Goldberg announced on the Monday morning edition of ABC’s The View that she would be departing the tumultuous social media platform by the end of the day. The award-winning actor expressed frustration over the “messy” situation on the app in the wake of billionaire Elon Musk taking over the company last month and worries over certain people being allowed back onto the platform. “I’m getting off today because I just feel like it’s so messy, and I’m tired of now having certain kinds of attitudes blocked now getting back on,” Goldberg said....

Normally, massive die-off events can be tracked through the fossil record—animals exist, then they do not. However, in times before complex life existed, understanding these events becomes more difficult—the microorganisms that made up the planet’s biota cannot be traced in the same way. In a study published in PNAS, an international team of scientists examined rocks from Hudson Bay, Canada, that would have formed billions of years ago. They were looking at barite, a mineral that holds information about how much oxygen was in the atmosphere at a given time....

Both sides are talking like winners. Microsoft gets to spin an embarrassing payoff for misconduct into a sweeping technology alliance with the world’s biggest Internet provider. (The $750 million recompense didn’t even make the first page of the joint press release.) AOL, burdened by a crushing $25.5 billion debt, pockets a nice chunk of change for a company trying to maintain its credit rating. Beyond the financial aspect, there’s hope that the two rivals can work together....

The 25-year old Raonic confirmed the news through his Instagram account and said, “I’d also like to break some news to #TeamMilos. I’d like to announce the Carlos Moya will be joining the team in Melbourne. As a great champion, competitor and person I think he will be a great mentor/coach to me in achieving my dreams and complementing/joining the team." Moya will bring a new dimension to Raonic’s game, particularly helping the big-serving Canadian fix some of his weaknesses, most notably his movement and the return of serve....

Close approaches happen all the time, and are being predicted by NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), which tracks space rocks that occasionally pass near our planet during their orbits around the Sun. In terms of space, distance is relative. The two space rocks—2021 HC3 and 2021 AE4—due to glide safely past our planet will both do so at a distance roughly 18 times farther away from us than the Moon is....

Is there a deeper meaning to be discovered—beyond the fact that it’s a lively time to work the political beat in the Golden State, and leaders here make good fodder for late-night comics? (The latest on L.A.: “It was so hot our mayor was having sex with a reporter from an Alaskan TV station—that’s how hot,” Jay Leno joked Wednesday night). A closer look at how the mayors have handled their respective messes does suggest some lessons that may apply to politicians in hot water beyond the state’s borders (paging Senator Vitter!...

Suffolk County Police told Newsweek that the men were found at around 3 p.m. on Monday. The identities of the men and their relationship to each other is unclear at this time.

The discovery of the men’s bodies comes as elsewhere in the state police have been busy investigating a spate of deaths in New York City’s Central Park....

The trailer for Naruto Shippuden: Dragon Blade Chronicles features a match between Sasuke and Naruto, both using their acquired Ninja Scrolls to battle it out with each other. One of the features displayed in the trailer is the ability to fight in five different regions, each with its own corresponding element (Earth, Lightning, Fire, Wind, Water). Each region has its own deadly traps that can trip you up in the middle of a match or provide an opening to catch your opponent off guard....

Trump announced Wednesday morning that rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black, who were each convicted for separate federal gun charges, would be granted clemency for their crimes. Lil Wayne received a full pardon, while Kodak Black’s sentence was commuted. Lil Wayne, 38, pleaded guilty last month to possessing a loaded, gold-plated handgun in Miami in December 2019. He could have faced a sentence of up to 10 years in prison at a January 28 court hearing in Miami....

Eugene Police Department spokeswoman Melinda McLaughlin told The Register-Guard newspaper that the players were arrested Sept. 12. Because the goods totaled less than $100, they were cited for misdemeanor theft. McLaughlin said she doesn’t know when they will appear in court.

Austin hit a two-run homer, Kyle Gibson pitched seven effective innings and the Twins beat the Detroit Tigers 4-3 on Saturday night. Austin was acquired in the July 30 trade that sent Lance Lynn to the New York Yankees. The 26-year-old Austin, who hit .223 with eight homers in 34 games for the Yankees before the move, was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Friday. “He looks like a modern-day player — his first three times up were a walk, a strikeout and a homer,” manager Paul Molitor said....

What Is Tympanoplasty? In a tympanoplasty, the surgeon patches a hole within the eardrum that isn’t healing by itself. The surgery is done either through the ear canal or through an incision at the back of the ear. A tissue graft is taken from the patient, usually from behind the ear, and used as the patch. A synthetic material graft may be used also. It is held in place with packing material....

In the aftermath of Noru, known as Karding in the Philippines, at least eight people were killed and hundreds more were displaced, while cleanup efforts began across Luzon, the country’s northernmost and largest island. Five government rescue workers drowned in the Bulacan province, north of Manila, on Sunday, after their boat overturned after being hit by a collapsing wall. These rescuers perished in the same floodwaters from which they were attempting to save vulnerable residents....

The typhoon made landfall on Tuesday over Salcedo, located on the eastern central islands of Eastern Visayas around 5 p.m. local time, according to The Weather Channel. A category 1 storm, the typhoon’s heavy rain and strong winds could cause landslides and damage structure. The coast guard banned sea travel along the storm’s projected path and about 24,000 people were stranded in seaports, Bloomberg reported. About 1,700 people in flood- and landslide-prone areas were ordered to move to safety, according to Agence France Presse, but given the timing of the storm, some didn’t want to leave....

The Chiefs speedster challenged the eight-time Olympic gold medalist to a 40-meter dash at the end of last month and the two have gone back and forth on Twitter ever since. On Thursday, Bolt appeared on the Dan Patrick Show, where it was put to him that a race over 70 meters would be fairer for both competitors. Patrick suggested that Hill, one of the fastest players in the NFL, may beat Bolt over 40 meters, but would not keep up with him over anything longer than 60 meters....

Taylor did not take the field out of halftime with Houston tied 14-14 with the Browns; instead, rookie backup Davis Mills took over. It’s uncertain when Taylor suffered the injury, but he did come up limping after his 15-yard touchdown scramble with 7:06 left in the second quarter.

As revealed by Fury, Joshua’s team has had the contract for over two weeks but failed to sign it after verbally agreeing to all the terms. Interestingly, ‘The Gypsy King’ earlier suggested that this past Monday was the deadline for ‘AJ’ to get the contract signed, and after he failed to do so, Fury pulled the plug on the fight. However, the lineal champion recently took to social media to reveal that even though he suggested the fight was off, his team was still in contact with Anthony Joshua’s team to get the contract signed....
