George Springer Leaves Blue Jays Game After Being Hit by Pitch on Left Foot, but X-Rays Are Negative

Published by Sam Flores

X-rays showed no new fractures, and its not any worse than it was, manager John Schneider said after the game. He had already planned to give Springer an off day on Sunday. Springer was hit by an 88 mph slider from Connor Prielipp and immediately went to the ground in pain. After being tended to by a couple of trainers for a few minutes, Springer gingerly walked off the field and was replaced by Jesús Sánchez. In his sixth season with Toronto, the 36-year-old Springer is hitting .212 with two home runs and seven RBIs in 66 at-bats across 18 games. Copyright 2026 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Press Gazette Reality Wars investigation recognised by Paul Foot Awards

Published by Sam Flores

Press Gazette has been recognised by the Paul Foot Award judges for its investigation into AI-generated experts who conned their way into dozens of news outlets. Journalist Rob Waugh led the investigation, which began with the revelation that one of the UK’s most quoted psychologists – Barbara Santini – does not exist. Since then, Press Gazette has compiled a dossier of more than 1,000 faked stories featuring more than a dozen fake experts. Private Eye’s Paul Foot Award recognises investigative and campaigning journalism that combines “intrepid investigative skills, dogged campaigning and a deep commitment to championing fairness and exposing wrongdoing”. Other longlisted stories include The Observer for The real Salt Path investigation, Democracy for Sale’s investigation into PR dirty tactics against The Sunday Times and The i Paper’s revelations about silicosis killing kitchen installers (see full longlist). The longlist of 12 will be narrowed down into a shortlist of six and the winner will be announced on 1 June. After the first Press Gazette article, journalists began to contact Waugh with screenshots of email inboxes …

If your work boots have ever felt cramped across the ball of your foot, Red Wing has a stat that explains why. The Minnesota bootmaker engineered its new IronFlex boot line using fit data from more than three million worker foot scans collected through the company’s in-store scanning system. After analyzing all that info, the company came up with a roomier forefoot and toe box to address how the human foot is actually built. Three million scans Red Wing has been capturing 3D foot scans in its retail stores through a partnership with Volumental, a Stockholm scanning company whose hardware turns a stocking-foot stand-up into a digital foot model in about ten seconds. Years of running customers through it gave the Red Wing a population-scale dataset of what actual work feet look like across a varied population. That dataset drove specific design changes in the …

Meet One Foot in the Grave star Annette Crosbie’s TV star daughter

Meet One Foot in the Grave star Annette Crosbie’s TV star daughter

Published by Daniella Wilson

One of the biggest sitcoms of the 1990s was the BBC’s One Foot in the Grave, which focused on the exploits of early retiree Victor Meldrew, played by Richard Wilson. While the show focused on Victor’s antics, one of the most beloved characters from the sitcom was his long-suffering wife, Margaret, played by Annette Crosbie. Margaret often served as her husband’s comic foil, before becoming a more complex character. Annette, now aged 92, starred in the show for ten years, appearing in all six of the show’s seasons, as well as its special episodes. However, the star also appeared in the likes of The Pope Must Die, Calendar Girls and Into the Woods. However, her most successful roles were in The Six Wives of Henry VIII, where she played Catherine of Aragon, and Edward the Seventh, where she portrayed Queen Victoria. Both of these roles saw the star win BAFTA Awards for Best Actress. Away from her career, Annette initially found love with Michael Griffiths, with the pair marrying in 1966 and welcoming two children. …

It’s a bird! It’s a head! No, it’s a mummified foot.

While the traditional image conjures a well-preserved, carefully wrapped ancient Egyptian body inside an elaborately decorated tomb, there are many more examples of partial and poorly prepared remains. These especially delicate specimens are difficult for scientists to even document, much less analyze in sufficient detail. Take a collection of mummy fragments housed at the MNMKK Semmelweis Museum of Medical History in Budapest, Hungary. Curators have housed the archaeological discoveries since the institution opened in 1965, and at least some of the mummies are over 2,300 years old. But apart from the radiocarbon dating, they lacked the technological capabilities to safely study them. However, researchers can finally see the remains with impressive clarity thanks to the recent installation of a high-resolution CT scanner. The oldest mummy specimen is over 2,300 years old.

