Los Angeles Angels star Albert Pujols became the third player in MLB history to record 2,000 career RBI with a solo home run in the third inning of Thursday’s game against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.
Pujols etched his name into the record books by blasting a no-doubter on a 2-0 offering from Tigers southpaw Ryan Carpenter in the top of the third inning:

The president unloads to reporters about his still-festering irritation with the Russia investigation.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has called the Russia probe “case closed.” But President Donald Trump is not helping his party move on, instead offering up a lengthy list of grievances on Thursday.
At an event intended to promote Trump’s push for Congress to eliminate “surprise” medical bills, the president spent roughly 30 minutes talking to reporters about his still-fresh gripes — from special counsel Robert Mueller’s supposed conflicts of interest to the subpoenaing of his eldest son by a GOP-led Senate committee. He weighed in on other controversies, too, namely former Secretary of State John Kerry’s interactions with Iran and John Bolton’s national security advice.

Trump also expressed confidence that he would prevail over House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, whose panel would be in charge of initiating impeachment proceedings and who he said had been “conning” the country.
“Two years I’ve been going through this nonsense and now we have a good report, and now guys like Jerry Nadler, when I fought for many years successfully, I might add, back in New York in Manhattan, he was a Manhattan Congressman,” Trump told reporters of the men’s past spats. “And I beat him all the time and I come to Washington and now I have to beat him again over nothing. Over nothing. Over a hoax.”
Trump also jabbed at the high esteem in which Democrats have held the Mueller report, referring to it playfully as “the Bible” and questioning why Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) had subpoenaed Donald Trump Jr. for follow-up questioning when Mueller had found “no collusion and essentially no obstruction.”
“My son was totally exonerated by Mueller, who frankly does not like Donald Trump — me, this Donald Trump — and frankly for my son after being exonerated to now get a subpoena to go again and speak again after close to 20 hours of telling everybody that would listen about a nothing meeting, yeah, I’m pretty surprised,” Trump said of the subpoena that was revealed Wednesday.
The president was asked whether Mueller should be allowed to testify before Congress, which he has waffled on, including proclaiming over the weekend that the special counsel “should not testify.”
After clarifying that he would leave that decision to Attorney General William Barr, Trump launched into a four-minute rant, insisting that despite his decision to invoke executive privilege over the unredacted Mueller report just the day before, there had been nobody “in the history of our country more transparent than me.”
Still, he claimed, Mueller was “no friend of mine.” He and his team, Trump said, were rife with “tremendous” conflicts of interest, assertions that have been repeatedly debunked. Among the supposed conflicts were Mueller’s 2011 withdrawal from Trump National Golf Club in suburban Washington that he labeled a “business dispute,” as well as the fact that Mueller had been interviewed to replace James Comey as FBI director after Trump fired Comey — an incident Mueller ended up investigating after he was named special counsel days later.
He cited Mueller’s past history with Comey as an additional conflict, claiming the special counsel was “in love” with Comey and that the two are “supposedly best friends” — nevermind that Mueller was also close with Trump’s attorney general.
The supposed conflicts have been laid out by Trump in public and in private, according to a redacted version of Mueller’s report, forming the basis for Trump’s alleged attempts to have him fired — another incident central to Mueller’s obstruction investigation — which aides have argued would have been justified.
And he unloaded about Mueller’s team, claiming that the special counsel compiled a team of “angry Democrats” for the investigation and contended that they were determined to find some evidence of wrongdoing.
“With all of this they came back, no collusion,” Trump told ABC’s Jonathan Karl. “There’s nobody in this room, including you — that’s you, Jon, if we looked at you with $40 million, 18 angry people that hated you and all of the other things I mentioned, they’ll find something.”
Trump also touched on a slew of other topics in his unexpected news conference, including North Korea’s recent missile launches, a looming trade war with China — “we can’t have that” — escalating tensions with Iran — John Kerry “should be prosecuted” for meeting with the country’s foreign minister, he charged — and European countries’ contributions to NATO.
