One man is dead after a driver overturned his golf cart during a drunken joy ride this morning in Chester Township, Ohio.

According to WOIO, the Ohio Highway State Patrol said the crash occurred at 1:14 a.m. after 42-year-old Craig L. Franks drove his E-Z Go Golf Cart over an embankment, causing it to overturn. Robert M. Moore, 49, was in the front passenger seat and Vicky L. White, 47, was sitting in the back at the time of the crash.

Moore reportedly suffered serious injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Franks and White suffered non life-threatening injuries and were taken to a local hospital. From WOIO:

Franks was charged with OVI, unsafe speed for conditions and for failure to maintain reasonable control. He also faces additional charges pending the outcome of the blood alcohol test.

The crash is still under investigation.

The deaths of Eric Garner, who was put in a chokehold by an NYPD officer in July, and Ronald Singleton, who died in custody four days prior, have now both been ruled homicides by the New York City Medical Examiner. Garner's death was ruled a homicide in the beginning of August.

In a statement released by the Medical Examiner on Friday, it said that Ronald Singleton, a 45-year-old black man who had been reportedly high on PCP when he was alerted to police by a taxi driver, was put into a forcible restraint by the NYPD on July 13. Singleton had been acting erratically when the police came to the scene.

Via CNN:

Singleton, who was African-American, was taken into police custody after a yellow cab driver flagged down a police officer near St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan, police said in a statement. The cab driver claimed the passenger was "acting overly irate and irrational, cursing and screaming and causing alarm," according to the statement.

Singleton got out of the taxi and "became combative with the officer, trying to fight with him," the police statement said.

Emergency officials put Singleton in a protective body wrap as he was on his way to the hospital, at which point he suffered a heart attack, and was dead on arrival at Roosevelt Hospital. The medical examiner noted that Singleton's obesity as well as hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease could have contributed to his death. The ruling was ultimately that his death was a homicide.

From the New York Times:

In declaring the manner of death a homicide, the medical examiner's office is not suggesting a crime was committed, but is stating its conclusion that the intervention of the police played a role in the death.

Both the death of Eric Garner and Ronald Singleton are under investigation. Though no disciplinary action has been taken against police officers involved in the death of Ronald Singleton, "the Staten Island district attorney, Daniel M. Donovan Jr., has said he would call a special grand jury that could bring charges against the officer who dragged Mr. Garner to the ground," the New York Times reports.

NFL teams had to cut rosters down to 53 players by 4 p.m. today, and all eyes were on the Rams to see if they'd keep seventh-round pick Michael Sam. Unfortunately, Sam was cut by St. Louis, although he is still eligible for the team's practice squad, and can be claimed on waivers by another team.

It will be pretty easy for the Rams to show Sam's cut was a football decision. They already had a deep defensive line to begin with, and undrafted free agent defensive end Ethan Westbrooks arguably outplayed Sam during the preseason. Sam was one of the last five players to be cut, as the Rams' roster was at 58 players as of Saturday morning.

Words sustain us. In the weeks following the death of Michael Brown—the unarmed 18-year-old fatally shot by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson—there has been much written about Brown's life, the love he had for his family and friends, his affinity for rap music, and the racial tensions that plague the small St. Louis suburb. Daily dispatches from reporters like Wesley Lowery, Julie Bosman, Tyrmaine Lee, and Ryan J. Reilly, among others (not too mention Alderman Antonio French's real-time tweets) provided a ground-level view into what had been described as a warzone.

But beyond the daily reporting there has been a select batch of writings about both Brown and Ferguson that have unpeeled deeper truths and supplied greater clarity concerning the state of America's racial present. The following stories serve as a reading list of sorts, each with different agendas, though they share one common thread: the measure of one person's life should never be determined by the color of their skin.

"Silence Is Not An Option" by Roxane Gay

It should not matter if Mike Brown was a good boy but I have no doubt that he was. His life mattered, no matter how he chose to live it. He had family and friends who must mourn him and who must now worry about who will be murdered next. Every life matters. There are few things I believe more passionately. Unfortunately, we live in a country where your worth and safety are largely determined by the color of your skin.

