The suit, which is a pre-order bonus on both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions of the game, was supervised by some of the animation team of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, as the film’s production designer Justin K. Thompson reveals in a new gameplay video detailing the suit’s unique visual aesthetic. Like the Vintage Comic Book suit from Marvel’s Spider-Man, the Into the Spider-Verse suit from Spider-Man: Miles Morales is animated to resemble the unique animation style of the film....

Across an entire series of films, the franchise has its fair share of quirks, memes, and references, and this upcoming movie will likely pull that all in. But despite the excitement fans of the series might have, there is one very large, important element missing from what has been shown so far: Miles Morales. It’s quite possible that his appearance in such a multi-verse premise film is being kept under wraps....

But there’s one element of the latter’s various retellings that seems to come and go with each variation. This refers to the idea of Peter Parker’s best friend eventually becoming a villain. In the comics, that best friend was Peter’s fellow science geek and child of privilege, Harry Osborn. But things took a turn with the current Spider-Man continuity, which depicts Tom Holland’s version of the hero palling around with his buddy Ned Leeds (played by Jacob Batalon)....

According for FlightAware, around 7,400 flights arrived late, at least 15 minutes behind schedule Sunday and over 900 were canceled. Nearly half of these cancellations happened at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, which was experiencing thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. For more reporting from the Associated Press, see below: Air travel in the U.S. is hitting new pandemic-era highs, and airlines are scrambling to keep up with the summer-vacation crowds....

Unfortunately, Splatoon is new to having such a substantial social feature. Like previous Splatoon titles, players purchase and upgrade gear that other players can view and order in Splatsville, but lockers in Splatoon 3 allow for much more personalization. Not everyone may wish to indulge in decorating their locker, whether they wish for their hard-earned cash to go toward something else or not. But it is inarguable that lockers should be the first of many new social features in the Splatoon franchise, with more hopefully expanding on the interconnected hub world that players experience....

The Spartans took their first loss of the season on Saturday, with unranked Purdue winning 40-29 at home for its second win over a top-five team this season. It was also Purdue’s 17th win against a top-five opponent as an unranked team, the most among FBS teams. Earlier this year, Purdue defeated No. 2 Iowa 24-7 on the road.

Reality Steve explained a financial predicament that could limit ABC’s chances of getting the fan-favorite back as 2020’s rose holder. According to the reality TV blogger, Brown has been in conversation with ABC about taking the role on for the second year in a row. Instead of embarking on the journey, though, Brown and the network apparently haven’t been able to agree on her pay. He explained in a blog post on Wednesday....

Die-hard SpongeBob fans will be quickly enamored with SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake which is packed full of nostalgic references to the series with lighthearted gameplay. While the game may not be the most intricate platformer, it could be seen as a great way to introduce new gamers to platforming. Players start out in Bikini Bottom when SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star are sold mermaid tears that supposedly can grant any wish from Kassandra, a fortune-teller....

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Doping in athletics could be slashed overnight if sponsors showed any will to eradicate it, according to Steve Magness, the coach who blew the whistle on an elite Nike-sponsored athletics programme but now feels like a pariah in the sport as a result. Doping scandals have torn athletics asunder over the last two years, and are souring the mood at the Rio Games where some competitors have been loudly booed, but Magness says there is an easy way to make an immediate sea-change....

Spanish police said they also found nearly $23,000 hidden in Maria del Mar’s car after arresting the notorious trafficker during a drug deal. Del Mar, 38, is known as the “Queen of Ronda” (“La Reina de Ronda”). She was arrested moments after receiving 24.2 lbs of cocaine during a drug bust in Madrid, Spain, the police said. Footage shows a police officer finding two knives in the side door of the vehicle, before using one of them to open a hidden compartment located in the dashboard....

Ferrer had the match nearly wrapped up at 6-3, 3-1 on Tuesday, with Donskoy serving at 15-40, then everything changed, reports Efe. The 26-year-old Donskoy managed to hold serve and break Ferrer to even up the match at 3-3. The Russian world No. 84, who has not won any titles on the ATP World Tour, had lost to the 34-year-old Ferrer, who is ranked 12th in the world, at the French Open earlier this year....

The Spark One grill uses proprietary charcoal Briqs, lit with the flick of a switch. That’s enabled by plugging its power cable into electricity; the cable also powers an internal fan for precision grilling. Has it ever been possible to cook with charcoal and set a specific temperature by simply rotating a dial? I’ve never fully ventured into charcoal grilling because of the work involved, before and after. But now, after making a range of meats and vegetables on the Spark One, it’s likely I’ll never use a standard charcoal barbecue, ever....

Although the research is yet to be published or peer reviewed, the preliminary findings could have major implications in developing strategies for halting the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a Monday letter from the study’s authors. “Further studies are needed to assess the viral titer [concentrations] present in speech-induced droplets in asymptomatic COVID-19 positive persons, but our results suggest that speaking can indeed be a major mode of SARS-CoV-2 transmission,” wrote the researchers....

Britney Spears concerts and sparkly nail polish are hardly the only signs that children are growing up faster these days. In some parts of the world, they actually run banks, stage labor strikes and lobby for better health care. Over the past decade, organizations like the Bal Sabha have been springing up to give children more control over their lives. Spurred on by the global child-rights movement, they have gained clout under the 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), ratified by 191 nations, which commits governments to protecting children’s basic rights–including full participation in family, social and cultural life....

In this year’s Special Olympics, there are 6,500 athletes from 165 countries and regions, competing in 25 different games....

Unfortunately, the number of “failed states” seems to be growing among the 130 countries of the developing world. The notion of failed states isn’t necessarily related to the absence of democracy–after all, Tanzania and Pakistan were nominally democracies. It isn’t tied to free markets–according to Transparency International, the Berlin-based watchdog, more than half of the world’s dozen most corrupt nations enjoy capitalist-style, free-enterprise economies. The developing world’s nations largely “fail” because they lack sturdy public institutions that engender the essential national requirement for expediting social and economic progress: accountability....
