NASCAR Hall of Famer Dies at 93

NASCAR has lost one of its earliest legends. Ned Jarrett, the oldest living NASCAR Cup Series champion and a Hall of Famer known to fans as “Gentleman Ned,” died Thursday at 93. NASCAR and the Jarrett family announced that the racing icon died of natural causes at his home in Newton, North Carolina, surrounded by loved ones. “A friend to everyone he met,” the family said in a statement. “While we mourn his passing, we celebrate the remarkable life of an amazing man and truly the best father anyone could have wished for,” they wrote. Jarrett’s racing career began in 1953 after a local speedway opened in his hometown. Over the next 13 years, he became one of the sport’s most dominant drivers, winning two NASCAR Cup Series championships (then known as premier-series) and 50 races between 1953 and 1966. His most famous victory came in the 1965 Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, where he won by a staggering 14 laps—the largest margin of victory in NASCAR Cup Series history. After retiring at 34, Jarrett became a beloved radio host on his show, Ned Jarrett’s World of Racing. He was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2011 and named one of NASCAR’s 50 Greatest Drivers in 1998.

A suspected thief remains at large after using a self-driving Waymo as a getaway car. Police told the San Francisco Chronicle the suspect stole merchandise from Hot 8 Yoga Studio in the Marina District in January before climbing into a waiting Waymo and fleeing the scene. Investigators believe it is the first time a suspect has used a driverless taxi as a getaway vehicle in San Francisco. “I would think it would be easier to solve in a Waymo,” Sgt. Tim Faye told the newspaper. Police obtained a search warrant seeking footage and rider information from Waymo, but six months later, no arrests have been made. According to the report, interior video was unavailable when investigators obtained the warrant, while exterior footage showed faces blurred for privacy reasons. Surveillance footage reportedly showed the autonomous Jaguar dropping off the suspect, waiting outside during the theft, and then driving away. “It was disappointing that the internal video was not able to lead to the recognition of a suspect,” Faye said.

Summer is almost here, and if you’re looking to unwind without alcohol—or want a mood boost without the side effects often associated with traditional THC or CBD edibles—Camino’s Energy Gummies offer an uplifting buzz without the munchies, next-day grogginess, or couch-lock fatigue. These hemp-derived THCV gummies are a clean, natural alternative to booze, giving you sustained energy with a mood lift.

Each energy gummy is infused with 10 mg of THC and 5 mg of THCv (delta 9 tetrahydrocannabivarin), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid dubbed as “diet weed” for its potential focus-enhancing and appetite-suppressing side effects. Camino calls the sativa-derived chemical compound a “motivational sidekick,” saying fans of the gummy use it to help boost focus for creative projects and even before a workout.

Reviewers seem to agree, noting that the gummies deliver an energizing, uplifting effect without triggering the intense snack cravings commonly associated with other THC products. “I love these. I was looking for a gummy that wouldn’t give me the munchies,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “The THCV really helps in that regard! I get a pleasant, energized, and productive feeling from these, without being overly wired like some headier strains.” Another fan of the gummies echoed the sentiment, adding that the focus-enhancing benefits were even more noticeable than expected. “I [was] SO focused on many projects I had been dragging my feet for weeks. Focus and energy was off the charts and no crash.”

Whether you’re looking for a traditional THC experience without the lethargy and increased appetite or simply searching for a hangover-free alternative to alcohol, Camino’s Energy Gummies are well worth adding to your summer rotation.

English actor Patrick Godfrey, who starred alongside Drew Barrymore in Ever After: A Cinderella Story, has died at the age of 93. “Paddy was an exceptionally talented actor and a remarkable individual, and we will miss him greatly,” his talent agency said in a statement, announcing that the actor died “peacefully at home surrounded by his family” on Thursday. The cause of his death has not been revealed. Godfrey was best known for his role as Leonardo da Vinci in Ever After: A Cinderella Story. He also appeared in the 1986 film A Room with a View and, more recently, in the 2012 adaptation of Les Misérables, as well as in other period dramas, musicals, and British television series such as Doctor Who and Inspector Morse. He was married to British actress Amanda Galafres, 90, who has appeared in more than 100 film and television productions. They had two children together. Their daughter, Kate Godfrey, works for the Royal Shakespeare Company, a major British nonprofit theater.