Yesterday, a young black man was murdered in Ferguson, Missouri. Every day, this happens. This is the value of black life. We are targets. Our children are targets. This is the scarred reality in which we must raise our children.

"Elegies for Mercy: Michael Brown and Ferguson, Mo." by Josie Duffy

Here he is. Kneeling. Hands up. More bullets greet him.

If they want you, they will get you. It is not enough to surrender. This is not that kind of war.

Elegies for boys who never thought they'd be household names. Who valued the simple dignity of a humble existence. Elegies for the unarmed. For men whose last moments were filled with panic, desperation, for boys who cried out for their mother. A child starts running in fear in Sanford; a man crying "I can't breathe!" on the sidewalk pavement in Queens; shot in the back while handcuffed and kneeling in an Oakland subway station—"I have a four year old daughter" were his last words. Plainclothed and shot by two of his own in Harlem; seventy-years-old and shot in his kitchen by an officer who calls him a nigger; shot in San Clemente, his daughters watching from the car window; soaking wet, begging for help in North Carolina and shot ten times; shot in Wal-Mart for holding a toy gun; shot, cornered and unarmed, in his Bronx apartment bathroom; shot in Ferguson Missouri, from thirty-five feet away, the August sun on his face, fear lodged under his sternum, his hands in the air.

"The Front Lines of Ferguson" by Rembert Browne

When you make that long walk down West Florissant, eventually you get to the top of a hill. I don't know what's usually on the horizon, but on Wednesday it was the faint glimmer of police lights. Even in the light of day, the sight was ominous. Because there was already a feeling that beyond those lights sat a battlefield.

When I showed up, it was anything but. The police had blocked car traffic, giving pedestrians an "enter at your own risk" look as they moved forward. I expected to walk in and see protesters and police officers inches away from each other's faces, screaming. Instead I heard gospel music blaring from a flatbed truck. This wasn't war. This was a post-funeral barbecue … that just happened to have tanks and a small army standing before it.

"Ferguson on Fire" by Jamilah Lemieux

I went to bear witness. I needed to see it all for my own eyes.

It cut me to my core to see the heartbreak in the faces of older women handing out lovingly prepared peanut butter sandwiches because, "Y'all better eat something." There is a choking sadness in the sight of toddlers holding signs begging for the ability to grow up. Walking down the street where the manchild known as "Mike Mike" took his last, terrified steps, and seeing the place where he lay bleeding for hours like roadkill burned as much as the teargas we ingested for the simple crime of giving a f*ck.

"America Is Not For Black People" by Greg Howard

By all accounts, Brown was One Of The Good Ones. But laying all this out, explaining all the ways in which he didn't deserve to die like a dog in the street, is in itself disgraceful. Arguing whether Brown was a good kid or not is functionally arguing over whether he specifically deserved to die, a way of acknowledging that some black men ought to be executed.

To even acknowledge this line of debate is to start a larger argument about the worth, the very personhood, of a black man in America. It's to engage in a cost-benefit analysis, weigh probabilities, and gauge the precise odds that Brown's life was worth nothing against the threat he posed to the life of the man who killed him. It's to deny that there are structural reasons why Brown was shot dead while James Eagan Holmes—who on July 20, 2012, walked into a movie theater and fired rounds into an audience, killing 12 and wounding 70 more—was taken alive.

"This Is Why We're Mad About the Shooting of Mike Brown" by Kara Brown

We shouldn't have to explain that the punishment for even the most heinous crimes in our country is not a public execution without a trial.

We shouldn't have to explain why we don't trust cops when a number of eyewitnesses tell a consistent and vastly different story than that of the police officer who murdered Mike Brown.

We shouldn't have to explain why we fight back when we are attacked.

We shouldn't have to explain why we deserve the same protections and rights afforded to every other citizen of America.

But maybe you can help with some other questions I have, because I am at a loss.

"In Ferguson, Mo., A City Meets the Spotlight" by Gene Demby

Everyone on Canfield is exceedingly friendly. But people say the vibe in Ferguson changes completely after dark now, when the police are out in more force, and tensions start to flare up. Bishop V-Luv tells me that after those standoffs between the police and the people who are out marching, the folks in the neighborhood clean up the next morning.

