Matt Brennan emerged triumphant from a bunch sprint to claim victory in the second stage of the Vuelta a España, while overall favourite Tadej Pogacar retained the red jersey on Sunday.

Britain’s Brennan was followed over the line by Pau Miquel and Pogacar after a long 214.3km stage with over 3,000m of climbing, leaving Monaco and heading to Manosque in France.

Andrew Hiers is trying to start his own opera company. Until then, he’s serenading the parking lot

Andrew Hiers, 38, is an opera singer – a bass-baritone – and a car salesman in Cocoa, Florida. You might think these professions have nothing to do with each other, but his librettos about cars or to customers have gone viral – all part of a larger plan to bring opera to the local community.

What time did you wake up?

AI-агента сегодня можно собрать за несколько часов. Но это не значит, что бизнес понимает, где его действительно стоит внедрять.

Компании часто начинают с Build: выбирают модель, подключают Jira, GitHub, MCP, собирают workflow. А уже потом пытаются понять, какую проблему они вообще решили.

В статье разбираю другой подход: сначала найти места, где команда теряет время на восстановление контекста, ручную координацию и переключение между системами. Для этого мы в Laplace используем Context Audit и понятие контекстного долга.

Поговорим о том, как увидеть такие проблемы в Jira, Confluence и GitHub, почему не каждую из них стоит автоматизировать и что делать после аудита.

• Antonelli second and Russell third in final Zandvoort race

• Dutch driver hits wall on opening lap resulting in restart

Lando Norris’s victory in the Dutch Grand Prix, a display of fighting spirit worthy of a world champion, was not only an epic finale for the meeting’s last entry on the Formula One calendar but, as the British driver feistily declared, also hopefully heralds what could be an equally heroic fightback in the world championship.

The task facing Norris is huge but as the season enters the run-in to the title, the McLaren driver knew he had to at very least chip away at championship leader Kimi Antonelli’s advantage. For a great swathe of the Dutch GP it looked beyond him, with the Italian teenager assured out front.

Manchester United again struggled against a back five as the promoted hosts exploited a set-piece weakness

Hull scored nine league goals from set plays last season, the joint-fewest in the Championship. Yet two in 21 minutes earned them a victory over Manchester United on Saturday.

It was a disastrous start to the campaign for the visitors. While Michael Carrick said before the game it would not be easy, he would not have expected victory being so straightforward for Hull. It was a match United simply had to win given the gulf in resources and expectation. Opta rated their chance of victory at 68.9% before kick-off.

“WELCOME BACK ENZO” read the tifo beforehand and by the breathless close this was a joyous return for Manchester City’s new manager, Enzo Maresca, as a damaging defeat became a memorable win due to Marc Guéhi’s 84th-minute equaliser and Josko Gvardiol’s added-time winner.

Until then, Marco Rose had been closing in on leading Bournemouth to a first away victory at City. But two lapses in defence and suddenly City were the ruthless proposition they were not before.

Academics and a former classification board director say Halloween: The Game’s ban due to ‘incentivised drug use’ highlights an incoherent set of standards

Halloween’s Michael Myers is one of film’s most feared boogeymen, responsible for some of the most brutal on-screen deaths in horror cinema. The US video game developer Illfonic looked to reproduce those terrors in its upcoming title Halloween: The Game, with gruesome killings a major focus of the gameplay: for instance, you can stomp another player’s head through a toilet seat, or fry their brain by throwing them through a television screen.

But Australians will not be able to play Halloween, because it has been refused classification by the Australian Classification Board, which means it is banned from sale within the country. And it’s not because of the violence or murders.
