From time to time, it can feel like a lot of our most beloved celebrities and historical figures are dying at the same time. It has happened so often that now people expect famous people to die in threes, even when there's no reason for that.
And while all deaths are equally sad, it's true that some of them get way more media coverage and reactions, especially in the modern internet era. Looking through history, you might notice that some figures didn't get the homages they deserved only because another, more relevant figure happened to die on the same day.
So, here are some historical deaths overshadowed by other, more important deaths.

Brad Pitt has found a surprising lesson in survival, one that has little to do with Hollywood or the physical challenges of his latest film.
As the actor reflected on the painful period surrounding his divorce from Angelina Jolie while promoting his survival thriller "Heart of the Beast," he credited the people who helped him endure it.
Filming a wilderness survival thriller also gave him a fresh perspective on navigating personal upheaval, rebuilding his footing, and taking life one small victory at a time.

For Brad Pitt, getting through life's hardest moments was not about maintaining a polished public image or pretending he could handle everything alone.

America's newest college graduates were sold the college premium. Four in 10 of them are working jobs that never needed the diploma.
About 42% of recent college graduates, ages 22 to 27, were underemployed in June, working jobs that typically don't require a bachelor's degree, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's tracker of the labor market for recent college graduates. That's up from 41.8% in May but down from 42.4% in November 2025 and below the pandemic-era high of 43.4% in October 2020.
Unemployment is the other half of the problem. Recent grads' jobless rate hit 5.7% in June, well above the 4.1% rate for all workers. That's a reversal. From 1990, when the Fed's data begins, through 2018, recent grads were more likely to be unemployed than the average worker in just eight months. They have been more likely every month since January 2021. The gap hit a record 1.8 percentage points in April 2025 and is still near it.
Some degrees fare much worse than others. Using 2024 Census data, the Fed's breakdown by college major found criminal justice had the most underemployment, at 65.8%, followed by performing arts at 63.9% and fine arts at 58.9%.
On unemployment, computer engineering was second-worst of any major at 7.8%, and computer science fourth at 7%. Education majors fared best: special education had a 0.7% jobless rate and elementary education 1.2%. Nursing was 2.1%.

Social Security provides about 30% of older Americans' household income, according to a Congressional Research Service report.
Earnings, pensions, retirement account withdrawals, and investments also contribute to older Americans' income.
Social Security's share of income rises with age, reaching about 40% among adults 80 and older.
You may envision relying on Social Security during retirement, but the data show older adults tend to depend on other income sources.
About 19% of Americans 65 and older whose households received Social Security relied on it for 90% or more of household income in 2019, according to a 2025 Congressional Research Service report. Other sources fill the gap, according to the **** ysis: earnings, pension and retirement fund payments, and income from **** ets. The report matched Social Security Administration records with survey responses and included people still working.

In a housing market where affordability is increasingly out of reach for many buyers, Vic Bulbon is looking at a type of property that's becoming less expensive: condominiums.
With national home prices near record highs and mortgage rates topping 7% in recent weeks, buying a home remains out of reach for many Americans. Condos appear to offer a rare bright spot, with prices falling across the country.
But even with cheaper sales prices, rising homeowners' **** ociation (HOA) fees and one-time special **** sments are driving up ownership costs.
Now, guidelines released this year by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored agencies that back nearly half of all US home purchases, aim to reduce the financial and structural risks of condo buildings. Real estate agents told CNN that the changes could add pressure to the condo market by further driving up HOA fees, increasing the total monthly bill for condo owners, and potentially eroding the savings of a lower purchase price.
As of mid-October, condo sales prices lagged behind single-family home prices in 99 of the 100 largest markets in the United States, according to data from financial services company Intercontinental Exchange provided to CNN. Nationally, single-family home prices rose 1.5% from a year earlier, while condo prices fell 1.1%.

