Now, very few Marvel fans would ever honestly say that a viewer needs to take in every minute of that almost four-day uninterrupted marathon to understand what’s going on. A ton of the individual works stand on their own or explain themselves enough to get by unaided. But is the franchise headed towards a point of complete incomprehensibility? And are the Disney+ shows the tipping point? RELATED: Moon Knight: Things Season 1 Sets Up For The Future Of The MCU...

Matthew Riser, 57, was arrested Sunday. In an argument for his pretrial detention on Monday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Flagstaff charged Riser caused the blaze after attempting to burn a pile of toilet paper while camping roughly 80 yards from where the “pipeline fire” later began, according to court documents obtained by AZ Daily Sun. Riser was stopped by police after being observed “driving rapidly away from the wildfire” in a white pickup truck on Sunday, police said....

Republican leaders of Maricopa County—the most populous in Arizona—have long rejected baseless allegations that President Joe Biden’s victory over former President Donald Trump there was fraudulent. They repeatedly criticized Cyber Ninjas, which was hired by Arizona Senate Republicans in late March 2021 to conduct the controversial audit. On Thursday, a spokesperson confirmed to The Guardian and NBC News that the company would be shutting down after it refused to release documents to an Arizona newspaper despite a judge’s order....

The new mode, called Survival of the Fittest, is reminiscent of the way Hunger Games pits participants against each other, in a fight-to-the-death where only one player can reign supreme. Like Hunger Games, combatants in Ark’s Survival of the Fittest start in a circular formation, with a cache of loot available in the middle of the circle of players. At the start of the match, players can either make a run for the valuable loot in the middle – which has the potential to give them a leg-up against the competition – or instead slink off into the woods to avoid the mad dash and possible death....

The game itself includes over sixty dinosaurs, plenty of craftable items, and for the time being, some massive frame rate drops on Microsoft’s console. To be fair, the title is still in early access, which means players are paying to try out the game far before it has a chance to be polished. On the other hand, any kind of game experience that rings in at $34.99 shouldn’t leave gamers frustrated as the game dips below 14 FPS in some areas, especially when considering it’s a current generation title that caps out at less than a 720P resolution....

“We’re aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible, and we apologize for any inconvenience,” Facebook wrote on Twitter. Original story: Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp were down for users around the world on Monday morning, prompting thousands of people to report issues with accessing the social media and messaging platforms. Facebook acquired Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014....

Klopp’s gamble in sanctioning Coutinho’s record transfer is paying off. Safely delivered through to the Champions League quarter finals – barring a cataclysmic collapse - and now second to only Manchester City in the Premier League, the manager can currently reflect on a pretty canny piece of business. All that and RB Leipzig dynamo Naby Keita to look forward to in the summer. It would be remiss to say Coutinho was holding Liverpool back or causing them a problem but there is better balance in the team since Klopp has been given the option to play with a more pragmatic midfield three....

But, in order to survive the unforgiving lobbies of GTA Online, players are going to need firepower, and a whole lot of it. Visiting Ammu-Nation to stock up on all kinds of guns, explosives and rocket launchers is all fine and dandy, but perhaps GTA Online’s strongest weapons are reserved for the Weapons Workshop. Players with a ton of money to throw around like to gain an advantage over the rest of the playing field by investing in a Weapons Workshop....

According to the US tax code, medical expenses are the costs of diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, and the costs for treatments affecting any part or function of the body. These include the costs of equipment, supplies, and diagnostic devices needed for these purposes. However, medical care expenses must be primarily to alleviate or prevent a physical or mental defect or illness. They do not include expenses that are merely beneficial to general health....

Now, a study using previously unavailable tax data has found that the treasury could have collected $34.3 billion more in taxes from large companies if it had access to $13.7 billion in resources, less than half of what it would have reaped in return. The study conducted by the Indiana University Kelley School of Business is the first of its kind and relies on confidential IRS audit data from tax returns of large, publicly traded corporations between 2000 and 2010....

