Name of officer who shot Daunte Wright will be released "shortly," city manager says
From CNN's Maureen Chowdhury
Comment →Reporters pressed Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott and City Manager Curt Boganey about why the name of the officer who shot Daunte Wright has not been released.
Mayor Elliott said it was "privileged" information at the moment since the shooting is under investigation. He did express willingness to share additional information about the female officer in question.
Earlier in the news conference, Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon said Wright was fatally shot during a traffic stop after a police officer shouted "Taser!" but fired a handgun instead of the non-lethal stun gun.
Saudi authorities said Monday only people immunised against Covid-19 will be allowed to perform the year-round umrah pilgrimage from the start of Ramadan, the holy fasting month for Muslims.
The hajj and umrah ministry said in a statement that three categories of people would be considered "immunised" -- those who have received two doses of the vaccine, those administered a single dose at least 14 days prior, and people who have recovered from the infection.

Comment →Supreme Court has released its opinion on GOOGLE LLC v. ORACLE AMERICA, INC. Read it for yourself here.
There are a couple of good threads about it. Here is the more technical one:
GOOD morning, everyone -
Google v Oracle is out. I'm going to walk through the decision for you now. This is a quick first read, without even a skim.
In other words, I will almost certainly miss stuff, some important, in this thread.https://t.co/9p1zEbmqkG

Here is a more chatty explainer:
OK, re #GoogleVsOracle perhaps worth a quick thread about what APIs actually are and why it matters so much for interoperability in tech that Google won on this

Fact checking the sourpuss, 1923 was indeed a relative low for MLB attendance, for some reason, (8.6 million) but then would gain almost a million the next year and remain around 9.5 million for the rest of the decade.

Interestingly, (but maybe not surprising*) attendance peaked in 1930 at over 10.1 million, but then would fall off dramatically the next couple of years, bottoming out in 1933 at just a bit over 6 million.
