  2. Opera singer Jubilant Sykes’ autopsy report has revealed new details about the singer’s untimely death at the alleged hands of his son. According to Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner documents exclusively obtained by Us on Tuesday, July 21, Skyes’ cause of death was “multiple stab wounds” by a knife — a recorded 68. His death was deemed “homicide.” The alleged murder took place inside the musician's Los Angeles home on December 8, 2025, followed by his son Micah Sykes’ subsequent arrest. Jubilant was 71 years old. The report also included details from Jubilant’s wife, Cecelia Sykes, who called the Santa Monica Police Department and alleged that “her son, who has a documented history of mental illness, had stabbed and killed” her husband. “The wife was in the shower when she heard the decedent yell out for her to call 9-1-1,” the report stated. “When she came out of the shower, she saw their adult son standing over [Jubilant] stabbing him with an apparent artifactual sharp edge weapon.” A medical summary within the documents revealed that “at least 73 total wounds” were found, with 68 labeled “sharp force” and five labeled “blunt force.” Additionally, the apparent weapons used in the incident, which were located by police next to Jubilant’s body, were “a 10-pound dumbbell containing apparent blood stains” and “a curved knife with the blade measuring approximately 9 inches long and 2 inches wide.” A toxicology report within the documents stated that no illicit drugs or prescribed medications were found, and Jubilant was pronounced dead by officials at the scene. Authorities later arrested Micah, 32, and booked him on suspicion he caused his father’s death. Neighbors told KTLA that Micah had experienced mental health issues and homelessness in the past in the wake of the singer’s passing. Santa Monica police Lt. Lewis Gilmour confirmed to KABC at the time authorities did learn of Micah’s “mental illness” history. “However, at this point, it’s unclear what circumstances led up [to the incident, and] if there was any altercation or argument,” Gilmour told the outlet. “We’re investigating that angle right now.” Micah was scheduled to be arraigned on June 4, however local news outlets recently reported that it was pushed back to Thursday, August 6. USA Today reported in December last year that Micah was being held in custody with no bail after Los Angeles County prosecutors requested to change the previous $4 million bail amount posted. According to ABC7, who also reported on the bail adjustment, Deputy District Attorney Cesar Rodriguez told a judge that Micah was not “being appropriately medicated for a schizophrenia diagnosis.” Jubilant was a Grammy award-nominated baritone who performed at New York’s Carnegie Hall, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington and the Barbican Center in London. unfortunately, thus is becoming a not-rare event among the glitterati
  3. Heartstopper: Ending on a Hi NETFLIX Drawing on unseen archival footage spanning every season through to the final film, the special brings together the cast, creator Alice Oseman, executive producer Patrick Walters, and the fans who made "Heartstopper" a global phenomenon.
  4. The full version of the sequel is one of my porn holy grails. There's some copies around online that are about 59 minutes that cut off the final scene with Casey Donovan and Dave Connors.

  6. The Athletics announced that right-hander Mark Leiter Jr. has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 19, due to a right hip impingement. Infielder Joshua Kuroda-Grauer has been put on the 10-day IL due to surgery for a ruptured testicle. Righty Hayden Juenger and infielder Max Muncy have been recalled in corresponding moves. The rookie fouled a ball off himself last night and was in obvious pain. Now in hindsight, it seems he ruptured his testicle at that moment. Despite that, he stayed in to finish the at-bat and hit a single into center field. He was later removed from the game and apparently required surgery. It’s unclear how long he’ll be out but it seems fair to expect some recovery time from such a gruesome injury.