He tried to play down a report that he was frustrated with the hawkish instincts of national security adviser John Bolton, but instead acknowledged that he has to “temper” Bolton and keep him in check.
But while Trump used Thursday’s press availability to get a raft of concerns off his chest, his railing against congressional Democrats and his urging them to get on with legislating arguably risked overshadowing the initiative he had been there to promote — a rare issue that has bipartisan consensus on the Hill.
Sonic games, in the past few years, have been universally acknowledged as not good. They’re notorious for ridiculously confusing plotlines, poorly-rendered, buggy cutscenes, and dialogue so corny it would make an after-school special shudder. It’s a wonder how the legacy of a little blue dude who runs speedily has managed to stay intact this long.
But sometimes you gotta dig in to the cringe to pull out anything of quality. Like a chaos emerald in the rough, a project emerged that would breathe some much-needed life into a franchise dying from lack of self-awareness.
Penny Parker, a voice actress and video producer, is known for her gaming YouTube channel SnapCube, dedicated to Let’s Plays and general uplifting gaming content. But a recent series of hers has been gaining wider popularity for its combination of stellar improv comedy and lovingly dunking on the worst that the Sonic franchise has to offer.
Heya! Please check out @SnapsCube and a bunch of her awesome friend’s hilarious Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) Real-Time Fandub!
The series, titled Real-Time Fandub Games, is essentially the Mystery Science Theater 3000 of the gaming community. The episodes consist of a group of voice actors dubbing over cutscenes from various video games — one take, no script, zero rehearsal. The most recent, and most popular take, happens to be for the epic failure of a game, Sonic the Hedgehog (most often known as Sonic ’06).
The show is actually a spin-off of a co-created production with Charley Marlowe, aka PopeLickVA. Originally titled Real-Time Fandub, it started with voice actors dubbing Gravity Falls episodes on a livestream to celebrate the show’s anniversary. It covered various movies and TV shows, before Parker pitched her own video game-themed spin-off, and decided to test the idea with another Sonic flop, Sonic Adventure 2.
“Sonic games are notorious for being, in a lot of cases, pretty ridiculous,” Parker told Mashable. “I’m a big Sonic fan, but it’d be very ignorant for me to deny that a game like Sonic ’06 is an absolute disaster to watch and supports our style of humor quite well. There’s definitely a very unique energy to the character dynamics and setpieces that make Sonic games really special to dub!”
How hilarious you’ll think the whole dub will be is directly proportional to how personal you take jabs at the “gamer community.”
The most recent dub Sonic ’06 dub really does show off the best the series has to offer. As a viewer going in, you’re not required to know the plot of the game (if it has any plot at all, let’s be real) to enjoy the nonsensical running jokes and gags. It’s arguably even funnier if you don’t know anything about the Sonic the Hedgehog game series, as clearly even the game devs themselves didn’t. The most quotable moments need little to no context, and as with most improv comedy, there’s rarely any context anyways.
This bit turns the whole mini-movie into a ton of in-jokes about gamers. How hilarious you’ll think the whole dub will be is directly proportional to how personal you take jabs at the “gamer community.”
Eggman’s plan loosely involves becoming Todd Howard and turning all the “epic gamers” (Sonic and the gang) into “Minecraft PS4s.” Or put them in Fortnite. There’s a subplot about how Sonic’s rapping and “fire” mixtape will destroy the world. Shadow marries Sonic, but only because Shadow thinks Sonic is Mephiles. Then Mephiles dumps him when Omega the robot shows up and professes his love for Shadow. It turns very quickly into a host of jabs at Fortnite. The chaos emeralds are now “gamer gems.” The plot gets a little hazy.
But supposed plot continuity matters less when the jokes, and more so their delivery, are just so damn funny.
“People often remark that some of their favorite moments are when cast members audibly react out of character to something on screen that they didn’t know was going to happen (such as when one actor, Alfred broke character to comment “This game is awful”), and not many things are quite as good at doing that as Sonic the Hedgehog games are.” But Parker also added that a lot of intention and structure goes in to the dubbing style, and the legitimate rules of improv are at the core of their success.
