Patton Oswalt says Donald Trump’s presidency is just too immature. “We see what’s going on with the world and with the presidency and with social relations in this country and wonder, ‘Can’t things be logical? Can’t adults be running things again?'” Oswalt told Vulture in an interview ahead of his”Annihilation” Netflix special which debuts on Tuesday. “It’s really scary when you’re a kid and the adults are acting like kids,” he continued. “Nothing is scarier for a kid than when adults are acting like little kids.

They say Kristen McLean has been booked into the Lea County Detention Center. It was unclear Monday if she has a lawyer yet.

California could use a concert hall like Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie. The signature structure of 21st century Germany features performance space for the philharmonic, a dramatically curved escalator, and a dozen public spaces for people to gather and enjoy city views. But what California needs more than this stunning new piece of architecture is the scandal that built it. Originally planned in 2007 as a 186 million-euro ($220 million) project, with 77 million euros ($91 million) from taxpayers... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — It was a faint signal, but it told of one of the most violent acts in the universe, and it would soon reveal secrets of the cosmos, including how gold was created. Astronomers around the world reacted to the signal quickly, focusing telescopes located on every continent and even in orbit to a distant spot in the sky. What they witnessed in mid-August and revealed Monday was the long-ago collision of two neutron stars — a phenomenon California Institute of Technology's David H. Reitze... Читать дальше...

Give this to Raiders officials: They pounced on NaVorro Bowman before he could ever get out of the Bay Area. Oakland signed Bowman, the former 49ers linebacker, to a one-year contract Monday, according to multiple reports. Bowman agreed to a $3 million salary, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported. Bowman, 29, fortifies a Raiders weakness at linebacker; they largely are unproven beyond veteran Bruce Irvin. Even if Bowman’s Achilles and knee injuries in recent years robbed him of speed...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is claiming his predecessors did not sufficiently honor the nation's fallen. His accusation that most presidents did not call families of military personnel killed in action is provoking a heated response. President Barack Obama, for one, visited the air base that often receives the remains of the dead. He wrote letters to military families, too. Obama's office says Trump is "unequivocally wrong," and says Obama engaged families of the fallen and wounded warriors through his presidency ... Читать дальше...

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — In a story Oct. 14 about leaking gas wells, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Kansas Gas Service owns the nearby Yaggy gas storage field.

A corrected version of the story is below: Gas leaking from Kansas wells amid dispute over who must fix Natural gas is leaking through unplugged abandoned wells that have penetrated a massive underground storage...

HONOLULU (AP) — A Honolulu Police Department officer and retired major arrested by the FBI over the weekend are expected to appear in federal court on Monday. The arrests Sunday of Officer Minh-Hung "Bobby" Nguyen and retired major Gordon Shiraishi are part of a federal corruption investigation that stemmed from the peculiar case of a mailbox former chief Louis Kealoha said was stolen from his home by his wife's uncle. Gerard Puana went to trial for the theft in 2014. The case abruptly ended in a mistrial... Читать дальше...

FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was captured and held by the Taliban for five years after walking away from his post in Afghanistan, pleaded guilty Monday to desertion and endangering his comrades — charges that could put him behind bars for the rest of his life. “I understand that leaving was against the law,” said Bergdahl, who admitted guilt without striking a deal with prosecutors, meaning his punishment will be up to a military judge when he is sentenced later this month.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A snapshot of crops across Kansas shows the pace of wheat planting lagging well behind normal for this late in the season. The National Agricultural Statistics Service reported Monday that just 42 percent of the next year's winter wheat crop has been planted. Normally by this time about 75 percent of the crop is seeded. Corn harvest is also slower than usual at just 54 percent of the crop in the bin. That is well behind the 73 percent average for this time of year. Also dragging... Читать дальше...

FITCHBURG, Mass. (AP) — A redesigned classroom means more than new desks for science instructor Dylan Hager, who directed the changes to his room at Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School this summer. It means the chance to add two new college-credit-eligible classes to the school's curriculum: Human Body Systems and Principals of Biomedical Science. "They're going to be very hands-on, project-based classes, so I specifically wanted the tables to have wheels so we can create different spaces very easily," he said. Читать дальше...

DETROIT (AP) — The Michigan family of a Marine recruit has filed a $100 million lawsuit alleging his fatal plunge in a stairwell was the result of negligence by officers and others.
