Now I'm hearing Ilya's voice saying UCL surgery. The Miz just one hit the Phillies. 15 K. 0 BB. 95 pitches. Faced the minimum 27 hitters. 1.34 ERA. Tigers To Activate Tarik Skubal On Saturday; Casey Mize Likely To Return On Sunday. It's a miscarriage of justice that Skubal's wife isn't named Christina or Heather.

I've watched 29 of the 33 episodes of this agreeable little show starring Giacomo Gianniotti (whom I've never forgiven Grey's Anatomy for killing off) and Vanessa Morgan, who used to be married to oft-injured pitcher Michael Kopech. It is set in Vancouver, so the scenery is gorgeous. Imagine Morgan and Karadec 15 years younger... and she's a con artist. Season 4 has already been shot, though no airdate has been announced. The first 2 seasons are on Prime, but I had to download the CW app on my ROKU to watch season 3.

Shalit became a beloved figure in American media thanks to his distinctive, pun-filled takes on American film - and also his on-air persona, including his handle-bar mustache, glasses and bow ties. His career started in print journalism, at publications like Ladies' Home Journal and The New York Times. He joined the "Today" show as a contributor in 1970 before becoming a full-time book and film critic three years later - and remained in the role for another thirty years.

A year ago today, 260 people died in the tragic Air India crash. Air India Flight 171 departed from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, on June 12, headed for London. The aircraft carried 230 passengers and 12 crew members, but just 32 seconds after takeoff, the plane catastrophically crashed into student housing just one mile from the airport. All but one person on board died, along with 19 people on the ground. An additional 67 people sustained serious injuries. In a deeply troubling revelation following the crash, five chilling words spoken between the pilots aboard the doomed Air India flight have now been revealed. The disturbing details of the cockpit conversation that occurred moments before the Air India aircraft met its catastrophic fate were released in the official report issued by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau late Friday. The haunting words recorded on the cockpit voice recorder have been confirmed by the report: "In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other 'why did you cut off?' The other pilot responded that he did not do so." Investigators suspect that the Boeing 787 Dreamliner's fuel flow switches for both engines were mistakenly activated almost at the same time, just seconds after takeoff, shutting off the fuel supply and causing the catastrophic incident as both engines shut down. The report states: "At about 08:09:05 UTC, one of the pilots transmitted 'Thrust not achieved... falling... MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY'. The ATCO enquired about the call sign. ATCO did not get any response but observed the aircraft crashing outside the airport boundary and activated the emergency response." The exchange between the pilots in the cockpit has sparked a crucial question within the aviation sector about the crash. Specialists are puzzling over how the fuel switches could have been accidentally flipped during flight, especially since they are intentionally designed to be 'highly reliable' and constructed to prevent unintended activation. To switch off each lever, it must initially be pulled upward before it can be moved. They're also fitted with protective guard brackets to prevent accidental bumps or contact. A Canada-based air crash investigator told the BBC: "It would be almost impossible to pull both switches with a single movement of one hand, and this makes accidental deployment unlikely." US aviation safety specialist John Cox emphasized: "You can't bump them [the fuel switches that feed the engines] and they move." According to preliminary findings from investigators, no clear defect has been identified with the Boeing aircraft or its engines, suggesting neither GE, the engine manufacturer, nor Boeing will bear responsibility for the accident. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau report also disclosed the jet was loaded with 54,200kg of fuel, comfortably within 'allowable limits'. Fuel samples collected from the aircraft's refueling process were similarly deemed 'satisfactory'. The report continued: "The aircraft achieved the maximum recorded airspeed of 180 Knots IAS at about 08:08:42 UTC and immediately thereafter, the Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of 01 sec. "The Engine N1 and N2 began to decrease from their take-off values as the fuel supply to the engines was cut off. In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff. The other pilot responded that he did not do so." However, the report falls short of clearly establishing how the switch - normally utilized to start and shut down the engines and typically left on throughout flight - could have shifted to its cutoff position. The preliminary conclusions center on the alarming finding that the aircraft's engine fuel flow switches were mysteriously shut off after takeoff, causing an evident loss of thrust moments after the plane ascended. In a tragic sequence of events, the commercial jet's emergency power generator seemingly engaged just moments before it crashed to the ground, resulting in the deaths of all but one of the 242 passengers aboard. The ill-fated Flight AI171 had reached only approximately 625 feet in altitude before crashing into a medical college complex, also claiming lives on the ground. Despite initial theories, the AAIB's preliminary report has ruled out bird strikes as the cause of dual engine failure, noting there was "no bird activity" near Ahmedabad at the time of the incident. The report states: "No significant