Still, if the cat has one true nemesis, it’s the bird—the only opponent capable of flying away. Two battling cats made the internet chuckle this week, after putting aside their differences to focus on a bird. In a clip posted to Reddit’s r/AnimalsBeingDerps forum by user u/babayum6969, two tabbies can be seen exchanging blows on a window sill—until they hear the unmistakable chirp of a feathered foe. The pair immediately stop brawling and look in the direction of the sound, ready to pounce....

Rebecca Haynie and Donald Keith Phillips were charged with the killing of William Kirby Smith Jr., who was Haynie’s husband at the time, inside Kirby’s Speed Shop in Columbus. Prosecutors accused Haynie and Phillips, her alleged lover, of conspiring to kill Smith and ultimately shooting him twice.

Trooper Christopher Baldner is accused of causing an SUV to flip, which ejected and killed 11-year-old Monica Goods on December 22, 2020. An Ulster County judge denied him bail on November 4. Baldner is also accused of pepper-spraying the vehicle that the Goods family occupied and ramming his car into theirs twice, causing it to flip.

The rest of the evidence turned up slowly but steadily in the days ahead. There was a piece of fiberglass impregnated with crystals of explosive residue and tiny markings on the drill bit used to break the lock on a gate to a quarry where blasting munitions were stored. Meanwhile, traces of a chemical used to make detonation cord were found on the prime suspect’s clothing–and on the knife he had allegedly used to cut the bomb fuse, and the earplugs he’d worn to shield his ears from the blast....

After the first half of "60 Minutes" detailed the league's case against Alex Rodriguez, who on Saturday was suspended for the entirety of the 2014 season, CBS' Scott Pelley offered the final word. "And Bud Selig has announced his retirement as commissioner of baseball," Pelley said. "Part of his legacy is the establishment of the toughest anti-doping rules in all of American pro sports." Why was MLB willing to air the dirty laundry of a case that it basically won?...

“I’m young, so I’m on the field with guys who I watched and played video games with,” Smith-Schuster told Sporting News on Friday. “I’m pretty much like a fanboy on the field.” Smith-Schuster, who participated in a youth skills clinic in conjunction with Panini at Super Bowl 52 festivities Friday, enjoyed a debut season in which he finished with 917 receiving yards and seven TDs. He became another exciting offensive piece around star players Ben Roethlisberger, Le’Veon Bell, and Antonio Brown....

I can’t believe it. Wait, yes I can. It wasn’t the first, nor the last, time Hollywood has sought to deny women of color the opportunity to play themselves. And while I wasn’t even shocked to learn that after someone pointed out that Tubman was black, the studio president replied, “That was so long ago, no one will know that,” I am still outraged. Hollywood has a long history of whitewashing women of color....

While dozens of cities are continuing to move forward with their fireworks shows and celebrations for the upcoming holiday, other events in Phoenix, Arizona; Sacramento, California; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Ottawa, Kansas; Fairfax, Virginia; and two cities in Maryland have announced that their fireworks events have been either canceled or postponed. The announcements by several cities come shortly after one economist says President Biden will have to admit that the economy is in a recession, and a few months after the American Pyrotechnics Association issued a memo saying that “various industry segments have all been impacted” by supply chain issues, a rise in inflation and staffing shortages....

Lunar eclipses only occur when the moon is full, meaning when the Earth is located directly between the sun and our natural satellite. Technically, this happens roughly once month at a specific moment in time—which in this case is 12:44 a.m. EDT, July 5, or 9:44 p.m. PDT, July 4. However, the moon will appear full to most observers for about a day either side of this instance. The moon will rise in the east after sunset on July 4, and will be visible in the sky fully illuminated—appearing like a perfect circle—until dawn....

Clearly Cubs outfielder Junior Lake didn't get the memo. MORE: Sports radio blasts Daniel Murphy | David Ross does “Major League” It's not exactly on the same level as "The Natinals," but it's close.

Empire star Smollett, 40, was released from Chicago’s Cook County Jail in March, pending appeal, less than a week after a judge had sentenced him to 150 days behind bars.

Making an appearance on SiriusXM’s Sway in the Morning on Tuesday, Smollett—who is currently promoting his feature directorial debut B-Boy Blues—insisted to host Sway Calloway that he did not stage his own attack....
