Evan Gershkovich from The Wall Street Journal was detained in Ekaterinburg, Russia said Thursday. Russia's detention of an American journalist is sparking sharp condemnation from the Biden administration and Capitol Hill. Evan Gershkovich from The Wall Street Journal was detained in Ekaterinburg, Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said Thursday. The intelligence agency has accused Gershkovich of spying and collecting "state secrets." The Kremlin took a sharper tone, saying Gershkovich was caught "red-handed." Gershkovich has pleaded not guilty. The American faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. His case is marked "top secret."

Philippine ferry fire leaves 12 dead, at least 7 missing

A ferry carrying about 250 passengers and crew caught fire between Philippine islands and at least 12 people were killed with seven still missing MANILA, Philippines -- A ferry carrying about 250 passengers and crew caught fire between Philippine islands and at least 12 people were killed with seven still missing , a provincial governor said Thursday. Many of those rescued had jumped off the ferry in panic at the height of the fire and were plucked from the sea by the coast guard, navy, another ferry and local fishermen, said Gov. Jim Hataman of the southern island province of Basilan. The search and rescue effort was continuing Thursday. The governor said most of those onboard the MV Lady Mary Joy 3 were rescued overnight but authorities were double-checking the numbers from different rescue teams, suggesting the figures could change. The ferry was enroute to Jolo town in Sulu province from the southern port city of Zamboanga when it caught fire midway off Basilan close to midnigh

Official Mario Bath Bomb Makes It Look Like You Peed In The Tub

Super Mario just got a Lush collaboration! Don't those question mark block bath bombs look fun? Oh, you want to see them in action? Uhhh. Hey, have you seen this Luigi shower gel? Yes, in case you were wondering, there's a good reason you haven't seen many pictures of the Mario bath bomb actually being used as a bath bomb. As early purchasers have quickly realised, the new product turns your bath into a pool of piss. Mamma mia. Related: Are Video Game Adaptations The New Superhero Movies? Thankfully, fans who have picked up the Lush goodies aren't holding back and hiding the goods from us. Now, we can see the question mark block product in all its glory, and it definitely makes it look like you had a little accident in the tub. It's a shame really because the block itself looks great.

Elden Ring Fans Are Wondering What's Up With The Sun

There are entire swords and spells devoted to the moon, items that reference the stars, but Elden Ring talks very little about the most important celestial body in the sky: the sun. That's quite the departure from the Dark Souls developer, where Solaire is a favorite character among fans and an even larger departure from real-life mythologies where the sun is often associated with the most powerful deities. So what gives? Why doesn't Elden Ring care more about the sun? That's the question asked by a Redditor over on the Elden Ring subreddit, which has touched off a lively debate on why the sun has so little lore. Related: FromSoftware Is Not For Everyone Of course, that debate would start with references to Solaire, but after that, Elden_Gourde provides an excellent discussion on how the Erdtree largely replaced the sun as the object of veneration, even going so far as outshining the sun in the light it produces. Isn't it strange how prominen

Hawks' Trae Young ejected for throwing ball at official, is now one technical foul away from suspension

Trae Young was ejected during Saturday's game between the Atlanta Hawks and the Indiana Pacers due to an incident that took place in the third quarter. With the game tied at 84 apiece, Young grew frustrated with the way the game was being called. He bounced the ball in frustration before chucking it at the official, drawing an immediate technical foul and ejection for the outburst. Trae Young has been ejected from the Hawks-Pacers Game for throwing the ball toward the referee with force after being called for an offensive foul on a previous play. It is Young's 15th tech of the season.pic.twitter.com/bbjLCBOSA5 — ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsApp) March 25, 2023 The ejection itself was notable, but perhaps more so was the technical foul call. That was Young's 15th of the season. When a player reaches 16 technical fouls, he earns an automatic one- Game suspension . For e

Women Football Stars Can't Believe How Terrible FIFA 23 Made Them Look

More people have been embracing the women's Game in various sporting leagues around the world. It's great to see Sports teams establish a women's team and publicize them as much as the men's teams. However, in reality, it's a long road till the two are on equal footing. EA Sports and FIFA have been doing their part in representing women's Football as well, and FIFA 23 followed suit with an update on March 22. The FIFA 23 update introduced the UEFA Women’s Champions League and National Women’s Soccer League along with 12 of the teams from the U.S. league. However, it appears that the pro Football ers aren't too happy with their avatars in the Game . Many of these players couldn't help but make fun of how the Game made them look (thanks, Kotaku).