According to Parker, the dubs are made with all the actors gathering in a group chat/call room on Discord with the footage cut and prepared in advance. Everyone records their audio remotely, with Parker currently doing all the post-production work (audio editing, visual gags, music, etc) herself, as well as providing her incredible voice talent for the OG, Sonic. It’s an incredible feat, but she says the fan reaction has made it all worthwhile.
“One thing I’ve noticed that actually has warmed my heart is that die-hard Sonic fans, for the most part, are responding really enthusiastically to the Sonic dubs, and that’s not a coincidence. We’ve approached these dubs as passion projects first and foremost. Yeah we poke fun at some of the sillier aspects, but nowadays a good amount of fans are pretty turned off by the mean-spirited and cynical nature of a lot of Sonic-centric comedy.”
Parker says she likes to think that the series brings something different to the table by not implying that liking the Sonicgame series is inherently cringe-worthy or ignorant.
That heartfor the source material is what sets Real-Time Fandub Games apart from other gaming comedy channels and parodies. Because nobody knows how to roast a piece of media like the people who adore it the most.
That’s not from a privacy activist or politician. It was written by Chris Hughes, who co-founded Facebook with his Harvard roommate Mark Zuckerberg in the early 2000s.
In a very lengthy op-ed for the New York Times published on Thursday, Hughes officially joined the growing calls to break up the social network. While Hughes hasn’t worked at the company for a decade, the former Facebook spokesperson might now be the strongest voice to make the case.
Chris Hughes is right. Today’s big tech companies have too much power—over our economy, our society, & our democracy. They’ve bulldozed competition, used our private info for profit, hurt small businesses & stifled innovation. It’s time to #BreakUpBigTech. https://t.co/rZMftEwlkN
The Facebook co-founder laid out a convincing case to break up the company: his friend, former roommate, and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg simply has too much power.
“Mark’s influence is staggering, far beyond that of anyone else in the private sector or in government. He controls three core communications platforms — Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp — that billions of people use every day. Facebook’s board works more like an advisory committee than an overseer, because Mark controls around 60 percent of voting shares. Mark alone can decide how to configure Facebook’s algorithms to determine what people see in their News Feeds, what privacy settings they can use and even which messages get delivered. He sets the rules for how to distinguish violent and incendiary speech from the merely offensive, and he can choose to shut down a competitor by acquiring, blocking or copying it.”
Hughes says that Zuckerberg’s quest for “domination” back when MySpace was the leader in the space has brought us to a point where it’s impossible for any company to compete.
When a social media app gains traction, like Instagram or WhatsApp, Facebook acquires them. If a company starts to take off due to a specific feature set, like Snapchat with its Stories, Facebook simply copies them. On a whim, Zuckerberg can decide to take down a startup that’s leveraging Facebook to grow like it did to Vine.
“As a result of all this, would-be competitors can’t raise the money to take on Facebook,” explains Hughes. “Investors realize that if a company gets traction, Facebook will copy its innovations, shut it down or acquire it for a relatively modest sum.”
“Despite an extended economic expansion, increasing interest in high-tech start-ups, an explosion of venture capital and growing public distaste for Facebook, no major social networking company has been founded since the fall of 2011,” he added.
The company’s dominance in the social media space leaves Facebook’s billions of users with little alternatives. Without the threat of competition, Facebook faces little to no accountability for password leaks or data privacy scandals like with Cambridge Analytica.
Zuckerberg himself has called for government regulation to help reign in big tech, his own company included. However, Hughes says that this is not enough.
“Mark Zuckerberg cannot fix Facebook, but our government can,” he argued, calling the Facebook CEO’s power “unprecedented and un-American” and saying he must be held accountable. “The American government needs to do two things: break up Facebook’s monopoly and regulate the company to make it more accountable to the American people.”
“Mark Zuckerberg cannot fix Facebook, but our government can.”
Hughes said the company should be separated into three distinct entities: Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
“The FTC’s biggest mistake was to allow Facebook to acquire Instagram and WhatsApp,” he continued, urging that this needs to happen before Zuckerberg goes ahead with his plan to merge the three platforms.
