Standout track appears on Pusha T and Malice’s long-awaited new LP Let God Sort Em Out Clipse surprised fans in Los Angeles at the Novo on Saturday when they brought out Kendrick Lamar. The trio performed “Chains & Whips” from Clipse’s long-awaited album, Let God Sort Em Out, which arrived last month. As fan-filmed clips reveal, Pusha T and Malice were in the midst of performing the song, and then the stage went dark briefly before a spotlight unveiled Lamar onstage. Then, Lamar delivered his scene-stealing verse. As he rapped the opening lines, “I’m not the candidate to vibe with/I…

It was not Patrick Cantlay, Russell Henley, Scottie Scheffler or any other golfer that Tommy Fleetwood had to battle with at the Tour Championship. Instead, the Englishman had to see off the burden of recent history. Fleetwood prevailed, taking his maiden PGA Tour title on his 164th start. Sometimes the good guys win. East Lake delivered one of the most heartwarming tales of the sporting year, a victory for persistence and proof that a relatable golfer can be a triumphant one.Fleetwood displayed magnificent mental strength to brush aside scar tissue caused by falling short, agonisingly so, twice since late June.…

Bragg says Labor underwriting ‘extremely wealthy’ with first home buyer schemeThe Coalition isn’t a fan of the government’s 5% deposit scheme, and Andrew Bragg, the opposition housing spokesperson, says it’s going to turn the government into a major property developer.Speaking to RN Breakfast, Bragg says the scheme shouldn’t be a free-for-all: This is an uncapped scheme which is available to billionaires or the children of billionaires if they want to use a government program. I think we’re getting to a point where Australia is becoming a ridiculous nation where the taxpayer is underwriting mortgage insurance schemes for extremely wealthy people.…

STARBASE, Texas—A beehive of aerospace technicians, construction workers, and spaceflight fans descended on South Texas this weekend in advance of the next test flight of SpaceX’s gigantic Starship rocket, the largest vehicle of its kind ever built. Towering 404 feet (123.1 meters) tall, the rocket will lift off during a one-hour launch window beginning at 6:30 pm CDT (7:30 pm EDT; 23:30 UTC) Sunday. The main concern for Sunday’s launch attempt will be weather conditions at Starbase, located a few miles north of the US-Mexico border. There’s just a 45 percent chance of favorable weather for liftoff Sunday, according to…

Thank you for Arwa Mahdawi’s article (Would an ‘Unsexiest Women Alive’ list be published today? Maybe not – but body-shaming is definitely back, 19 August). I keep hearing about the 1990s being a toxic period for women. But when exactly did that stop? When was this idyllic period in which body acceptance took place? Because I must have missed it. I would have welcomed a break from obsessing about my body, calorie counting, and from the feeling of being a total failure whenever I stopped running.I was born in 1984, developed early, and was taught that the additional space I…

Weapons scored the top spot at the domestic box office this weekend, becoming the first horror movie of 2025 to do so three weeks in a row.Industry watchers are reporting that Netflix’s animated musical KPop Demon Hunters may have surpassed Weapons’ $15.6 million take, however, with its own $18-20 million premiere, but the streamer doesn’t release its numbers.Freakier Friday continues to silver medal, while next week, films starring Aubrey Plaza, Olivia Colman, and Peter Dinklage vie for the crown. Zack Cregger’s gonzo horror flick Weapons just broke a 2025 box office record — or did it? The missing-child mystery’s $15.6…

Sabalenka is aiming to become the first woman since Serena Williams in 2014 to successfully defend the singles title in New York.She has reached at least the last four in each of the three Grand Slams so far this season, losing the finals of both the French and Australian Open. But the three-time Grand Slam singles champion arrived at Flushing Meadows on the back of an unconvincing Cincinnati Open display, where she scraped past Emma Raducanu before losing to Elena Rybakina. In an uneasy start, Sabalenka was broken in the fifth game of the first set by Masarova, before responding…

In Taiwan, some 7-11s are fully themed around pop culture icons like Snoopy, Hello Kitty, and Mickey Mouse.These convenience stores go beyond snacks and drinks—they also do things like train and subway ticketing, as well as postal services.The cute trend is now spreading to other places, including Texas and Thailand. I was walking in Taipei’s Zhongzheng District with my parents a couple of years ago when we all started squealing—the section of the covered sidewalk we were passing through had immersed us in a Peanuts wonderland. Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, Sally, Linus, Schroeder, Franklin, and Lucy were lined up along…

Quentin SommervilleBBC News, reporting from Donetsk, UkraineWatch: BBC takes part in Dobropillya evacuation as bombs fallThe Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine has long been in Moscow’s sights. Vladimir Putin reportedly wants to freeze the war in return for full control of it.Russia already controls 70% of Donetsk and nearly all of neighbouring Luhansk and is making slow but steady advances.I’m heading to the front-line Donetsk town of Dobropillia with two humanitarian volunteers, just 8km (five miles) from Russia’s positions. They’re on a mission to bring the sick, elderly and children to safer ground.At first, it goes like clockwork. We speed…

I’m not a creature of Silicon Valley. I didn’t study computer science. I’ve never written a line of code. I haven’t spent my career immersed in the processes, debates and science of technological progress. I came to Meta, Facebook as it then was, in 2018 as an emigre from the world of British and European politics. I wasn’t really sure what to expect.As an Englishman, I never cease to be amazed by the sheer scale of America. It’s striking, when you first set foot in this part of Northern California, how remote it feels from the power centres of the…
