The r/WallStreetBets subreddit, which has the motto “Like 4chan found a Bloomberg terminal,” has been at the centre of a financial trading storm this week as members put money into GameStop—disrupting hedge fund short sellers who were betting the retailer would fail. Newsweek logged in to the new Discord server for r/WallStreetBets and can confirm that posting appears to have resumed at full throttle as members discuss investments. Discord lets users maintain their own communities and communicate using voice calls, video calls and text, alongside private and public chat rooms....

In recent months, many users have shared images of stacks of PS5s at various Walmart stores. Both standard editions and Horizon Forbidden West bundles were seen on shelves, so it seems like players can finally visit a nearby store and purchase a PS5 without having too much trouble. While this may not be true for all regions, signs point to PS5 stock considerably improving in the past few months. Now, fans have another chance to buy PS5 console bundles and other gaming products at an upcoming Walmart Gamer Drop....

First off, all the major gaming systems are available at significant discounts at Walmart during Black Friday this year. For example, players can snag the PlayStation 4 Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection bundle for a mere $299, or the Gears of War: Ultimate Edition Xbox One bundle (with a bonus $30 gift card) at the same price. Nintendo fans that are looking to upgrade to the Nintendo 3DS XL or the Wii U will also have options come Black Friday....

Wan-Bissaka is reportedly a transfer target for the Red Devils, but Palace are said to be demanding £50million for the full-back. The 21-year-old made 35 Premier League appearances in a breakthrough campaign last term and is on international duty at the European Under-21 Championship. Wan-Bissaka’s late own goal contributed to England losing their opening group game 2-1 against France and Boothroyd feels the defender has been affected by talk he could be moving to Old Trafford....

Marvel’s WandaVision has managed to capture the praise and attention of audiences throughout its airtime so far. The week-to-week format on Disney Plus has allowed for mass fan discussion, speculation, and analysis. Wanda and Vision’s twins Billy and Tommy have been one of the major catalysts of speculation, as their characters are well-known in the comics. WandaVision fans have been unsure about the future of Billy and Tommy in the MCU since they first appeared in the series....

Those who have been following any kind of WandaVision coverage will have come across theories of Agnes being a certain witchy Marvel character from the comics who shares a certain ornamental brooch. There seems to be a lot of validity in that theory based on this episode and if that is the case there are still many mysteries surrounding her and her motivations. Agnes may be Agatha Harkness who in the comics has a strong connection to Tommy and Billy and who serves as a wise ancient witch teacher who helps Wanda hone her abilities....

In his critically acclaimed 2002 book “War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning,” Hedges treated war as the ultimate narcotic, an addiction he himself had barely managed to kick. Now, in “What Every Person Should Know About War,” he offers up a handbook of simple questions and answers about war that range from the mundane, even silly (“Will I make friends during combat?”) to the morbid (“What will my body look like after I die?...

Thousands of years before World of Warcraft, Azeroth was mostly condensed onto one continent known as Kalimdor. However, all of that changed during the War of the Ancients when the Burning Legion first invaded the world. The war would result in the event known as the Great Sundering which shattered the continent of Kalimdor and created the continents that are in World of Warcraft. It was a catastrophic event that shook up the very fabric of Azeroth, and forever altered the trajectory of its residents....

While Vyepti is administered as an IV infusion every three months, other approved CGRP monoclonal antibodies for migraine prevention—Aimovig (erenumab), Ajovy (fremanezumab), and Emgality (galcanezumab)—are administered as a shot, either monthly or once every three months (depending on the drug). The latest CGRP to get approval for this condition, Nurtec ODT (rimegepant), is taken in pill form once every other day for migraine prevention. Uses Vyepti was approved by the U....

This is a president who likes his stories upbeat, his plotlines simple and his villains clearly marked. So it was no surprise that last week he settled comfortably–almost with a sense of relief–into the constitutional role he has come to like best: commander in chief. He improvised at the launch of Operation Iraqi Freedom–authorizing a jet-scrambling “decapitation” attack on Saddam–but that was the exception to his rule. Surrounded by trusted aides, glad to be done with the United Nations (which, one aide said, was like “trying to herd cats”), Bush seemed to fall naturally into a tight-lipped determination....

According to the former Bills coach’s book, “Son of Bum,” an NFL officiating crew traveled to the Bills’ facility in the offseason after Buffalo’s 22-16 loss to the Titans in the AFC wild-card round (courtesy of the Music City Miracle). They were there to review rule changes for the 2000 season, using video of certain plays from the previous year to highlight how and why certain calls were made on the field....

By the end of Saturday afternoon, police said that more than 750,000 people–organizers put the figure at more than two million–had come together in Hyde Park to demonstrate against the prospect of military action against Iraq. “It was just amazing to see so many people of so many different types, backgrounds and religions,” said student Siobhan Ainger, leaving the park as dusk fell. And while London staged the largest demonstration ever witnessed in Britain’s capital, rallies in at least 50 other cities across the world drew a mixed turnout....

Steve Mounie saw red for Huddersfield midway through the first half of Saturday’s encounter, which was settled by Florin Andone’s first Brighton goal in the 69th minute. Mounie’s dismissal came after Mathias Jorgensen had netted the fastest Premier League goal of the season, with Shane Duffy then restoring parity in first-half stoppage time. Wagner believes referee Oliver made a harsh call in awarding a red card for Mounie’s challenge on Yves Bissouma and suggested a late tackle by Brighton’s Leon Balogun should have resulted in a similar punishment....

Johnny Manziel, QB, Browns. The Johnny Football era may have dawned Sunday when Manziel replaced an ineffective Brian Hoyer in the second half of the loss at Buffalo. Manziel flashed his fantasy upside immediately, capping his first series with a TD run. While Manziel’s legs and creativity are the top two reasons we like Manziel as a QB2 pickup with QB1 upside, it doesn’t hurt that he’s surrounded by playmakers in the receiving corps and the backfield....

Rooney returned to his boyhood club ahead of this season after a trophy-laden 13 years at Manchester United but could be set to move on once more. On Friday, DC United head coach Ben Olsen confirmed his club’s interest in signing the 32-year-old, who has scored 11 goals in all competitions in 2017-18. Everton boss Sam Allardyce insisted Rooney has not put in a transfer request and Walcott - who joined the Toffees from Arsenal in January - hopes to see his team-mate remain at Goodison Park....

Although Black Friday traditionally follows Thanksgiving, it has become an entity unto itself, with Black Friday first dominating an entire week, and now even longer. There are already several deals through Walmart’s early Black Friday included among the gaming-related offerings such as appliances, furniture, and toys. Although gamers might be holding off for the official Black Friday, some want to look out for these early Walmart price decreases ahead of Thanksgiving celebrations....

According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, Franco has signed a 11-year, $185 million contract extension with Tampa Bay, easily surpassing the six-year, $100 million extension the Rays signed third baseman Evan Longoria to back in 2012. Franco’s deal is the latest large contract signed to a young prospect with little experience in the big leagues, and is a clear sign of the Rays’ belief in their star prospect’s talent as a franchise building block....

NISHIMURA: Japanese investigators are extremely capable. However, they tend to move on the basis of instinct. The problem is that instinct can’t be shared or stored in a database. So the knowledge of good cops isn’t shared. When you look at police reports, the most important elements are often missing because officers don’t want to disclose them. So I asked: “How do you find a child abductor or a serial killer unless people share police reports between prefectures?...