He also blasted the FTC’s settlement with Facebook stemming from the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Facebook is expected to agree to privacy oversight measures as well as pay a monetary fine of up to $5 billion. Hughes argued that Zuckerberg prefers these slaps on the wrist because it distracts people and keeps a feared antitrust case at bay.
In addition to breaking up Facebook, Hughes would like to see a new set of regulations for big tech companies. He called for a law in line with Europe’s GDPR that would give Americans control over their data across all platforms. The Facebook co-founder also stated the need for a new federal agency that would provide oversight, protect users’ privacy, and create social media guidelines for speech.
The calls to break up some of the country’s biggest tech companies have been gaining steam in recent years. Senator Elizabeth Warren, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, notably called for the reversal of Facebook’s mergers earlier this year while advocating for breaking up the tech behemoths. Years earlier, Lina Khan, a law student at Yale, upended how anticompetitive behavior is considered while making the case to break up Amazon.
Hughes believes that a strong response to Facebook here would send a message to other tech giants as well as reverse a decline in antitrust enforcement in the U.S.
“If we don’t have public servants shaping these policies, corporations will,” Hughes warned.
President Donald Trump said Thursday he was “very surprised” to learn his eldest son had been subpoenaed by the Senate Intelligence Committee to testify as part of the congressional investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The president expressed frustration a day after Donald Trump Jr. received a subpoena from the Republican-led panel demanding a follow-up to his testimony before the committee.
Story Continued Below
It’s the first known congressional subpoena to a member of the president’s family, a move supported by Democrats, who have long said Trump Jr. lied to Congress about his actions and statements during the 2016 presidential campaign.
The decision to issue the subpoena, however, was ultimately made by Republican senators, a fact that irked Trump associates, who have concentrated most of their anger on the committee’s chairman, Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.).
“I was very surprised,” Trump said when asked about his son’s subpoena. “I saw Richard Burr saying there was no collusion two or three weeks ago.”
Burr declined to answer questions about the subpoena Thursday.
“Maybe you didn’t hear me when I said I’m not going to talk to you guys right now,” he told reporters.
It is unclear exactly why the committee subpoenaed Trump Jr. The president’s eldest son came under scrutiny during special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation for his participation in a 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer who promised dirt on his father’s political opponent, Hillary Clinton.
The president’s former attorney Michael Cohen in February also claimed Trump Jr. was involved in talks surrounding the Trump Tower Moscow project, though Trump Jr. has publicly downplayed his role in negotiations.
When asked if his son would fight the subpoena, the president said: “We’ll see what happens.”
“My son is a good person. My son testified for hours and hours,” the president said. “My son was totally exonerated by Mueller, who, frankly, does not like Donald Trump — me.”
The White House has rejected multiple congressional subpoenas in the past month, sparking fights between the two branches of government and paving the way for future legal battles and potential impeachment.
Trump has trumpeted the results of Mueller’s 22-month probe as evidence of “total exoneration” of him, even though the special counsel did not say that. Mueller’s 448-page report — which the president on Thursday described as “the Bible” — said there was insufficient evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin to meddle with the 2016 election.
Mueller’s report also did not take a stance on whether the president obstructed justice by attempting to interfere with the special counsel probe. Attorney General William Barr, however, declared there was not enough evidence to pursue charges.
Privacy concerns surrounding Amazon’s Echo line of smart speakers are nothing new, but it’s a different ballgame when children are involved.
Several advocacy groups collectively lodged a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission on Thursday, accusing Amazon of farming personal data from children using the Echo Dot Kids Edition released last year. Amazon denied the accusations, claiming its practices were fully compliant with federal laws, according to the New York Times.
Among the groups who filed the complaint were Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood and Parents Across America. Essentially, they claimed Amazon’s kid-centric smart speaker could store private information that kids shared with it in a way that was difficult for parents to purge from its cloud storage.
Other tech giants like Apple have also jumped on the smart speaker train.