Katie Miller caused a stir on social media when she reposted a picture from the Washington D.C. Metro’s account of a rainbow-colored train. The MAGA podcaster and wife of President Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, posted the colorful train with the caption: “All aboard the gay train!” on her X account. Metro had posted the train with a caption that linked to a train tracker and said, “Ride Metro with Pride! Catch our Pride wrapped train in the system today through June 30!” While Miller may have intended snark with her post, the nuance was lost to the internet, where the ambiguity of her wording prompted some users to praise her support of Pride Month, which began on June first. “It’s great that you’re such an ally, Katie! love you!” one user wrote back. “Looks great! The Gay Community should be celebrated for its many contributions to this Great Nation,” said another. “Which lines? My kids love rainbows,“ another asked.

Unless you’ve got the memory of an elephant, taking notes is a must. Remarkable has built a name for itself with innovative tablets that cut out distracting apps and focus on productivity. In fact, a study by Remarkable found that users experience 35 percent less stress and 20 percent more focus when using a paper tablet compared with working on a PC. Today, the brand is unveiling a new offering—the Remarkable Paper Pure.

The new 10.3-inch model is a marked improvement in every way. The battery is longer lasting (up to three weeks on a single charge), it features a crisper black-and-white canvas display, and it is 50 percent faster than the Remarkable 2. Like its predecessor, writing on the Remarkable Pure Paper is, well, remarkable. It feels just like writing on paper with the digital ink appearing in as little as 21 milliseconds—faster than the blink of an eye.

“Thor” actor Chris Hemsworth and his family were refused permission to board an international flight. It wasn’t a political or immigration issue, but a passport mix-up, according to the star. He and his model wife, Elsa Pataky, said that Hemsworth tried to use the passport for his daughter-from-another-marriage, 14-year-old India Rose, for one of his twin sons (12-year-old Sasha and Tristan) with Pataky as his family headed overseas. He happened to have his daughter’s passport with him, but had forgotten one of his son’s passports. He thought the ruse might work because the two look alike, he told Harper’s Bazaar Arabia. (Yes, he admitted, he lied.) “They kind of look the same,” he noted, but his wife chimed in: “They don’t.” Hemsworth blew it anyway because he told the security officer: “This is her,” as he pulled out his daughter’s passport. “That’s a boy,” the officer fired back, pointing at one of the twins.

Australian authorities confiscated 100,000 illegal cockroaches from a commercial breeder, officials announced Friday. The value of the Madagascar hissing cockroaches and dubia cockroaches, which were seized live in May, was $142,000, according to the Associated Press. Both are illegal to import, keep, breed, or sell in Australia, which has strict animal regulations in order to prevent costly infestations. “We take our job protecting Australia’s unique biodiversity and breaches of national environment law very seriously,” a spokesperson for Australia’s Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water said. “We’re seeing illegal breeding and trading of exotic cockroaches and we’re putting pet businesses and pet owners on notice.” Potential uses of those exotic cockroaches, which are about one inch longer than Australia’s common cockroach, include reptile food. Alternatives are crickets and wood roaches. Charges have not been filed against the breeder in Bathurst, New South Wales. All the cockroaches will be euthanized. This was the largest seizure of exotic invertebrates in Australian history.

