But one dad managed to inject a bit of personality into a children’s story, about a llama, after he decided to rap the words to the tune of Eminem’s hit Lose Yourself. Nathanael Press has earned himself legions of fans online with his edgy rendition of Llama Llama Red Pajama, by Anna Dewdney. Press, whose Instagram account indicates he welcomed baby Crew Solomon earlier this year, posted the rap to his TikTok account, @nathanaelpress, last week....

In the video, which has had nearly a million views, Jen can be seen walking through her home and into the bathroom before finding her caterpillar-like eyelash under a glass on the windowsill accompanied by the text, “Absolutely howling…” Human Whiskers Both eyelashes and eyebrows are prominent beauty accessories, as we dye, wax and tweeze them in to submission, but apart from the modern beauty habits, why do humans have them?...

In a Reddit post upvoted 12,800 times on the “Am I The A**hole” subreddit the divorced dad explained how his marriage broke down three years ago after his now ex-wife “raised the possibility of an open relationship.” Open relationships, or polyamory, are a type of intimate relationship involving multiple sexual partners, all of whom are aware of and consent to the arrangement. “That was a dealbreaker for her because she says she’s figured out that she’s non-monogamous by nature and felt stifled by not being able to express it,” the dad explained....

Newsom said 149 fatalities related to COVID-19 had occurred since Wednesday. California reached its previous highest count of fatalities in April when 115 deaths in a 24-hour period were reported. In total, 6,771 deaths related to the coronavirus have been reported in California. Governor Newsom called the loss of life was “devastating.” “To contemplate what families are going through, those 149 families, the loss of life that they’re dealing with as it relates to a loss of someone near and dear and it’s just a reminder—my gosh, what more of a reminder do you need—not only in terms of the spread and transmission of this virus, the ubiquity of this virus, not only across the state of California but recently all across this country,” Newsom said....

The Tigers, Yankees, Cubs, Padres and Rockies will be popular stacks during the early evening slate. For the late slate, the Marlins, D-backs, Indians and Mariners are great places to go for value picks and stacks.

Based on the splits, the Diamondbacks, Indians, Rockies, Mariners, and Astros offer prime stacking opportunities in the early FanDuel and DraftKings contests, and the Nationals look good for the late-night crowd. You could also build your team around Mets against Braves rookie John Gant or Angels against Kendall Graveman.

Sure, a few stacks stand out (Tigers, Cardinals), but we have more BvP numbers than usual, and there aren’t a lot of pitchers with significant righty or lefty splits. Of course, that doesn’t mean there aren’t values or sleepers out there. You can still use lefthanded batters to pick on mediocre righties like Tim Adleman, Ricky Nolasco, Tyler Cravy, and Cory Rasmus, but with a bunch of high-quality pitchers going today, getting the most out of your “non-obvious” hitter picks is key....

Cincinnati’s Great American Ball Park is known for scoring, particularly by way of the long ball. The pitching matchup on tap between the Reds and Brewers certainly does not appear to be one to shy away from, as veteran Bronson Arroyo will square off with big righthander Jimmy Nelson. With that in mind, let’s get our FanDuel tournament lineup started with some chalk on the mound. MORE DFS: SP rankings | Lineup Builder...

It’s about to be a wild few days as the trade deadline approaches, so be sure to pay close attention to rumors that could have players pulled from lineups at the last second.

Danny Salazar returned from the DL last week and spun a gem (one hit, eight Ks over seven shutout innings) and should continue to roll against the weak-hitting White Sox. Dallas Keuchel was dominant before he hit the DL for a neck strain, and he makes his return against the Tigers. He should pick up where he left off. Two lefties in Robbie Ray and Alex Wood are coming off arguably their worst outings of the year, but they should bounce back with favorable matchups against teams who aren’t great against lefties....

It’s a light slate as usual on Thursdays, but this one’s more difficult than usual. There are only three day games, which may deter you from playing that slate, and the worst part is that Madison Bumgarner, Kyle Hendricks, Zack Greinke, Dallas Keuchel and even Julio Urias (if you were going to get cute) all pitch early. MORE FANTASY: Prospect rankings | Waiver wire | Hitter picks Take those guys out, and today’s rankings look extremely thin....