"Eventually the television cameras and news reporters left Dallas and New Orleans," thePost-Dispatch editorial says. "They will leave St. Louis, too, along with the visiting civil rights firemen, the outside hell-raisers and the self-anointed experts. The ubiquitous #Ferguson hashtag will fade. We will be left to work this out on our own."

"#Ferguson: An American Apartheid" by Goldie Taylor

The death of 18-year-old Michael Brown has ripped proverbial scabs off of a myriad of festering sores. While the facts of the case deserve unbiased and transparent investigative scrutiny and all the rigorous questioning that can be mustered in the confines of a courtroom, what is happening in my hometown is larger than that and reaches back and through a troubled history that began to unfold long before he was born. To witness and participate in collective acts sparked by Brown's death, in St. Louis, on social media and around the country is as much about his life before his was shot six times and left lying in the street as it is about how politicians and law enforcement—from the White House to Jefferson City to Ferguson City Hall– have responded. It spans well beyond what police have deemed a "clean shoot" and the many ways they have sought to sway public opinion. There can be no perfect martyr in our quest for justice and we should not ask that of Brown.

"Michael Brown: 5.20.96 - 08.09.14" by Cord Jefferson

At the heart of the protests for Michael Brown, if all the sadness and anger and frustration may be distilled down to one thing, there seems to be a demand that the police force responsible for Brown's death acknowledge his basic humanity. Because that's what he was before all of this—a human being. A young man who was loved and who loved in return. A young man who will be missed by his heartsick mother and father. Michael Brown is now different things to different people, but we should never forget that he was a person above all else. A person who was probably taught that one of our nation's greatest virtues is the unwavering and "inalienable" right to life her citizens have just by nature of being human beings. And yet I've never seen that to be true. Michael Brown never saw that to be true.

"Stay Here" by Stacia L. Brown

Stay here. Do whatever you can. Duck. Chant. Sob. Rail. But stay. The rest of us are running to and fro in your stead, spreading your words, your footage, your fears, your demands for a demilitarized, diverse police department. We are trying to make the world around you understand how wrong it is for police from multiple counties to bring in heavy artillery on ground and heavy surveillance in sky, in order to subdue the few of you brave enough to venture out each night in search of answers. We are trying to help you hold your county accountable for employing and protecting an officer who would flee down the same street where he opened fire on an unarmed boy and left him there, first to die, then to bleed in open view for several hours.

"Eighty Years of Fergusons" by Adam Serwer

Fifty years later, walking down West Florissant Avenue in Ferguson in the early hours of the morning, Charles Mayo would recall a similar experience after a night of mediating between police and protesters. "'Y'all helping the man,'" Mayo said he was told. "No, I'm helping another kid get home tonight."

Since Aug. 19, the nightly clashes between police and protesters have ebbed. That night, wave after wave of green-clad police crashed into the crowd seeking those suspected of throwing bottles or rocks at police, but there was no tear gas. Clergy and black-clad peacekeepers huddled with men erupting in tearful rage at the police, preventing physical confrontations. Even if no one was thinking about Watts, or Detroit, or Birmingham, those nights long past were present, as the protesters looked at themselves through the eyes of the world. The protesters cried, "This is what you want," and "Don't give them what they want," not just to the police but the media, whom they feared were escalating tensions in pursuit of a good story, compounding the tragedy of Brown's death by turning black suffering into nightly entertainment.

"The Parable of the Unjust Judge; or Fear of a Nigger Nation" by Ezekiel Kweku

For the black middle class, respectability becomes an aspirational fable, a promise that they, too can be free of racism if they become successful enough to transcend their race. For the black underclass, it becomes a morality tale that explains their own destruction. Respectability politics is a false narrative, but it maintains its power because, like so many powerful lies, it sits adjacent to the truth and set slightly askew: they are looking for a way to turn you into a nigger, and if necessary, they will find one. You will never leave a body pure enough to not be judged complicit in its own destruction.

"Between the World and Ferguson" by Jelani Cobb

We know intuitively, not abstractly, about terrorism's theatrical intent. The sight of Michael Brown, sprawled on Canfield Drive for four hours in the August sun, dead at the hands of an officer who was unnamed for a week, recalled that memory. It had the effect of reminding that crowd of spontaneous mourners of their own refuted humanity. A single death can be understood as a collective threat. The media didn't whip up these concerns among the black population; history did that.

