The "Love Is Blind" formula is losing steam after season seven's DC disaster. Taylor Krause on season seven of "Love Is Blind." But the pacing of season seven, which was released on Netflix in October, is just too slow. The pods are understandably the most important part of the experiment, but since everyone knows that the real drama and relationship testing happens outside the pods, it was disappointing that so much time was spent in them. Plus, much of the focus was on a couple — Leo and Brittany — who we never got to see in the real world.

So let’s do our best to tell you about Game 5 of the 2024 World Series — the game that crowned the Los Angeles Dodgers the champions of baseball, but also very possibly the craziest World Series clincher ever. Was that upside-down enough to qualify as the craziest World Series clincher ever? That was Game 5 of the 2024 World Series, the only postseason game in history in which all that happened. On one hand, STATS tells us that the previous two teams to do it in a World Series game both won anyway. That would be the Cubs, in Game 7 in 2016, and the Cardinals, in The David Freese Game (Game 6) in 2011.

The modern 40 means having toddlers running around, buying your first home, and, at last, catching up on retirement savings. "By the time you're 40, 45, you can't sing, and you can't play guitar; maybe it's time to give up on your aspirations of being a rock star." At work, you realize you're protected from age discrimination, which you feel like you're still much too young for. When we're young, we're happy — and then that declines, bottoming out in middle age, about 40 to 50. The question isn't just whether my 40 will look like my parents' 40 — it's also whether it will look like the 40 of everyone from my high school.

A Virginia man has been charged with making numerous death threats against Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. Frank Carillo, of Winchester, Virginia, posted a series of violent threats about Harris last month using an alias on the conservative social media site GETTR, according to a criminal complaint unsealed in the Western District of Virginia on Friday. Investigators alleged that Carillo had posted 19 times about Harris, including threats to shoot, stab and burn her alive. Investigators said a search of Carillo's home turned up two guns — a handgun that he purchased last year and an RF-15 rifle that he bought this year. Carillo also made statements about other federal officials, including President Joe Biden and FBI Director Christopher Wray, the complaint alleged.

☆ Renewed calls for passage of George Floyd Justice in Policing Act after fatal shooting of Black woman in her home
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-25 | by ( Ramon Sanchez | Ray Sanchez | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

Body-camera footage released Monday showed the fatal police shooting of the 36-year-old Black woman who had called 911 for help. Here’s what you need to know about the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, what happened to it and its chances of passing. The measure seeks to ban racial and religious profiling by law enforcement at the federal, state and local level. It would mandate an overhaul of a legal doctrine known as qualified immunity that critics claim shields law enforcement from accountability. But policing reforms have not been a priority in a Congress where House Republicans are in the majority.

The state’s training and standards board records show Grayson’s law enforcement certification has been suspended. It is unclear why Grayson changed jobs so frequently and CNN has reached out to the other law enforcement agencies for more information. Minutes after the shooting, Grayson speaks to another law enforcement figure.

☆ Opinion | Harris Should Pick Walz, and Then Put Shapiro and Kelly to Work
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-22 | by ( Jonathan Alter | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

While Kamala Harris could easily make a surprise pick, I’m assuming the accuracy of reports that the short list consists of Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and Gov. At first glance, Kelly or Shapiro might seem to help more by joining the ticket. While Harris is now comfortably ahead in Minnesota, she’s behind or dead even in Arizona and Pennsylvania polls. And by not putting Shapiro on the ticket, Harris avoids splits in the party over the war in Gaza.
