Tigers' 21-year-old McGonigle plays MLB All-Star Game at his hometown stadium

Kevin McGonigle, 21, of the Detroit Tigers and the favourite for AL Rookie of the Year, played in the MLB All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia — the same stadium where he used to watch games as a fan growing up. Born and raised in the Philadelphia area, the young infielder called the experience surreal. He is considered one of the brightest young talents in the American League this season.

Does McGonigle deserve the AL Rookie of the Year award this season?

Russia strikes Kyiv after Putin vows 'powerful' response

Russia launched a fresh wave of missile and drone attacks on Kyiv following Vladimir Putin's vow of a "powerful" response to Ukrainian actions. President Zelensky and allied leaders pledged to use the battle-tested Kyiv air defence system as a model for protecting Europe against Russian ballistic missiles. Ukraine and its partners see the defence of the capital as a blueprint for the continent's security.

Should Kyiv's air defence system become the standard for all of Europe?

Pistachio milk nails – soft pastel green is summer's biggest manicure trend

Pistachio milk nails are the latest nail trend featuring a very light, creamy, milky green inspired by pistachio drinks. The look fits the quiet luxury and clean girl aesthetics, favouring a soft, natural shade over bold colour statements. The hue is far from bottle green or neon — it is a gentle pigment softened by a white base, evoking a glass of pistachio milk.

Are pistachio milk nails worth trying this summer?

The US government transferred $297 million worth of seized Bitcoin and Ether to Coinbase Prime. The move has raised questions about President Trump's pledge to establish a Bitcoin reserve. However, deposits to Coinbase Prime do not in themselves confirm that a sale is imminent.

Should the US sell its seized crypto rather than hold it as a reserve?

Using pumice without soaking feet first makes cracked heels worse, not better

Using pumice without soaking feet first makes cracked heels worse, not better

Applying a pumice stone to dry feet without first soaking them causes the skin on heels to harden even more rather than soften. The critical step many people skip is soaking feet in warm water for several minutes before using the pumice, which softens the skin and prevents micro-abrasions. Regular moisturising after the treatment is equally important for lasting smooth skin.

2003's 'Cold Mountain' modernised The Odyssey 23 years before Nolan's film

Charles Frazier's 1997 novel "Cold Mountain" blended Homer's Odyssey with Civil War America, and director Anthony Minghella adapted it into an Oscar-winning film for Miramax in 2003. The film is being recalled as Christopher Nolan prepares his own Odyssey adaptation. It predates the better-remembered Coen Brothers film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" (2000) in drawing on the same ancient epic.

Is 'Cold Mountain' a better Odyssey adaptation than the Coen Brothers' 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?'

Earth's greatest mass extinction 252 million years ago wiped out 90% of species

The Great Permian Extinction, which occurred approximately 252 million years ago, wiped out nearly 90% of all species on Earth and is the largest mass extinction event in our planet's history. Scientists describe it as the death of "a world similar to our own" — rich in forests, life-filled oceans and complex ecosystems. The primary cause was massive volcanic eruptions in Siberia, which triggered rapid climate change and ocean acidification.

Could current human activity trigger a mass extinction comparable to the Permian one?

Australian government report finds AI has not yet caused mass layoffs

A first-of-its-kind Australian government report finds that AI has not yet caused broad disruption in the country's labour market. However, rising demand for AI is intensifying concerns about the future of white-collar jobs. Professor Toby Walsh of the University of New South Wales warns that Canberra must act now to mitigate AI's impact and prepare workers for coming changes.

Should governments already be regulating AI's impact on the labour market?