bird activity is observed in the vicinity of the flight path. The aircraft started to lose altitude before crossing the airport perimeter wall." The damage evaluation presents a sobering picture; the report indicates: "The Aircraft was destroyed due to impact with the buildings on the ground and subsequent fire. A total of five buildings were impacted and suffered major structural and fire damages." Describing the aircraft's final moments, the report discloses: "As the aircraft was losing altitude, it initially made contact with a series of trees and an incineration chimney inside the Army Medical Corps compound before impacting the northeast wall of the first building." The devastation intensified as the aircraft fragmented further while striking additional structures and nearby vegetation. According to the report: "As the aircraft moved forward, it continued fragmenting and collided with other structures and vegetation. The impact witness marks on the building and airplane indicated a likely nose-up attitude (about 8°) and wings level." British national Vishwash Kumar Ramesh was the sole survivor among the 242 passengers and crew aboard the Boeing Dreamliner, remarkably escaping the wreckage despite sustaining injuries. The final report confirms that he has since provided a statement to investigators. https://www.aol.com/articles/pilots-five-harrowing-last-words-060000000.html

A Texas woman is suing McDonald's after being leveled by a Sausage McMuffin with Egg she alleges was "wholly unfit for human consumption," according to a lawsuit reviewed by The Independent. In a civil complaint filed May 26 in Manhattan Supreme Court, Yvette Hinds describes the sandwich that took her out as having contained "contaminants, poisons, toxins, parasites, bacteria, germs and/or organisms which would and did cause various serious personal injuries." Upon finishing the McMuffin, Hinds became "violently ill and nauseated," suffering "severe pains and distress throughout her body," the complaint goes on. Her "physical, nervous and mental systems were seriously and permanently injured by such contaminated food," and Hinds was forced to endure "several operations, procedures and treatments" because of the tainted McMuffin, according to the complaint. It says she is no longer able to take care of her "customary duties" at home, and will "continue to be rendered unable" to do so from here on out. "Solely as a direct consequence of the consumption of the food aforesaid, plaintiff Yvette Hinds was caused to incur great expense for medical care and treatment, and will continue to incur great expense for medical care and treatment in the future," the complaint states. In an email on Thursday, attorney Mark Shirian, who is representing Hinds, declined to comment or provide any further details about his client's physical injuries. McDonald's and the franchisee in charge of the Midtown Manhattan location where Hinds purchased the McMuffin did not respond to requests for comment. Hinds's lawsuit can be traced back to May 25, 2023, when she bought a Sausage McMuffin with Egg at McDonald's restaurant #18884, at 51st Street and Broadway in Manhattan, according to her complaint. However, the complaint contends, the McMuffin was "not reasonably safe, good, sound, fit, proper, healthful, wholesome food, [and] free from contaminants," but rather, "contaminated, tainted, poisonous, injurious and wholly unfit for human consumption." She soon became "dangerously ill and sick, and her entire body became infected and poisoned" by the McMuffin, through no fault of her own, the complaint alleges. By serving Hinds the McMuffin, the complaint says McDonald's "warranted and represented that same was reasonably safe, good, sound, fit, proper, healthful, wholesome food." Hinds "had no knowledge that… such food was not fit for use as intended, to be consumed and eaten," according to the complaint. It goes on to accuse McDonald's of "negligence and carelessness… in the preparation, service, furnishing, testing, handling, cleaning, inspecting, guarding, storage, warning, distribution, control and protecting said food." Last year, Staten Island resident Louis Spitalieri sued McDonald's after biting into a hamburger and allegedly coming away with a clump of hair and a shard of metal in his mouth. Also last year, McDonald's was sued after an errant slice of cheese on a Big Mac sent Charles Olsen, a music producer with a severe milk allergy, into anaphylactic shock and put him on the brink of respiratory failure. "We're just so grateful that Mr. Olsen is still with us," Olsen's attorney said at the time. In February 2025, a Brooklyn pastor sued McDonald's after eating a "rotten" Chicken McCrispy sandwich that left him in serious gastric distress for some six weeks, he said. "I do believe that my faith saved me," Irsaliev told The Independent. "As the Bible says, if you believe in God, not even poison is going to kill you." As for Hinds, she is demanding money damages from the McDonald's Corporation and franchisee the 18884 Food Corporation, to be determined at trial, plus attorneys' fees and court costs. The McDonald's in Midtown Manhattan where Yvette Hinds claims she was severely sickened

Margaret Cho got the script for heated rivalry and loved it and wanted to do it but because she had been so vocal about hating ICE she was afraid that if she went to Canada to do it, she would be detained at the border so after much contemplation, she turned it down. She was very upset to do so, but it hasn't stopped her from watching it, loving it, and throwing several watch parties for it. She didn't say which part it was for but she seems too old to be Shane's mom, so I don't know who it could have been. His nurse? That was only a couple of lines; they would not have had the budget for that.

