McCarthy has been out since July with a knee injury, but that has not stopped Ireland manager Martin O’Neill calling him up to the provisional 32-man squad for the games against Moldova and Wales. Everton 20/1 to finish top four Koeman and O’Neill were involved in a public spat last season when McCarthy aggravated a hamstring injury while on international duty in March. And while the Everton manager understands McCarthy’s predicament, he has encouraged him not to put himself at risk of further injuries....

In November, the U.S. saw its slowest month of growth since spring, according to the department’s Friday report. Employers added just 245,000 jobs last month, and while the unemployment rate decreased from 6.9 to 6.7 percent, it was largely due to a flood of people leaving the labor force. “This is an ugly report,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist for Grant Thornton. “It will go negative next month.” McConnell has rejected a new $908 billion bipartisan stimulus proposal, which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and President-elect Joe Biden have supported....

The clip, which has since been deleted, is still visible on the app because other users have stitched replies onto it.

One video in particular posted on TikTok by user @nnennaaaaa6 has garnered over 1.6 million views. It shows the female employee inputting a drive-thru code into the system while registering a customer’s order. The code purportedly adds points to someone’s account that can later be used for free food, as McDonald’s “charges” different amounts of points for different foods or drinks. Responses from TikTok users were across the board. Some chimed in and claimed they also worked in fast food, saying they utilize the same freebies due to the points system....

“The Select Committee will view Mr. Meadows’s failure to appear at the deposition, and to produce responsive documents or a privilege log indicating the specific basis for withholding any documents you believe are protected by privilege, as willful non-compliance,” Representative Bennie Thompson wrote in a letter to Meadows’ attorney Thursday evening—just hours after Meadows indicated he wouldn’t comply. Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, is chairing the House’s special investigation panel on the January 6 Capital attack....

We’re halfway through the bowl season, meaning the first 20 bowls are out of the way and the so-called better bowls are coming now....

But they began tapping the college market in the 1990s, when programs abroad swelled in popularity. CMI Insurance has doubled its student enrollment in the past five years. International SOS now works with more than 120 schools, and Medex boasts an international network of 40,000 local health providers. Demand seems bound to increase: experts predict that the number of students in overseas programs could swell from 206,000 last year to 1 million annually within a decade....

Film/TV IP and gaming IP have been interconnected for decades—there is a long list of video games based on films, as well as film and TV shows based on video games. An iconic example of the former is the hit Nintendo 64 video game GoldenEye 007 released in 1997, a direct adaptation of the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye. More recently, Netflix has demonstrated the latter through the release of its hit show Arcane, based on Tencent studio’s Riot Games’ League of Legends, one of the most popular video games ever created and the number one most watched esport in the world....

Having lost the presidency, the Senate majority and now major platforms for disseminating lies and calls to violence, Trump World, or what’s left of it, automatically shifted into self-pitying snowflake mode. With quivering voices, its members accused the tech companies of censorship. When Simon & Schuster announced it would not be publishing the book by one of the instigators, Josh Hawley, the Missouri senator called the move “Orwellian” and a “direct assault on the First Amendment....

Why create an Internet currency when your company already has access to tons of cash and can print new shares of its own stock to buy whatever it wants? In a word: price. Regular companies’ stock prices are based on things like profits, assets and cash flow. But Internet stocks are about potential, hype and, in many cases, moonbeams.

Anyway, that’s how you spin the story if you want Medicare chopped or dropped, as many conservatives do. They’re backing a raft of proposals to make the elderly pay more of their future medical costs. The optimists, on the other hand, give future Medicare funding a cheerier spin. No need for ice floes, they say. Our standard of living will boom over the next 45 years. GDP will grow, grow, grow....

Working with tissue samples from a cluster of families with histories of early Alzheimer’s, the scientists found that stricken individuals share d a specific mutation on chromosome 1, one of the 23 paired chromosome found in every cell.
