We went over the important topics from Friday, but he was back at it on Saturday morning and had some weird comments regarding the Raiders. According to Brown, Oakland was only interested in him to bring in ratings for the HBO show “Hard Knocks.” Let’s break this tweet down.

The Raiders receiver reacted to a report from ProFootballTalk that said the “Hard Knocks” ratings from Tuesday night’s episode in the Pittsburgh area was triple the national average. Brown saw this and had a sassy response. Chances are, former fans of Brown tuned in to the third episode of the series because it addressed more of the offseason drama surrounding him. The episode saw Brown refusing to practice, along with the issues of his helmet and his frostbitten feet that he reportedly sustained from not wearing the proper footwear in a cryotherapy chamber....

In the complaint filed in a U.S. District Court in California on Tuesday, Erik Estavillo argued that he and every “follower that was, without a doubt, emotionally and mentally damaged as a result of the Presidents’ ban” is entitled to $88.7 million each. Estavillo, who is representing himself, is also seeking the reinstatement of Trump’s account and a retaliatory Twitter ban on Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar, who, he argues, promote “Eastern communist philosophies....

“What’s so hard about saying ’this is wrong?’” Ocasio-Cortez said regarding the House vote Wednesday on actions to censure Representative Paul Gosar of Arizona. “This is about what we are willing to accept.” The House will vote Wednesday on a resolution that calls for Gosar’s public censure, as well as his removal from his two committee assignments—the House Oversight and Reform and the Committee on Natural Resources. He skipped two hearings held by the committees ahead of the vote and was seen on the House floor as the debate was ongoing....

Better known as AOC, the U.S. politician is doing this as a way to help spread awareness about voting in the upcoming election.

Ocasio-Cortez, a democratic socialist who has endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders in the 2020 race, told Seth Meyers she will get behind former vice president Joe Biden, a moderate, if he becomes the nominee. “I’ve said throughout this entire process that what is so important is that we ultimately unite behind who that Democratic nominee is,” the New York Democrat said during her appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers Thursday evening....

As an original partner in 1998, Time Warner forked over $150 million upfront. A bank is financing as much as $500 million more, which the company will owe. For that, it will own 10 floors for corporate digs, an additional expanse for its CNN studios and naming rights to the building. (Original name: the Time Warner Center.) But with AOL stock tanking, New Yorkers are buzzing about whether the company name still has the cachet to command such flashy real estate–and are questioning whether the company will ever move in....

Today, 29 percent of all species in danger of going extinct, and we may soon witness the first primate extinctions in more than a century. (Overall, 114 of the world’s 394 primate species are classified as threatened with extinction.) One species, Miss Waldron’s red colobus of Ivory Coast and Ghana, already is feared extinct, while the golden-headed langur of Vietnam and China’s Hainan gibbon number only in the dozens. The Horton Plains slender loris of Sri Lanka has been sighted just four times since 1937....

Speaking in a video interview with Vanity Fair about his latest Oscar-nominated movie Knives Out, director Rian Johnson referenced the long-rumored speculation that the technology used by a character may actually expose their true colors—even in a murder-mystery flick. “Another funny thing, I don’t know if I should say this or not… not cause it’s like lascivious or something, but because it’s going to screw me on the next mystery movie that I write, but forget it, I’ll say it....

Kobe Bryant saved one last incredible performance for his final game, a 60-point explosion in the Staples Center on April 13, 2016. It was a fitting end for him, considering his scoring ability and competitive nature sometimes forced teammates and detractors to plead, “Pass the ball!” There were no such calls in Bryant’s final game, a 101-96 win over the Jazz in which he played 42 minutes. It wasn’t the most efficient he’d ever been (Bryant completed 22 of a career-high 50 shots), but no one was going to take the ball out of his hands as time dwindled on his NBA career....

The previous weekend three Hamas suicide bombers had carried out attacks in Jerusalem and Haifa, killing 27 Israelis in the span of 12 hours. Under intense U.S. and Israeli pressure, Palestinian security forces had fanned out across the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, hauling 120 Islamic militants into custody. But Israelis derided Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasir Arafat’s efforts as a mere roundup of the usual suspects, and White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer all but mocked the Palestinian leader, saying his jails are “built with bars in front with revolving doors at the back....

Today’s athletes change teams so frequently its hard to find a player like Jeter who comes to embody the organization after spending his entire career with the team, said Barber, a former team captain on the New York Giants who’s co-chairman of Thuzio, which matches sports personalties ranging from Tim Tebow, Venus Williams and Pete Carroll with corporate clients looking to hire them for speeches and personal events. “Very rarely do you get guys like me or my brother (Ronde Barber) who spend their entire career with one team,” said Barber, who retired in 2006 after a 10-year NFL career....

Managing PCOS There has been a tremendous amount of media coverage about the growing obesity epidemic and the need to change diet and exercise habits. This is particularly true of women with PCOS because they are more prone to health complications related to their heart and blood sugar. Making changes to your diet and exercise habits can help reduce your risk for future health complications related to PCOS. You don’t need to completely eliminate one food type or another, but you will need to work to reduce the amount of sugar (white, processed sugar) that you eat, and increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins....
