Just like how an image of a Rubik’s Cube instantly makes people of a certain age think of the 1980s, the image of Joe Exotic will forever be associated with the first wave of lockdowns due to the coronavirus. As we were all forced to stay in our homes, there was something appealing about escaping into this very strange world of murder, mayhem and mullets. Things might have been bad with us (we definitely could empathise with those tigers in their cages), but at least we weren’t having our arms mauled off or the subject of a murder plot involving being decapitated with razor wire....

“We have the quality in the team to turn things around. We have shown resilience in the last 18 months - winning from losing positions and coming back in the series. (I) really believe we can go out there and put things right where we need to,” Shrubsole said on the eve of the second ODI. India outclassed world champions England by 66 runs in the series opener on Friday....

Jurgen Klopp’s side looked to be coasting to victory on Spanish soil when they led 3-0 at the break, only to suffer a worrying second-half collapse that once again raised questions over their defensive deficiencies. Wissam Ben Yedder scored twice before Guido Pizarro struck a dramatic late equaliser to rescue a point for Sevilla and deny a shell-shocked Liverpool from qualifying for the knockout stages. Coutinho put the capitulation down to the players losing focus after such an impressive first half, something they can ill-afford to let happen again in the future....

Reports this week suggested left-back Kurzawa, who joined PSG from Monaco in 2015, was set to become Mikel Arteta’s first signing at Arsenal. However, the Frenchman joining on a free transfer at the end of the season is said to be more likely than a move this month. Kurzawa has been limited to 30 Ligue 1 appearances since Tuchel took over at PSG in May 2018, with the former Borussia Dortmund coach preferring to play Juan Bernat at left-back....

Neymar’s 50th goal for the Ligue 1 champions ultimately proved enough to salvage a point at Parc des Princes on Saturday, with Edinson Cavani missing a late penalty. It is now just one win in seven games across all competitions for PSG, who had the title wrapped up on April 21, and Nice were unfortunate that Allan Saint-Maximin failed to add to Ignatius Ganago’s strike before Neymar restored parity from the spot....

Hull have won five of their 11 league games since Silva took charge in January, with their latest success - 4-2 against relegation rivals Middlesbrough - lifting the team out of the bottom three. Vitoria pens Benfica extension With Silva’s deal only running until the end of the campaign, there is considerable interest in his future, but the Hull manager said those conversations must wait until the off-season. “At this moment I have a deal with our chairman and it’s clear, we have only one focus - to keep the club in the Premier League,” he told a pre-match news conference ahead of facing Manchester City....

Borderlands 4 could feature just about anything, and it will likely make some major quality of life improvements to the series’ regular gameplay loop. One small change could see weapon inspections added, as this mechanic would instantly give the game’s guns more personality. While it would be a major undertaking for a feature many may not use often, those that love collecting the Borderlands series’ unique weapons would surely appreciate the addition....

First up, the AFC game in Foxborough, Mass., where it was 19 degrees at game time for the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots. In Seattle, possible afternoon showers could leave soggy field conditions for Saturday night’s game between the Seahawks and Carolina Panthers. Sunday, it will be frigid in Green Bay when the Packers play host to the Dallas Cowboys. Why not? The teams played an iconic NFL title game now known as the Ice Bowl when it was 15 degrees below zero....

The midbrain is already one of the smallest regions of the brain, and Weber’s syndrome affects functions controlled by a small section of this region—eye movement being one. Even though this area of the brain is quite small, people with Weber’s syndrome can experience several major neurological problems. Symptoms Weber’s syndrome can cause sudden weakness and vision changes, usually blurred or double vision and eyelid droopiness. Weakness in the muscles of the face, arms, and legs is also possible....

If you think that winning an NFL survivor or knockout pool simply involves picking the most likely team to win, then you are exactly the type of player that true survivor pros want in their pool. You are the bait, they are the sharks – and you don’t stand a chance against them in the long run. In this post, we’re going to quickly review the foundations of winning survivor pool strategy....

Per usual, the best place to spend down in cash games is at tight end. The position is just so hard to predict, so instead of going for one of the “safe” top options, it makes sense to target a value play who gets regular looks. By spending down there and targeting the mid-tier RBs, we’re able to spend up at QB and add a few great WRs to give ourselves a well-balanced lineup without targeting any top-tier studs....

In a clip shared on January 23, Rianna (@nala_the_needy_rottie) explained that her five-year-old dog Nala offers kisses on demand. “OK, so my Rottweiler has somehow learned that when I puck up my lips it means I want a kiss,” she said. “This is probably saying that I kiss her too much, but it is the cutest thing.” Rianna then puckers her lips to demonstrate, with Nala planting a kiss right on her mouth and nose....

Stars including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Josh Groban and Sara Bareilles were among those who congregated on the red stairs above the TKTS booth to pay tribute to Sondheim. Miranda read from Sondheim’s Look, I Made A Hat, an anthology of lyrics, and joined the crowd as they sang “Sunday” from the musical Sunday in the Park with George, for which Sondheim wrote the music and lyrics. “This felt like church,” Bareilles told Variety after the performance....

The simulation showed how the tremendous gravitational influence of the black hole would cause forces similar to those that the moon causes to create the tides on Earth, squeezing and stretching the stars. Eventually, some of the orbiting stars are completely shredded by these tidal forces, pulled apart and stretched into a long stream of gas, in a powerful and violent occurrence called a tidal disruption event. Luckier stars are just partially disrupted, holding on to some of their mass, and eventually even returning to their normal shapes after a close brush with the black hole....
