Bath player ratings: 'Magnificent' England playmaker 'key' to impressive win after Finn Russell's errors
just now (602+ words) Bath playmakers Ben Spencer and Finn Russell. Following a 36-29 victory over Saracens in the Gallagher Prem at the StoneX Stadium on Sunday, here are the player ratings for Bath. 15 Tom de Glanville: Some excellent moments on the counter-attack while his boot was useful on occasion. Wasn't tested too much under the high ball with Saracens targeting Henry Arundell's wing. 7 14 Joe Cokanasiga: Wasn't given a huge amount of space in the opening 50 minutes but, when he did get the ball, Cokanasiga tended to make ground. However, was more of a factor later on and made some useful contributions. 7 13 Chris Harris: A very useful signing for Bath. Not quite the player which made him indispensable to Scotland a few years ago, but he remains a centre that does everything very efficiently. 5 12 Will Butt: Very much grew into the game after Saracens started…...
Netanyahu Seeks Pardon as Decade-Long Corruption Investigation Proceeds With No End in Sight
just now (601+ words) Israel's prime minister has expressed dismay as the six-year trial heads back to the courts. President Isaac Herzog of Israel holds the fate of Benjamin Netanyahu in his hands as the prime minister on Sunday took the extraordinary step of asking for a pre-verdict pardon on corruption charges that have been tied up in Israel's court for six years with no end in sight. The unprecedented request " matching the uniqueness of Mr. Netanyahu becoming the first sitting Israeli prime minister to stand" trial for criminal charges " emerged as popular opinion remains deeply divided over the decade-long case. Mr. Netanyahu said that it has become clear that the case against him was built on serious violations and the prosecution has only provided exonerating evidence against claims that he personally profited from gifts traded for public support. He added that the prolonged…...
Limp Bizkit Play First Show without Late Bassist Sam Rivers
just now (303+ words) Stepping in on bass was Kid Not (real name Richie Buxton), who is a songwriting partner and producer for one of the tour's opener Ecca Vandal, an Australian singer-songwriter and rapper. During the performance Limp paid tribute to Rivers with a video compilation of performance highlights of Rivers, watching the video along with the audience as it happened. As it ended, the surviving members of the band hugged each other in remembrance of Rivers. Talk about heartbreaking. Just before the show, the band's drummer John Otto shared an online statement about playing for the first time without Rivers, and yes, it's a gut punch. "Today is going to be tough. A first I never wanted to experience. Especially not now. "You've been there for so many major firsts in my life. Some of my earliest memories were made with you....
This urban fantasy TTRPG lets you live out every 80s high school movie, and it's less than $5
1+ min ago (162+ words) Gab is a naturally playful and talkative writer with a particular interest in D&D, Warhammer 40k, and indie tabletop games. They adore the chance to write about these things every chance they get, be it for Wargamer, their personal blog, Dicebreaker, or ScreenRant. (They/Them) The 80s are a lucrative source of nostalgia, all neon lights and totally tubular adjectives. Naturally, the tabletop RPG space isn't immune to its charms, particularly the cyberpunk genre, which owes much of its aesthetic to 80s grime. But another side of the 80s just as memorable (and cutthroat) are the high school movies. If there's one thing you learn from these movies, it's that high schools are a vicious pit of vipers. Take all those raging hormones and add magic to the mix, and you get Lighthearted, an 80s urban fantasy TTRPG. Read the full story on Wargamer:…...
21 years ago, Ken Jennings lost on ‘Jeopardy!’ after 74 straight wins. Here are 4 big moments from his legendary run
1+ min ago (915+ words) Ken Jennings had 30 seconds to come up with the answer. The clue: Most of this firm's 70,000 seasonal white-collar employees work only four months a year. Jennings wrote his answer down quickly. His competitor, Nancy Zerg, took a little longer. And then time was up. Zerg, who was in second place with $10,000, revealed her response: H&R Block. She was correct. Her $4,401 wager put her just a dollar ahead of Jennings. All eyes were now on the reigning champ. It was the gasp heard round the world. Sounds of disbelief rang throughout the "Jeopardy!" studio. Even Zerg's mouth dropped open. Jennings smiled through it all. He shook Zerg's hand and the two hugged, marking the end of a "Jeopardy!" era. (Zerg would end up losing her very next game.) That shocking episode aired 21 years ago. On Nov. 30, 2004, Jennings was dethroned after…...
Snow in forecast Monday night-Tuesday for southeastern Pennsylvania
1+ min ago (243+ words) Gradual clearing is expected Sunday into Sunday night with cold conditions and sunny skies Monday giving way to a storm system that might bring an early season snowfall to much of southeastern Pennsylvania.

McLaren's botched strategy call helps Verstappen win Qatar GP as F1 title fight goes to final race
1+ min ago (693+ words) Red Bull's Max Verstappen took full advantage of the unexpected gift to clinch a seventh win this season " his 70th overall " as he closed the gap on championship leader Lando Norris from 24 points at the start of the weekend to 12 points, heading into next Sunday's title decider in Abu Dhabi. McLaren still has two drivers in contention, with Oscar Piastri four points behind Verstappen in third, but must stop the slide. Last Sunday, the two drivers lost a combined 30 points after both were disqualified following the race, won by Verstappen. At the Qatar GP, Norris would have clinched his first F1 title with a win but finished fourth, with Piastri placing second having started from pole position and looking assured. But after an early safety car, McLaren's decision to keep both drivers out backfired badly as Verstappen effectively benefited from a free…...
