On Friday, he was faster than any NASCAR driver in 27 years, winning the pole for Sunday's Sprint Cup race with a staggering speed of 204.557 mph.

Last season, Love averaged 16.4 points, 9.7 rebounds and 12.7 field goal attempts per game, dramatic drops from his final season in Minnesota (26.1, 12.5 and 18.5). Instead of being the primary option, he often played off the ball in the Cavaliers’ offense, often spotting up on the perimeter. And as we enter the 2015-16 season, there’s little reason to believe his role will change dramatically. And that’s OK....

I think he’s a dictator. I think he’s murdering people right now.” The comments signal a rare break from the former president, as the two have remained allies after Trump’s time in office ended....

During a TV appearance on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, host Maria Bartiromo asked McCarthy to weigh in on the way Google operates. She suggested that the tech giant is conspiring with President Joe Biden’s administration as the Department of Justice asked Google “to send them the people who search for certain phrases.” “We know how Google tries to control our thoughts and what we can read on the basis that 90 percent of any search inside the internet goes through Google,” McCarthy responded....

The humans failed her, badly. The 785-square-mile Wolong wildlife reserve in China’s Sichuan province, where HanHan lived, is hardly guarded; Wolong police say they don’t have the time and Beijing doesn’t force the issue. So on the fogbound, snowy morning of Jan. 24,1983, Han-Han strangled to death in a poacher’s snare. The hunter-peasant carried the carcass and skin back to his hut. His wife cooked some of the meat with turnips, the peasant later said....

Buckingham Palace has announced that the king’s coronation will take place on May 6, 2023, at Westminster Abbey in London following the death of Charles’ mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Britain is the last European nation with a monarchy that still practices a traditional coronation ceremony with others adopting a simpler accession ceremony or enthronement. Charles’ coronation will follow much of the same form that has been used for every monarch since the later Anglo-Saxon kings, though, according to Buckingham Palace, it will “reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future, while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry....

Speaking with IGN, Kingdom Hearts director Tetsuya Nomura described Pixar as being more interested in the “technical, creative side of things” compared to Disney’s “overall production” approach. Nomura even described Square Enix as more akin to Pixar in this regard. The result, however, was that Square Enix and Pixar had to work out certain issues before even starting to move forward on Kingdom Hearts 3.

Something new, however, is the build command. It may sound like something out of Fortnite at first, but it seems likely that it’ll play a major part of the Kingdom Hearts 4’s story and gameplay.
