This is wild. DraftKings must pay a Massachusetts bettor $923k after the Gaming Commission unanimously denied a request to void a series of connected bets.
The result of a single mistake made by a trader.
knew she was the real deal as a kid when she had a foreword in one of The Far Side volumes where she talked about being so tickled by this strip that she struck a lifelong friendship with Gary Larson and his shared love for the natural world. RIP
She was born in England in the '30s.
Her father left the family, and her mother raised her and her sister.
Her mother couldn't afford to send her to college, and besides, in that time, only 1-in-10 English women went on to be college students.
So, she worked a series of secretarial jobs and saved up enough money to eventually travel to Africa hoping to work with animals. That's where she got a gig as an assistant for Dr. Louis Leakey, who recognized her aptitude in noticing things the scientists of those days did not.
At 26, with no formal scientific education and limited training, she did her first field research and discovered that chimpanzees use tools, completely upending her field and the broader scientific community overnight.
Such a long, extraordinary life, and it all started with a young woman who didn't accept the lot she had been given.
Rest in peace, Dr. Jane Goodall. Thanks for everything.
Whether we were in our basements with our brothers, in the woods with our buddies, in the car, at a keg party, on a boat, at football practice, at a sleepover….Nobody was more badass to crank up on our speakers than the one and only prince of darkness - Ozzy Osborne! Loved him a lot like we all did! Sending love to the family and so happy to have spent time with the legend himself. RIP
ICE officers stopped by our farm yesterday.
“We need to inspect your property for illegal aliens,” one of them said.
I replied, “Alright, but whatever you do, don’t go into that field over there.”
The officer in charge exploded.
“Mister, I have the authority of the federal government behind me!” he barked, reaching into his back pocket. He yanked out a badge and shoved it in my face.
“See this fucking badge? This badge means I can go wherever I want on ANY land. No questions asked, no answers given. Am I clear? Do you understand?”
I nodded politely and said, “Be my guest.”
Then I went back to my chores.
About ten minutes later, I heard screaming. I looked up and saw six ICE agents running for their lives, being chased by my big, mean, old bull. And with every step, that bull was closing in. Fast.
It looked like they were about to get gored for sure.
So I dropped my tools, ran over to the fence, and shouted at the top of my lungs:
“YOUR BADGE! SHOW HIM YOUR FUCKING BADGE!”
After getting the clock called on him more than 10 times since the Day 2 began, the tournament director has informed Martin Kabrhel that his clock has been reduced to 10 seconds. #WSOP2025
@TennisWinnersO1 Glad to hear you are recovering quickly and smoothly and ready to kick some more ass! Will be tailing the return card, let’s fucking get it!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🫡
Val Kilmer is part of one of the greatest heist sequences in film history . Everything about Kilmer in this moment in Heat feels so real. Val Kilmer was just that dude: a vintage Hollywood bad-ass.
Duke survives Arizona comeback. So this $5 futures parlay at @HardRockBet survives, too, with $168K on the line.
I wonder what the cashout option is up to. It was $49K before last night’s win.
