The Scottish musician’s death was announced in a tweet by her labels Transgressive and Future Classic. As previously reported, she died around 4 a.m. in Athens, Greece. She was 34 years old. “Tragically our beautiful Sophie passed away this morning after a terrible accident. True to her spirituality she had climbed up to watch the full moon and accidentally slipped and fell. She will always be here with us. The family thank everyone for their love and support and request privacy at this devastating time,” said a statement from both labels....

Keep up to date with all the Deadline Day rumours! The Germany international has proved a good luck charm for Arsene Wenger since his arrival from Valencia in the summer with the Gunners having been unbeaten with the 24-year-old in the side in all competitions. Mustafi had gone 15 Premier League games unbeaten, more than any other top-flight player, before Tuesday’s visit of Watford. The defender’s unbeaten outings included the Gunners’ 3-0 win against Chelsea early in the season, the recent 5-0 mauling of Southampton in the FA Cup, and both of Arsenal’s draws against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League....

Call it a mutiny by Giants players who want coach Ben McAdoo fired. Call it sabotage, particularly by a defense that was so tough last season. However you slice it, sports media talkers say, the 2017 Giants have quit on their coach, their front office, their fans and each other.

The Los Angeles show will be the band’s first since 2012. Following their breakup, My Chemical Romance released a greatest hits album titled May Death Never Stop You and a tenth anniversary reissue of their classic album Welcome to the Black Parade. Each member of the band has released solo material, and lead singer Gerard Way created the Netflix series The Umbrella Academy. Unbridled excitement seemed to be the general mood online....

Like millions of my compatriots, I live with a foot in both Americas. I spend weekdays in the permissive, risque, liberal hub of New York City. On weekends I commune with a deliberately obscure upstate country village I’ll call Bluestone, in one of America’s most right-wing territories. Straddling red and blue zones can be mind opening. It helps make sense of otherwise incomprehensible differences of opinion. For example, in cities where people live as close together as boxed chocolates, guns will always cause more problems than they solve....

Since I have been engaged, while I have gotten a lot of congratulatory wishes from friends, some older, more cynical people just won’t let me be. I have heard the following comments, knocking me from my I’m-getting-married-to-the-love-of-my-life pedestal: “It will never last,” “You won’t even make it to the altar,” “Marriage is so difficult,” “It’s so hard to make it work” and my favorite, accompanied by an eye roll and a horribly sarcastic tone, “Good luck to you!...

Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) party was to begin a second term in February after winning the election in 2015, but Myanmar’s military seized power in a coup. Junta leader Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said the army’s overthrow of Suu Kyi’s party was due to “terrible fraud in the voter lists.” “We will investigate and consider whether the party should be dissolved, and whether the perpetrators should be punished as traitors,” military Union Election Commission Chairman Thein Soe said during a meeting with political parties to discuss adjustments to the electoral system....

The unmanned shuttle’s payloads have been notoriously secretive for years—fueling rampant speculation among those without high security clearance—but are generally believed to focus on technology experiments on satellites or sensors. Now, officials behind the next launch have provided an unprecedented glimpse behind the project, confirming the mission will include “on-orbit” experiments. Air Force Secretary Barbara M. Barrett said this week during a webinar hosted by The Space Foundation this week the launch will take place May 16 and is set to “host more experiments than any prior X-37B flight, including two NASA experiments....

The Washington State coach, in a feature by the Clarion-Ledger (Jackson, Miss.) about new Ole Miss offensive coordinator Phil Longo, called out the Southeastern Conference for its perceived superiority over other conferences and levels of football. MORE: 17 questions for the 2017 college football season The former Kentucky offensive coordinator blasted what he thinks is a pervasive mindset in the SEC that places a heavy emphasis on a power run game, as opposed to spreading out defenses, getting the ball to skill-position players in space and passing considerably more than traditional pro-style offenses....

The poll released Thursday by Rasmussen Reports found that 30 percent of likely Republican voters want Lindell to be the next RNC chair, compared to the 15 percent who backed McDaniel and 20 percent who picked Harmeet Dhillon, an attorney for former President Donald Trump. Another 15 percent said they didn’t support any of the three and 21 percent were undecided. The RNC head is not elected by everyday Republican voters, but rather by committee members of the national party’s governing body....

Lindell speculated that there were “probably millions of people watching right now” during the afternoon on the Thanksgiving livestream, according to The Independent. However, the “Freedom Patriot Network” YouTube channel that was carrying the event had only dozens of viewers as of Thursday evening. The total number of viewers was unclear since the event was also being streamed on Lindell’s own platforms including Frank Speech and Lindell TV, where viewing figures were not being shared publicly....

The platform has suffered tech problems since its launch earlier this month and Newsweek was redirected to a holding page when we tried to access the site on Thursday morning. The holding page claims that the updated site will feature extra content from “nationally known broadcasters,” although they are not named. The platform’s problems come as Lindell—a Donald Trump-supporting businessman who has been permanently suspended from Twitter for breaking its policies on election misinformation—appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!...

Lindell has been one of the most vocal supporters of the baseless theory that the election was stolen from Trump and that President Joe Biden wasn’t rightfully elected. Courts in multiple states have determined the Trump campaign didn’t present sufficient evidence of voter fraud last November, but Lindell has maintained for more than a month that the campaign now has enough evidence to overturn the election. “I wouldn’t be out there doing this if it wasn’t 100 percent real,” Lindell told Steve Bannon on his War Room: Pandemic podcast....

Lindell made the comments during a program he hosts on Frank, the social media platform he launched last year. During the show, he also referenced some of the conspiracy theories about fraud in the 2020 presidential election that he has pushed since Trump lost the White House. Despite frequently claiming to have evidence to support his allegations about election fraud, Lindell has not produced any viable proof. Election and cybersecurity experts have also repeatedly disproved his theories....

With 7.9 seconds left in Sunday’s game between the Mavs and Nuggets, Dallas forward Chandler Parsons took the ball on the sideline near the Denver bench. The Mavs needed to execute a simple plan: inbound the ball, get fouled and hit both free throws to essentially travel back to Texas with a win. Except it wasn’t that simple.

Pence, who served as vice president under former President Donald Trump, penned an op-ed, published on Tuesday, for The Wall Street Journal in which he strongly criticized the situation in Afghanistan. There have been chaotic scenes in the capital, Kabul, as the Taliban has rapidly advanced and seized territory throughout the country, while President Biden has defended the decision to push ahead with the troop drawdown. In his op-ed, Pence referenced comments Biden made in July, when the president said it was unlikely that the Taliban would overrun Afghanistan or that people would have to be lifted off the roof of the U....

In a Labor Day speech delivered from Wisconsin, Pence pointed to the latest jobs numbers as evidence that the U.S. economy is on the rebound. The nation added 1.4 million jobs in August, sending the unemployment rate down to 8.4 percent—the lowest it’s been since March but still higher than before the coronavirus outbreak. “After losing 22 million jobs at the height of this pandemic, we’ve already seen more than 10....

I’ve listened to several of the Browns coach’s weekly interviews on satellite radio throughout the season, and he’s a rarity — a coach who’s not too guarded. He’s not afraid to shy away from coachspeak and actually give some information worth disseminating. On Wednesday, though, I think he might have inadvertently provided his team’s next opponent with bulletin board material when he served up his opinion on Russell Wilson. MORE: Classic photos of Russell Wilson | Five reasons Wilson should be MVP...

The fact they have scheduled a second interview clearly means they’re serious about Shanahan. Also interviewing for the job, per reports, are Lions defensive coordinator Teryl Austin (Tuesday) and Bears offensive coordinator Adam Gase (Thursday)....
