The National Park Service (NPS) scrapped a reference to abolitionist Harriet Tubman from its webpage dedicated to the Underground Railroad, The Hill reported. Tubman’s image had been a prominent feature on the page for years. “The Underground Railroad — the resistance to enslavement through escape and flight, through the end of the Civil War — refers to the efforts of enslaved African Americans to gain their freedom by escaping bondage,” the page initially read. Tubman, born into slavery in Maryland, escaped in 1849 and later made numerous trips back to the Eastern Shore to help others find freedom, earning her the title of one of the most famous conductors of the Underground Railroad. The webpage has now been updated, with the prominent photo of Tubman replaced by commemorative postal stamps featuring those who escaped slavery or assisted others. Tubman’s stamp remains part of this new display. However, the introduction of the page now describes the Underground Railroad as “one of the most significant expressions of the American civil rights movement” and emphasizes its role in “bridging divides of race.” Also, the phrase “enslaved African Americans” has been changed to “enslaved workers.”

As per usual, Jack Schlossberg used his social media accounts to troll his followers on Sunday—this time his focus was on the vice president’s wife. In an April 6 post on X, the 32-year-old grandson of John F. Kennedy cheekily announced he is having a baby with Usha Vance. “I’m having a son !! So excited about this,” he wrote. “Cannot wait for the birth of my next child because today was the best day of my life. Out of wedlock , yes. But we might get married.” Briefly after this, he took his joke further on Instagram by posting a picture of JD Vance’s wife seemingly holding a baby with his face roughly cropped over the child’s. “Little Jason and his mom—You never feel like you’re ready to be a parent. Until one day, you become one,” he wrote in the post’s caption. Schlossberg is known for testing the boundaries by posting outlandish perspectives on purpose to make a point on the current state of news and media. He later posted a screengrab of People’s initial reporting of his tweet and wrote in his Instagram post: “The joke is that I’m capable of producing a male heir.”

With so many different sleep remedies on the market, it’s hard to distinguish which ones (if any) actually work. If you’ve had little to no luck with other natural and over-the-counter sleep aids, consider giving Deeps Sleep Patches a try. The scientist-formulated patches are designed to be placed on your wrist before you get ready to go to sleep and be forgotten about from there.
The patches are infused with several calming ingredients, including Shoden ashwagandha and melatonin, formulated to help improve sleep quality, reduce stress, and regulate the body’s natural circadian rhythm. Once the patch is placed on your wrist, the active layer slowly releases the Deeps formula into your body through your skin. Deeps Sleep Patches have proven to me that it doesn’t always require taking heavy medication like sleeping pills to get a good night’s sleep (for me). Read my full review of Deeps Sleep Patches here.

Ryan Adams Has ‘Epileptic Seizure’ After Fans Refuse to Stop Using Flash Photography During Show

Ryan Adams stormed off stage halfway through a chaotic show in Belfast on Saturday, after a fan’s refusal to stop using flash photography allegedly caused him to have an epileptic seizure. The alt-country star, who has epilepsy, had repeatedly asked audience members not to use flashes, and had placed numerous signs around the auditorium saying the same thing. But when audience members continued to ignore his pleas, an enraged Adams shouted: “Stop f—ing flashing, I warned you. You could kill me. I have epilepsy and Meniere’s disease. F— you, I’m not coming back until you stop flashing,” before throwing his microphone stand to the ground and leaving the stage. Adams returned to the stage nearly half an hour later, and told the crowd he had suffered an “epileptic seizure” backstage. He then continued the rest of the set, which involved several strained interactions with audience members. Towards the end of the show, another fan alleged that a nearby group “actively tried to use flash photography to cause another seizure”. A venue spokesperson said: “Ahead of last night’s performance, the artist’s team requested that flash photography should not be used during the show. This was clearly communicated in advance via signage throughout the venue. The content and delivery of performances are the responsibility of artists.”
It’s hard to know where to start with tonight’s Ryan Adams show at the Waterfront.

Blondie drummer Clem Burke has died aged 70 following a private battle with cancer. Burke, from Bayonne, New Jersey, started drumming in the 1960s. He joined Blondie in 1975 and led the group to multiple hits including Plastic Letters and Denis. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. “It is with profound sadness that we relay news of the passing of our beloved friend and bandmate Clem Burke,” a statement from the band said. “Clem was not just a drummer; he was the heartbeat of Blondie. His talent, energy, and passion for music were unmatched, and his contributions to our sound and success are immeasurable. Beyond his musicianship, Clem was a source of inspiration both on and off the stage. His vibrant spirit, infectious enthusiasm and rock solid work ethic touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Clem’s influence extended far beyond Blondie. His influence and contributions have spanned decades and genres, leaving an indelible mark on every project he was a part of.” Burke also played drums for the Ramones for a brief time in 1987, under the name Elvis Ramone.

Watch Boris Johnson Get Attacked by an Ostrich: ‘Oh Cripes, F***ing Hell!’

