This is Angel Falls in Venezuela, with its 807-metre sheer plunge - the tallest waterfall on our planet.

The Dodgers are allowed one win each time Yoshinobu Yamamoto warms up. Take it or leave it, non-transferable. Those are the rules.

The Blue Jays have endured a physically brutal season of baseball. George Springer keeps getting murdered and keeps coming back but with pieces of him missing like Beric Dondarrion

RIP Jane Goodall. There's so much to say about her career, her activism, her science. Primatology was the home of so many bigoted approaches to race, gender, and animality when she arrived and the field became more humane because of her. A truly transformative figure.
