Ricky Gervais’ first stand-up special in seven years premieres this month on Netflix, and it’s a whopper: a 78-minute, boundary-pushing commentary fittingly titled Humanity. Gervais, who helped create the British Office, has made a career out of playing un-self-aware, attention-seeking narcissists. In Humanity, which was filmed over the course of two shows in London, he embodies the beer-swilling philosopher, tackling rape, social-media trolls, religious fundamentalism, aging, and Caitlyn Jenner. Of the show’s title, he says: “I don’t know why I called it that....

Yellowstone National Park is famous for being a pristine haven in some of the most beautiful terrain in the western U.S., but it seems the park alone isn’t enough to protect the wildlife that call it home. A research team in Yellowstone has encountered a setback that underscores that issue: the untimely death of a golden eagle they were tracking. Officials confirmed this week that the first golden eagle fitted with a GPS tracking device had died from lead poisoning, likely after eating bullet fragments from an animal killed by a hunter outside the park, The Denver Post reports....

Since the debut of the Zoom Vaporfly 4% back in 2017, the big story with Nike running has been all about speed—or more specifically, the company’s quest to develop a running shoe that can propel an athlete through a marathon in less than two hours. While Eliud Kipchoge (sort of) notched that vaunted achievement last year, Nike’s also been working to tackle another barrier in running: injuries.

Pullups aren’t easy. But here’s how to progressively bang out more and more. Write down your personal record—the most reps you can do with good form. The next time you do pullups, take half your PR and do four sets of that number. So if you PR was 10, you’ll do four sets of five reps. The next week, add one rep to each set.

What we don’t have much insight into is their minds, the most crucial element in performance-making moments, according to Jonathan Fader, Ph.D., a leading sports psychologist for professional athletes. When athletes need to perform their best in a high-pressure situation—when they do sink that free throw, ace a serve, or nab an RBI—this is what’s going through their minds....

Ask any intrepid traveler what their dream trip would be, and chances are a journey through Africa is bound to make an appearance—if not top the list.
