All the goals came inside the first 35 minutes at the Gtech Community Stadium as Erik ten Hag’s dream job showed every indication of quickly descending into an unspeakable nightmare. Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the starting XI, the only change in personnel from Sunday’s listless 2-1 defeat to Brighton, but a wretched error from David de Gea saw Josh Dasilva’s 10th-minute shot squirm into the bottom right corner. Brentford were rampant from that point on, with United’s frailties brutally exposed time and again....

Cameron, a Black Republican, made the remarks during an appearance on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight. Host Tucker Carlson introduced Cameron after playing several clips of Black media pundits, which he claimed painted Cameron as a “race traitor,” although none of the clips featured that phrase. “I’m here tonight to say that enough is enough,” Cameron said. “Black Republicans, folks that believe in the truth, we’re gonna stand up. And that’s what I did in presenting all of the information to the grand jury in the Breonna Taylor investigation....

First of all, Watson has a no-trade clause in his contract, which means he dictates which team he can be traded to, should it happen. Watson has openly expressed his discontent with the management style of the Texans, and that he’s open to a legitimate trade to another team. Then there’s Favre—a Hall of Fame player, three-time MVP and one-time Super Bowl champion—who chimed in on the Watson scenario....

The court issued a brief order on Tuesday refusing to block the release of Trump’s tax records. That order did not note any dissenting votes from the nation’s highest court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority. This comes despite the fact that three of the justices were appointed during Trump’s term in office: Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. MSNBC commentator Steve Benen focused on Kavanaugh in his analysis of the court’s decision, recalling comments made in October 2018 by Newt Gingrich, a former Speaker of the House and Republican congressman....

Even the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson cannot claim to have achieved such a feat, having suffered defeat on the opening day in 1992/93 to Sheffield United. Foxes too good for Potters Shakespeare now forms part of the English top-flight elite, having enjoyed a dream start to his tenure at the King Power Stadium. After stepping up from his assistant role under Claudio Ranieri to succeed the ousted Italian in a caretaker capacity, he has since been given the post permanently through to the end of the season....

It was a sign he had returned to the level he had been performing at before being temporarily sidelined by blood clots. Vickers missed the final two-thirds of the 2010 season because of a blood clot and ensuing heart surgery. He returned with a winless 2011 season and then ran Cup part-time in 2012 and 2013 for Michael Waltrip Racing.

“He found the baby lying in a baby tub with a towel draped around her,” said Ken Jefferson of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Department. “She was watching cartoons when he walked in.” The girl’s body was smeared with ketchup and mustard, Jefferson said, and “feces and urine were everywhere.” She had apparently been drinking water from the toilet and the lower part of the fridge had been emptied. When police arrived, the girl was “clinging to her father....

As recently as Tuesday morning, passengers were reporting outages with the airline after a weekend of mass cancellations. Kimberli Romano and her now-husband Kyle were set to get married on Sunday expecting family to fly in from Chicago. “Three hours before I had to leave to go to the airport, they canceled my flight out there,” the bride’s sister, Renee told CBS Chicago....

In a viral Reddit post published on r/AmITheA**hole, Redditor u/AITA9906 (otherwise referred to as the original poster, or OP) said she is the spitting image of her late mother and explained how that familial resemblance drew the ire of her soon-to-be stepmother.

NEWSWEEK: What’s the biggest challenge of getting technology to kids in the developing world? ZUCKERMAN: When you have a computer in a school, it’s so special that there often is fear about who gets to use it. We’ve seen computers donated to schools and then locked up because they’re too valuable. What kind of impact will these technologies have on the kids? You’re going to have a generation of kids who are a lot more global–not in the sense of drinking Coca-Cola and wanting Michael Jordan footwear, but in that they have connections to people outside their own countries....

This is no accident. The transition from Blair to Brown has begun in earnest. Blair’s speeches–with wistful allusions to his nine years in office and to his “personal journey” in politics and government–have a valedictory air about them. Brown’s sound like those of a man with one foot already inside the door of 10 Downing Street, unfurling national-security agendas and schemes to improve Britons’ work-life balance (appropriately, as he and his wife are expecting a child)....

Adam Ulam once joked that he had a very heavy hand: he began his career by studying the British empire, which collapsed, and moved on to the Soviet Union, which also crumbled. The renowned Sovietologist and longtime director of Harvard’s Davis Center for Russian Studies died last week at 77. Admired Parisian photographer Gisele Freund, who died last week at 91, will be remembered for shots of her era’s literary icons, from Virginia Woolf to James Joyce....
