One problem, of course: Ichiro collected 1,278 of those hits in Japan, while Rose collected all 4,256 of his in the majors. Yet some fans and media types continue to celebrate Ichiro’s “chase” for the all-time mark, as if it’s actually a chase at all. There’s nothing to see here, folks, so please cool it with the “hit king” talk. MORE: Players in MLB’s 3,000-hit club As impressive as Ichiro’s career has been — he’s almost certainly a first-ballot Hall of Famer — we should be content to celebrate his contributions at the major league level, because they’re plenty impressive....

Ryan Murphy is bringing the classic villain of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest to Netflix in her own origin story, simply titled Ratched. Starring Sarah Paulson, Murphy’s longtime American Horror Story collaborator, the series will examine the iconic villain we all know—and hate. As a young nurse working in a northern California psychiatric hospital, she becomes jaded and exploits patients in the mental healthcare facility. “The series is set to be an origin story of sorts taking us back to before Nurse Ratched had evolved to the monster by exploiting people in the mental health care system,” the Netflix synopsis of the show states....

The purpose of his visit was clear. How he got to the U.S., however, is not. While Zelensky has made visits to the front lines within his own country—including a recent visit to the Bakhmut battlefield—his trips outside of the country have been curtailed because he remains a high-profile target for assassination by Russia and its allies. In fact, Zelensky has not left the country since the war began last February, both in a show of national solidarity and as a reflection of the realities on the ground in Eastern Europe....

Once appendicitis starts, there is no effective medical therapy, so appendicitis is considered a medical emergency. When treated promptly, most patients recover without difficulty.

The blockage leads to increased pressure, impaired blood flow, and inflammation. If the blockage is not treated, gangrene and rupture (breaking or tearing) of the appendix can result....

The answer, as it turns out, falls somewhere between the ironic and the entirely fitting. Spore’s various interfaces, like its plethora of creatures, needed to evolve—far more than Wright had initially anticipated—in order for the game to engage a mass audience. “The biggest design challenge was keeping it very accessible to players so that every bit of the game was intuitive, easy and approachable,” says Wright. At the same time, Wright’s team was mashing up different types of games—as players move up the evolutionary ladder, the gameplay mutates as well, mimicking classics ranging from Pac-Man and Diablo to SimCity and Civilization—and the designers needed to find a way to keep the game controls, camera angles and rewards consistent....

Pazuello’s testimony before the Senate committee investigating the administration’s pandemic response was highly anticipated. Analysts say the testimony was an attempt to protect Bolsonaro from scrutiny over the government’s handling of the health crisis. “The actions were all mine,” Pazuello said, adding that the president never “issued an order to do anything other than what I was doing.” He continued, “The president told me and every minister several times: The person who discusses health issues is Minister Pazuello....

“Bin Laden was big, but this was bigger,” Trump argued on Sunday during a press conference. Trump announced to reporters and the world that Baghdadi was dead after Saturday’s U.S. military operation, which was first reported by Newsweek. The president said that Baghdadi was “the biggest there is” and “the worst ever.” Although he said “Osama bin Laden was very big,” he insisted that Baghdadi “is a man who built a whole, as he would like to call it, a country, a caliphate, and was trying to do it again....

Defensive ends Randy Gregory and Taco Charlton are no longer with the Cowboys, but that seems to be a fact that owner Jerry Jones can’t seem to let go of. The Cowboys owner recently threw some shade veiled in a joke at former first-round pick Charlton (and his son Stephen Jones), at a pre-draft press conference, comparing the flame-out first-rounder to breakout first-round pick Micah Parsons. “Taco was Stephen’s call … (Micah) Parsons was my call,” Jones said....

Walsh, who served as a representative from Illinois and is also a syndicated radio host, drew a comparison between how Trump has now responded to a close ally compared to how he has reacted to an infamous dictator. “The moral of the story? Always say nice things about Donald Trump and you’ll be fine,” Walsh, who regularly criticizes Trump despite being a Republican himself, wrote on Twitter. “I mean, you can be one of the most evil dictators on the planet, but as long as you say nice things about Trump, he’ll embrace you....

House investigators on Wednesday opened the public phase of an impeachment inquiry against Trump, with acting Ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs George Kent testifying before Congress.

Mulvaney, who served as acting chief of staff for former President Donald Trump, believes today’s hearing on the riot did not go well for his former boss and does not see things getting any better for him in the future. “Cheney’s closing is stunning: they think they have evidence of witness tampering and obstruction of justice.
