New York-based MSCHF made the sneakers by modifying Nike Air Max 97s and have priced each pair at $1,018, a reference to the Bible passage Luke 10:18, which reads: “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven....

Over at the official Playdead Twitter account, the studio recently tweeted out a gorgeous new teaser image of its currently-untitled third title. Having been in development since Inside was launched back in 2016, this new project appears to be another puzzle-platformer akin to the Playdead’s previous two games. Seemingly a continuation of Limbo and Inside’s haunting dystopian tone, the new game appears to incorporate new sci-fi influences as the teaser image depicts a figure wearing an environmental suit while dragging a torn parachute through a barren wasteland....

Nainggolan has not played for Belgium since last June, when they beat Czech Republic 2-1 in a friendly. Coach Roberto Martinez has attracted criticism since then for his reluctance to select the Roma star, despite his impressive and consistent form at club level. Martinez explained his reasons for previously overlooking Nainggolan in November, saying he already had enough with the likes of Eden Hazard and Dries Mertens in the No....

In a lengthy 11-post Twitter thread, Schmidt slammed the media for continuing to underestimate Trump and the alleged threat he poses to American Democracy after the ex-president permanently shut down his “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump” blog. “Today is the third day of profoundly stupid media coverage around the demise of the Trump blog,” Schmidt wrote. “Some have posited that Trump’s loss, social media bans, and inability to sustain a blog are evidence of his decline, irrelevance and diminishment....

Election analysis published by The Cook Political Report and Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball downrated Sen. Graham’s seat from a “safe” Republican victory in November to a “likely” Republican win. The analysts noted that the race was not “being ignored by either party” as it was becoming clear that Democratic candidate Jaime Harrison’s path to victory was “not an impossible one,” given his recent fundraising hauls. But they both also recognized that there was still “a lot more to be done” by the challenger, with Sabato’s Crystal Ball saying his route to victory would not be “an easy one....

While speaking with Fox News’ John Roberts, Graham was asked about Trump’s recent criticism of the Department of Justice and Attorney General Bill Barr, in regard to claims of election fraud. “Well, they have been looking, I know that,” Graham, who is also the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said. “As a matter of fact, I sent an affidavit over signed by the gentleman in Pennsylvania — I think it was Pennsylvania — backdating ballots....

The indicted former associate of Rudy Giuliani told CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360° that the South Carolina Republican was “in the loop just like everyone else,” and claimed to have “a lot of information about his dealings.” But Parnas also said he did not know if Graham was “deeply involved” and clarified that he had not been in direct contact with the senator. The Florida businessman’s claims came after his lawyer Joseph Bondy told the Daily Beast Giuliani showed Parnas a letter, allegedly given to Sen....

This is according to The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma (joined by Shigeru Miyamoto), who confirmed as much in an interview with Game Informer that included 51 rapid-fire questions about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Nintendo in general. In the interview, Aonuma was asked if Link speaks a full sentence during the events of the game, to which he simply responded, “No.” Nintendo previously confirmed that Link won’t talk in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but it’s possible that the company is trying to mislead fans so that, if and when Link does talk in the game, it comes as a big surprise....
