I love this girly life.” While Morris didn’t mention Aldean by name, she seemingly referenced her in a tweet....

Other women’s seeds advancing Friday included Ana Ivanovic (7) and Ekaterina Makarova (9) . Men’s winners included Roger Federer (2), Tomas Berdych (4) and Stan Wawrinka (8), who KO’d American Steve Johnson in three sets. In another thrilling encounter between the tournament’s No. 2 seed and her Australian adversary, there was no upset. Stosur won their 2014 match at Roland Garros.

While many people use marijuana (it’s the third most commonly used addictive drug, after tobacco and alcohol) most won’t become addicted. About 1 in 10 people who use marijuana will become addicted; when they start using before the age of 18, the number increases to 1 in 6. Research suggests that about 30% of people who use marijuana might have marijuana use disorder, the severity of which can vary....

Not much was revealed about The Super Mario Bros. Movie when Nintendo game director, Shigeru Miyamoto, announced the arrival of the film last September at the Nintendo Direct streaming event. The direction of the narrative driving the iconic collection of characters was uncertain, but Nintendo introduced audiences to the tremendous cast assembled to bring the film to life, which includes Chris Pratt, Charlie Day, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black, Seth Rogen, and Keegan-Michael Key....

Most of the reveals so far have been promising, but there is one thing that caught fans’ eyes in an unsavory way. Namely, Mario Strikers: Battle League’s launch roster size is a meager 10 characters. Mario Strikers Charged features 20 characters for comparison, and it seems Battle League will repeat this…in a different way.

The Georgia congresswoman joined 11 other GOP lawmakers in opposing a resolution passed by the House to award Congressional Gold Medals to the Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police Department officers who protected lawmakers when a mob breached the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6. The vote passed overwhelmingly 413-12, but Greene later told a town hall in Georgia she detected a blasphemous tone in the resolution’s wording, which called the Capitol “the temple of our American Democracy....

Robert Crimo allegedly fatally shot at least seven people and injured dozens on Monday when he opened fire at an Independence Day parade in Highland Park, Illinois, and in Philadelphia, two police officers were shot during a fireworks display. Greene, who has faced criticism for promoting conspiracy theories related to past shootings, raised questions about the timing of the Fourth of July shootings. “Two shootings on July 4: One in a rich white neighborhood and the other at a fireworks display,” Greene said during Tuesday’s episode of her online show MTG:Live....

The future of the For the People Act, which would have seen a major overhaul of the current electoral system and voting laws, is in doubt after it failed to pass a Senate vote on Tuesday. The Democrats’ bill was blocked following a 50-50 split vote, meaning it failed to reach the 60-vote threshold needed to overcome a Republican filibuster. The bill was supported by all 50 Democrats and opposed by all 50 Republicans....

Addressing an audience on Saturday night after being given the Richard M. Nixon Award—assigned by the New York Young Republican Club to “a citizen who exemplifies the fundamental ideals of Americanism,” Greene told those gathered: “By the way, you can pick up a butt plug or a dildo at Target and CVS nowadays. I don’t even know how we got here. This is the state that we’re living in right now....

On one night in 2002 or 2003, an allegedly inebriated Foley showed up at the pages’ dorm after a 10 p.m. curfew and tried to gain entry, according to an account provided by two congressional sources, who declined to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter. Foley was turned away by a guard. It is not known if the pages were ever aware that Foley lurked outside their door, but word of the incident reached the House Clerk, who notified Foley’s chief of staff, Kirk Fordham....

Welcome to Silver World: a landscape of rapidly aging populations. This year the average Japanese turned 42 years old. The over-70s have reached 14 million. The demographics are clear, and irreversible. Two thirds of all senior citizens who’ve ever lived are alive today. The number of people born between 1990 and 1995 was only about half as large as the number born between 1970 and 1975. That means more old people, and fewer younger workers to support them....

LONDON (Reuters) - England prop Joe Marler has been suspended for two matches and fined 20,000 pounds ($28,310) by World Rugby for calling Wales counterpart Samson Lee a “gypsy boy” during last month’s Six Nations match at Twickenham. Marler, who made the remark in England’s 25-21 win, had originally escaped punishment from Six Nations tournament organisers before the global game’s governing body stepped in. A misconduct charge was brought by World Rugby and Marler attended an independent judicial hearing in London on Tuesday....

During a morning press conference to announce the move, Jennings, who has never before managed at the professional level, defended his qualifications as a “baseball mind.” Absent from the gathering was outspoken owner Jeffrey Loria, who waited until some of the dust settled later in the day to speak publicly on the matter in a wide-ranging interview with the New York Daily News’ Andy Martino.

According to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports, the Marlins have had internal discussions to sign the soon-to-be released slugger.

Blackburn tweeted “Tennesseans want a wall on our southern border” on Monday afternoon, prompting quick responses from many who pointed out that Tennessee is bordered to the south by fellow U.S. states Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. Blackburn may have intended to refer to former President Donald Trump’s now-canceled U.S.-Mexico border wall, a project of which she has previously spoken in favor. However, as Tennessee is more than 1,000 miles away from the Mexican border and the wording of Blackburn’s tweet left open the possibility that she was referencing a new proposal for a domestic wall between states, many of those responding to the tweet used geography as a basis to mock the senator....
