A small deer shot through a Virginia school bus’s front window Thursday morning – slamming into a sleeping student in the front seat before scrambling to its feet and sprinting back outside, video shows.
Grainy surveillance video recorded on a Powhatan County, Va., bus shows the animal leap in through the moving vehicle’s windshield. The startled student sits up and looks around as the deer scrambles about frantically before tumbling into the aisle.
Even with the camera recording the back of his head, the driver looked visibly surprised. But after assessing the situation, he opened the door, the deer ran off the bus, and he coolly resumed driving.

Sharon Osbourne in great spirits after exit from ‘The Talk’
Sharon Osbourne appeared in great spirits Tuesday as she was spotted for the first since her contentious departure from “The Talk,” which a source told us left her with a multimillion-dollar payout.
On her way into lunch at the Sunset Marquis hotel in Hollywood, Osbourne gave a thumbs-up to a videographer who asked her how she’s doing. The former host then threw up the peace sign and appeared to smile underneath her face mask when asked if everything was good.
For the outing, Osbourne, 68, opted for a classic look that included a loosely-fitted black suit and white shirt accessorized with pearls.
Osbourne exited the CBS talk show on March 26 following accusations of racism.
“Sharon is walking away with a $5 to $10 million minimum payout and was able to spin that it was her decision [to leave the show],” a source previously told Page Six.
A separate source added that, under her departure agreement, Osbourne is free to tell her side of the story.
“Sharon will talk when she is ready,” the source said. “She still wants to give her side of the story. She has been on that show for 11 years and knows all the secrets.”

Pittsburgh Weather: Cold Front Will Rewind Weather Pattern Back To Winter – CBS Pittsburgh
Plan on a gray, wet day with temperatures closer to the seasonal averages for the first part of the day. A cold front will then throw a major changeup our way. It will rewind our weather pattern back to winter.
(Photo Credit: KDKA)
That colder air will interact with a secondary push of moisture. This will cause it to mix with, then change over to snow.
Some snow will even accumulate. These accumulations will be mostly on grassy and elevated surfaces, as we have been efficiently warming that top layer of soil with recent sunshine and 70-degree temperatures.
When all is said and done, most of the Pittsburgh-metro area will see under an inch accumulate, thanks to the aforementioned melting.
Areas in the ridges and north of I-80 will likely pick up more thanks to enhancement from Lake Erie.

AOC says calling border crisis a ‘surge’ pushes white supremacy
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has finally addressed the border crisis — but only to accuse anyone using the term “surge” of pushing a “white supremacist” philosophy.
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has repeatedly been accused of ducking the dangerously overcrowded migrant detention centers despite saying they were akin to “concentration camps” under the previous administration.
She initially appeared outraged when asked during an Instagram Live ask-me-anything session why she was “not addressing the border crisis and the kids in cages like you used to” — asking after a pause, “Are you for real?”
“It’s not a border crisis. It’s an Imperialism crisis, it’s a climate crisis, it’s a trade crisis. And also it’s a carceral crisis,” she said, without directly addressing the kids-in-cages allegation itself.

Protesting teacher chains herself to courthouse fence during Chauvin trial – StarTribune.com
Local high school teacher Kaia Hirt chained herself to a metal fence outside the Hennepin County Government Center on Monday evening in a protest pushing for police reform as the Derek Chauvin murder trial proceeded inside.
Hirt, who teaches 10th grade English at Champlin Park High School, said she was demonstrating to show her support for families of those who have been killed by police. She wants local politicians to do more to support police reform legislation.
“I’m frustrated by local and state officials’ failure to address racist policing in the community,” Hirt said, as she sat chained to a fence that authorities erected in the Government Center plaza as part of security precautions for the trial.
Bundled in a sweatshirt, blanket, and gloves, Hirt said she was relieved that Floyd’s family has been treated with dignity by authorities, but she noted that other families of those who have been killed in altercations with police are still hurting. She said those families need support as well
“We will not have justice until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are,” Hirt said.
When it comes to talking to students about racism and current events, Hirt said there is no such thing as political neutrality.
“When we say nothing about the things that are going on in our world … We are failing them as educators,” Hirt said.

Amazon union vote in Alabama puts organized labor in historic spotlight | Fox Business
Amazon employees at an Alabama warehouse continue to battle with the company over unionizing.
The vote on whether or not to unionize workers at an Amazon facility in Alabama ended Monday amid the company’s feud with politicians over the issue, which has nationwide implications for organized labor.
Balloting in the Bessemer warehouse began in early February despite the company’s objections, including a push for in-person voting. Although tallying is expected to take place on Tuesday, results could be delayed, with both sides leveling the type of complaints seen during the 2020 presidential election.
According to The Washington Post, the company and the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, which represents the 5,800 Amazon workers at the warehouse, could challenge the results with the National Labor Relations Board or before a court.
Challenges could include things like whether a ballot was properly signed or if it’s real.

When Katie Couric was first asked to go makeup-free for PEOPLE’s annual Beautiful Issue, she had an instant gut reaction.
“Are you out of your mind? Hell no,” the award-winning journalist remembers. But after some thought, the 64-year-old star decided, “Why not?”, and stripped down to her natural, makeup-free self.
“Doing a shoot without makeup, makes you feel both liberated and vulnerable,” Couric tells PEOPLE. “You feel great because you’re being true to who you are and how you look. It’s a huge dose of reality! On the other hand, let’s face it, people feel prettier when they have some makeup on that enhances their features. So I think doing a shoot like this requires a lot of trust.”