A federal judge ruled on Friday that a key component of Texas's anti-abortion law, which required all abortion clinics to meet the standards of hospital-level surgical centers, is unconstitutional. The ruling spares a dozen abortion clinics from closure.

In his ruling, CNN reports U.S. District Court Judge Lee Yeakel wrote that enforcing the same standards on clinics as hospital-level surgical centers "imposes an undue burden on the right of women throughout Texas to seek a previability abortion." According to the AP, operating rooms and air filtration systems are among the expensive additions the law would have required existing abortion facilities to obtain.

The new requirement would have taken effect on Monday and closed all but seven abortion facilities in Texas, the country's second-largest state. The only clinics remaining would have been in the state's major cities, and there would have been none in the entire western half.

Republican lieutenant governor David Dewhurst said Friday:

"I am truly disappointed in today's ruling that undermines a concerted effort to improve health care for women in Texas by raising the standard of care in abortion clinics."

Yeakel's ruling concluded the law's intent was, instead, to "close existing licensed abortion clinics."

Protests in Islamabad, Pakistan continued this weekend as dissidents demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Police clashed with protestors violently, dousing them with tear gas and injuring hundreds.

The protestors were aiming to reach the prime minister's residence Saturday night, and regrouped Sunday morning with the same goal in mind. The path up to the prime minister's residence was heavily guarded by police and barricades, and injuries continued to rise.

Via the AP:

More than 300 people — including women, children and police officers — were admitted to two government hospitals in the Pakistani capital, medics and police said. The injured had wounds from tear gas shells, batons and rubber bullets, said Dr. Javed Akram, who heads the capital's main hospital.

Akram said 182 injured were treated at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences. He said 37 police officers were among the injured.

The government deployed 20,000 officers to maintain the protests, which have been led by Imran Khan and Tahirul Qadri, who both demanded of protesters that the scene remain peaceful. Protesters believe that Prime Minister Sharif was brought to power by rampant voter fraud and are seeking a fairer system in determining elections. According to the AP, protests began on August 14, Pakistan's Independence Day.

While officials say they intend to keep the protests in check, many claim they will not be backing down any time soon:

Riot police initially showed restraint during Saturday's march but when the crowd started removing shipping containers used as barricades, they fired salvos of tear gas canisters that forced the crowds back. TV footage showed protesters, including women and children, scattering in retreat. Some fell to the ground and many protesters, including several children, were shown in TV reports being treated for the effects of tear gas.

At the time of the protests on Saturday evening, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was staying at his home in the eastern city of Lahore, where a number of other protests had erupted.

Police say a motorcyclist in New Hampshire, clocked going 127 mph, bragged to officers about reaching 185 mph during the ensuing chase. Bad (ideas) to the bone!

According to the AP, a trooper spotted 31-year-old David J. Fries going 127 mph on Interstate 93 at about 2:45 a.m. on Saturday. Another trooper saw Fries crash into a guardrail after he exited the interstate, at which point he led officers on an hourlong foot chase.

Fries was caught with the aid of a police dog, and treated for injuries both from the crash and the dog.

Police said Fries, who had in his possession a hypodermic needle, smoking pipe, and crack cocaine, allegedly told them he got up to 185 mph before exiting the interstate.

He is being held on a $30,000 bail.

Before Katy Perry was the mega controversy-causing Lite-Brite pop star that she is today, she was an Alanis Morrissette acoustic guitar-player with a "pizza face" and a Christian bent. In footage recently unearthed by videographer Jim Standridge, the 17-year-old star is seen crying over her parents, talking about repeating ninth grade, and loving the tour life, all while redoing her hair a thousand times.

According to Standridge's post below the clip, he has over 90 minutes of footage following Katy Perry's tour, but only 12 have showed up here, cut together into a montage. The ultimate image of Katy Perry before she was famous, almost thirteen years ago.

Living out the fantasy of any person invited to any wedding, Mark Wahlberg did, in fact, skip Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy's nuptials yesterday, sending an Instagram in his absence.