Texas QB Arch Manning Says He’s Feeling ‘100 Percent’ After Foot Surgery

Texas QB Arch Manning Says He’s Feeling ‘100 Percent’ After Foot Surgery

Published by Sam Flores

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas quarterback Arch Manning is doing light workouts so far in spring practice following offseason foot surgery. But he said Wednesday that his body is as strong as it’s been since he had what school officials said was a minor procedure in January. “I feel 100 percent right now. We’re kind of taking it slow, but if we had a game today I’d be playing,” Manning said. “Obviously when you’re not out there, you’re kind of antsy. It was hard the first few weeks just not being able to do anything. Now I get to do a little bit more.” Manning is coming off his first season as the Longhorns’ full-time starter. The nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning passed for 3,163 yards and 26 touchdowns and ran for 10 TDs in 2025. While he waits to do more on the field, he’s been focused on mental reps, footwork drills and getting to know some of his new teammates. “It’s been different, but it’s been good,” Manning said. “It’s honestly been …

Man Lights 1.2 Million Square Foot Warehouse on Fire for Not Paying Him Enough

Man Lights 1.2 Million Square Foot Warehouse on Fire for Not Paying Him Enough

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Many workers’ pay is effectively frozen in an unforgiving labor market that hasn’t seen any meaningful increases in wages in decades. Meanwhile, the cost of living — not to mention the price of gas — continues to rise, making it difficult for low-income households to squeeze by. One strategy we wouldn’t recommend is to set a 1.2-million-square-foot warehouse filled to the brim with toilet paper and other highly flammable paper products on fire — which is exactly what a disgruntled employee at a paper products facility in Ontario, California did earlier this week, as the LA Times reports. The resulting fire, which started just after midnight local time on Tuesday, was enormous, requiring 175 firefighters and 15 fire trucks to put it out. And if you really, really can’t keep yourself from watching the world burn, we do not, under any circumstances, advise you to film yourself while doing it — which is also what 29-year-old Highland resident …

Trump Supporters Getting Scammed by AI-Generated Foot Fetish Model

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech For an Instagram page only a few months old, Jessica Foster is thriving. The model has over a million followers on the social media platform, and a blossoming OnlyFans presence boasting 13,000 likes across 25 posts. A purported US military service member, Foster is young, blonde, and gorgeous. She’s appeared in images with the influencer Darren “IShowSpeed” Jason Watkins Jr., Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and even Donald and Melania Trump. By all accounts, she’s a nationalistic online fever dream — and that’s before we mention her risqué foot pics. There’s just one wrinkle: she’s 100 percent AI, a basic fact seemingly lost on a vast proportion of her followers. The account’s bizarre rise, first chronicled by Fast Company, began in December of 2025. Through a barrage of timely spam — she claimed to attend the Super Bowl shortly after invading Greenland — the puppet master running the Instagram page has amassed a major following of dupes and patriots …

No. 1 Duke Loses Caleb Foster to Broken Foot, Won’t Have Big Man Patrick Ngongba II for ACC Tourney

Published by Sam Flores

Top-ranked Duke has lost starting point guard Caleb Foster to a broken right foot that will keep him out for an extended period, while starting big man Patrick Ngongba II won’t play in this week’s Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament while dealing with his own foot issue. “In his mind and our mind, we’ll do everything we possibly can with our mindset to continue to advance where we can give him a shot to come back when it’s all said and done,” Scheyer said. Foster had started 30 of 31 games this year, averaging 8.5 points and 2.8 assists for the Blue Devils (29-2). He was hurt with about five minutes left before the break when he stumbled backwards and planted his right foot awkwardly, then immediately turned to the bench. Foster grabbed at his right foot while being evaluated, then left the bench area. He didn’t return until well into the second half with his foot in a boot. It’s the second time in Foster’s three seasons that he has dealt with a right-foot injury …
