Ted Cruz's infamous mullet was edited out of a photo on the cover of his new book by the publisher. The Texas Republican announced last week that he's writing his third book, titled "Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America." A person familiar with the matter told Insider that the decision to edit Cruz's mullet out of the picture was made by his publisher, the conservative outfit Regnery Publishing, and not the senator himself. "Is the routine touching up of a photo for a book cover considered newsworthy?" Cruz later began sporting a mullet fade as the Senate began debating impeachment charges against former President Donald Trump for incitement of an insurrection, prompting the Houston Chronicle to ask "What the hell is going on with Ted Cruz's hair?"

Arizona's terrible NHL team is stuck using a college arena for its games as it awaits a public vote. This May, voters will decide the future of a $2.1 billion plan that includes the Coyotes' new arena. The NHL's Arizona Coyotes are for the moment stuck in an arena that is three times smaller than any other in the league. The professional team might need the facility for a few more years, but they can't even emblazon their own logo on center ice. The city also paid $50 million to the NHL to keep the team in the city while the franchise navigated bankruptcy.

So, she started sharing her legal knowledge on TikTok to see if she could generate buzz where she lives in Missouri. "I have ADHD and I cannot complete any task without my list," Sparks said. And if someone calls about an item that she's already crossed off her list, she'll reschedule the call for the following day.

For more than 70 days this summer, a marine heatwave cooked the waters of the western Mediterranean. "We've been witnessing marine heatwaves during the last 20 years," said Garrabou, who's also coordinator of the T-MEDNet marine monitoring network. A 2016 marine heatwave along Chile's southern coast caused huge algae blooms that wiped out fish farms and cost the aquaculture industry some $800 million, said scientist Kathryn Smith with the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom. As the world warms, marine heatwaves are expected to become more frequent, according to the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Though economists have yet to account fully for the impacts of marine heatwaves, recent experience has many concerned.

Liderul nord-coreean Kim Jong Un a interzis purtarea blugilor rupţi sau „skinny”, dar şi a tunsorilor de tip „mullet” (specifice anilor '80: părul tuns scurt în faţă şi lăsat să crească lung la spate, sub formă de chică). Măsura are ca principal scop menţinerea tineretului nord-coreean departe de tendinţele „decadente” ale modei din Vest, informează agenţia sud-coreeană de presă Yonhap, scrie digi24.ro. Un apel în acest sens a fost făcut într-un articol apărut în Rodong Sinmun - publicaţia Partidului Muncitoresc Coreean - în care s-a arătat că „tentativele de a implementa socialismul în alte ţări au eşuat din cauza invaziei stilului de viaţă capitalist”. Tunsorile „mullet” au fost şi ele interzise din aceste motive. Nu e de mirare, din moment ce în Coreea de Nord, femeile au la dispoziţie doar 18 tipuri de tunsori standard, iar bărbaţii îşi aranjează coafura după modelul liderului suprem Kim Jong Un.
