The Pentagon has fired the publisher and the editor of Stars and Stripes, the US military news outlet that has clashed with the Trump administration and armed forces brass over its partly taxpayer-funded reporting.
Publisher Max Lederer and editor Erik Slavin received termination notices, CBS News reported on Friday. The cause cited was insubordination, and they have been given five days to appeal against their dismissals.

Pull. Breathe. Kick. Glide. Three decades since my last swimming lesson, I found myself sitting in a lecture theatre chanting these words with a few dozen strangers, all of us trying not to take anyone’s eye out as we matched them to the actions.
Pull. Breathe. Kick. Glide. I’ve been to enough Edinburgh fringe shows to inure myself to the embarrassment of audience participation. And, to be honest, this one was a pretty euphoric communal experience. It turns out you don’t need to be near water to marvel at a swimming feat, especially one that’s more than 150 years old.

Look, we all want Brooke Shields to be in gainful employment. We all want her to have a fabulous third act to her career. God knows, the child model turned star of prurient fever dreams Pretty Baby and The Blue Lagoon (and the “Nothing comes between me and my Calvins” jeans ad campaign when she was 15) has earned it. Plus, she did a fine turn in Friends and a number of us remember Suddenly Susan very fondly.
But she’s terrible in the terrible new thing she’s in, which is a six-part comedy drama called You’re Killing Me. Shields plays successful cosy mystery novelist Allison Chandler, who lives in the picturesque town of Founder’s Cove, Maine. It’s Murder, She Wrote vibes all right, but please lower your expectations.

Lindsay Clancy’s defense in her murder trial rested on Friday after calling witnesses to testify about the ailing mother’s mental state and attempts to seek help before she killed her young children.
The defense wrapped more quickly than some expected given that the prosecution rested their case on Monday.

Sargassum is a brown seaweed that causes lower oxygen levels and foul-smelling gases when it decomposes on beaches.

Linus Torvalds says AI "enormously helped" him track down a stubborn Intel Xe graphics driver bug that took 24 debugging patches and 18 kernel boots to isolate. "I'd like to call it my tireless helper, but the AI several times stated flat out that this was impossible and unsolvable and that we should just write a report about it," wrote Torvalds on the commit. "I suspect those things have been trained by people who may not be quite as stubborn as I am..." Phoronix reports: The patch by Linus Torvalds is for the Xe kernel driver and the change is no longer hand out the flat Compute Command Streamer (CCS) storage as usable vRAM. On a Battlemage G21 graphics card, he was hitting a scenario where there was a mismatch where the usable memory ended and hit a case where the GDM display manager would end up being endlessly restarted. [...]
Linus Torvalds views AI as a useful tool and in this case reaffirmed he found it "enormously helped" his effort in tracking down this Intel graphics driver bug. The Intel Xe driver fix is merged to Linux 7.3 Git and is also marked to back-porting to the stable kernel branches.

LAUSANNE (ANP) - Femke Broeders-Bol heeft bij de Diamond League-wedstrijd in Lausanne het Nederlands record op de 800 meter verbeterd. De 26-jarige Nederlandse atlete kwam tot een tijd van 1.55,41.
Sinds vorige week vrijdag was Broeders-Bol al gedeeld recordhoudster, toen ze bij de EK in Birmingham 1.55,54 noteerde en daarmee brons behaalde. Broeders-Bol evenaarde toen de Nederlandse recordtijd waarmee Ellen van Langen op de Olympische Spelen van Barcelona in 1992 historisch goud won.
In Lausanne ging de zege naar de Zwitserse Audrey Werro in 1.55,33. De derde plaats was voor de Ethiopische Saida Tsehaye (1.56,92).
Broeders-Bol maakte vorig najaar na haar tweede wereldtitel op de 400 meter horden in Tokio haar opmerkelijke keuze bekend om voortaan op de 800 meter uit te komen. Het grote doel is olympisch goud op de Spelen van 2028 in Los Angeles.
AMSTELVEEN (ANP) - Frédérique Matla is blij dat ze van waarde kan zijn voor het Nederlands team. De 29-jarige hockeyster zorgde uit een strafcorner voor de 2-0 tegen India, waarmee Oranje op het WK met nog een groepswedstrijd te gaan al een plek in de halve finale heeft zekergesteld. "Het is lekker dat je je beste bal kan pushen, als je de kans krijgt. Dat is fijn voor mezelf en voor het team. Maar ik juich harder voor anderen dan voor mezelf."
Matla heeft al twee olympische titels, twee wereldtitels en vijf Europese titels behaald met Oranje. Ze denkt vooral in het teambelang. "Natuurlijk is het fijn om te scoren. Er is een tijd geweest dat ik daar heel erg mee bezig was, maar uiteindelijk staat het team voorop en ben ik niet bezig met mijn eigen goals."
De ervaren hockeyster erkent dat Oranje nog wel vaker uit veldgoals kan scoren. "Ik denk dat dat een punt van verbetering is. In de cirkel zijn we niet dodelijk of scherp genoeg. Waarom weet ik niet zo goed. Ik denk dat we er allemaal goed in zitten en de sfeer in het team is goed. Wat dat betreft is er geen reden om ze niet te maken."