The Instagram video was taken at Wahlberg's (actor, of course, who would have stopped 9/11 had he only been given the chance) 11-year-old daughter's birthday party, and featured his wife—rumored Jenny McCarthy hater—sort of smiling beside him:

So: do they hate Jenny McCarthy, or does this Instagram video prove that they simply could not reschedule the 11-year-old's birthday celebration but would have loved to make the wedding had the scheduling issue not been a factor?

(They probably don't like her! Why would they?!)

Comedian Joan Rivers was put into a medically induced coma on Thursday night after complications from throat surgery, and now her daughter, Melissa Rivers, reports that the comic legend is "resting comfortably" and asks that "everyone keep her in your thoughts and prayers."

Joan Rivers was hospitalized in critical condition on Thursday after she stopped breathing during surgery on her vocal chords. She was put into a medically induced coma and has been cared for at Mount Sinai hospital in New York City. The comedian was put on life support on Saturday.

Melissa Rivers' statement came through Mount Sinai spokesperson Sid Dinsay:

"I want to thank everyone for the overwhelming love and support for my mother," the statement read. "She is resting comfortably and is with our family. We ask that you continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

According to a report by the New York Daily News, sources have revealed that "Rivers would not want to live unless she could enjoy 'a full and active life....(She) would never want to be a burden on anyone.'"

Pigeons are everywhere. New York City, alone, is thought to harbor as many as 7-million of them. But where are all the dead pigeons? The short answer: Inside other animals. The long answer – horribly, but necessarily – involves GIFs.

WARNING: This Post Contains Graphic Footage of Pigeon Demise

It's hard out there for a pigeon. Harder than you probably realize. More than most animals, pigeons have shared in a long, at times even convivial, relationship with humans. And yet they seem to have fallen out of public favor in recent years. They have a lot in common with rats, another loathed species with intimate ties to humanity. Like rats, today's pigeons, especially those of the feral variety, are associated with grime, disease, and overwhelming numbers – a nest-building, infrastructure-exploiting perfusion of the modern urban landscape.

It is notable that where rats have succeeded primarily from the dark and shadow-shrouded margins of society, pigeons have made their way in the world almost entirely out in the open – bobbing their heads and beating their wings, dirty, innumerable and occasionally aggressive in the sight of god and man. Robert Sullivan has written that rats are our cities' "most unwanted inhabitants," but one could compellingly argue that title actually belongs to the pigeon. They are, after all, "rats with wings," the implication being that the only thing worse than a rat is a rat capable of flight – and in broad daylight, no less. (Pigeons, you should know, are quite the aerialists.)

All this is to say that pigeons, having fallen from grace in the eyes of humans, already have it kind of rough. But it gets worse. Because pigeons, I recently learned, also have to worry about being eaten. By pretty much everything.

Under ideal circumstances, a pigeon can live upwards of 15 years. The average lifespan of a pigeon "under urban conditions," however, is more like 3–4 years. Given this information, urbanites are wont to inquire after the whereabouts of their city's most reviled birds. Where, pray tell, are all the dead pigeons?

The classic answer is that pigeons and their offspring are killed and eaten by a long list of other animals, and that this keeps their inanimate bodies more or less out of sight and mind. If you're like me-from-six-hours-ago, you probably have no idea just how extensive that list is. It includes:

Seagulls

Via Bubu station

Owls

Cats (Stray and Domestic)

Pelicans

Via SzabolcsS

Various Species of Raptor

Via vanessa cano

Turtles (TURTLES!)

And Randy Johnson Humans

Be apprised: This is only a sampling of the peristeronic torture porn that awaits you, should you choose to plumb the depths of the Internet with a keyword search of "* kills pigeon."

The list of pigeon-eating animals grows when you incorporate scavengers. Here's what Gary Graves, curator at the Smithsonian's bird division, had to say when The Atlantic's John Metcalf looked into the whereabouts of the world's dead pigeons:

...decay processes and scavengers clean them up quickly. In Atlanta, from April through October, blowflies and ants can reduce a dead sparrow to a pile of loose feathers in a few days. [Ed. Note: According to The Straight Dope, insects can do the same to a pigeon "in a week or two."] In winter, opossums, raccoons, rats, cats, dogs, skunks, foxes, coyotes, crows, and Turkey Vultures clean up the dead. These same scavengers operate in the warmer months too, but blowflies often beat them to the punch.... Yes, the world would be a lot smellier without nature's cleanup squad (including the smallest and most important decomposers——bacteria and fungi)!

