Truex led 233 laps in NASCAR’s longest race of the season, but while he and other contenders pitted with 33 laps to go, Dillon stayed on the track and crossed the finish line on fumes for his first career win. It is the first time the famed number three car has been in victory lane for the Coca-Cola 600 since Dale Earnhardt beat Jeff Gordon in 1993. Jimmie Johnson, who also tried to stay out and win the fuel-mileage race, ran out of gas just before the white flag waved, giving the lead away to Dillon, who held off Kyle Busch and Truex for the win....

Microphones used for the Bally Sports Florida broadcast picked up a fan allegedly using the N-word after Brinson, who is Black, had faced two pitches in his at-bat at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. Paul Severino, the Marlins’ play-by-play announcer immediately apologized for the slur, saying it had no place on the broadcast. Clips of the fan appearing to shout the racial epithet have gone viral on Twitter and have racked up a combined 3 million views at the time of writing....

[HTML2] Battlefield 4 is the best-looking multi-platform title that launched alongside the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and it represents the first time developer DICE has been able to bring the franchise’s signature 64-player multiplayer to consoles. Unfortunately, all that has been entirely overshadowed by the problematic launch of the game, a release that Electronic Arts admitted didn’t meet expectations. Like NBA Live on next-gen and even Battlefield 3 before it, BF4 launched in what we’d describe as a beta....

Pinckney was one of six people who died in Philly that night, and it’s a troubling trend, especially for Waiters. The Philadelphia native knows about street violence all too well. Before he was 16, two of his cousins and his best friend were gunned down in the streets. He nearly met the same fate.

What we’ve witnessed in the space of one brief, bloody week is yet another display of how effective terrorists can be. Not just in terms of killing people. But by changing the political landscape they leave amid the wreckage-whether it’s Saudi Arabia in the East, Morocco in the West or Israel at the heart of it all. Take Israel. After five suicide attacks in less than 48 hours, the Israeli government of Ariel Sharon drove a stake through the heart of the road map process....

Yet here the Mavericks are, one day after being eliminated from the postseason in a 4-1 series against their biggest rivals, the Rockets. And things in Dallas haven’t seemed this bleak in more than 15 years. MORE: Carlisle says Rondo is gone | Dirk loses cool with microphone | Nowitzki on Nash Is this how far we’ve come?

Lahiri, who is now two-over 215 for three rounds, needs to finish inside tied-41 to be able to qualify for the third leg of the Play-offs. Earlier, Lahiri missed the cut at the Northern Trust, the first of the four events, which will end with the Tour Championships featuring the Top-30 players. The Indian was 66th on the FedExCup standings going into the second round and needs to be 70 or better....

It has been alleged that Ravi Kumar’s contract has been forged by the said club, something which owner Ranjit Bajaj vehemently disagrees with. The club has apparently filed a criminal case against Kumar under Economic offences wing. The goalkeeper was picked up by NorthEast United at the Indian Super League (ISL) draft in July. The Disciplinary Committee has U N Banerjee, AN Roy, Adithya Reddy, Amit Anand Tiwari, Krishendu Banerjee, Harish Vohra and SPS Pundir as its members....

When Madonna raided gay underground styles for last year’s “Vogue” extravaganza, she drew a new model for pop success. Instead of playing down vogueing’s eccentricities for the mainstream, she played them up. And it worked. Madonna got a No. 1 hit, and vogueing moved from Harlem drag balls to middle America–a little late, maybe, but with most of its gewgaws intact. Two new groups, Deee-Lite and C+C Music Factory, take this model to heart....

Now, in an attempt to make voice quality clearer for video game-focused communities, friend groups, and businesses that have moved to work in potentially “non-ideal” situations at home, Discord has announced a partnership with Krisp.ai to beta test background noise suppression when using voice chat. The feature is available on desktop and mobile now, as Discord “didn’t want to wait on technology that can be helpful in a lot of your current situations....

Sadly, this doesn’t seem to work with animated GIFs. Also, saving static images from tweets is currently unavailable in Discord for Windows and Discord for Android. Only version 60.0 of the Discord app for iOS appears to have this helpful new feature implemented.

From the start of the first season, it was obvious that Disenchantment’s main advantage to its predecessors was its stunning animated visuals of the fantastical far-off Dreamland. By the end of the first season, it felt like aesthetic appeal might be the show’s only advantage. However, with each new season, Disenchantment seems to improve and figure out just little a bit more of what it wants to be. It isn’t comparable to The Simpsons or Futurama, but this might be because Disenchantment has become something entirely different....

The world of Disney Dreamlight Valley is filled with multiple biomes that can be discovered (but at a price). Each one costs a certain amount of Dreamlight, meaning players won’t have the luxury to search every biome at their leisure. Luckily, there is one biome that can be unlocked in the early game that provides Sand.

The last major update to the game brought Buzz, Woody, and Stitch and a new festive-themed Star Path for gamers to show off their holiday spirit in-game. One player took the holiday spirit to a new level by turning their Disney Dreamlight Valley character into The Grinch while fans await more content. The updates have not been easy, however, with one bug in the last update making crafting temporarily unavailable and some storylines soft-locked....

That Disney+ has taken content that had already been edited and censored may explain some of the discrepancies in censorship. Some movies like Adventures in Babysitting and Free Solo have swear words taken out, but X-Men: The Last Stand still features Juggernaut (played by Vinnie Jones) saying, “I’m the Juggernaut, b****,” for example. All the content that has been censored on Disney+ Splash To remove a number of instances of nudity in the movie, Disney has blurred out some bare butts, cropped others out, and in one scene that has gone viral on Twitter, covered Daryl Hannah’s backside with digital hair/fur....

The video, which was obtained exclusively by KDVR-TV in Denver, was captured from a witnesses’ doorbell camera near Washington St. and Cleveland Place at around 7:40 a.m. local time on Tuesday morning. In the video, a white box truck can be seen and a woman can be heard screaming. The video appears to show two individuals near the back of the truck. One individual appears to be throwing items in the back of the truck and as the video continues, the other individual appears to shut the backdoor of the truck quickly....

Numerous posts have started to appear on community driven sites like Reddit where The Division 2 player base appears upset by recent exotic gear changes. The biggest complaint from the community is that the changes made each unique item too simple by removing their unique talents and replacing them with something a bit more generic and easier to understand. Some are even claiming that the nerfs were done to the DC exotics in order to make the new Warlords of New York exotics more appealing and thereby pushing players to grab the paid expansion....

Until now, talk of what’s coming with October’s huge 1.4 update have been vague. But thanks to this week’s State of the Game livesteam by Massive, The Division players are starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. While the livestream presenters didn’t share everything that’s coming with update 1.4, they hit on a few of the most controversial issues currently plaguing The Division. And so far, the planned updates look good....

Reddit user CodeDux has managed to explore these areas, in a manner not unlike how players accessed the secret Central Park area in the game. In the Dark Zone area CodeDux managed to reach, designated DZ08, there’s mostly just empty streets and abandoned cars, as previously mentioned. However, CodeDux also managed to find some more interesting bits in this new Dark Zone area that hint that it may possibly be fleshed out as future DLC for The Division....