When Erica Hill opened Sparrow Funeral Home in Greenpoint in November 2021, she did it with an aim to make it more publicly acceptable to talk about lost loved ones and grieve openly. So when she heard New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns speaking about how he felt his late mother’s presence during the NBA Finals, it really resonated. The seve-footer told ESPN that he sensed “a calm and a peace” coming from “the woman above” who he has described as one of his biggest supporters. Hill was moved by his candor — so much so that it inspired her to host a watch party in an unlikely place: her mortuary. “The more we can talk about the people we love who have died and talk about our grief — it helps everybody,” Hill told The City Reporter. “We’re not doing it in silence.” The response has been huge, she said. Hill’s post about the event immediately went viral, garnering more than 400,000 views on a social media post. Now, she’s worried the watch party might attract too many people; the space’s two rooms together can accommodate less than 200 seats. Hill said she figures enough people will be put off by the idea of watching the game from a funeral home that it won’t get too crowded, though. The response speaks to a sentiment shared by many New Yorkers watching the games from dive bars, living rooms and funeral homes alike: a generation has passed since the last time the Knicks went to the Finals in 1999, and took home the championship back in 1973. For those whose parents and grandparents watched the Knicks go all the way decades ago — and are now watching it without them — the feeling is bittersweet. Ofelia Brooks, a writer and lawyer whose family immigrated from Belize to Brooklyn in the ‘70s and ‘80s, lost her mother a year and a half ago. It’s been nice to have Towns “reminding people that success comes with mourning,” she told The City Reporter. Though she grew up in southern California, she moved back to New York after college and law school, and now lives here part time between New York City and Chicago. Wecover NYC, on historic days and every day. Brooks wasn’t alone in posting through it. New Yorkers, Knicks fans and even Knicks haters alike expressed gratitude for Towns’ vulnerability. “KAT’s being open about grief has made me a fan … The more we speak about grief and loss the more normalized it becomes,” one X user wrote, identifying in their profile as an Iowan. “As much as this pains me to say: Go Knicks!” Towns’ mother, Jacqueline Cruz-Towns, died in April 2020 due to complications from COVID-19. While Towns was born in New Jersey, he played for the national team in the Dominican Republic, his mother’s home country, at 16. “As you go through life, if you lose a parent … you just look for signs, and I’ll take any sign I could get,” Towns told ESPN after Game 2 about a play that went his team’s way. Brooks knows what he meant. When she closed on a Chicago home near Kosciuszko Park, she took it as a sign. In Brooklyn, her family lived on Kosciuszko Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant. “I just really feel like that’s a sign from my mother. I mean, she knows how much I miss New York. She knows how much like New York is now a bittersweet memory for me when I’m there,” Brooks said. Brooks wishes more celebrities would speak up about their grief; it’s brought together her own group of friends who are going through grief together, and made her feel seen. In Brooklyn, Hill was already excited about the Knicks’ recent wins, but she decided after hearing Towns’ comments about his loss over the weekend that she would host a watch party. “We spend every day helping people carry the one they’ve lost,” Sparrow wrote in the caption of its Instagram post about the event. “KAT has been doing the same thing, out loud, in front of the whole world.” “He looked up. He prayed. He won,” the event post continued. “KAT knows the ones we love never really leave. So do we.” After the Knicks’ 115-111 nail-biter loss against the Spurs in Monday’s Game 3 of the finals, Hill posted again. “We know a thing or two about loss,” a second Instagram post from Sparrow read. “See you Wednesday. Go Knicks!

