PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bryce Harper bristled at the blowback from his toothbrushing technique that he displayed over a sink inside a San Diego hotel bathroom. Harper shared his morning routine — appropriately captioned, “Moring Y’all” — to more than 600,000 followers on TikTok and one part or his oral care stopped even his most diehard fans right in their shower shoes.

NEW YORK (AP) — A surprising gut feeling may help pigeons find their way home. Animals use various techniques to navigate including following the stars and remembering key landmarks. Birds, fish and turtles orient themselves using Earth’s magnetic field as a compass. But it’s not yet clear how exactly they do this.