Taylor Swift, Pop’s Maestro of Memory, Returns to the Stage

Image
  GLENDALE, Ariz. — The most meaningful Taylor Swift recording of the past few years is almost certainly “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault),” as layered and provocative as its тιтle is unwieldy. A revision and expansion of one of her most gutting songs — the original appears on her 2012 breakthrough pop album, “Red” — it dissects a problematic, lopsided and ultimately scarring relationship with forensic detail. It’s a scathing commentary on the ex who inspired the track, and it also has something to say about the version of Swift who first committed this story to song over a decade ago: Swift now understands things that Swift then couldn’t possibly have known. Around halfway through Swift’s three-hour performance at State Farm Stadium here on Friday — the opening night of the Eras Tour, her first roadshow in five years — she was at the center of the long runway stage, elevated on a platform, holding 70,000 people rapt with this tale of righ

It was impossible to stop praising the stranger who rescued the stranded baby orca after it made a distress call (Video)

Orca whales, also known as killer whales, are some of the most fascinating creatures in the ocean. They are highly intelligent and social Animals that live in family groups called pods. However, their reputation as apex predators has often overshadowed their other traits. In this article, we will discuss the recent heartwarming story of a group of people helping an orca whale in need. In August 2021, a group of people in Nootka Sound, British Columbia, noticed an orca whale stranded on the shore. The whale was a young male who had become stuck on the rocks during low tide. He was flapping around helplessly, trying to free himself. The group immediately sprang into action to help the stranded whale. First, they covered the whale with wet towels to keep him moist and prevent his skin from drying out. They also dug trenches around the whale to keep him from getting beached further. As they waited for the tide to come back in, they splashed water on the whale to keep him

Who is Carson Daly, the TV presenter Shakira is dating after her break-up with Pique?

Image
Much has been said in recent months about Shakira and Gerard Pique’s break- up and, as with any break- up, there is always one of the two parties involved who takes the least time to get their lives back on track. That was the case of former Barcelona player and captain Pique, who started dating  Clara Chia in the summer of last year, although some say they were together long before that… Be that as it may, it seemed that Shakira was not interested in rebuilding her love life, as she was more focused on releasing songs with hints to her ex or taking care of her children. However, it seems that this could be changing, as after the Colombian singer’s latest musical successes, namely her session with Bizarrap and her collaboration with Karol G, she seems to be taking a new sH๏τ at dating. What’s more, she’s doing it with an old friend of many years, TV presenter  Carson Daly. In fact, the two have already been spotted strolling the streets of New York and even going to a hoc

Warriors convert Anthony Lamb from two-way to standard contract, making him eligible for playoffs, per report

The Golden State Warriors have converted the two-way contract of forward Anthony Lamb to a standard contract , according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. That distinction might seem trivial, but it is actually hugely significant. Two-way players are limited to just 50 regular-season appearances and are ineligible to play in the postseason. Lamb has now appeared in 50 Game s for Golden State, meaning his season as a Warrior would have been over had he not been converted. Now, he will remain with the Warriors into the playoffs . Lamb has become an integral role player for a Warriors team that has faced injuries and adversity this season. He is averaging seven points in 20.1 minutes per game as a versatile forward, and with Andrew Wiggins out dealing with a personal issue, Lamb's presence is more important now than ever.  Another Golden State forward, Andre Iguodala, is now set to miss time following wrist

Square Enix Flop Forspoken May Have Cost Over $100 Million To Make

Square Enix's triple-A title Forspoken could have cost more than $100,000,000 to develop, it's been revealed. The Game previously known as Project Athia was first glimpsed a couple years ago, and while it always looked like a big-budget project the recent disclosure of its development cost is eye-watering considering the Game has not set sales charts alight. The figure comes from the lead writer on Forspoken, one Allison Rymer. Rymer has worked for talent agency CAA in Los Angeles, before becoming a producer selling TV shows, and also developing her own screenwriting career, before the American was tapped to be the lead writer on an "AAA video Game for one of the biggest video Game companies in the world, Square Enix/Luminous". The information is all there on the writer's LinkedIn profile, on which she writes in the third-person: "She spearheaded the story behind Forspoken, which costs over hundred million dollars to make".