Boris Johnson was attacked by an ostrich during a vacation with his wife and three kids in Texas. According to a video shared by the former prime minister’s wife Carrie, it happened while they were driving through a safari park where visitors can feed the animals. Johnson, 60, was sitting in the driver’s seat apparently about to feed the ostrich when the bird leaned its head in the car window and pecked his hand. “Oh cripes, f—ing hell!” he exclaimed as he jerked away. The rest of the family can be heard laughing. The couple share Wilfred, 4, Romy, 3, and Frank, 1. Other photos in Carrie’s Instagram stories show the family feeding deer and goats out the car windows. “Was all going so well…” she captioned the ostrich video before adding it to her grid.
A 2,000-Year-Old Gladiator Tomb Has Been Found in Italy
OPRINTENDENZA ARCHEOLOGIA BELLE ARTI E PAESAGGIO PER L’AREA METROPOLITANA DI NAPOLI
A 2,000-year-old gladiator tomb has been discovered in a necropolis outside of Naples, Italy. Archaeologists excavating the ancient city of Liternum, in present-day Giugliano in Campania, discovered a cemetery with about 20 graves, according to the regional ministry for archaeology, fine arts and landscape. One of the tombs bears the epitaph of a gladiator carved into a piece of marble. The inscription is a “precious document for understanding the role and memory of these fighters in Roman society,” the ministry said in a statement. Although there were some female gladiators, the tomb appeared to belong to a man. His identity, age and cause of death were not immediately clear. Gladiator battles sometimes went to the death, but more often a heavily wounded fighter would surrender. Thousands of people competed in the public battles starting in about the 3rd century BCE. The Liternum gladiator was buried in a deep rectangular pit carved out of stone, suggesting a link with religious cult practices. There’s evidence gladiator blood was used in religious rituals and was believed to cure serious diseases.
Trump Puzzled Why People Aren’t Calling His Tariffs a ‘Very Beautiful Thing’

President Donald Trump appears to have forgotten that beauty is in the eye of the beholder—and is wondering why nobody else is describing his tariffs as a “very beautiful thing.” Trump imposed wide-ranging tariffs on global trading partners last week. The tariffs, described as reciprocal but which were in fact calculated according to the trade gap with various countries, saw markets plunge last week, with U.S. stock futures marked down again after further carnage on Asian and European markets on Monday. Writing on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump claimed Sunday night the measures are “now bringing Tens of Billions of Dollars into the U.S.A.” He said the “problem” of “massive Financial Deficits with China, the European Union, and many others” could only “be cured with TARIFFS.” The president also described the measures as a remedy late on Sunday, saying that “sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something.” He wrote: “They [the tariffs] are already in effect, and a beautiful thing to behold. The Surplus with these Countries has grown during the ‘Presidency’ of Sleepy Joe Biden. We are going to reverse it, and reverse it QUICKLY. Some day people will realize that Tariffs, for the United States of America, are a very beautiful thing!”
Passenger Busted Over Attempts to Open Emergency Doors During Flight

A passenger has been charged with endangering the safety of an aircraft and assaulting a member of the cabin crew after attempting to open emergency doors during a flight. Shadi Taiseer Alsaaydeh tried to open the rear emergency doors on an AirAsia X flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Sydney, Australia, on Saturday. The 46-year-old, reported to be a Jordanian government official, was escorted to a seat in the middle of the aircraft where he allegedly attempted to open a second set of emergency doors. Staff and passengers sought to restrain Alsaaydeh leading to a scuffle in which he allegedly choked one of the cabin crew. Australian Federal Police officers met the plane on arrival at Sydney Airport and arrested Alsaaydeh. He was charged in Parramatta Local Court on Sunday with two counts of endangering the aircraft and one count of assault—each offence carrying a maximum sentence of 10 years. The police commander at the airport, Davina Copelin, said: “The actions of this man could have had tragic consequences, and passengers and airplane staff shouldn’t have to put up with unruly, violent, or dangerous behaviour on flights.”

Trump May Deport Duke Basketball Star After Brutal March Madness Loss

Duke basketball star Khaman Maluach is having a rough weekend. Just hours before his team lost a brutal Final Four matchup to the Houston Cougars, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that he would be revoking U.S. visas for all South Sudanese passport holders—a number that Maluach is counted in. The 7-foot-2 center spent much of his childhood in Uganda after his family fled war-torn South Sudan, though he played for the country’s Olympic team last summer. A spokesperson for Duke said the school was “aware of the announcement” and promised that it was looking into the situation and working expeditiously to understand any implications for Duke students.” Maluach’s second heartbreak came when the Blue Devils blew a late lead to Houston in Saturday’s March Madness matchup, ultimately losing the game 70-67. The Cougars now proceed to the NCAA national championship game Monday, where they will face off against the Florida Gators.

Former child star Jay North, who starred as the titular character in the 1959 series Dennis the Menace, died Sunday after a long battle with cancer, according to a longtime friend of the actor. He was 73. Hollywood producer and writer Laurie Jacobson made the announcement Sunday on Facebook, writing: “Our dear friend JAY NORTH has been fighting cancer for a number of years and this morning at noon EST, Jay passed peacefully at home … He is out of pain now. His suffering is over. At last he is at peace.” She added: “As many of his fans know, he had a difficult journey in Hollywood and after…but he did not let it define his life.” He was open about the abuse he suffered during his acting career—which he walked away from later in life. North claimed his aunt, who was his “studio guardian” hit and verbally abused him. He later mentored other child stars through an advocacy group called A Minor Consideration.
