When I learned the brown tarantula is also native to Missouri, I gasped, and when I say I'm not too fond of spiders of any genus is an understatement. It's psychological. They have too many legs.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.

Actor William Talman was born on February 4, 1915, in Detroit, Michigan, and died from lung cancer in Los Angeles on August 30, 1968. He was best known as District Attorney Hamilton Berger on TV's long-running legal series, Perry Mason (CBS, 1957 to 1966). Berger never won a case on the show, and Talman had legal issues with the law behind the scenes. This is his story.

Michael Jordan’s retirement from the NBA left behind a legacy that many consider nearly impossible to replicate. With an unmatched resume, Jordan is often at the center of the GOAT debate. Meanwhile, LeBron James, who is on the cusp of his 22nd NBA season, continues to build his own legendary career. As a result, the NBA community finds itself increasingly divided between these two basketball icons.

Oh boy, this was a mistake — no matter how you slice it. Milwaukee took Dirk with the No. 9 overall pick in the 1998 NBA Draft. Along with Steve Nash, both were sent to Dallas on draft day. Nowitzki not only led Dallas to an NBA Title, but he also made 14 All-Star appearances. He revolutionized the power forward spot as one which now included long-range shooting. Oh — and Dirk is arguably the best foreign-born player in the history of the league.

Fanatics has refiled its lawsuit against Cardinals rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. with a new addition—the elder Marvin Harrison. In a new filing in the New York state Supreme Court, the amended lawsuit says Harrison Sr. “aided and abetted Harrison Jr.’s fraud on Fanatics.” The elder Harrison was a legendary Hall of Fame receiver for the Colts, while his son is about to begin his NFL career with the Cardinals.