  11. In 1898, Wilmington, North Carolina was a bastion of Black success following the end of the Civil War and the Reconstruction Era. Black cultural life flourished, while a thriving Black middle class brimmed with lawyers, educators, and elected officials. The city became a symbol of Black hope, only for all of it to come to a violent end after a group of white supremacists issued a “White Declaration of Independence,” and white men gunned down scores of Black men, chasing their families into hiding. Staff writer at The New Yorker, Lauren Collins tells the history of the white supremacist massacre and what is believed to be the only successful coup d’etat in this country in her new book, “They Stole a City: Wilmington’s White Supremacist Coup and the Families Who Live with Its Legacy.” Lauren joins Morning Joe. https://www.ms.now/morning-joe/watch/the-shocking-story-of-how-white-supremacists-stole-a-city-2507329603890
  12. In partnership with the Parks Department, City Council Member Lincoln Restler’s office planted more than 300 trees this past year in Williamsburg and Greenpoint. The effort is part of an ambitious street tree plan launched four years ago to expand the tree canopy in every neighborhood throughout the district. The office has planted over 1,000 trees since 2022. Urban trees are most vulnerable during the first two years after planting, when the average mortality rate is about 12%, according to a study by the Center for Urban Resilience. In some previous years, however, Greenpoint and Williamsburg have seen mortality rates nearly twice that average. In 2014, for example, WNYC reported that more than 22% of newly planted trees in the area died. The Parks Department recommends that newly planted trees receive about 20 gallons of water per week, especially during the hot, dry summer months. “If neighbors can help water new trees on their block, it makes an enormous difference,” said Eliza Relman, a spokesperson for Restler’s office, said in an email to Greenpointers. She also urged neighbors to keep tree pits free of garbage, road and sidewalk salt, and dog waste, all of which can contaminate the soil. Another common mistake is adding extra soil to tree pits. “While it may seem helpful, excess soil can suffocate the tree, as well as provide a breeding ground for fungi and insects.” There are a few different community volunteer groups for tree care. The council office supports any neighbors who want to help take care of trees, so anyone interested can contact them at [email protected]

  17. Stacey Leasca According to the experts, Lake Tahoe is the gold standard in any season. Straddling the California-Nevada border and sitting more than 6,000 feet above sea level, Lake Tahoe offers a stunning escape, thanks to its crisp blue waters surrounded by pine trees and mountain peaks. It also fosters a rich sense of adventure—you’ll find plenty of other visitors boating, paddle boarding, and kayaking around its banks. And with July high temperatures that typically hover under 80 degrees, you’re almost guaranteed a break from the stifling heat that overwhelms many other popular vacation spots this time of year. “Lake Tahoe is perfect for travelers looking for that year-round appeal, crystal-clear water, incredible mountain scenery, and a wide range of outdoor activities, including everything from summer boating and hiking to winter skiing,” Tom Mannings, the co-founder of Top Villas, who has been organizing trips to the destination for more than 16 years, shared with Travel + Leisure. His must-see list starts at Emerald Bay State Park, which grants postcard-worthy views of the lake, along with Sand Harbor, known for its exceptionally clear water and granite boulders. On the East Shore Trail, an easy walking and biking route that traces the edge of the lake, every inch seems to get more beautiful than the last. And the water really is the main event. At 1,645 feet deep, Lake Tahoe is the second deepest lake in the U.S., yet its water is so clear that objects are visible at depths of up to 70 feet on a calm day. Getting out to explore its depths is simply a must. “One experience I always recommend is renting a boat for the day,” Olivia Ferney, a luxury travel expert at Top Tier Travel, said. “Cruising around the shoreline, jet skiing, tubing, or anchoring in one of the lake’s crystal-clear coves” makes for the perfect day, she added. For those who want the full experience without having to source their own boat, Ferney suggests booking a stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe, where the exclusive Lake Club on the North Shore provides beach access, waterfront dining, and a fleet of MasterCraft performance boats available for everything from wake surfing to scenic private charters. “For anyone looking for the perfect long weekend that blends adventure, relaxation, and luxury, Lake Tahoe is hard to beat,” she said. Jen Ruiz, founder of travel platform Jen on a Jet Plane, just returned from her own trip to Lake Tahoe, and noted that she, too, found “no shortage of aquatic activities, from kayaking to boating.” Ruiz also appreciated the lake’s many laid-back hangout spots. “Kiva Beach is dog-friendly, and the Cocktail Corner has live music and skilled mixologists,” she said. “For a place to stay that’s reminiscent of the lodge in ‘Dirty Dancing,’ check out Zephyr Cove Resort.” However, before you book, do remember that Tahoe is an alpine lake, which means the water stays chilly even at the height of summer, with temperatures low enough to cause cold-water shock. Prepare (and play) accordingly—favor shallower water for swimming, wear a life jacket, and always swim with a buddy. With all these selling points, it’s no surprise that July and August bookings in Lake Tahoe tend to fill up quickly. Advance planning does pay off, though you can always hunt for a last-minute stay or a cancellation. And when you do score a room or rental, odds are you’ll earn rave reviews for your savvy trip-planning and crowd-pleasing destination pick. As Ferney said, “It offers the perfect combination of breathtaking scenery and outdoor adventure, making it an ideal getaway for everyone.” The Essential Guide to Visiting Lake Tahoe Read the original article in Travel & Leisure