For example, researchers found that the Echo Dot Kids Edition would retain the fake Social Security numbers, phone numbers, and other personal information they gave it. The Alexa mobile app stores transcripts of these conversations, but even after asking Alexa to delete the information, the virtual assistant could still recite it back to the researchers.
It took a call to Amazon customer service to have the information fully deleted from the cloud.
The advocacy groups said this was a violation of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA. That federal law has been in place for two decades and exists to protect the personal information of children under 13 who use online services.
Despite their popularity, parents have voiced concerns about smart speakers in recent years. A study published by USA Today earlier this year found that 58 percent of parents whose kids used smart speakers were worried about hackers eavesdropping on their conversations. Just last month, it came to light that Amazon employees could potentially track the locations of Alexa users while transcribing their exchanges with the virtual assistant.
It remains to be seen if Amazon will actually get in trouble for this, but the safety of children could be the thing that gets the federal government’s attention.

In an unusual civil forfeiture action, the US Department of Justice announced on Thursday it has seized a major cargo vessel belonging to North Korea known as the “Wise Honest”, which officials allege violated US and United Nations sanctions by illicitly shipping coal from North Korea.
The ship, which was first confiscated by other foreign maritime authorities in Indonesia in April 2018, is now in the possession of the United States and is currently approaching US territorial waters, a Justice Department official said.
The 17,061-tonne ship, which also was used to deliver heavy machinery to North Korea, is one of the country’s largest bulk carriers, the Justice Department said.
The case marks the first time the United States has seized a North Korean cargo vessel for violating sanctions.
“Our office uncovered North Korea’s scheme to export tonnes of high-grade coal to foreign buyers by concealing the origin of their ship, the Wise Honest,” US lawyer Geoffrey Berman said in a statement.
“This scheme not only allowed North Korea to evade sanctions, but the Wise Honest was also used to import heavy machinery to North Korea,” Berman said.
According to UN sanctions monitors, the Wise Honest was transporting 25,500 tonnes of coal when it was detained by Indonesia in April 2018.
The UN report estimated that the value of the ship’s coal cargo was around $3m.
“This sanctions-busting ship is now out of service,” John Demers, the head of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, said in a statement.
The seizure of the vessel comes at a delicate moment between the two countries. It was announced hours after the North Koreans fired two suspected short-range missiles in an apparent sign of trouble for nuclear disarmament talks.
It also follows a Pentagon decision to suspend efforts to arrange negotiations on recovering additional remains of US service members killed in the North during the Korean War.

Florida isn’t just a state to President Trump’s reelection campaign. It’s an entire region.
In a sign of Florida’s crucial importance to his winning a second White House term, Trump’s campaign announced that the largest swing state in the nation would be considered its own geographical region when it comes to chain of command and allocation of resources.
Story Continued Below
“We can’t win the White House without winning Florida. Period,” said top Trump surrogate Joe Gruters, chairman of the Florida Republican Party who serves in the state Senate.
“When you look at Florida, at its size and the demographics, it’s like 5 different states,” Gruters added. “There’s no state like this.”
Florida is like a mini-United States due to its migration and development patterns.
North Florida is part of the conservative Deep South. Southwest Florida is also conservative and culturally attuned to the Midwest due to the common link of Interstate 75, which runs from Ohio south to Florida. Liberal Southeast Florida has more in common with the Northeast due to I-95 which runs along the coast. Miami-Dade County at the very bottom of the Peninsula is heavily Hispanic, initially because of immigrants from Cuba who began flocking there after Castro’s revolution in 1959.
And the I-4 Corridor, in the physical and ideological center of the state, often acts like a fulcrum on which statewide elections balance. In recent years, the Hispanic population in Central Florida has boomed with voters of Puerto Rican descent who typically vote Democratic and help offset the influx of relatively wealthy white retirees who vote Republican.
Of the four most-populous states in the nation, only Florida and its 29 Electoral College votes are perennially up for grabs.
With 14 million registered voters and 10 major media markets, Florida also has a history of close elections. The past five top-of-the-ticket races have been decided by 1.2 percentage points at most, and three statewide races last year for Senate, governor and state agriculture commissioner went to recounts.
