CBS:

A manhunt is underway in Houston as police search for a 26-year-old suspect who allegedly fled police with his pet tiger. The suspect...is out on bond for a separate murder charge, and now faces a charge of evading arrest, officials said.

Late Sunday, a neighbor said he called police after spotting the tiger roaming around his neighborhood. But when officers arrived, the owner put the tiger in an SUV, and drove off, police said. After a brief pursuit, the suspect got away. 

Various clips gathered here.

Meanwhile, NBC:

Residents demanded answers Monday after a safari park in eastern China failed to inform authorities and residents for weeks that three of its leopards had gotten out of their enclosure.

...

On Saturday morning, the safari park merely announced that it would be suspending operations, citing safety issues, in a now-deleted post on its official WeChat platform. It made no mention of the escaped leopards.

However, after a surveillance video showing a leopard in the high-end Jinyuan Villa residential area went viral online Friday, the park was forced to finally inform the public about the escaped leopards. 

That a man on bail let his tiger loose on the streets of Houston at almost the same moment as zookeepers covered up the escape of leopards in the streets of Hangzhou is a touching reminder of all that still unites the American and Chinese people in these troubled times.

Kenny Mayne broke his ankle in a UNLV game against Oregon in 1980. It never fully recovered. When he tried out for the Seahawks, he failed his physical because of it.

sometimes i remember that there was this one shitty copper-dealer in ancient Ur called Ea-Nasir, and we know who he is and where he lived because there was like twenty clay tablets in the house from people complaining about his shitty copper

— David "Android, Alien or Wizard" Moore (@dtmooreeditor) May 5, 2021

also, fun fact, the reason we don't have more clay tablets from other sources is that they usually weren't fired.

we have tablets from Ea-Nasir because it's likely they baked accidentally when his house burned down.

You're right, haha! She was among the refs inspiring the design, but ended with too many similarities. Will give her another pass, thanks for pointing out!