The Facebook event, titled “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us,” says, “We will all meet up at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction and coordinate our entry. If we naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets. Lets see them aliens.” A “Naruto run” is a Japanese-inspired movement, where one runs with their arms back and their heads forward. It is often used in anime programs....

Dempsey named to U.S. WCQ roster Johnson played both fullback slots and outside midfield under Klinsmann, serving as the Americans’ first-choice left back at the Copa America Centenario last summer and the 2015 Gold Cup. But he’s a regular starter as a winger for Borussia Monchengladbach, for whom he has scored four goals in 29 appearances this season. “I think we’re going to play him where he plays for his club team,” Arena said on FS1....

The legendary soul singer called the Motor City home from the age of five until her death Thursday. So it was only fitting that the Lions called upon her services to sing the national anthem prior to kickoff of their game against the Vikings on Thanksgiving Day in 2016. Like the seasoned veteran she was, Franklin took everyone in attendance to church that day, delivering a stirring, gospel-infused rendition of the “The Star-Bangled Banner....

LONDON (Reuters) - Raucous home support for holders Argentina did not make up for the absence of Juan Martin del Potro and Federico Delbonis on Friday as they fell 2-0 behind to Italy in the first round of the Davis Cup. Croatia, runners-up last year, were without their top man Marin Cilic but managed to end the opening singles level 1-1 with a Spanish team lacking Rafa Nadal after Franko Skugor upset Pablo Carreno Busta over five sets....

It had seemed that Lionel Messi had got his wish to be a World Cup winner in his last ever game for Argentina in the competition but superstar French striker Kylian Mbappe had other ideas, netting a hat-trick in an extraordinary game. Argentina had a pretty easy ride for much of the game, with them racing into a 2-0 lead after a penalty from Messi and a goal from Ángel Di María had put them firmly in control at half-time....

La Albiceleste have been runners-up at four of the last five editions of the tournament and Messi temporarily stood down from international duty after their penalty shoot-out loss to Chile in 2016. But the Barcelona star – who has seen rival Ronaldo claim two titles with Portugal at the European Champonship and Nations League – is back once again to lead the line at the CONMEBOL event for Lionel Scaloni’s side, who are also set to face Paraguay and Qatar in Group B....

FULL-TIME! ARGENTINA 1-1 ICELAND 90+4 Mins: Argentina have been really disappointing today. They’ve thrown everything forward but have created very little. Credit where it’s due to Iceland but many will have expected more from the runners-up of 2014. 90+2 Mins: CLOSE! Messi fires towards goal once again but it’s wide of the mark. It really hasn’t been his game today. 90 Mins: Five minutes of added time, Iceland are within touching distance of a historic point....

Aster is also producing Dream Scenario, an upcoming A24 film starring Nicolas Cage. It is described as a comedy, not unlike the new film that the director has been working on, which received a new poster and title that may hold some semblance to one of Aster’s previous short films. While the director’s new projects are slightly different from what fans have come to expect, they are both under the A24 studio, like his previous two films....

“Absolutely disgusting!! Who put up a million dollars? I want to know…” Grande tweeted Wednesday afternoon, sharing a link to the Associated Press news story announcing Chauvin’s release. Associated Times reported that court documents showed Chauvin posted bail and was released from Hennepin County jail in Minneapolis shortly before 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Chauvin had the choice of posting bail for $1.25 million without conditions, or $1 million with conditions....

The Wildcats (11-0), who won 72-70, received all but two of the first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel Monday. Syracuse (10-0) got the other two No. 1 votes and remains second in a poll, with the top eight teams holding the same spot from last week. Ohio State is third followed by Wisconsin, Michigan State, Louisville and Oklahoma State. Duke and Villanova, which moved up two spots, were tied for eighth, while Connecticut dropped one spot to round out the top 10....
