You cannot deny that Friends is perhaps the most iconic TV show of all time. The NBC sitcom ran for ten seasons between 1994 and 2004, and over its decade-long run, it had many of us rapt. The evolving storyline featuring the titular group of friends seemed to grow with its audience, and by the time the credits rolled on the final episode on May 6th 2004, fans of the show were left wondering just where the past ten years had gone, looking back on the 236 episodes they had watched and rewatched in what was a total odyssey of...

TMZ has released video where Chappelle can be heard talking about the attacker’s injuries and appears to be happy about the outcome. “I felt good my friends broke his arm,” Chappelle is heard saying in the video. Those words could cost Chappelle if a civil suit is filed. “It is very possible that Dave Chappelle’s own words, where he says that he roughed the guy up, can be used against him in a potential civil manner down the line,” Triessl said. The Hollywood Bowl may not be off the hook either. Despite confiscating patrons’ cell phones ahead of the show,...

A beautiful emission nebula and star cluster it sails far southern skies within the nautical constellation Carina.

At retail locations across the United States, about 40 percent of the top-selling infant formula products were not in stock for the week ending April 24, said Datasembly.

We see this category...

If you get bored this weekend, you can watch UK election results roll in. Only highlights I know of: Conservative party not doing well in England, probably due to poor optics of having parties during lockdowns. Sinn Fein may take majority in NI over Brexit. This may eventually put Irish unity on the table. https://election.news.sky.com/

If it weren't for an argument over lumpy mashed potatoes, Jimi Hendrix may never have crafted one of his most famous songs. Kathy Mary Etchingham was an apprentice hairdresser living in London when she met Hendrix in 1966. The two were introduced by Etchingham’s best friend who was dating Eric Burdon, lead singer of the Animals, and the attraction was immediate. The couple lived together for three years: the longest relationship in Hendrix’s short life. But it was a turbulent romance, marked by constant fighting. And one quarrel in particular would lead to one of the most mysterious rock songs...

Two Republican-led states have filed a lawsuit against President Joe Biden, White House press secretary Jen Psaki, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and other top administration officials for allegedly pressuring and colluding with social media giants with the aim of censoring and suppressing free speech.

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York court halted the use of a DNA crimefighting tool that has helped crack cold cases and put murderers behind bars, but has also raised privacy and racial discrimination concerns, because state lawmakers never approved the practice. Known as familial DNA searching, the technique allows law enforcement agencies to search the state’s DNA databank for close biological relatives of people who have left traces of genetic material at a crime scene. A panel of judges on a mid-level appeals court ruled Thursday that regulations for the technique were invalid because a state committee implemented...

UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) - Russian envoy to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzia said during a UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine that a world war is currently taking place at an economic level in light of the measures taken against Russia in response to its special military operation in Ukraine. Judging by the speed with which the economic war against Russia was unleashed, the West has been preparing for it for a long time, Nebenzia said on Thursday. “This is not a war in Ukraine, contrary to what you say, this is a proxy war of the collective West against...

Here are two questions that Senate and House Democratic campaign committees should demand — through well-financed national and state ad campaigns, on broadcast network, cable news channels and social media — that Republicans answer, yes or no: 1. Will you repudiate publicly Donald Trump’s praise of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine? 2. Do you agree with the Supreme Court’s decision allowing states to make it a crime for a woman to have an abortion if they become pregnant as a result of rape or incest? Just “yes” or “no” to both.

Agents with the U.S. Marshal Service have located the vehicle believed to have been used by escaped Alabama prisoner Casey White and fugitive corrections officer Vicky White, roughly one week after the pair fled from a county jail. Investigators received a tip around 11 p.m. Thursday about a vehicle matching the description of the 2007 Ford Edge, and have since been able to confirm the SUV is the same one used by Vicky White and Casey Cole White after their April 29 disappearance, the USMS announced Friday. With the help of the tip, they were able to track the vehicle...

Michael Knowles, a conservative commentator and practicing Catholic, has been barred from speaking at the University of St. Thomas (UST) in St. Paul, Minn., for his views on transgender ideology. In March the UST College Republicans had sought to invite Knowles for a speaking engagement on campus, but the group says university administrators explicitly prevented them from hosting the event. “The justification for this decision comes from the University’s ‘Event Approval Policy’ that says the University can prohibit any speaker from coming to campus that they determine to violate the St. Thomas Conviction Statements,” according to a Wednesday press release...
