunch....

By Karen Breslau Even the organizers at a Sunday afternoon rally for Barack Obama at UCLA had no idea they were about to pick up an endorsement from California’s first lady Maria Shriver. Fresh from a horseback ride with her daughter Katherine, 18, Shriver showed up at the last minute to join her cousin Caroline Kennedy, best friend Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama onstage. “There is no place I wanted to be but here today,” said Shriver....

Washington University researchers say that the Red Planet’s size may be the key reason it lost liquid water and looks so different from the “blue marble” that is Earth, despite being so close to our planet. The theory, detailed in a paper published in PNAS, joins several others developed to explain why liquid water no longer flows across the surface of Mars. “Mars’ fate was decided from the beginning,” co-author Kun Wang, assistant professor of Earth and planetary sciences, Washington University, said in a press release from the institution....

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex told the world they were expecting their second child with a Valentine’s Day announcement from their spokesperson. However, the U.K. media believed the happy news was incoming as far back as the fall, when Meghan asked the High Court in London to delay a trial that had been scheduled for January. Meghan was suing The Mail on Sunday for publishing a private letter she sent her father about the breakdown of their relationship....

The controversial, Saudi-backed competitor to the PGA Tour will be outside Portland, Ore., from June 30 to July 2, and some of the biggest names in golf will be making their first U.S. appearances in the series. Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka will be making their LIV Golf debuts, while Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Charl Schwartzel will be making their second appearances in the tournament after the inaugural event near London....

After all, LIV golfers had a decent showing the recent Open Championship. Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Ian Poulter and others made the cut with relative ease. And although none of them claimed the Claret Jug, it showed that if there’s one thing LIV Golf isn’t lacking in, it’s talent. It seems Trump National recognizes that, too. The New Jersey course, which was stripped of hosting the 2022 PGA Championship, hasn’t held many elite golf competitions, but with a picturesque landscape and a challenging course layout to present to the 48-player field, LIV Golf Bedminster looks set to reel in a lot of fans....
