The $500 Meta Quest 3 made its debut today, mere days before Apple is rumored to show off its virtual reality headset.
First there were police officers falsely claiming to overdose simply from being in the presence of fentanyl. Then there were the cops giving their K-9s naloxone for the same reason.

Watch LSU players react to the new air-conditioned helmets for 2023
Ask any football player and they’ll tell you the toughest part of the season is training camp. Putting on the pads multiple times a day in the August heat simply wears you down. It was tough enough in New England, so I can only imagine what that’s like down in the heat and humidity of Baton Rouge.
That might be slightly easier for the LSU Tigers this...

After winning the Charles Schwab Challenge, Emiliano Grillo qualified for the 151st Open Championship, but he isn’t the only one.
A restored 1973 Ford Bronco isn’t the only perk of winning the Charles Schwab Challenge for Emiliano Grillo. He officially qualified for the 151st Open Championship later this summer. He isn’t the only notable name that qualified for the Open, as multiple rising stars and household names will now get to tee it...
This is SO GOOD.
It turns out that Paul George isn’t knocking down shots he’s knocking impersonations out of the park.
Paul George gives a pretty good Charles Barkley impression on his podcast pic.twitter.com/YH1xT77OsC
— hoops bot (@hoops_bot) May 31, 2023My only gripe with Paul’s take on Charles Barkley is that it doesn’t go on enough. This is a really, really good impression of Chuck — and he’s got Barkley’s unique pattern of speech down pat. Now what we need...

Google’s dark web reporting feature — a service that allows users to run one-off scans to see if their Gmail address has been exposed to the seedier corners of the internet — is now fully available on most Google accounts across the US. It’s one of just a handful of updates announced in Google’s latest Android feature drop, which is otherwise looking fairly sparse as we approach the public rollout of Android 14 later this year.

Eric Lewis was not selected as one of the 12 referees who will work the NBA Finals between the Nuggets and Heat, while the league continues to look into whether he used a Twitter account to defend himself and other officials from online critiques.
This machine allows for adjustments after every cooking cycle, eventually helping you approach white-rice perfection. But that wizardry doesn’t justify the price.
What a decades-long debate over animals' ability to imagine the future reveals about science, humanity, and futurism.

So is this the week someone finally catches Red Bull?
F1’s European stretch rolls on, as the grid heads to Barcelona for the 2023 Spanish Grand Prix.
While the circuit in Barcelona is a familiar one for teams, it will look a little different this year, more on that in a moment. This is also the home race for both Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz Jr., and is the site of Alonso’s last F1 victory, the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix.
Can he break through...

When Nintendo discontinued the 3DS — and with it, the existence of dual-screen handhelds — I lamented the weird games we would no longer have. High up on that list was Etrian Odyssey: a line of dungeon-crawling role-playing games built explicitly with the handheld’s two screens in mind. They’re games where you fight your way through dangerous labyrinths and literally draw your own map to chart your progress. I had a hard time imagining playing them on any other...
