10+ min ago (490+ words) This might be more than a tail of fire and ice? Comet 3I/ATLAS has displayed a variety of atypical traits, from its bizarre trajectory through our solar system to a complex jet structure. Now, Harvard Scientist Avi Loeb claims he's discovered another non-cometary anomaly: a sun-facing "anti-tail" comprised of a swarm of objects. In a new Medium blog post, the astrophysicist wrote that November images of ATLAS shot after perihelion showed a teardrop shape in its coma " the halo of gas and dust that forms around the solid nucleus when the comet approaches the solar star " that was pointed toward the sun. Loeb postulated that if 3I/ATLAS is accompanied by a swarm of objects that don't share the dirty snowball's non-gravitational acceleration, they would seem closer to the sun compared to the comet. That's because "3I/ATLAS is pushed away from…...

New York Giants rookie pass rusher Abdul Carter and head coach Mike Kafka were deceptive when asked why the former Penn State standout was benched to start their game Monday against the New England Patriots.

11+ min ago (695+ words) According to the VA, more than 35,000 veterans are homeless, and health care is not always their top priority.

McLaren was the team to beat around Lusail all weekend, with Oscar Piastri topping the sole practice session, sprint qualifying and sprint race before claiming a crucial pole position for Sunday's main race from title rivals Lando Norris and Max Verstappen.

13+ min ago (214+ words) According to the U.K. Daily Mail, Kohberger is now apparently a "nightmare prison diva," and part of his unruly behavior has to do with his thoughts on the bananas offered in prison. "He's complaining about the type of bananas he's being served," McDonough told the British outlet. He added: "They're not the kind that he likes. I'm not sure if that means they may have bruises on them and he doesn't like that or if there is a particular type of banana that he likes. But he's complaining about the food he's getting." Through its sordid history, the Idaho Maximum Security Institution has been known for violence, dangerous HVAC units, and feces-smeared cages. In other words, it's not the sort of place you're likely to find a perfectly ripe banana. "The prison is saying well, deal with it," Having spent five…...

The "Black Widow" actress, 41, revealed that she acted "weird" on her first date with her now-husband, who thought their relationship wouldn't pan out. "Nobody had ever asked me out before," Johansson said while guest co-hosting Monday's episode of "Today with Jenna & Friends." "I was a serial monogamist and I never got the sort of traditional like, "Hey would you like to have dinner sometime?" Johansson, who was a two-time divorcee at the time, gave Jost a chance in 2017, over ten years after they first met on the set of "Saturday Night Live." "He actually asked me out on a date," she recalled. "We went to an Italian restaurant in the East Village. It was a lovely date. We had dinner. Afterward, he was like, "I'm meeting friends, let's go…...

16+ min ago (742+ words) The massive Somali-orchestrated welfare fraud in Minnesota grew so big, even The New York Times had to cover it. The takeaways are delicious: an indictment of sloppy Democrat-run Big Government, a repudiation of immigration policies that favor groups that decline to assimilate and that in some cases embrace anti-U.S. sentiment and exposing Governor Tim Walz for the lightweight he is. No wonder the liberal media has been mostly mute about the multiyear scandal that the Times describes as "staggering in its scale and brazenness," and that resulted in the loss of more than$1 billion of taxpayer funds. That's as much, the Times notes, as Minnesota spends annually on its Department of Corrections. In addition, President Trump announced he would be terminating the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somalis in Minnesota. There are some 76,000 people of Somali ancestry in the state,…...