The more one reads up on pigeons and the animals that devour them, the more one is faced with the distinct impression that the Venn diagram depicting "Things That Eat Meat" and "Things That Eat Pigeons" is basically a circle.

It's true, of course, that many of the things that eat pigeons also hunt and scavenge for other animals. There are instances, however, of pigeons constituting the primary food source for urban predators.

The peregrine falcons and redwing hawks of New York City, for instance, prey upon all manner of birds, including starlings, blackbirds, flickers, and blue jays – but their diets consist primarily of pigeon. In the early nineties, raptor-on-pigeon violence became so aggressive that the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals actually received complaints from people seeking to have pigeon-predators shot.

"We had one woman in Brooklyn who called us in a fury, asking that we do something to get rid of the peregrine falcons," Dr. Stephen Zawistowki, science director for the A.S.P.C.A. in New York, once said, in an interview with the New York Times. "She thinks the city should belong to the pigeons."

An armored truck carrying a buttload of cash overturned in Rhode Island on Saturday, police officers say, and guess what: movies are real and money started pouring out everywhere!

The armored truck that was driving in Cranston, Rhode Island, caused quite a stir when it overturned in the road, spilling bags of money. Where were you, huh? Sitting at home with a lottery ticket?

According to the Providence Journal, the truck's driver lost control when heading southbound on Route 10 and was taken to the hospital along with the truck's second occupant after the accident. Deputy Fire Chief Paul L. Valletta Jr. told the Providence Journal that they were unsure if anyone got any cash from the scene:

"There were bags of it all over the place" when emergency crews arrived, Valletta related. "There were quite a few people here."

The money that was strewn about was in clear plastic bags and white canvas duffel bags, he said. A second Garda truck was called in, and, as state police watched, the money was transferred to that vehicle.

The accident is currently under investigation so don't buy that boat just yet, Rhode Island Route 10 drivers.

An abandoned dog that narrowly escaped being euthanized years ago was an active participant in rescue efforts in Hiroshima, after recent landslides killed more than 50 residents and left many missing.

Asia & Japan Watch reports that Yumenosuke, a male mixed-blooded dog, was dispatched to the rescue effort from non-profit organization Peace Winds Japan. The organization found Yumenosuke at an animal welfare center when he was just four months old. From Asia & Japan Watch:

Yumenosuke was supposed to be put down that same day, but his turn did not come since many dogs were scheduled to be destroyed.

The puppy was adopted by the NPO. But little Yumenosuke hardly seemed suited to be a rescue dog because of his cautious nature.

Yumenosuke gradually leaned to follow commands, and spent years training to search for survivors in the mountains. His debut search and rescue effort took place in the Yagi district of Hiroshima's Asa-Minami Ward on August 20. From Asia & Japan Watch:

Around 1:20 p.m. 4-year-old Yumenosuke stopped near a house, the first floor of which was buried in mud. Unlike many other rescue dogs, which are trained to bark when they find a survivor, Yumenosuke kept gazing at the fallen lumber.

The dog's handler, Hiroyuki Sano, soon found a man's body in the debris.

Sano told Asia & Japan Watch, "A dog abandoned by people is now rescuing them. It is a proof that Yumenosuke deserves to live."

A boat carrying 100 migrants capsized off the coast near Tripoli in Libya, coast guard officials said on Sunday. Officials have not confirmed the number of deaths but at least 100 people were on board. This is the second boat to capsize in the same area in a week, the Associated Press reports.

While on board a Southwest Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Albuquerque, Jack Jordan suffered a massive heart attack, which rallied passengers on the flight to give the man CPR. While others gathered to a help, a flight attendant allegedly said the heart defibrillator couldn't be used because the man's chest was too hairy.

Jordan's widow, Caroline Jordan, spoke with news outlet KOAT regarding the alleged messup that played a role in her husband's death. She claims she saw the defibrillator not being used and demanded to know why, prompting the flight attendant to note the man's hairy chest.