7 Discontinued Fast Food Cheeseburgers Fans Still Miss https://www.aol.com/articles/7-discontinued-fast-food-cheeseburgers-092000000.html There's no bigger disappointment than going to your favorite fast food restaurant thinking that you're going to order your favorite fast food cheeseburger, only to discover that it's no longer on the menu. But this tragedy happens to people all the time. If you're a victim of this cruel fate, know that you're not alone. With so many (good and bad) burgers coming and going on fast food menus, old products get discontinued all the time, and new ones swoop in to take their place. If you've been on the fast food scene for a while, there's a good chance you've seen many a cheeseburger come and go. We're now taking a walk down memory lane to take a closer look at some of the fast food cheeseburgers fans miss the most. Some of these burgers are pretty standard, with a basic combo of ingredients and a melted slice (or, in the best cases, slices) of good old American cheese. Others are more experimental, less expected from a fast food chain and the kind of thing that really sounds like it would better belong at a fancy craft burger joint. What all of these cheeseburgers share is that they've been discontinued, ripped off of the menus they once graced. But fans still remember them fondly and fantasize that one day, they'll get to taste these cheeseburgers again. McDonald's Mushroom and Swiss Burger t'was yummy! Hand holding McDonald's Mushroom and Swiss Burger up to camera - u/pocketvirgin/Reddit Once upon a time, McDonald's decided that it wanted to roll out a line of fancier burgers, despite the fact that McDonald's is probably the last place you'd think of going when you wanted a higher-end meal. It was called the Signature Crafted Recipes line, and the restaurant's mushroom and Swiss burger was just one of the menu items in the lineup. The burger came slathered with aioli and dressed up with Swiss cheese, mushrooms, and crispy onions for that extra textural touch. It may not sound like something you'd normally order from McDonald's, but it doesn't sound bad for a sandwich that seems so different from a classic Big Mac or Quarter Pounder. Unfortunately, though, the whole line of dishes, including the mushroom and Swiss burger, was removed from the menu in 2019. Redditors have posted on the platform about how much they miss this burger. One poster said that they missed the entire burger line, while another said that it was better "than it had the right to be." On another thread, even more customers said that they missed the burger, and one even said that it was the best burger that was ever on the McDonald's menu. Wendy's Gouda Bacon Cheeseburger Hands holding Wendy's Gouda Bacon Cheeseburger - Wendy's/Facebook When you think of a fast food burger, you're probably not imagining especially fancy cheese. But Wendy's was trying to offer a higher-end burger option in 2015 and ended up coming out with its Gouda Bacon Cheeseburger. Many consider American or cheddar as the go-to cheeses for a cheeseburger, yet this product switched things up with a slightly funkier, more complex cheese, along with plenty of crispy bacon, Gruyère sauce, and garlic aioli. Apparently, it was a burger that did pretty well for Wendy's too. Despite that, it was still axed from the menu because it was only introduced as a limited time menu, much to the chagrin of gouda-loving Wendy's customers everywhere. A Redditor once asked into the void if the burger was ever going to come back, saying that it was the chain's best limited time option. And after it was pulled from the menu, customers took to Wendy's Facebook page to ask the brand to bring the burger back. Some even asked why the chain got rid of the sandwich in the first place. Perhaps one day they'll hear the cries of the gouda fans, but for now, this fast food cheeseburger lives only in our memories. Burger King Stackers Burger King Double Stacker on paper wrapper - Burger King/Facebook While a lot of the fast food cheeseburgers on this list feature some uncommon ingredients that make them stand out from the pack, that's not the case when it comes to Burger King's Stackers. The idea behind this series of sandwiches, which came in single, double, and triple varieties, was a simple one: just beef, bacon, and cheese. You could "stack" those ingredients to create a simple but indulgent burger without any fussiness. They made their debut in 2006, perhaps contributing to the bacon craze of the late 2000s. But by 2011, they were gone from the menu. A Redditor took to the Burger King subreddit to ask others whether Stackers were still a thing on the BK menu, saying that they didn't eat fast food often but had a craving for these burgers every once in a while. Others said that it was gone, but if it came back, they'd be eating one daily. One Redditor said it was the "biggest casualty," mentioning that not only did the sandwich taste good, but it was also a great deal. While there are plenty of other fast food bacon cheeseburgers