The truly surprising part is that he’s having “quality conversations” with people. One fan even paid it forward by buying the song and asking of Jackson would call his father instead of him and being the nice that he is, Jackson happily obliged.

As of October 30, Mars stopped moving eastwards through the night sky and began crawling its way westwards through the constellation of Taurus. It will continue to move this direction until January 23, 2023, before reversing course once again and traveling towards the east.

Marseille, who are fourth in Ligue 1, have had a rollercoaster of a ride getting to the final – registering just one away win and five defeats but maintaining an unbeaten record at home. A Europa League win would be a belated trophy for not just star forward Antoine Griezmann (who has lifted just one Supercopa in his four years at the club) but club veteran Fernando Torres, who is yet to win a major honour with his boyhood club....

Marvin Miller and Curt Flood give a new definition to “long overdue.” No two men changed the landscape of sports more than they did — first in baseball, obviously, where they teamed up to challenge the excessively-restrictive reserve clause and make sure players have the same rights as every other American worker.
