Black Ops 6's Next Season Begins August 7th
Season 5 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 drops August 7th at 9 a.m. PT, according to the in-game Battle Pass timer. It's not confirmed to be the final season, but it may as well be. Seasons typically run for 8 weeks, and the first look at Black Ops 7 is scheduled for August 19th at Gamescom. COD typically releases in October or November, so I expect a release date announcement that will coincide with the end of Season 5.
The main event is the new Zombies map, The Reckoning, set in Janus Towers. If you completed the Easter egg on Shattered Veil, you already know that players will team up with Richtofen to take on S.A.M. and wrap up the Dark Aether storyline. This was recently confirmed during an episode of the COD Pod, where Senior Communications Director Stephanie Snowden announced that Janus Towers will be the final Zombies map in Black Ops 6. Some fans expected more DLC drops, but it sounds like Treyarch is deciding to focus on Black Ops 7 instead.
Multiplayer's getting some love too; new maps, modes, and a rumored return of Operator Sims as the Battle Pass headliner. Oh, and there's the crossover with I Know What You Did Last Summer to look forward to as well.
Finally, the Battle Pass will bring the M249 LMG to the game. Info leaked by dataminers says we might also get the MP-40, M60, APS underwater rifle, and even a chainsaw. Not exactly subtle, but very on brand for this era of COD.
If it works like the other seasons have, this season should run for eight weeks, with a mid-season update coming at the halfway point. With Zombies wrapping up and Black Ops 7 right around the corner, this is definitely one to show up for.

Golden Retriever Becomes the Star of Grandma's Sleepover — Backpack and Hat Included (Exclusive)
Wally, a 4-year-old golden retriever, has become an internet favorite thanks to his big emotionsNEED TO KNOW Julia Moriggi, 34, and her fiancé got Wally, a golden retriever, when he was an 8-week-old puppy Now 4, Wally has become an internet favorite thanks to his big emotions — both joyful and heart-wrenching Recently, Moriggi shared a video of Wally arriving to a sleepover at his grandma's, which went viral and amassed over 7 million viewsWally, a 4-year-old golden retriever, has become an internet favorite thanks to his big emotions — both joyful and heart-wrenching. His mom, Julia Moriggi, 34, and her fiancé have had Wally since he was just an 8-week-old puppy. The couple has always loved golden retrievers, and in 2020, they decided to buy a house after their landlord told them they couldn't have a dog. Realizing life is short, they committed to doing whatever it took to make their dream of having a golden puppy come true. Since then, their lives have never been the same. Their world now revolves around Wally and they wouldn't have it any other way. They've even created a social media account for him on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, where hundreds of thousands of followers tune in to watch Wally share his big feelings through strikingly human-like facial expressions. 'He is a very special dog that has touched the lives of so many people,' Moriggi tells PEOPLE exclusively. 'He is extremely intelligent and intuitive, and we've caught him on camera seemingly fully understanding what we are saying. He is truly a one-of-a-kind dog." When Moriggi and her fiancé travel and Wally can't tag along, he stays with his beloved grandma and grandpa — Moriggi's parents. While he sometimes spends several days with them, his most recent visit was just an overnight stay. Before his latest sleepover, Moriggi packed Wally's little backpack with his favorite toys, food and treats. At her mom's house, she says Wally has his own bed, and grandma always goes the extra mile, making sure there's a new toy or treat waiting for him when he arrives. 'They're the only ones who watch him, and they get so excited when he comes to visit,' Moriggi says. 'They truly treat him like their grandchild.' 'He is obsessed with her,' the product analyst and creator adds. 'Whenever he sees her, he absolutely loses his mind. He loves her so much, but I think she might love him even more. She'll literally pet him for hours, so he knows when he sees her, he's about to get a lot of love (and snacks).' After getting Wally's things ready, Moriggi loaded him into the car and headed off to her parents' house, about an hour away from their home in Boston. As the family got closer, she says Wally smelled where they were going and started bouncing around in the backseat, eager to get out. Once they arrived and parked, Moriggi got Wally out of the car and dressed him in his little backpack and hat, hoping to to surprise grandma with how cute he looked. As they made their way to the door, Moriggi pulled out her phone and began filming the moment. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! 'When grandma opened the door, he ran inside, said hi to grandpa, and immediately found the present waiting for him,' Moriggi recalls. 'He knew exactly where to look because she always has one waiting. He grabbed the whole bag and ran around showing it off to everyone, which was the best part of the video. It's a ritual every time we visit or she comes to our house.' "The hat and backpack started falling off as he got more and more excited,' she says. 'It made the video a little chaotic and so funny.' Later, Moriggi shared the sweet moment online, where it quickly went viral, racking up 7.7 million views and 3,700 comments as of Monday, Aug. 4. What's your sign?

"The backpack and bucket hat 😭 he's the cutest little toddler omg," another wrote. Someone else said, "He's so happy he literally doesn't know what to do with himself ☺️🤗." For the dog mom, it's always exciting when a video goes viral, especially when it features Wally and his grandma. Although the duo has had a few viral moments together, Moriggi says her mom still finds it 'so crazy' and is amazed when people recognize her.

