With protesters marching all around the world, artists have been sharing their touching renditions of Floyd on and offline. Looking through Twitter, Instagram or Reddit, chances are that users will stumble upon at least one beautiful portrait of Floyd from a passionate artist, whether it was made by an artist at their home, or created while in the midst of a protest. The officer who killed Floyd, Derek Chauvin, has been arrested and charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter....

Yandell, who is serving a life sentence for a double homicide and faces a potential death penalty case, filed the suit from the Sacramento Main Jail on March 15. He alleges that he’s been transferred to unsanitary jail cells multiple times, subjected to “extreme isolation” and denied his constitutional right to religious freedom. That First Amendment right, he alleged in a handwritten court filing, was violated when his requests for a vegetarian diet were “ignored....

“Me and Uma have talked about it recently, frankly, to tell you the truth,” Tarantino told Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. “I have thought about it a little further. We were talking about it literally last week. If any of my movies were going to spring from my other movies, it would be a third Kill Bill.” That’s great news for fans, considering it was widely believed Tarantino and Thurman would never work together again after the actress described a horrific incident on the set of Kill Bill in a New York Times profile in 2018....

But before that, Brown recalled Howard Cosell pressing Chamberlain on the subject of fighting Ali in an interview, asking Chamberlain how he could possibly think he had a chance against the champ. “He puts his hand up,” Brown remembered, “and he says, ‘Howard, there’s only one guy that I would never fight,’ and he says, ‘that happens to be The Destroyer, Al Attles.’” GAME 2: Third-quarter run dooms Cavs as Warriors take commanding lead...

We’re past debates over whether this should happen. Our leaders made that decision months ago, by dismissing coronavirus as a “hoax,” failing to get surveillance testing up and running, and refusing to mobilize America’s industrial might to make ventilators and other desperately needed equipment. There’ll be time for accountability for the denial, falsehoods and dithering. For now, the virus has seized the moment. Agonizing decisions are upon us. Expect them to come in waves, as the coronavirus surge sweeps the nation, overtopping intensive-care capacity in many places—New York City now, perhaps Detroit and New Orleans in the days ahead, and countless towns with smaller populations but much less life-preserving capability....

Pelosi has been in conversations with the White House for three months in an effort to bring forth a bipartisan coronavirus relief package. However, as cases surge past 12 million and legislators implement additional restrictions on gatherings and businesses, the two sides have yet to reach an agreement. On Monday, more than 120 economists penned an open letter calling for recurring direct payments. They wrote that stimulus checks are an “essential tool” in keeping the number of people in poverty from increasing, as well as being a booster for consumer spending....

On the other side of the world, the European Union finds itself in a similar situation as several thousand migrants, most of them from Iraq, remain camped out in the woods of Belarus, awaiting entry into Poland and the EU at large. The West has accused Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, with the support of Russian President Vladimir Putin, of bringing these individuals in and encouraging them to immigrate to the EU for the purpose of causing internal dissent, and this alleged plan appears to be working....

Both teams came after a comfortable win over Iceland. In their match, Belgium beat Switzerland by 2-1. The hosts proved their quality was too much for the visitors although the Swiss made the Belgians work hard for the victory. Manchester United striker, Romelu Lukaku scored a brace in the second half. The winner in the 85th minute was an illustration as to why Belgium are joint top in FIFA World Rankings....

The Panthers, in their new proposal for Broward County, altered language that would "make it more difficult for the public to receive a share of the profits at the publicly owned BB&T Center," according to an examination of the proposal by the Sun Sentinel. A majority of Broward County commissioners support negotiating a new deal with the Panthers, who say they are hemorrhaging money and need a hotel-tax subsidy package worth $80 million or more over the coming 14 years....

Shortly after that, the Nets approached the Celtics about making a deal for small forward Paul Pierce, a lifelong Celtics star who seemed destined to finish out his career in Boston. This was sacrilege among Celtics fans, of course, but team president Danny Ainge had long been itching to remake his over-aged roster.

Whilst this was used to express a different situation, you can’t help but find this also currently relates to the managerial career of Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger. Having been at the club since 1996, the Frenchman has seen his various squads claim numerous titles, accolades and triumphs along the way. His “Invincibles” side is still the only Premier League team to go a whole season unbeaten, an achievement that even Pep Guardiola and his formidable Manchester City have not managed to match this term....

The 21-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Camp Nou club, particularly after he was spotted posing in a Barca shirt last week. That kicked off speculation that a deal had already been completed between the teams, yet the 21-year-old midfielder, who was named as the outstanding player in the Copa Libertadores final, has denied that is the case. “On the Barcelona issue, they really talked to me....

Marvel Studios is known for doing their best at bringing characters’ costumes from the comics while also keeping in mind to make it practical. Captain America and Scarlet Witch are two great examples of this, as Captain America wears a helmet instead of a spandex-looking mask and Scarlet Witch has a battle-ready trench coat instead of a two-piece bikini suit like in the comics. They try to keep in mind the color scheme while also pointing out that the characters need to wear something they can fight in, and this fan artist kept that in mind with their recent Hawkeye fan art....

Where movies like The Avengers zig by bringing together famous heroes like Captain America and Thor, The Suicide Squad zagged with its inclusion of classic names like… Ratcatcher 2 and… Polka-Dot Man. On the surface, it sounded absolutely bizarre and positively doomed to fail. Then the movie came out and it was incredible. People fell in love with a rat and cheered for a bipedal shark who eats people. The world is a strange and horrifying place, so people have to find their comfort wherever they can, and that’s ok....

A New York Times piece outlined how the spat began, with Trump calling politicians who refuse to reveal their vaccination status “gutless,” seen as a shot at DeSantis, who has not said whether he received the booster. DeSantis followed by appearing on a conservative podcast where he said he would have been much more vocal in opposing Trump’s handling of the pandemic, but in March 2020 he didn’t know the virus “would lead to locking down the country....

As the Turkish offensive began this week, the International Rescue Committee had warned that the lives of as many as two million civilians, many of whom had already survived trauma at the hands of the Islamic State militant group (ISIS), as well as multiple displacements, could be at risk. In a statement issued on Wednesday, the IRC warned that Turkey’s military offensive could see as many as 300,000 people displaced, while also cutting off access to life-saving humanitarian services....
