Photoshopped images of the president have filled Twitter feeds in recent days. The meme has recently been claimed by Biden supporters, who have transformed the original mockery of “Dark Brandon” into an unironic show of support for the president. The term “Dark Brandon” started surfacing on social media in early 2022, according to Know Your Meme, as a reflection of the “Dark MAGA” trend created by far-right Trump-supporters wishing for the former president to make a vengeful, unhinged comeback into U....

Using radiation or particles to see through objects is something scientists have done for decades and across a variety of industries. Commercial aviation has made use of neutrons and gamma rays to scan the interiors of airfreight containers for illicit materials, and x-ray scans are widely used in healthcare to see the bone structure of our bodies. However, none of the methods devised so far can see through particularly thick walls or map deep underground structures, which puts a limit on military uses....

The ruling came after a 17-day media circus of a trial in which Brooks—who represented himself—was regularly featured in national news and social media feeds for his bizarre outbursts in court and consistent altercations with the judge overseeing the case. But it also comes just two weeks before election day––with the trial and Brooks playing an unexpected role in a key battleground race that could decide control of the U....

That’s at least the case in Taiwan as multiple dating apps have been developed to literally provide company for people as they close their eyes for the night. Until recently one such app called PlayOne provided online communication for gaming and other purposes. Then, developers added a rather unique option titled “Calling to sleep.” It’s just as you would expect. Well, almost. Users who use this option choose characteristics they desire in a virtual companion—namely, that the person on the other phone will be there when it’s time to go to sleep....

In an emotional interview with CNN on Monday night, Naisha Wright described how her family had been left devastated by the death of her 20-year-old nephew. On Sunday, officers stopped Wright for a traffic violation and found out he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. He reportedly tried to get back into his car and was shot by the officer. Police authorities said that the officer involved, Kim Potter, who had been with the Brooklyn Center Police Department for 26 years, had mistaken her gun for a Taser....

It was largely centered around Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones’ controversial roughing the passer call on Derek Carr that had Chiefs fans relentlessly booing officials and football pundits lambasting referees for throwing the flag.

The renowned comedian has been embroiled in a row with the transgender community for remarks in his stand-up special, The Closer, and the situation was ever-present at a recent show he performed for his alma mater. On Tuesday, Chappelle visited the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington D.C. for a performance in front of an almost 600-strong crowd. The 48-year-old graduated from the school in 1991. According to a detailed report from the event from Politico Playbook, many people in the audience confronted Chappelle about his jokes about trans people and the backlash that has ensued....

Chappelle announced the challenge on Instagram, writing that people can make donations to the Washington, D.C., school with a note indicating if they approve of renaming the theater after him or object to the move. He said if more money is raised by people in objection, “I will gladly step aside.” However, if more people donate in approval, “I will happily attend the naming ceremony.” “While we appreciate Dave’s impromptu and spirited fundraising initiative, we stand behind our decision to honor the wishes of our co-founder, the late Peggy Cooper Cafritz, to name the theatre after Chappelle,” the school said in giving its official position on the contest....

A case can be made with sabermetrics that Stieb — not Jack Morris — was the best pitcher of the 1980s and would be a worthy addition to Cooperstown. But by traditional measures, the former Toronto Blue Jays ace might have looked far short of a plaque, with sciatica and other ailments chasing Stieb away from the game in his mid-30s and limiting him to 176 wins. Stieb drew just 1....

It was a bizarre impulse under the circumstances, but perfectly in keeping with the public persona Simpson had painstakingly constructed throughout his life. As a child in the Potrero Hill housing project of San Francisco, lie learned the importance of disguising his inner life, and it was a lesson he never forgot. “The ghetto,” he wrote in his autobiography in 1970, made “you want to hide your real identity-from cops, from teachers, and even from yourself....

History, not photography, brought me to Beijing. I arrived in late 1993 as a graduate student, intending to spend a year at Peking University studying the Tang dynasty Empress Wu Zetian. But I felt restricted on campus and wondered, “Where is the real China?” I began working in NEWSWEEK’s Beijing bureau, and in early 1995 found myself assigned as a “fixer” for a visiting photographer. That was Peter Turnley; he asked if I’d ever taken photos myself (which I had, but not to make a living), gave me plenty of film and asked me to bring my own camera on the assignment in order “not to get bored....

How much money will that driver make? Well, that’s a bit of a mystery. Back in 2016, NASCAR changed its policy and stopped disclosing racers’ earnings in Cup Series box scores because of its charter system. The move frustrated fans in part because it eliminated interesting conversations about total winnings and made driver comparisons more difficult. Last year, though, NASCAR peeled back the curtain ahead of the Daytona 500 by announcing a record-setting purse would be distributed among 40 drivers....
