CNN —Michael Bublé made a surprise appearance at a Foo Fighters show on Saturday in San Francisco. The percussionist, who has played with a number of artists, including Bublé, has been performing with Foo Fighters following the death of their late bandmate, Taylor Hawkins. “The last couple shows — I always look out [into the crowd] — someone’s like ‘I know the Bublé song,’ ‘I’ll come up and sing,’ ‘I know the Bublé song,’” Grohl told the crowd. “And every time someone f—ing says they know the song, they don’t know the f—ing song. Who knows the f—ing song?”Bublé then popped up in the audience holding a sign, reading, “I [heart] Bublé.”“Hold on a second — we got a superfan.

GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy rapped to an Eminem song at the Iowa State Fair. Ramaswamy has had a surprise surge in the polls and is now challenging Ron DeSantis for second place. The 38-year-old biotech millionaire grabbed the mic and rapped a verse of Eminem's "Lose Yourself" while on stage at the Iowa State Fair. Kim Reynolds at the fair revealed that the Eminem song was his favorite to walk out to at campaign events because it was "young and scrappy." The long shot candidate has recently had a surprising surge in the polls that has seen him challenging Florida Gov.

☆ Newly discovered ancient creature may have been the heaviest animal ever
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-05 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

This week, scientists shared discoveries of ancient species that lived and died tens of millions of years ago, providing tantalizing insights into creatures never documented until now. The colossal ancient whale, which swam the seas about 39 million years ago, likely weighed two to three times more than the blue whale. NASA/ESA/Joseph Olmsted (STScI)When the Hubble Space Telescope initially observed a young planetary system 32 light-years from Earth, it didn’t reveal any surprises. And the James Webb Space Telescope spied new details within the colorful, iconic Ring Nebula. The fruit flies in the groundbreaking study don’t typically reproduce through virgin births, also called parthenogenesis, although many animal species do.

Ms. Swift’s tour alone is on pace to earn over a billion dollars, while Harry Styles’ Love On Tour ended a couple of weeks ago as the fourth-highest-grossing tour of all time. Elton John wrapped a tour earlier this summer that stands as the highest-grossing of all time — at least for now. While the average ticket price for the Bruce Springsteen tour is an already hefty $250, thanks to so-called dynamic pricing, tickets have been on sale for as much as $5,000. Beyoncé’s tour this summer boasts a giant metallic tank and robot arms, and Ms. Swift’s set is like a traveling Vegas production.

☆ A planet’s atmosphere is blasted away by a star and Hubble captures it
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-31 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

CNN —The Hubble Space Telescope captured an unexpected observation of a nearby planet that’s having its atmosphere blasted away by energetic outbursts from its star. As the planet is blasted by radiation, its atmosphere heats to the point that it escapes the planet’s gravity and puffs out into space. The planet gets hit with flares, X-rays and stellar wind, or a charged stream of particles released from the star. “This creates a really unconstrained and frankly, scary, stellar wind environment that’s impacting the planet’s atmosphere,” Rockcliffe said. Astronomers will conduct more follow-up observations of the system with Hubble to track how the planet changes in the future.

Which raises the question: Who would Trump bring back into his orbit should there be a second Trump term?

That is, they agree or strongly agree with statements such as “the federal government should declare the US a ‘Christian nation….’”The “ReAwaken America Tour”The ReAwaken America crowd looks to be a highly energized vanguard within this population. For an Audible podcast that we produced about Flynn and his role in ReAwaken America, Clark told us he considers Flynn “to be kind of like a father figure to [him],” and he hopes that Flynn will be Trump’s vice-presidential candidate.