'A lot of people say the video made them smile when they were having a bad day, was the perfect start to their morning, or the best thing they saw on the internet today,' Moriggi says. 'People also share that Wally reminds them of their dogs who have passed away, and they include a little story about them. These comments always bring me to tears.' "Another comment that kept showing up on this video was, 'This is how all animals deserve to be treated and loved,' and that one really hit because it is so true,' Moriggi adds. 'People were also saying they want to be Wally, or come back in their next life as him. They also wondered if they could be adopted into our family or go visit grandma themselves, which always makes us laugh." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Kylie Jenner Embraces Summer's Wildest Flip-Flops
Love it or loathe it, it's undeniably the summer of flip-flops. The humble beach shoe, favored for its simplicity and ease, has been trending in a more high-fashion context this season. Suddenly, there are now celebrities wearing $750 The Row flip-flops with bright red soles, or flip-flops with sky-high platforms that are totally reminiscent of the '90s. The sandal has become less about something you wear to take a quick dip in the ocean, and more about making a bold statement. Naturally, Kylie Jenner is embracing the latter: She just posted an Instagram 'fit pic in which she is rocking one of the wildest flip-flops on the market. 'The energy I'm bringing to my shoot today,' Jenner captioned her selfie, in which she is rocking a death-defying pair of ERL clunkers. Coming in with a staggering 5-inch platform, the $375 style requires serious balancing skills, and instantly commands an outfit. Jenner styled them with a black bra top and athletic track pants, allowing them to be the focal point. (I mean, the supersized shoes are hard to miss.)

Judge again rejects Sean 'Diddy' Combs' efforts to be released ahead of sentencing
A federal judge denied a motion to release Sean 'Diddy' Combs on Monday, keeping the musician and hip-hop businessman jailed until his sentencing this fall. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian of the Southern District of New York found that Combs, convicted on two counts of interstate prostitution last month, "fails to satisfy his burden to demonstrate an entitlement to release." The judge's decision came after Combs' ex-girlfriend Virginia Huynh, who was set to testify in his federal trial but dropped out before the proceedings started, wrote a letter to the judge urging his release on bail. Huynh was identified as 'Victim-3' in the federal government's sprawling indictment against Combs, 55, who was acquitted in early July of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges but convicted on two counts of interstate prostitution. In the letter, Huynh — publicly identifying herself by name for the first time — wrote that she wanted to 'share my observations about [Combs'] character and to respectfully request that the Court permit his release on bond while the case proceeds.' 'I believe it is important for the Court to have a full picture of who he is beyond the allegations,' Huynh said in the one-page letter, which Combs' legal team filed Sunday. Huynh wrote that her relationship with Combs was 'not always perfect,' beset by 'ups and downs' and 'mistakes.' But in time, she wrote, he 'made visible efforts to become a better person and to address the harm he had caused.' By the end of their relationship, she added, 'he embodied an energy of love, patience and gentleness that was markedly different from his past behavior.' 'To my knowledge,' Huynh told Subramanian, 'he has not been violent for many years, and he has been committed to being a father first.' She said that she does not view Combs as 'a danger to me or to this community' and that his children 'depend on him for emotional and financial support.' 'Allowing him to be at home will also support the healing process for all involved,' Huynh wrote in closing. 'I respectfully ask that you consider these factors when deciding his eligibility for release.' In a letter to Subramanian last month, prosecutors argued that Combs should not be given bail because he is a flight risk and a danger to the community. In denying Combs' motion for bail Monday, Subramanian found that he failed to show sufficient evidence to counter arguments that he is a flight risk. Subramanian also found that Combs' argument that the squalor and danger of the Metropolitan Detention Center, where he is being held, did not warrant release. Combs argued that federal budget cuts this year made those conditions even worse. 'The public outcry concerning these conditions has come from all corners,' Subramanian wrote. 'But as Combs acknowledges, MDC staff has been able to keep him safe and attend to his needs, even during an incident of threatened violence from an inmate.' In the days before Combs' trial started, U.S. prosecutors said they were struggling to get in touch with 'Victim-3' and her attorney. She ultimately did not testify in the seven-week trial. The jurors heard testimony from two of Combs' other ex-girlfriends: R&B singer Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura and a woman referred to by the pseudonym 'Jane.' The prosecution called more than 30 other witnesses, including former assistants. Ventura testified about the abuse she alleged she experienced during her 10-year on-and-off relationship with Combs. She accused him of physical and sexual assault, and jurors were shown hotel security video of Combs beating her in a hallway in 2016. Combs, who pleaded not guilty, faced five criminal counts: one count of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking by fraud or coercion and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Subramanian also denied a bail request by Combs the day the jury's verdict came in, saying it would be impossible for him to prove he does not pose a danger. Combs is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 3. He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. This article was originally published on Solve the daily Crossword
