Everyone outside the SEC rejoiced: The conference that dominated the BCS era would not have a team in the first playoff championship game. Sporting News college football writer Matt Hayes pointed out that to say the SEC is dead would be utterly laughable. More specifically, why would anyone think Alabama is going away? During Friday’s Under-Armour high school showcase game in Orlando, six players made commitments. Two of them announced — just hours after the Crimson Tide suffered their season-ending defeat — they’ll be suiting up for Nick Saban in Tuscaloosa....

“I have attended protests and rallies in the past, when I agreed with the goals, when I supported the people expressing their concerns and their issues,” our prime minister said. “Black Lives Matter is an example of that. But I have also chosen not to go anywhere near protests that have expressed hateful rhetoric, violence towards fellow citizens, and a disrespect, not just of science, but of the frontline health workers, and quite frankly, the 90 percent of truckers who have been doing the right thing to put food on our tables....

The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star recently faced criticism after it was revealed that she had served as the Queen of Love and Beauty at the Fair St. Louis—previously known as the Veiled Prophet Ball—in 1999, when she was aged 19. Critics of the Missouri debutante event, which takes place every December, were quick to point out the organization’s past policy of catering to white people only—reportedly barring Black and Jewish participants for decades....

Unless you want to pick last year’s draft, when Todd Gurley broke a two-year drought of running backs going in the first round. Or next year’s draft, when, finally, Leonard Fournette comes out (barring injury suffered while being forced to play for free again).

Musk uses Twitter to discuss various subjects and finds time to answer questions and even post memes here and there. He has even makes posts regarding video games from time to time, whether it’s about Musk’s favorite games or making a crack or two about some of them.

The almost-Twitter owner used the platform, which he now doesn’t want to own, to respond to the image of himself topless outdoors with a towel wrapped around his waist. The pictures were taken while he was on vacation in Mykonos, Greece. Musk is currently embroiled in a lawsuit with the Twitter board after he pulled out of purchasing the site. Musk has repeatedly mocked the company with memes relating to the fact that they’re trying to force him into following through on the deal and buy the platform....

At first glance, a few notable nominees stick out: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel nabbed more than 10 nominations. Saturday Night Live is close behind with nine nominations across the board, and Schitt’s Creek also managed to snag at least six nominations.

After the race, however, Earnhardt Jr. struggled mightily to maintain his composure in his post-race interview. This victory, coming just a few days after what would have been his late father’s 64th birthday, almost left Junior at a loss for words. Adding to the drama: the tens of thousands of Earnhardt Jr. fans who stood and cheered in the grandstands as Earnhardt Jr. did his victory lap. Oh, this is also the same track where his father earned his final NASCAR Cup victory, in October 2000....

When you express a powerful emotion like rage through your actions, you will probably have unfavorable effects on your relationships, work, and other aspects. When you act out, it usually has a domino effect that makes people around you more angry, which makes things more complicated. The result of holding back powerful emotions might be even more harmful. Many individuals are unaware that there’s another way to control our emotions: experiencing the feeling in real time....

The labor shortage, of course, isn’t ideal for retail businesses, or companies who sell products directly to consumers. But it can be a good thing for their employees, who are using their in-demand status to land higher wages and better benefits. And, for job hunters, the perks aren’t the only thing improving. Some retailers are relaxing job qualifications, making it easier to find a new gig. With the retail industry navigating more than 880,000 open jobs right now, these new terms of employment won’t be changing soon....

No more. The number of empty cradles across the United States is growing. In the immediate wake of the Great Recession, fertility fell. First, it fell during the lean years after the recession, as many expected. But then, to the surprise of many commentators, the birthrate continued to fall even as the economy recovered. This year, in 2020, our firm Demographic Intelligence forecasts that the total fertility rate will fall below 1....

Owner Amanda shared a video on TikTok of one of her emus, called Karen, taking a swipe at her as she cleaned out her enclosure. Amanda, from Useless Farm, filmed herself fending off jabs from the bird—which stands eye-to-eye with her when at full height—while it snaps its beak in anger. But it’s not the bird’s size or attitude which has frightened people, rather her incredible roar as she charges at Amanda....

Storage woes are a common issue in the tech world. A couple of years ago, 512 GB of internal memory was considered as overkill but now, the same amount is considered the base variant or even below-par storage option. Every gigabyte of storage is considered of utmost importance and the statement holds even more weight when talking about entry-level laptops and personal computers. Amid such storage hardships, if a particular feature or software hogs up unnecessary space then it is best to let it go....

Shafali Verma built a 167-run opening partnership with her partner Smriti Mandhana. The two Indian openers created a new record for the highest opening partnership in Indian women’s Test cricket history.
