It’s a beloved trope of the romantic comedy — an irresponsible, irreverent and seemingly irredeemable man falls in love with a woman, setting him on the path to finally gets his act together. But in “No Hard Feelings,” which hits theaters Friday, director Gene Stupnitsky sought to subvert gender expectations, with Jennifer Lawrence instead playing his dirtbag protagonist. Lawrence, who's storied acting career had not yet included starring in a comedy, says she relished the “messy and chaotic” appeal of her character. Читать дальше...

A bridge that crosses Yellowstone River in Montana collapsed overnight, causing portions of a freight train to plunge into the water below. Montana rail officials said the train crew was safe and no injuries were reported. Numerous tank cars were partially submerged early Saturday. Railroad crews were at the scene near the town of Columbus, about 40 miles (about 64 kilometers) west of Billings. The river was swollen with recent heavy rains although it is unclear whether that contributed to the bridge collapse. Читать дальше...

The American Library Association's annual conference is underway in Chicago, where librarians are discussing topics including countering book challenges, fighting legislative censorship, and ensuring information access and the freedom to read. Authors, scholars and librarians have gathered as several states push to restrict access to books in schools and libraries — overwhelmingly those about race, ethnicity and LGBTQ+ topics.

Conservatives in Congress are anxious to counter China, which is America’s leading economic adversary. And they've set their sights on a top trade priority for labor unions and progressives. The focus is on the deluge of duty-free packages coming in from China. Currently, most imports valued at less than $800 enter duty-free into the United States as long as they're packaged and addressed to individual buyers. Efforts to lower the threshold amount or exclude certain countries altogether from duty-free... Читать дальше...

Recent high-profile mass shootings by young people underscore the deadly mix of teenage bravado, immaturity and growing access to high-powered guns that can kill faster and more efficiently than ever. Teens are among the suspects in a recent shooting at a Sweet 16 party in Alabama that killed four. A former Chicago gang leader who now works to defuse conflicts, Rodney Phillips, says reaching for a gun is often the default for teens as quick to take offence as to pull a trigger. More powerful guns became more available starting in the 1980s... Читать дальше...

Following the new can be relentlessly depressing, so much that some people use that as an excuse for avoiding it. To combat that feeling, there's been a growth in the idea of “solutions journalism,” or stories that emphasize efforts being made to solve some of society's problems. For the past year CBS News has been training journalists at its locally-owned stations to look for these kinds of stories. Network news chief Wendy McMahon says it's time to look beyond what is happening to figuring out ways to help. Читать дальше...

Activists and politicians are lauding and bashing the Supreme Court ruling one year ago that led to massive changes in abortion access and law across the U.S. After years of calling for change, it's now anti-abortion groups who are praising the status quo, saying the end of Roe v. Wade has “saved countless lives.” Some are calling for nationwide restrictions. Most GOP-controlled states have already imposed bans, including 14 at every stage of pregnancy. President Joe Biden and other abortion rights... Читать дальше...

Three San Antonio police officers have been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of a woman who the police chief says was experiencing a “mental health crisis.” Police Chief William McManus said Friday that Sgt.

The wrecks of the Titanic and the Titan sit on the ocean floor, separated by 1,600 feet and 111 years of history. How they came together unfolded over an intense week that raised temporary hopes and left lingering questions.

Over the next few days, an international array of aircraft, ships and other resources arrived and scoured thousands of square miles. Noises detected by sonar Tuesday... Читать дальше...

The windfall of donations that abortion access groups received following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade one year ago hasn't lasted. Reproductive health organizations and advocacy groups say one-time emergency grants have ended and individual and foundation giving has dropped off this year.

Airlines are facing increasing pressure to cut their climate-changing emissions. That made sustainable aviation fuel a hot topic this week at the Paris Air Show, a major industry event. Sustainable fuel made from food waste or plant material is aviation's best hope for reducing emissions in the next couple of decades. The industry is counting on sustainable fuel to contribute heavily to its goal of reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050. But critics say airlines are greenwashing by taking credit...

The concept of gender-fluidity -- or “mahu” -- has existed in Hawaii for hundreds of years and is the hallmark of a culture that allows space between the concepts of male and female. Now, as anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric inflames the country, Native Hawaiians are reminding modern generations of the respected place gender-fluidity holds in their culture while also making a foray into the national conversation about transgender rights. To raise awareness, Native Hawaiian drag queens performed in Las Vegas on... Читать дальше...

Talk to someone who went on previous trips on the Titan submersible and they’re likely to mention a technology glitch. The propulsion system failed or the communications with people on the surface cut out. They are also likely to mention Stockton Rush. He's the OceanGate Expeditions CEO who died this week on the sub. Rush has been described as both a meticulous planner and an overconfident pioneer. In the wake of the Titan’s fatal implosion Sunday near the Titanic shipwreck, some passengers from...

Goldfarb ripped two-run blasts to right field in the second and sixth innings to double his season output to four homers.

Authorities from the U.S. and Canada have begun the process of investigating the cause of the fatal Titan submersible implosion even as they grapple with questions of who will be responsible for determining how the tragedy unfolded. The U.S. Coast Guard said Friday a formal inquiry has not yet been launched because maritime agencies are still busy searching the area where the vessel fell apart. It was not entirely clear who would have the authority to lead what is sure to be a complex investigation involving several countries. Читать дальше...

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained left hamstring strain. The move is retroactive to Thursday. Yastrzemski left Wednesday’s game against San Diego with left hamstring tightness but had been expected to return within a couple of days after an MRI showed minor inflammation.

The Titan submersible suffered a catastrophic implosion that experts say likely killed its pilot and four passengers instantly amid intense pressure in the North Atlantic’s deep waters. Maritime researchers called an implosion the worst possible outcome of all the scenarios envisioned during the desperate round-the-clock search to find the missing vessel. Experts had cautioned that under intense pressure at extreme depths the Titan’s hull could implode, which would result in instant death for anyone aboard the vessel. Читать дальше...

New York City officials said they would renew efforts to crack down on unsafe e-bike shops following a spate of deadly fires caused by lithium ion batteries.