Via the NY Daily News:

"I don't expect the airlines or the flight attendants to be nurses or doctors, not anywhere close," she said. "But in that kind of a circumstance, one of the first things they should be doing is getting that AED hooked up."

KOAT spoke with several medical experts, all who said that chest hair very rarely gets in the way of a defibrillator's ability to work properly. The man's chest was eventually shaven and the defibrillator was hooked up but by that time it was too late.

Southwest Airlines is currently investigating Jordan's allegations.

Leandra Becerra Lumbreras was born on August 31, 1887, making her—at 127 years old—the oldest person documented to have ever lived. The keys to her long life are reportedly "sleeping for days on end," never getting married, and fighting. What a woman!

Metro reports Lumbreras's granddaughter Miriam Alvear told Mexico's El Horizonte, "She was always a woman who fought. She was still sewing and weaving until about two years ago." Lumbreras also reportedly fought in the Mexican Revolution as leader of the all-female group the Adelitas. From Metro:

The tragedy of Ms Lumbreras long life is that she has already buried five children and several of her 20 grandchildren, the last of whom died in 2013 – aged 90.

She also has 73 great-grandchildren and 55 great-great-grandchildren.

Lumbreras reportedly lost her original birth certificate 40 years ago, and authorities in Mexico are trying to provide her with a new one.

Hitler's childhood home in Braunau, Austria is slated to be turned into the House of Responsibility, a museum dedicated to survivors of the Holocaust.

The NY Daily News reports that Hitler's former home, an inn where he was born in 1889 and lived for only three years with his parents before moving to Passau, will become a museum that depicts the horrors performed by Nazis on the Jews during the Holocaust.

The house has been vacant for the past two years. According to The Daily Mail, the house, which was part pub and part inn, has been a yearly destination for Neo-Nazis who come to pay tribute to Hitler's origins on his birthday.

From The Daily Mail:

Juergen Schmidt, a local, said: "It is about time we got rid of this eyesore and this shame. Making it into a place of memory for the victims of Nazism is a good idea."

During Hitler's absorption of Austria into Germany after 1938, the house was turned into a Nazi culture center, where ". . . anyone who wished to progress through party ranks was obliged to pay at least one visit there to pay homage to the leader," The Daily Mail notes.

No timeline has been established yet for when the museum will open.

Earlier this week, a post started on 4chan claimed a wealth of celebrity nudes--a large cache in possession of a hacker who'd gained access to several celebrities' alleged personal photos—would leak on Sunday. Well, Sunday's here, the supposed leak has begun, and the internet is reacting accordingly.

The list of celebrities whose nudes are supposedly in this cache includes Jennifer Lawrence, Avril Lavigne, Kate Upton, Lea Michele, and McKayla Maroney, and several of them—the photos, not the celebs—have begun to show up on various message boards across the internet.

It's still unclear how the photographs ended up online, but an anonymous user began posting the images on 4chan on Sunday around 4 pm.

Posters on 4chan and Reddit claimed that the celebrities were hacked through their iCloud accounts, though that hasn't been verified, and the method is unclear. Posters on 4chan and Twitter who claim to have additional videos have reportedly been requesting bitcoin in exchange for their release.

One Twitter user, whose account has since been suspended, posted that TMZ was attempting to purchase a trove of photos, and the anonymous 4chan uploader specifically referenced the gossip site in a 4:13 pm post, writing "I'd rather you get them than TMZ."

TMZ are going to post nudes of like 20 celebs tonight. They are offering the guy who hacked the phones of celebs 6 figure sums to sell them.

Photos allegedly of Jennifer Lawrence, Lea Michele, Kirstin Dunst, and others have begun to swirl.

Jennifer Lawrence's representatives confirmed to Buzzfeed that the leaked photos were authentic:

(It's unclear on what grounds those people will be "prosecuted.")

Mary Winstead has responded to the leak confirming the photos are of her:

To those of you looking at photos I took with my husband years ago in the privacy of our home, hope you feel great about yourselves.

Knowing those photos were deleted long ago, I can only imagine the creepy effort that went into this. Feeling for everyone who got hacked.
