Of the 3,952 people polled, 62 percent said they thought children should be wearing masks in schools when the new school year starts....

The pair of politically polar opposite governors fired off their dueling responses a day after DeSantis’ office confirmed Florida’s new “relocation” program had flown the migrants to the upscale vacation spot. Shrugging off critics who called the relocation cruel, DeSantis, a Republican, said Florida was sending migrants to a self-professed welcoming jurisdiction. But Newsom, a Democrat, reacted with disgust, calling for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate. Florida on Wednesday sent two planes of undocumented immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard, an island off Massachusetts that’s only accessible by boat or plane....

Over the course of the record 11-match run, Ronaldo netted an astonishing total of 17 goals, including five in three matches against Juventus. Goals from Marcelo and Marco Asensio were enough to push Madrid into a lead in the tie, but for Ronaldo it was the end of what could be viewed as a perfect season in the Champions League so far....

He has been Indian cricket’s new-age pillar, scoring heavily against all opponents irrespective of the conditions. Along with Kohli, he has been the mainstay of India’s batting. The team has heavily relied on him to give good starts to the team and also to bat through the innings. He is a combination of elegance, placement, and pure timing.

However, for a player of his class, the first six years of his international career were frustrating for him, the team, and the spectators, as the odd delightful innings was followed and preceded by plenty of failures....

As his series has introduced lots of people to the world of tabletop RPGs, Pauwels offers some advice for players about to step into their first game....