A star of Apple TV’s Ted Lasso has died suddenly at age 72. Anthony Head, who played the show’s evil-but-charming rival football club owner, Rupert Mannion, died from complications of pneumonia, his family has announced. Head, a native Londoner, also starred in the hit supernatural teen show Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the late 1990s and on the sketch comedy series Little Britain. Head’s Ted Lasso co-star Brett Goldstein was among the first to post a tribute after his daughters said that he died peacefully while surrounded by his family in a statement sent to the BBC. “Anthony Head was a brilliant actor who played the worst person in the world, which was an incredible skill because he was the best person,” Goldstein wrote on Instagram. “Infinitely charming and kind and fun and a joy. He will be sorely missed.” Head’s daughters, Emily and Daisy, said that their dad’s “legacy will live on.”

A never-before-seen short story by Edith Wharton, the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize and the author of The Age of Innocence, was published on Friday, more than 100 years after it was written. The Men Who Saved the World was discovered in Wharton’s archives at Yale University and appeared in The Strand Magazine, a quarterly publication known for uncovering lost or unknown works by literary figures including Raymond Chandler, Graham Greene, and Tennessee Williams. The story is believed to have been penned no earlier than July 1918 and was found in two corrected but undated typescripts in Yale’s Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. According to the Strand editor-in-chief, Andrew Gulli, the manuscript had never previously been published to the best of his knowledge. Gulli said the newly published story felt “very timely” and expressed hope it would introduce a new generation of readers to one of America’s most celebrated authors.

With so many different over-the-counter sleep remedies on the market, it’s hard to distinguish which ones (if any) actually work. If you’ve had little to no luck with other natural and over-the-counter sleep aids, consider giving Deeps Sleep Patches a try. The scientist-formulated patches are designed to be placed on your wrist before you get ready to go to sleep and be forgotten about from there.

Once the patch is placed on your wrist, the active layer slowly releases the Deeps formula into your body through your skin. Deeps Sleep Patches have proven to me that it doesn’t always require taking heavy medication like sleeping pills to get a good night’s sleep (for me).

A MAGA Florida senator has demanded that two upcoming Kanye West gigs in his state be canceled. Sen. Rick Scott wrote an open letter to Tampa’s Sports Authority Board of Directors on Thursday demanding that no taxpayer dollars be spent on the shows June 26 and 28 at Raymond James Stadium, claiming it would be a “slap in the face to our state’s Jewish community.” West, who now goes by Ye, has a history of antisemitic hate speech, including making a song titled “Heil Hitler.” “Kanye West’s consistent antisemitic attacks are an affront to the values of the people of the Hillsborough community,” Scott wrote. “He has openly praised Nazis, called himself one, and slandered Jews across the world. Kanye West also funded a Superbowl [sic] ad in 2025 that directed viewers to purchase merchandise featuring swastikas. West’s remarks are vile and a slap in the face to our state’s Jewish community. It is troubling that a stadium supported by taxpayer dollars would openly subsidize an event led by an artist known for pushing this dangerous, hateful rhetoric, especially with Florida having one of the largest Jewish populations in our country.” The letter follows several concerts in Europe being canceled, including in Italy, Poland, France, and the U.K., where he was banned from entering the country.

Veteran actor James Handy, known for roles in films like Top Gun: Maverick, Arachnophobia, and Jumanji, was killed by his girlfriend’s son on Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Police say that a 911 caller, later confirmed to be 44-year-old Michael Gledhill, told the dispatcher, “I am the son of man, I just killed the man of sin.” Officers arrived on the scene and found Handy, 81, unconscious and suffering from a stab wound to the chest in the front yard of a residence in Los Angeles’s Tarzana neighborhood. Fire department paramedics transported Handy to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. When police responded to the scene, Gledhill waved down officers, telling them he was the one responsible for Handy’s wounds. The LAPD said that Gledhill lives at the residence with his mother, who was Handy’s girlfriend. Gledhill was booked in the Van Nuys Jail on a charge of murder, and his bail is set at $2 million. Handy played a number of roles across film and television, playing a bartender in Top Gun: Maverick, as well as the county coroner, Milton Briggs, in 1990’s Arachnophobia. He also appeared in series such as 9-1-1 and NCIS: Los Angeles.