  18. These Are the 10 Riskiest Countries for Solo Travelers, According to a New Global Safety Report Traveling to a new destination alone can be great for self-discovery, but it can also pose additional safety concerns. And some destinations are riskier for a solo jaunt than others. The country of Venezuela ranked as the riskiest destination for solo travelers, according to a new report from travel insurance firm Square Mouth. The South American country scored a risk index of 9.74 out of 10 with less than 10 percent of residents there reporting feeling safe walking alone at night. “These safety challenges, combined with limited healthcare access and infrastructure constraints, contribute to elevated risk levels for solo travelers,” the report noted.Venezuela is currently classified under a Level 3 travel advisory by the Department of State, recommending Americans “reconsider travel” there “due to [the] risk of crime, kidnapping, terrorism, and poor health infrastructure and natural disaster.” Additionally, some areas within the country are listed under the highest Level 4 warning, coming with a “do not travel” directive attached, including the border region with Colombia and several other states. Last month, the country was struck by a series of devastating earthquakes. Since then, the death toll has risen to more than 4,800 people, Reuters reported, with more than 16,000 people injured. The State Department noted the earthquakes have “caused extensive damage and disruption to transportation, infrastructure, and emergency services.”After Venezuela, the country of Peru ranked as the second-riskiest destination for solo travelers with a score of 8.87 out of 10. The report noted less than 25 percent of residents felt safe walking alone at night there, with nearly 60 percent expressing “concern about being attacked.” The African country of Gabon ranked third on the list, followed by Colombia in fourth place, and Bolivia in fifth place.Whether traveling alone or in a large group internationally, the State Department encourages all travelers to sign up for its Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). The free program provides automated safety alerts and travel information, and can even provide information regarding evacuations in an emergency. To come up with its report, Square Mouth analyzed crime, healthcare access, infrastructure quality, internet access, and more for 113 different countries, ranking each by the highest risk score. This is the full list of the top 10 riskiest destinations for solo travelers, and their risk scores out of 10. Venezuela, 9.74 Peru, 8.87 Gabon, 8.51 Colombia, 8.38 Bolivia, 8.37 Jamaica, 8.27 Guyana, 8.21 Ecuador, 8.12 Trinidad and Tobago, 8.11 South Africa, 8.04 Read the original article on Travel & Leisure
  19. Judge temporarily pauses Paramount’s Warner Bros. takeover District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín granted a temporary restraining order request by a coalition of 12 state attorneys general, led by California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta, to freeze the deal A federal judge has temporarily blocked Paramount Skydance's efforts to complete its purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery, ruling that the proposed merger "raises serious questions" about whether the blockbuster $111-billion deal violates U.S. antitrust law. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín, based in Oakland, on Monday granted a temporary restraining order request by a coalition of 12 state attorneys general, led by California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta, to freeze the deal while the court delves more closely into its impact on markets. The order pauses the deal for 14 days. "This is a critical first win in our case to ensure this megamerger never sees the light of day," Bonta said in a statement. “History tells the tale of what happens when a few people have great power over markets that are central to Americans' lives: fewer opportunities for more people." The ruling was anticipated — but it nonetheless dealt a blow to tech scion David Ellison's efforts to quickly finalize his massive acquisition, which has the support of President Trump. Ellison wants to complete the deal by September to avoid a higher payout to Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders. Because of the case's expedited status, the judge said she looked closely at only one of the three markets where the plaintiff states allege the merger could bring anticompetitive harms — wide-release Hollywood films. "Plaintiffs present compelling evidence that the combined firm resulting from the transaction will possess substantial market share in the wide-release theatrical distribution market," Martínez-Olguín wrote in her 10-page order. The order extends to all officers, attorneys, and "other persons who are in active concert or participation with Defendants," Martínez-Olguín wrote. A Paramount spokesperson was not immediately available for comment. The states and Paramount will collide in court again on Aug. 3, when the judge takes up the expected motion for a preliminary injunction — which could tie up the deal for months. The merger is far from dead, Emarketer senior analyst Ross Benes said in a statement. "The order is likely to be a speed bump," Benes wrote. "Thanks to the company's symbiotic relationship with Trump, most challenges ahead that could stop the deal will be steamrolled."

  21. Hempel said “If you stop producing beverages, dairy, or food for even just a few days, there are massive supply chain, retailer, inventory, and revenue disruptions.” For a manufacturing operation like Fairlife’s, getting back online isn’t as simple as flipping a switch. Shane Barney, chief information security officer at Keeper Security, explained the added complexity to Inc. “Production systems depend on specialized hardware and software that wasn’t built for today’s threat landscape,” he noted. Resuming operations safely means validating process integrity, not just IT systems.”
  22. A ransomware attack has curdled Coca-Cola’s dairy operations. In a disclosure filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission this week, the multinational giant said its Fairlife dairy company was hit by a ransomware attack, affecting its production systems and temporarily suspending Fairlife’s operations across the U.S.. The beverage company confirmed that the attack hit its Fairlife dairy subsidiary, forcing the beverage giant to shut down U.S. production operations for the foreseeable future. Since acquiring full ownership of Fairlife in 2020, Coca-Cola has seen substantial revenue gains from the brand. CEO James Quincey noted that Fairlife’s retail value grew from just $10 million in 2014 to nearly $4 billion last year. That growth is part of what makes it such an appealing target for hackers. “Food and beverage manufacturers are becoming some of the more attractive ransomware targets because they sit at the intersection of critical infrastructure and downstream impact,” Gabrielle Hempel, the division chief of cybersecurity education and awareness at the United States Coast.
