Many lamented her role and influence in shaping the entertainment industry for decades. Comedian Kathy Griffin paid tribute in a series of tweets. “She hung out with my mom, like a peer. She treated me like we were in the same club or something. She actually treated me like an equal in the comedy gurrrl world,” she wrote....

Gabbard has faced widespread derision since making the statement in a video shared on Twitter on Sunday, with a number of her detractors appearing to believe—erroneously—that she had suggested the U.S. has funded biological weapons laboratories in Ukraine. While it is unclear whether Griffin also believed this to be the case, the comedian made her feelings clear about the former presidential hopeful’s claims. Taking to Twitter on Sunday, the Suddenly Susan star wrote: “This b**** is crazy....

“We knew before the home clash with Abia Warriors that we must win it because of our other rivals. We held series of meetings and talked among ourselves to ginger us up and be ready for them.

Sources close to the situation say the sell-off was sparked by the central government’s decision to shut down the internet, taking nearly 88,000 regional mines off-line and lowering the total global hashrate, the amount of energy being used to mine Bitcoin, by nearly 11% overnight.

That’s only the beginning of bucky ball’s talents. Last week, in the journal Nature, researchers led by Arthur Hebard of AT&T Bell Labs reported that when bucky balls are spiked with potassium, they carry electricity with no resistance, even at temperatures above where most such “superconductors” work. Although applications are years away, finding a superconductor with the composition and structure of the bucky ball is “remarkable and unanticipated,” says Arthur Sleight, a leading superconductivity researcher at Oregon State University, It thus promises to rekindle interest in high-temperature superconductors, which has cooled since their red-hot debut in 1987....

“This is why it’s so important to have a president who isn’t a typical politician, because he and his team don’t sit around and say, ‘well, let’s study it, let’s have a commission about it,’” Conway said during an interview with Fox News Sunday as she discussed the Trump administration’s response to a drone attack on Saudi oil fields that disrupted 5 percent of the global oil supply over the weekend....

“He makes the game of baseball cool," James says. Griffey Jr was all of that. The sweet left-handed swing. The wall-climbing catches. The backwards hat. For a generation of 90s baseball fan, Griffey Jr was the coolest athlete in all of sports. Griffey Jr.’s 1989 UpperDeck rookie card was the grail for a generation of collectors. While James might be this generation’s Michael Jordan, Griffey’s iconic match is evolving in another sport in the present day....

He had already won three of the first 16 races in his first season with Joe Gibbs Racing. He would win his fourth at Kentucky on the way to a career-best seven-win season and a runnerup finish in the Chase. A year later, there have been 10 different winners in the first 16 races, and Kenseth is not one of them. He’s fourth in points — relatively safe as far as making the Chase on points — but does not have a victory in a season when winning has never been more important....