out there, for some Burger King fans, they just can't compare to the deliciousness of a classic Stacker. McDonald's Jalapeño McDouble McDonald's Jalapeño McDouble on a wooden plate - u/uncomfortablewraith/Reddit McDonald's might not be the best place to go when you're craving spicy fast food (despite the fact that its spicy chicken McNuggets are pretty solid), but that doesn't mean that the chain's menu has always been devoid of spicy menu items. One of the best was McDonald's Jalapeño McDouble, which has now sadly been discontinued. The burger originally made its debut back in 2014, and it boasted pickled jalapenos, jalapeno crisps, and a creamy butter milk ranch sauce. Of course, you can't forget the cheese — this burger was adorned with a slice of white cheddar. It's not totally clear how long it was on the McDonald's menu, but it was brought back again in 2024. These days, though, it's back off the menu, and there's no indication whether it will once again make a reappearance. But one thing's for sure: Customers miss this iconic, just-spicy-enough cheeseburger. In the McDonald's subreddit, one fan of the sandwich said that McDonald's should put it back on the menu, saying it was their favorite burger at the chain. Another agreed, saying they bought it all the time back in 2014. And even members of the r/spicy subreddit have paid their respects to this now-defunct sandwich. McDonald's Cheddar Melt McDonald's Cheddar Melt advertisement up close - Dinosaur Dracula/Facebook You have to go pretty far back in McDonald's memory to find the chain's cheddar melt. This sandwich came out periodically in the '80s and 1990s, only for it to be revived a few times before falling off the menu completely in 2004. This burger was somewhat like a Philly cheesesteak. It started with a beef patty, topped with a creamy cheddar cheese sauce and adorned with grilled onions for extra flavor. It all sat in between two halves of a rye bun. Even though it's been a pretty long time since this menu item has made an appearance on McDonald's menu, it's a fast food cheeseburger that customers still seem to remember. A Redditor recently said that they wish the chain would bring it back, while another claimed that it was their favorite McDonald's sandwich of all time. One commenter even said they'd do anything for McD's to give the sandwich another run. It's a real source of nostalgia for longtime McDonald's eaters, and there are plenty out there who reportedly still long for its return. Burger King Sourdough King t'was yummy! Burger King Sourdough King next to BK fries - Burger King/Facebook If you're a purist, then you probably believe that burgers always belong on buns. After all, apart from the patty, isn't that what sets a burger apart from a sandwich? But Burger King apparently doesn't subscribe to this belief, and the proof is in the chain's Sourdough King, which made its debut on the Burger King menu in 2018. It came with a beef patty, of course, along with American cheese, bacon, onions, and a rich, creamy sauce. But the standout feature of this burger, of course, was the sourdough bread in place of the bun. It's not clear when it was removed from the menu the first time, but in 2021, the chain brought it back in response to the growing sourdough trend that bloomed from the pandemic-era baking craze. However, it was only released as a limited time item, which is a huge bummer for all the sourdough burger lovers out there. But there are still customers out there who miss the burger and wish it would come back. When it was announced that it was leaving the menu, some online commenters expressed their dismay. Once it was already gone, another Redditor questioned why the chain would discontinue a sandwich that was so good. Wendy's Bourbon Bacon Burger Wendy's Bourbon Bacon Burger on white wrapper - PJ Lennon/Facebook If you like hefty, intense burgers, then Wendy's Bourbon Bacon Burger was probably right up your alley. It had the same square patty you expect on every Wendy's burger, along with a layer of melted cheese and a stack of bacon strips. Crispy onions added both a savory flavor and just the right amount of texture, and finishing it all off with a bourbon sauce made for an even more unique and decadent burger. But, alas, this cheeseburger was only on the menu for a limited time, so it was no surprise when it was finally pulled in May of 2023. Early advertisements date the cheeseburger's release back to the 1980s. Today, it seems like fans are serious about this burger and still hope it comes back someday. One fan took to change.org to start a petition to bring the burger back. At the time of writing, it had over 620 signatures. That petition made its way to a Reddit thread, where the poster said it was the whole reason they even went to Wendy's. Other people on the forum have discussed the burger's discontinuation and insisted that Wendy's put the cheeseburger back on the menu once again. One user even said that, despite the fact that it was quite a messy burger, they were obsessed with it.
