Manuela—who uses she, they pronouns—took to their social media on Sunday, October 23, to call out Swift, 32, whose new album, Midnights, dropped on Friday. Manuela shared side-by-side videos via Instagram and Twitter of “Anti-Hero” as well as footage from Glimmer, which they released in April, to show the similarities. In the clips, both Manuela and Swift stared into a mirror while their clones hovered behind them. They each high fived their clones before later climbing on top of a roof....

Argentina are in a precarious position heading into their final qualifying match against Ecuador in Quito on Tuesday, having drawn their last three games and scored only one goal in the process. Jorge Sampaoli’s side are sixth in the South American standings but a win over Ecuador would be enough to secure at least a play-off place, with Peru and Colombia, the two teams above them, playing each other....

This week’s celebration of our four-legged friends comes at the end of a busy seven days for fans of all things furry.

Away from the headlines, we’ve been busy sorting through the amazing pet pictures sent in by our readers to choose this week’s finalist....

American 20-year-old Kenin produced a pivotal break at 4-4 in the second set, which came as she reeled off seven games in succession to turn the match on its head. The third seed went a break up in the opener but surrendered her advantage and lost out in the tie-break when she sent a forehand from the baseline long. Stosur, who was looking for her first WTA Tour singles title in over two years, dropped her serve at the start of the second but gave up just one point across three games to edge in front....

Lynn responded to Omega on Twitter and said that he would kick out of the One Winged Angel, a move which aided Omega in winning the World title last week....

“There’s going to be multiple families that we’ve lost,” Beshear said in an interview with CNN on Friday morning. “Kids that won’t get the opportunity to grow up and experience so much that we have. We’ve never seen something like this.” Videos of the flooding in Eastern Kentucky on Wednesday and Thursday morning were posted on social media, showing submerged streets, and houses and cars partially underwater. During a Thursday morning press conference, Beshear said that he expected “hundreds” to lose their homes following the flooding, and that it would be “yet another event that it’s going to take not months but likely years for many families to rebuild and recover from....

Mark Vanderhoff, a reporter for WKLY News, posted footage of the protest on Twitter and wrote: “The car caravan protest against Governor Andy Beshear’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreak has grown substantially to about 30-40 cars.” The protesters circled the Capitol loop in the capital city of Frankfort, honking their horns and displaying signs with messages asking the governor to reopen the state. This protest follows a Wednesday demonstration outside the Capitol, where people also rallied against lockdown measures that have closed businesses across the state and asked for the economy to be reopened....

Over the past week, Booker has received a wave of endorsements from Senator Bernie Sanders, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and two of Kentucky’s highest-circulation newspapers. “Right now, he’s got the clear momentum,” said Christian Motley, a Democratic strategist from Lexington. “We’re a week and a half out from primary day and we’ve got a race on our hands.” Al Cross, a longtime Kentucky political commentator, agreed that Booker is “the candidate of the moment”—not only because of the endorsements but also because of his response to protests for police reform....

With Kenya’s disputed election crisis showing no signs of easing, the once serene Rift Valley is awash with disturbing signs of mayhem and destruction. Amid the verdant greenery of the plains and the picture-postcard views of lush pastures is the debris of countless homes and shops burned to the ground by gangs of angry, vengeful men whose loyalty appears to lie largely in the chaos that has descended over much of this part of the country....

Stars will entertain Zanzibar at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos and coach, Paul Put has laid out a plan to extinguish the bright flames of the inform Zanzibar Heroes. “I hope we score early in the game but if we don’t, then we’ll have to be patient and play the same way we did against Burundi,” Put said after his last training session. Kenya needed extra time to sail past a gritty Burundi in the first semi-final....

Jose Pereyra Diaz opened the scoring for the Tuskers with a 62nd-minute header before Alvaro Vazquez spectacularly scored from his own half to make it 2-0. Mohammed Irshad got a late consolation for the Highlanders. NorthEast United started the game well, switching the ball between their midfielders and moving away from the Kerala Blasters’ challenges. But it was Ivan Vukomanovic’s side that caused the first real moment of panic in the opposition box....

Some of the Options for Keeping Clean Most of us do not have access to one of the more advanced methods of cleaning a dirty bottom, which would be a bidet. A few of the other options to keep clean include getting in the bathtub and taking a shower or a bath, using wet wipes, or even washing with a damp flannel cloth. Most of these include wiping, and if your bottom is sore, it probably won’t be pleasant....

Speaking to the press outside the White House on Wednesday, without offering a specific example, Conway said the media should be asking Harris about defunding the police, “instead of saying, ‘You look nice in this jacket.’ How embarrassing and by the way, how sexist.” Conway went on to tell the reporter to relay the messages to his colleagues. However, Conway has previously defended President Donald Trump over sexist remarks he has made in the past....

Kenny Robinson’s favorite part about playing in the XFL was simply the fact he got to play at all. “Being kicked out of school and not knowing when I was going to have the opportunity to play again … I just enjoy the experience as a whole," Robinson told Sporting News. Robinson was a promising safety at West Virginia, where he earned All-Big 12 first team honors as a sophomore....

One could argue Kentucky always was a team, but at best it was a shattered team after the Wildcats were embarrassed by Duke in the season-opening game at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. You do not walk into a game with the No. 1 ranking and walk out with a 34-point defeat and simply move on to the next game. MORE: Duke debut one to remember, and one UK won’t soon forget...
