Moments after India’s maiden Test series triumph in Australia, Shastri hit back at the critics, including the legendry Sunil Gavaskar, who had questioned selections and the training regimen of the team. “I said in Melbourne - I think I mentioned people taking pot shots and firing blanks. I wasn’t joking there, because I knew how hard this team had worked. When you fire from there, by the time it crosses the southern hemisphere, it’s blown away by the wind like a tracer bullet,” Shastri told reporters after the 2-1 Test series triumph over Australia, India’s first in 71 years....

Kirschner, who now works as an analyst on MSNBC, made the comment on Twitter and discussed the theory further on the Wednesday edition of Justice Matters, his show that’s posted on his YouTube channel.

Coraline’s parents seem to always be too busy for her and don’t give her the attention or life that she’d like. So when she finds a small door that leads to a magical place where everything is better, she is blind when it comes to realizing that this is too good to be true....

The House of Representatives voted 232 to 197 to charge Trump with “incitement of insurrection” after a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6 to protest the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s win. Five people died in the riot, including one law enforcement officer. “Shortly before the Joint Session commenced, President Trump, addressed a crowd at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C. There, he reiterated false claims that ‘we won this election, and we won it by a landslide,’” the impeachment article read....

They may be deemed untrainable, but the level of intelligence and capability of some cats ring high on the IQ meter. Cats in general have a brain structure that resembles that of the most intelligent animals in the ecosystem, including human beings. In fact, a cat’s cat’s cerebral cortex—the part of the brain that manages rational decision making and complex problem solving—boasts some 300 million neurons, according to Psychology Today....

The recall is for the Santa Fe Sport from 2013 through 2015, Elantra from 2019 and 2020, and Kona and Veloster from 2019 through 2021. “Nothing is more important than the safety and security of Hyundai customers,” Hyundai spokesman Michael Stewart said in a statement to Newsweek. “Hyundai actively monitors and evaluates potential safety concerns with all of our vehicles. When a safety-related defect is identified, we act swiftly and efficiently to recall the vehicle and fix the problem at no cost to affected customers....

The Cowboys’ campaign has effectively been on life support from the moment star quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a season-ending injury in Week 5, but the dismal state of the NFC East allowed Dallas to retain slim hopes of making an improbable playoffs run. While they remain somewhat incredibly just two games behind the New York Giants and the Washington Football Team, who currently share the lead of the NFC East, those hopes are all but extinguished following the loss in Baltimore, which left Dallas rock bottom of the division with a 3-9 record....

Andrew McCutchen hit a two-run walk-off homer in the 14th inning July 12. Gregory Polanco added a walk-off single as part of a three-run 10th inning on Sunday Night Baseball.

Perhaps most prominently, the focus on allegedly absent black fathers was offered up again this week by the right-wing PragerU in a video by radio host Larry Elder, who did what so many other people who believe this myth do: conflate marriage statistics with fatherlessness. (No hyperlink here; I generally do not link to misleading data.) In writing my book All In, I looked into a wide range of statistics about fatherhood and explored the methodologies behind them to see whether they were presenting an accurate picture....

The allegations of misconduct are a recent cascade of MeToo accusations of sexual harassment from six women, some of whom were working for Cuomo at the the time of the alleged misconduct.

The accusations have led to a growing chorus calling on the governor to resign, most recently from New York City’s Mayor Bill de Blasio....
