This summer, climbing in Pakistan is more focused on alpinists attempting new routes on lesser peaks than on the 8,000’ers. Two Japanese have joined the Italians on K7, and a strong Czech team approaches its preliminary goal. Storm foils Italians at 6,000m Matteo della Bordella, Mirco Grasso, Luca Ducoli, and Giacomo Mauri climbed up to 6,000m on a completely new route on the southeast face of K7, before a storm pushed them back to Base Camp. Della Bordella described the mixed terrain as completely vertical. “It’s a huge dream, but we feel we’re touching it with our fingertips,” he wrote. The climbers are using capsule style — a style in Himalayan climbing where climbers rappel down to portaledges at the end of the day, then jumar up fixed ropes the following morning to where they left off. Della Bordella told Lo Scarpone CAI (the news bulletin by the Italian Alpine Club) that they need at least four days of good weather to summit. They planned to remain in Pakistan until July 6, but might be able to extend their stay for another week.

The last time I saw my son alive, nothing felt unusual. There was no warning, no flashing signals that something was wrong. Like so many parents, I believed the biggest risks to my child were the ones I could see — driving, drugs on the street and strangers in the physical world. I did what parents are taught to do: I stayed involved, asked questions and set boundaries. But the danger that took my son didn’t come from the outside world I understood. It came through an app, a system designed to connect instantly, privately and without friction, a system I could neither see nor control. Through Snapchat, a drug dealer reached out to Sammy and delivered a counterfeit drug to our home, like a pizza, after we were asleep. It contained a lethal dose of fentanyl. Every day in California, families are confronting a dangerous reality. Social media platforms are placing powerful, rapid and often anonymous communication tools directly into the hands of young teenagers. While those tools can be used for connection, they can also expose kids to risks they are not developmentally ready to navigate. Lawmakers are considering a bill that would prohibit children under 16 from

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — A slice of golf history merges with a piece of American history whenever the U.S. Open returns to one of its most storied landscapes, Shinnecock Hills. The golf course, a links-style masterpiece that was one of the USGA's five founding clubs in the 1890s, lies across ancient burial grounds that once belonged to the Shinnecock Nation, whose own people built the course. On Thursday, 156 players from around the world will tee it up for the sixth U.S. Open held on the site. Among those playing back in 1896 — the first time the USGA brought the Open to the outer reaches of Long Island — was John Shippen, the African-American golf teacher and club maker at the club who, as a 16-year-old, joined Shinnecock tribe member Oscar Bunn on the tee sheet. Shippen was the first Black player to play in the U.S. Open; he and Bunn are believed to be the first two American-born players to play in America's national championship.  » Read More

Crime & Law Chicago police Officer Ella French (@TomAhernCPD / Twitter) Body camera footage showing the fatal shooting of Chicago police Officer Ella French was released Wednesday, nearly five years after she was killed during a traffic stop in the Englewood neighborhood. The Civilian Office of Police Accountability published the videos Wednesday as part of a Freedom of Information Act request. A court order stemming from the criminal cases filed against the convicted shooter, Emonte Morgan, and his brother Eric had prevented the release of that footage, but with those cases concluded, that order is no longer in effect. COPA Chief Administrator LaKenya White said her agency was now publishing the video “in keeping with our commitment to transparency and public accountability.” “As we do so, it is important to remember that this video captures a profoundly tragic event,” White said in a statement. “Our thoughts remain with Officer Ella French and Officer Carlos Yanez Jr., their loved ones, colleagues, and all those whose lives were forever changed by this incident.” The footage was previously shown to jurors who later convicted Emonte Morgan on first-degree murder charges during his 2024 trial, but had remained out of public viewing until Wednesday.

Jelly Roll has officially removed any mention of his estranged wife Bunnie Xo from his Instagram bio. Eagle-eyed fans noticed the country crooner’s subtle social media edit as the longtime couple prepares to officially move forward following news of his divorce filing. His profile previously showed a lock and key emoji along with Bunnie Xo’s Instagram username @xomgitsbunnie. Jelly Roll (real name Jason DeFord) now only has “Music Man” written above a link with tickets to his recent concerts. Jelly Roll/Instagram Jelly Roll, 41, notably has the phrase “Music Man” tattooed across his forehead, an homage to his now-ex, 46, (real name Alisa DeFord), who got a similar tat on her leg. “My wife has ‘Married a music man’ tattooed on her leg from the Elton John lyric,” he said during an interview with GQ in March 2024, referencing the hitmaker’s song “Tiny Dancer.” Speaking about his extensive tattoo collection, Jelly Roll added, “I realized that almost all of my tattoos represent who I was, none of them represent who I am. And quite a few years ago, I looked at my wife, and I said, ‘I don’t want to be bound to these old tattoos anymore. I want them

Following the 2020 accidental overdose of her daughter, Colorado’s Patti Lujan is still pursuing a lawsuit against Snapchat, the social media platform she claims connected her daughter with a drug dealer, police said. Lujan, like many parents, is looking for more social media protections for juveniles through increased regulation. Lujan’s “lawsuit alleges that Snapchat’s platform ‘purposefully obstructs parental supervision’ and ‘enables (drug) dealers to locate and access nearby minors and young adults,'” according to a news release. The mother believes that Snapchat protects drug dealers by not identifying and removing them from the app, and she called for protective measures to be put in place for minors, according to a Colorado Community Media story. All around the country, legislators are making efforts to put regulations and protections on social media platforms for minors. Concerned parents and legislators claim the platforms pose mental health and safety risks for developing youth. Just one Colorado bill relevant to youth on social media became law this year. SB26-011, “Search Warrants Provided to Covered Platforms,” requires that operators of covered platforms provide a system, such as a staffed hotline, for law enforcement to contact them with search warrants for user data at all times.
