Rollins’ publicist Terri Hinte confirmed his death, writing that “one of the most honoured and influential figures in American music of the 20th century and beyond, died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY.” No cause of death was given, but the saxophonist reportedly suffered from pulmonary fibrosis and other respiratory problems in recent years, forcing him into retirement more than a decade ago. Across a career spanning more than six decades, Rollins became celebrated for his expansive improvisations, muscular tenor saxophone sound and constant stylistic experimentation. He recorded more than 60 albums as a bandleader and worked with many of the central figures of modern jazz, including Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Max Roach, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, …

A new dinosaur dubbed the ‘Last Titan of Thailand’ weighed more than 9 elephants

A new dinosaur dubbed the ‘Last Titan of Thailand’ weighed more than 9 elephants

Get the Popular Science daily newsletter💡 Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Not long before an asteroid crashed into Earth and wiped out most of the dinosaurs, a long-necked dinosaur the size of nine adult Asian elephants may have been near a windy river peacefully eating plants. The bones of the Nagatitan chaiyaphumensis (aka Nagatitan) would rest there for millions of years, until paleontologists digging near a pond in northeastern Thailand found them. This newly discovered herbivore is the largest ever found in Southeast Asia and is described in a study published today in the journal Scientific Reports. Paleontologists found Nagatitan’s spine, rib, pelvis, and leg bones about 10 years ago. Its front leg bone alone was about as long as a human and the team believes that Nagatitan weighed 27 tonnes (or about 5,950 pounds) and was 88.5-feet long. It was a member of the sauropod family of dinosaurs, the long-necked, long-tailed plant-eaters that includes Brontosaurus.  “Our dinosaur is big by most people’s standards—it likely weighed at least 10 tonnes more …

Sex offender with 152 victims dubbed ‘every parent’s worst nightmare’ | UK | News

Published by Sam Flores

Siah Riley (Image: Derbyshire Police) A “depraved” Derby sex offender and blackmailer, who carried out a shocking catalogue of horrific crimes against 152 young victims, has been branded by a judge as “every parent’s worst nightmare”. Judge Shaun Smith KC told convicted rapist Siah Riley he had never encountered such a prolific offender of his kind throughout 46 years in the legal profession. The 36-year-old defendant posed as teenagers by creating fake profiles on social media and lured girls as young as nine into sending sexual videos and images to him. When some of his victims refused to comply with his demands, the Normanton paedophile threatened to share the material they had already sent him with the wider online world unless they provided him with more. When officers finally caught up with the depraved offender, they uncovered how he had meticulously organised the footage and images into files sorted by the names of his victims, reports Derbyshire Live. Handing him a 31-year sentence, Judge Smith said: “This was depraved. The extent of your obsession with …

New tiny ice world discovered with an atmosphere beyond Neptune dubbed a ‘Mini-Pluto’ | World News

Published by skeptic

A new tiny ice world has been discovered beyond Pluto surrounded by a thin atmosphere, scientists revealed. The “mini-pluto” is thought to be the solar system’s smallest object, but still has a clearly detected global atmosphere bound by gravity, researchers said. It was found passed the outermost planet of Neptune and “changes our view of small worlds in the solar system”, according to scientists. Previously, the dwarf planet of Pluto was the only celestial body beyond Neptune that was known to have an atmosphere. But now an atmosphere has been observed on another body, a cosmic ice ball formally known as (612533) 2002 XV93 and with a diameter of roughly 310 miles (500km). That makes it much smaller than Pluto, which has a diameter of 1,473 miles (2,370 km). The so-called minor planet’s atmosphere is between five and 10 million times thinner than Earth’s, according to a study published on Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy, and its origins are yet to be determined. The researchers said this object’s atmosphere may be dominated by methane, …

Farage Told To Fire Reform Candidate Who Dubbed Zelenskyy A Nazi

Farage Told To Fire Reform Candidate Who Dubbed Zelenskyy A Nazi

Published by Sam Flores

Nigel Farage has been urged to fire Reform UK candidates standing in the local elections after HuffPost UK unearthed a series of controversial online posts. One suggested Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a Nazi, while another defended the use of the word “P**i”. More than 5,000 council seats in England are up for grabs on May 7 and Reform are expected to make major gains across the country. But with just over two weeks until voters hit the ballot box, HuffPost UK has unearthed controversial social media posts by some of the party’s candidates. Janine Crook, who is standing in Darwen East, wrote on Facebook in November 2021: “I partly agree but in my area Aussie is used in a friendly manner and ‘P***’ used as an insult. I do think that is the problem.” Meanwhile, Reform’s Barnsley candidate Theresa Arnold said in March 2025 that people backing Ukraine’s war efforts should feel like “mugs”. “I have never supported Zelenskyy,” she said, comparing him to a Nazi – which is a Kremlin talking point.

Flying flags to be dubbed ‘tool of hate’ in leaked ‘cohesion’ plan | UK | News

Published by Sam Flores

A leaked draft of the Government’s new social cohesion strategy says flying flags is linked to “tools of hate”. The document reportedly states that “the extreme right” tried to “turn symbols of pride into tools of hate”. St George’s Cross and Union flags were strewn from lampposts across England last summer in a campaign called Operation Raise the Colours. Supporters insisted Brits were showing pride in their country, while critics warned the flag-flying was aimed at intimidating certain communities and a show of anti-immigrant sentiment. The leaked draft is from a version of the Government’s community cohesion plan, which is due out next week, The Sun reports. A Government source told the same publication the document is an early draft, which proposes a “special representative” to tackle Islamophobia. The “anit-Muslim hostility” tsar will be introduced to “champion efforts across the UK to tackle hostility and hatred directed at Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim”. Across its 47-pages, the document also reportedly warns anti-semitism has become “normalised in many corners of society” from schools and …

CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy, Feb 5 : Swiss mixed doubles pair Briar Schwaller-Huerlimann and Yannick Schwaller’s family reunion at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics turned into an internet sensation after their toddler delighted fans with an impromptu curling demonstration. After their 9-7 win over Estonia on Wednesday, television cameras captured their one-and-a-half-year-old son River wielding a curling broom twice his height and running around on the sidelines at the Cortina Olympic Curling Stadium. Pictures of their child in his Swiss shirt emblazoned with “Schwaller” on the back quickly sparked a social media frenzy and caught the eye of curling fans, who dubbed him the ‘Curling Baby’. “I got my son after the game, cuddled him, he wanted to get down pretty quickly. He saw the curling broom, took it and held it like a rock star and threw off the whole entire show,” Schwaller-Huerlimann said on Thursday. “We didn’t realize it (would go viral). Yesterday, for us, it was just really nice to see him again after the first few days, we haven’t seen him since …
