The Milwaukee Sentinel refused to run the ad. But The Des Moines Register ran it last week, to the protests of meatpackers. “[It is] the most tasteless, demented, twisted piece of garbage I’ve seen in a long time,” Charles Harness of the National Pork Producers Council in Des Moines told the Register. “It shows how crazy these people are.” PETA was unapologetic. “We’re offended by the slaughter of 16 million animals every day,” a spokeswoman said....

As it turns out, the invigilator catches him with chits that have answers to the questions in the paper....
Atlus has spoken about the pressure the studio is facing while making Persona 6, and while Persona 5 is widely agreed to be a fantastic entry in the series, hopefully the studio will fix some of the issues that were present in the game to make P6 even better. The issues in question definitely don’t ruin P5, but they are glaring enough to the point where many fans of the game are hoping that they’re fixed in the next numbered Persona entry....
Guido Rodriguez scored off a header in the 13th minute of the game to secure victory for his side, slamming home Lionel Messi’s delicious cross. Argentina could have scored more on the night had it not been for some wasteful finishing in front of goal.

Argentina now sweat on the result of Iceland’s clash with Nigeria tomorrow in Group D - and a win for the former would leave them three points off second place ahead of their own game against the African nation next week. Croatia will face Iceland themselves next week as they look to go unbeaten to the knockout stages. It all started going wrong for Argentina when Willy Caballero made a dreadful error to gift Ante Rebic a golden chance to volley home for the lead - but the simple fact is they were outclassed and outgunned across 90 minutes by a fantastic Croatia performance as the latter book their place in the knockout stages with a wonderful 3-0 win....

Ducey has a $163 million school grant program using virus relief funds that he controls. He has deemed that schools that defy the mask mandate ban and close because of COVID-19 outbreaks are ineligible for the additional funding of $1,800 per student. “Safety recommendations are welcomed and encouraged—mandates that place more stress on students and families aren’t,” he said. “These grants acknowledge efforts by schools and educators that are following state laws and keeping their classroom doors open for Arizona’s students....
Gosar was among the most outspoken GOP critics of the result and has continued to claim, without evidence, that the projected win for President-elect Joe Biden had been marred by election fraud. In a tweet on Monday, Gosar continued on this theme, writing: “The America First agenda is just in its infancy. There are 75 million of us,” referring to the number of people who voted for Trump, although official figures so far put it at closer to 74 million....

Charm has never been a big part of Specter’s political repertoire. His mirthless, prosecutorial style is more tolerated than admired by Pennsylvania voters. Intelligence and hard work have won the former Philadelphia district attorney their respect, if not their deep affection. But that relationship will be put to the test this year. Specter is still feeling heat from his relentless cross-examination of Anita Hill during Clarence Thomas’s confirmation hearings last October....

This means that gamers who wish to install ARMS only need about 7% of the Nintendo Switch’s internal memory to do so, which is a far cry less than several titles which are considered the Switch’s “must-haves....
