Teachers unions have reportedly said they will not send their members into an unsafe environment, calling for all teachers to be vaccinated before returning to the classroom. But Newsom has told educators that it is unrealistic to vaccinate all teachers before school starts due to the shortage of jabs, according to the Associated Press. It comes as a petition seeking to recall Newsom has gained significant traction, having been signed by approximately 1....

Betfair, which operates the world’s largest online betting exchange, told Newsweek that Newsom’s odds of being recalled now stand at 1/3—meaning you won’t win very much if you place a bet now. When odds for a potential event are slashed, that means the outcome is more likely, i.e. bettors will receive less of a return than they would on longer odds. The campaign to recall Newsom has reached the required number of signatures and a recall election is expected later this year....

In April 2016, Xbox One owners were able to try out the multiplayer portion of Gears of War 4 as part of a beta test. The preview left many impressed with what they saw — but it seems that even since then, The Coalition has been pouring a huge amount of effort into improving the game’s graphics. Earlier this morning, the game’s director Rod Ferguson posted a picture on Twitter that compares the graphics on show during the beta to the state of Gears of War 4 as of May 31....

Now, Bale has opened up about his feelings in an interview with The Daily Mail and controversially stated that Madrid are more “relaxed” now, and have greater team spirit than they did with Ronaldo in the side. In case you didn’t know… Bale had been forced to operate from under Ronaldo’s shadow while the latter was at the club, often coming off the bench in most games and was clearly frustrated about not being a regular starter in the team under Madrid’s former manager, Zinedine Zidane....

All the recent redefinition of terms would be comical if the stakes weren’t so high. Starting with the economy, consider that economists (Biden’s team included) have always agreed that a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative growth. Now that Biden is president, we are told the definition of “recession” is something else, and in any case no one can be certain whose policies contributed to such an outcome....

Donnarumma put in a typically assured display at San Siro on Wednesday as goals from Suso, Alessio Romagnoli and Patrick Cutrone set-up a quarter-final derby against Inter.

Alessio Romagnoli dispatched a dramatic 97th-minute winner at Dacia Arena in a repeat of the stoppage-time heroics that earned Milan a 2-1 win over Genoa in midweek. The captain’s composed finish amid a frantic finale made it three wins from three since the derby heartbreak against Inter, which remains fresh in Gattuso’s mind ahead of next weekend’s meeting Juventus.
