Both announcements follow months of growing suspicion in the U.S. that an accident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) triggered the pandemic. As of May 26, the pandemic has killed more than 591,941 Americans. China has vehemently denounced the lab leak questions as Western propaganda. However, the country’s claim that the outbreak began in a Wuhan wet market has failed to satisfy U.N. investigators and Western scientists. Growing suspicion in the U....

The poll, which was conducted by Marist College/NBC News, found both candidates receiving 48 percent of support from likely voters across Florida. The poll surveyed 766 likely voters from August 31 to September 6 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4....

It is a theme that Biden has repeatedly raised. But it isn’t true. It is better than his typical approach of not accounting for the population’s size in the United States relative to other countries. But it ignores the unreliable COVID-19 data from other large countries, most notably China and Russia, which have underreported infections and deaths. More importantly, Biden’s claim doesn’t acknowledge that the U.S. counts coronavirus deaths differently from other countries....

The poll, which was conducted by YouGov/The Economist, found 53 percent of likely voters saying they will vote for Biden on Election Day, compared with 43 percent that said Trump. YouGov/The Economist surveyed 1,500 registered voters from October 31 to November 2 and reported a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. In comparison, the final poll conducted by YouGov/The Economist before the 2016 election found Clinton holding a four-point lead, as 45 percent said they’d vote for her compared with 41 percent that chose Trump....

The statement from Gordon was released this past week and presented his sordid experience with Id Software studio director Marty Stratton. The piece delved into the creation of the music featured in Doom Eternal, as well as the controversial release of a physical edition of the soundtrack. It also expanded on Stratton’s 2020 post to Reddit, which blamed Gordon for the controversy surrounding the soundtrack. Gordon put all responsibility at the feet of Bethesda, Id, and Stratton....

Over the last three days Bethesda has enmeshed the gaming universe in speculation about a forthcoming game announcement, thanks to a trio of cryptic, 5-second, Johannes Sebastian Bach-music-set vignettes that the company has been releasing through its Vine account. Guesses ranged from Fallout 4 (“Oppression, fire, destruction, a composer whose works were featured in Fallout 3? – case closed!”) to a new Dishonored (“Well, there does appear to be a charming residence behind those sunflowers....

In an interview with local news station KXAN, O’Rourke said he would only think about the 2022 midterm elections once the Texas GOP’s plans have been taken off the table, or overruled by a federal bill. “If we can get this done… I’ll think about what other role I can play in public service whether that is as a candidate in 2022 or supporting great candidates in 2022,” O’Rourke told KXAN....

All the Women in My Brain: And Other Concerns is a series of essays that tell Gilpin’s story through cleverly-worded metaphors and hard-learned truths about the modern societal woman—topics that Gilpin has reflected on perhaps more than her female actor counterparts, taking inspiration from her career. Instead of writing a “typical actor memoir,” Gilpin told Newsweek she wanted more people to be able to understand and relate to her words through the universal female experience....

Everyone has heard the stories–the “friend of a friend” who was stood up by her Afghan boyfriend, who then told her in an e-mail not to get on a commercial jet on Sept. 11. The next-door neighbors of Middle Eastern descent who threw a raucous party on Sept. 10–and then were nowhere to be found the next day. The story I was looking for had circulated less widely and in more general form....

“If Mr. Navalny dies, there will be consequences to the Russian government,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Monday. President Joe Biden already has imposed sanctions against Russian officials over the handling of Navalny, a chief critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Psaki didn’t elaborate Monday on what the consequences would be if Navalny dies. Psaki previously told reporters that Biden was “disturbed” by Navalny’s treatment. “We urge Russian authorities to take all necessary actions to ensure his safety and health,” she said earlier this month....

During Tuesday’s press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that although she hasn’t read the reports of the mass walkout, President Joe Biden continues to support the LGBTQ community and is “always proud to speak out against the mistreatment of that community.” “He believes transgender youth should be allowed to be able to go to school freely, to be able to express themselves freely, to be able to have the protections that they need to be who they are,” Jean-Pierre told reporters....

Abortion emerged as a top midterm issue after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the decision that guaranteed abortion rights across the United States, on June 24. In the aftermath of the ruling, several states rolled back reproductive rights and for the first time in decades, abortion became illegal for millions. The decision galvanized liberal and independent women voters who are seeking to enshrine abortion protections both in state and federal law....

For some reason, it took Bethesda nearly a month to officially respond but they’ve confirmed today that Prey 2 has not been canned and that instead, it’s being delayed until some time next year. Bethesda provided the official update today, revealing that they’re not happy with the way development has been going, giving us reason to believe that there was a legitimate chance of the game being canceled. Perhaps the community response to the rumored cancellation persuaded them to keep the project alive and put more work into it instead....

Milner created Liverpool’s opening goal at West Ham on Monday, pulling back a low cross from Liverpool’s right that Sadio Mane collected to turn and finish well. However, replays showed the goal should have been disallowed as Milner, captaining Liverpool in the absence of the injured Jordan Henderson, was offside. Milner’s 81st Premier League assist sees him jump above Beckham into seventh place, although he has a long way to go to if he has ambitions on claiming top spot....
