The statue was created in 2011 as a tribute to Michael Jackson. The statue, which was commissioned after Michael’s death in 2009, was originally planned to be located outside Harrods, an upmarket department store here, but when al Fayed sold the Knightsbridge store in 2010, the statue was put up at the football ground.

The Senate Bill 475, entitled the “Juneteenth National Independence Day Act,” was passed by a 415-14 vote on Wednesday, clearing the way for President Joe Biden to sign it into law. The holiday will mark the date of June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, were informed that they were free following the end of the Civil War more than two months prior. “As I have said many times, Juneteenth is as significant to African Americans as July 4 is to all Americans,” Texas Democratic Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, who sponsored the House version of the bill, said in a statement after the vote was passed....

Rockne created a whole system of football. His players were trained so well that many of them went on to become coaches at prep schools across the country. Once they had those jobs, they’d send their best players to Notre Dame. This was before other colleges had started recruiting nationally; back then most of the players at Harvard or Yale would be from New England, but we’d have kids from all over....

Jordan, from Tuscan, Arizona, has been sharing videos online under what she’s dubbed “mortuary TkTok.” She revealed what it’s like to work in a funeral parlour, including the forms to be filled in, the equipment used for embalming, where clothes are stored and what make-up is used.

The show has won Annie Awards and Primetime Emmy Awards for its incredible visual storytelling that uses no dialogue. Interestingly enough, some of the best video games out there have used the same formula as Primal, such as Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and Journey. Primal’s current popularity and the history of games with similar storytelling elements is a sign that more games may want to hop onto the wagon of quiet stories with strong visuals....

Gamers have a lot of content at their fingertips, especially those who participate in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. While that content is fun for players to experience, it can be difficult to manage. The new Xbox change aims to let players know which titles are available and which ones are, for multiple reasons, unplayable.

Known internally as “Intelligent Delivery”, this is Microsoft’s new system of mastering Xbox One and Xbox One X games in a way that splits game content into tagged “chunks.” This, in turn, allows gamers to download only the game “chunks” that they need or want to play, rather than downloading the entire game package, and thus saving hard drive space. Not only does this mean that file sizes will be considerably smaller than the 100GB-plus game file sizes expected for most titles these days, but also the download time will be shortened as a result....

Apparently, the WWE higher-ups want the announcing to only get the Superstars over rather than the announcer himself. In case you didn’t know… The WWE often resorts to a stringent approach when it comes to its presentation, and ring announcing is no different. The announcers are usually given strict directives pertaining to their job, including a step-by-step guide of how to appropriately introduce the in-ring talent.

His agent didn’t know anything about a Brazil call up that September afternoon. And his agent was right there next to him in the car. His agent was also 93-time Selecao international Gilberto Silva. The height of Fred’s international achievements to that point had been getting booed by a Sao Paulo crowd who mistook him for the hapless striker and villain of World Cup 2014, and his club refusing to release him for a historic Olympic Games in his homeland....

Since SBF’s turmoil was publicized, headlines have abounded comparing the FTX scandal to Bernie Madoff’s infamous Ponzi scheme. But SBF’s scam was different in an important way: Bankman-Fried’s public image in the media as a genius and philanthropist was bolstered and given credibility by his proximity to the powerful Democratic elite, to whom he donated millions and millions of dollars. Bankman-Fried was one of the Democrats’ biggest donors, second only to George Soros....