Florida also has another unique distinction: It’s Trump’s second home, and one he began to learn more about politically after his narrow win in 2016. Trump’s speech Wednesday night in Panama City Beach was his 39th rally since he first announced his candidacy for president four years ago, excluding fundraisers.
“Pairing Florida with Alabama and Georgia is just a dumb— move,” said one top Trump campaign advisor. “Florida is just its own thing.”
While Trump rebuilds his campaign here, the Florida Democratic Party, former gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg responded to the 2018 elections by announcing plans to register more voters heading into the 2020 election.
Heading up Trump’s efforts in Florida is Alex Garcia, who was most recently chief of staff for Lt. Gov. Jeanette Núñez and led the Republican National Committee’s Hispanic outreach in Florida in 2018. When the Trump campaign began hashing out its plans for 2020, Garcia’s name rose to the top of the list because, one advisor said, “he knows what he’s doing and we needed a Cuban-American from South Florida who knows that world.”
A significant number of Cuban-Americans — who tend to disproportionately vote Republican — were suspected of not voting for Trump in 2016 after his bruising primary fight with the favorite son of the Cuban exile community in Miami, Sen. Marco Rubio. But Rubio and Trump patched up their relationship and the 2018 elections indicated Cuban-Americans came home to the GOP and turned out in force, helping Trump’s favored candidates — Sen. Rick Scott and Gov. Ron DeSantis — earn their tight victories.
Their wins last year, fueled in part by the RNC’s cutting-edge data operations, helped keep Florida far more red than other swing states in what was an otherwise blue-wave election.
“Why focus so much on Florida? Twenty-nine Electoral College votes. Next question,” said Rep. Matt Gaetz, a vocal Trump surrogate and adviser.
Gaetz said the major difference between the 2016 and 2020 election cycles in Florida is that the GOP is Trump’s party now.
“The RNC and Trump campaign in 2016 weren’t on the same page,” Gaetz said. “There was always disagreeing and fighting and jockeying and resentment and hurt feelings. A lot of people who lost during the [Republican primary] campaign with other candidates came to the RNC and made it an establishment enclave. That’s gone.”
The highly-anticipated It: Chapter 2 dropped its first trailer on Thursday, and it couldn’t look more terrifying.
Starring Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, Jay Ryan, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, James Ransone, and Andy Bean as the grown-up Losers Club with Bill Skarsgård reprising his role as Pennywise, this next stop in the never-ending, cyclical nightmare that is Derry already has two very promising accolades.
First, Stephen King loved it. Second, it allegedly has the bloodiest scene in horror history, a fact yet to be confirmed, but based on the trailer could easily be true. Very, very, very true.

Flying right into the future! Or, at least the present.
The often ridiculed (but actually pretty dang nice) Delta Air Lines announced Thursday that it will start testing free WiFi on domestic flights beginning May 13. This is a boon for consumers, since WiFi on most flights still costs money, with the exception of Jet Blue.
Delta will conduct the test on 55 domestic flights. The test will only last two weeks, and not all flights will get the free connection; Delta will notify passengers beforehand if their flight is part of the trial.
The aim is twofold: to test how well the WiFi actually works, and to get customer feedback. The latter is kind of a no brainer — unless passengers want to log off on their flight, free WiFi sounds pretty nice.
The technical test is where the rubber may hit the road: according to the Wall Street Journal, studies have shown that, compared to paid WiFi on airplanes, in-flight WiFi use ~soars~ when it’s free. So providing complimentary WiFi will undoubtedly put a big strain on the system.
Delta customers will be able to do most things on the WiFi, like check emails or read articles. However, perhaps of greatest disappointment to fliers, customers won’t be able to stream video. Delta has content distribution deals with media companies — which allow it to show movies and TV for free — that it can’t let free WiFi cannibalize, after all. There’s also the complication that streaming uses a ton of bandwidth, which could slow the internet to a crawl for everyone.
Jet Blue is the only other airline that offers free WiFi. And while Delta’s test is only two weeks long, perhaps it will push other airlines to catch up.
