Axios reported that Toyota gave $55,000 to 37 Republican objectors this year, based on data from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). The car manufacturer gave more than twice as much as the second company on the list, Cubic Corp., a San Diego-based defense contractor. Axios reported that Toyota defended the donations, with a spokesperson saying in a statement that: “We do not believe it is appropriate to judge members of Congress solely based on their votes on the electoral certification....

Dog trainer Alexandra Cote shared footage of her canine companion Tesla blindly falling backwards into her arms on TikTok. “She knows I’ll always be there to catch her,” Cote wrote alongside the video, which has already been watched over 5.2 million times on social media. Commenting on the video, one TikTok user called the clip the “definition of trust.” Dogs have been shown to be capable of trusting humans from an early age....

The series has also had a penchant for hiding plenty of references and Easter eggs in plain sight, something which Borderlands 3 is likely going to continue when it launches in September. Before the highly anticipated next installment finally arrives, here are some of the best Easter eggs in the series. RELATED: Borderlands 3 is ‘Much Bigger’ Than Borderlands 2 13 Fun With Barrels - Borderlands Unlike the other games in the franchise, the very first Borderlands didn’t have too many Easter eggs for fans to discover....

The open beta for Drifters is up now on Steam, and anyone who likes a novel shooter experience should check it out for its charming stylings and one-of-a-kind traversal mechanics. With both jetpacks and grappling hooks, an array of unique and wacky characters zoom, swing, and tumble through space-themed maps in a frantic hunt for treasure. It’s rare that shooters put so much focus into movement, which is one of the cores of practically any game, but often goes unnoticed....

Class mods are items in Borderlands 3 that can be equipped to give boost to specific stats and even grant bonus points in skill trees. These items can drop from various sources, including the Golden Chest, Moxxi’s slot machines, and random world drops. However, if players acquire them early on in the game, then they will be unable to equip them. To gain access to class mods, players will need to complete the “Hostile Takeover” mission on Promethea....

In the first Borderlands, players gained health at a rate of 15 per level, which often resulted in players using the same guns throughout an entire playthrough. Borderlands 2 changed the formula, making player health rise at the exponential rate of 13% per level, resulting in massive health pools by the end of the game and weapons that felt more or less disposable. Now, however, SirArkhon believes that Gearbox has found a “Goldilocks zone” between the two games, which should make playthroughs feel better than they did in the other games, even more so with Borderlands 3 endgame content....

Before moving forward, it’s worth highlighting how Borderlands 2 handled level cap increases and how that differs from Borderlands 3. Outside its 4 major story DLCs and the minor holiday-oriented ones, there were two Ultimate Vault Hunter packs in Borderlands 2. The first one, which released in March 2013, increased the level cap from 50 to 61 and introduced UVHM, and the second, which released in September 2013, raised that cap from 61 to 72 and introduced Digistruct Peak....

In one of Reddit’s recent top upvoted posts, the big issue with Borderlands 3 endgame loot grinding is made transparently clear. The graph shows the typical gameplay loop for farming a boss. The vast majority of the player’s time is shown to be caught up in loading screens, while only a small amount of time is allotted to actually fighting and looting the boss. To a degree, the post is an exaggeration for the sake of clarity and humor....

Borussia Monchengladbach come into this game on the back of a 1-0 win over Uwe Neuhaus’ Arminia Bielefeld last Saturday at the Bielefelder Alm. A second-half goal from Switzerland international Breel Embolo ensured victory for Marco Rose’s Borussia Monchengladbach. Bayern Munich, on the other hand, thrashed Bo Svensson’s Mainz 5-2 last Sunday at the Allianz Arena. A brace from star striker Robert Lewandowski and goals from the talented Joshua Kimmich, winger Leroy Sane and centre-back Niklas Sule sealed the win for Bayern Munich....

In a Reddit post published on r/antiwork, Redditor u/RocketLambo said they compiled data to justify their request, but were ignored and told that current inflation rates did not affect them. Titled, “I asked my boss for a raise. She shamed me for it, so I left for a better job,” the post has received more than 8,000 votes and 99 percent upvotes. Writing that they have been trying to buy a house since before the beginning of the pandemic, u/RocketLambo said they thought the data collected would help sway their boss, but were disappointed when she disregarded the information....

Some veritable fireworks erupted in a Double-A match that involved Boston Red Sox Double-A affiliate, the Portland Sea Dogs.

Boston Red Sox youth with a bright future takes swings at the opposition The prospect in question was none other than Red Sox prospect Tyreque Reed.

Many draft analysts have given Cleveland an “A” for last week’s draft selections. Sorry, I’m not buying into the Browns hype. Yes, the Browns added some likely starters and potentially strong contributors in their three first-rounders, Myles Garrett, Jabrill Peppers and David Njoku. But what about the franchise quarterback the team has lacked for decades? It’s a stretch to believe DeShone Kizer, who the Browns picked No. 52 overall, will be an elite passer....

Japan vs Germany There’s pressure on Germany to do well this year because of the players they’ve got and the performances they’ve put in during the last tournaments. They’re one of the best sides, they’ve got a really good squad, they’ve got depth. These players play in the UEFA Champions League and in big games every single season for some of the best teams in Europe. I can see Germany winning the group and going at least to the quarterfinals....

The clip was shared by Shaul Turner, a reporter for KDVR in Denver, who tweeted: “He was on his way to pick up coffee at the King Soopers in Boulder on Table Mesa Dr. when he saw a terrible sight after shots were fired.” The video has had over 500,000 views since it was first shared on Monday. The man recalled being “just terrified, honestly. I was in shock initially when we realized what was happening....

The home side have largely struggled to adapt to the demands of top-flight football and currently find themselves just outside the drop zone. They were beaten 2-0 by Brentford in their last game and could have no complaints after struggling to create any noteworthy chances to alter the result. Bournemouth sit 17th in the league table with just 16 points from 19 games. They will now be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways this weekend....

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Professionals posted mixed results on Saturday, the first day that non-amateur boxers have been allowed to compete at the Olympics. Cameroon’s Hassan N’Dam N’jikam, a former WBO interim middleweight champion who is now fighting as a light heavyweight, lost to Brazilian amateur Michel Borges in a unanimous decision that delighted a raucous home crowd. Earlier on Saturday, Italy’s Carmine Tommasone made boxing history when he became the first fully professional fighter to compete, winning his opening bout against a Mexican amateur....

Gorman stated: Gorman explained that wealth without health means nothing in the long run, but praised Fury for still getting in the ring with a terrifying fighter like Deontay Wilder. The best thing to have is one’s happiness and health because without it all of the accomplishments earned don’t mean anything: Nathan Gorman stated that if Tyson Fury returns to the ring, even if it costs half a billion like he’s asked, he deserves every penny for all he’s gone through and done for the sport....

Over the past several months, shelters in Mexico border cities like Tijuana, Nogales, and Ciudad Juárez hosted hundreds of migrants seeking entry to the U.S. These shelters encountered a steady stream of migrants in need, leading them to reach full capacity as resources depleted. The Biden administration’s recent move allowing “vulnerable” migrants to seek asylum means more people leaving the shelters and seeking entry to the U.S. at Customs and Border Protection (CBP) checkpoints....