Kim Kardashian was left "so mad" after her years-old feud with Paris Hilton was recently revived, her biographer has revealed.
The reality TV star's biographer shared that Kim was left fuming after she learned Paris Hilton had ghosted him.
Jonathan Van Meter, author of Kim's upcoming authorised biography Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future, revealed he had tried several times to schedule an interview with Kim's former best friend, but was repeatedly left hanging.
"Kim was so mad when I told her," Jonathan told The Hollywood Reporter of Paris's multiple cancellations. "It seemed to stir up some ancient irritation between them. The creation turning on the creator."
Paris, 45, famously introduced Kim, 46, to the world via her reality series The Simple Life.
The formerly close friends had a falling out after Kim's star ascended with the success of her own reality TV series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

With the federal budget deficit at $2 trillion and debt-interest costs topping $1 trillion a year, it may be tempting to look for extra cash under the sofa cushions.
Urgency has grown in recent months as Treasury yields have soared to the highest levels in more than 20 years, putting more pressure on interest expenses.
The Treasury Department has tried some unconventional measures recently to take the heat off yields, including buybacks of more long-dated debt and its intervention to prop up the yen that let ***** an avoid selling its Treasuries.
Given such surprises, speculation has grown around even more far-out tactics. One idea that comes up from time to time is for the Treasury Department to price its immense gold holdings at market rates.
The U.S. has the world's largest gold reserves, which total about 261.5 million ounces, or more than double what No. 2 holder Germany has. But the U.S. ***** d's official price was set by Congress in 1973 at $42.22 per ounce, and it hasn't changed since.

By most traditional measures, having a net worth of $1 million should put someone firmly in the "wealthy" category. Yet a growing number of millionaires don't see it that way.
Just one third (36%) of the nation's wealthiest citizens — those with at least $1 million in investable ***** ets — consider themselves wealthy, according to Northwestern Mutual's 2025 Planning and Progress study.
Further, nearly half (49%) of American millionaires say their financial planning needs improvement, citing the possibility of outliving their savings, the impact of taxes in retirement, and potential long-term care needs as their top financial concerns.
This gap may be surprising, but it highlights how rising costs, longer lifespans, and shifting expectations have redefined what it means to feel rich in modern America.

Suze Orman favors quality dividend-paying stocks over bonds for retirees, arguing rising dividends better protect income from inflation than fixed coupons.
A $500,000 Treasury at 4.96% yields $24,800 annually, but a dividend portfolio growing 6% yearly surpasses that income after roughly nine years.
Retirees with a spending gap should hold five years of that gap in Treasuries, TIPS, or CDs to avoid selling stocks during a downturn.

Suze Orman has spent years nudging retirees toward stocks that pay them. On her podcast episode Suze's Projections for 2026, released January 11, 2026, she described the income approach she prefers: "as time goes on and you are older and you're looking for income, dividend-paying stocks that are good quality, that pay you a good dividend along with some of your money invested purely for growth."

Round two of the Ranji Trophy 2026-27 began on Sunday with two Elite Group B sides in early trouble, and each was pulled back into its match by a batter who stayed at the crease.
Karnataka were struggling against Saurashtra at the Alur ground in Bengaluru, while Punjab were reduced to 69 for 3 against Chhattisgarh in New Chandigarh. Manvanth ******* ar delivered the bigger surprise.
The 22-year-old left-hander was playing only his second first-class match, yet he walked in with Karnataka eight down and hit 135 from number nine. Uday Saharan, the Punjab captain, was steadier but just as important, as he finished the first day unbeaten on 106.
Both matches are scheduled to run until Tuesday, October 21, and both innings have already changed the shape of the games. Karnataka were bowled out for 342 on the second day, while Punjab ended the first day on 269 for 4, a long way from where they stood early on.

Freshman libero Gabi Rodriguez added another milestone to her impressive first season as No. 19 Texas A&M defeated Auburn on Sunday.
Rodriguez recorded 16 digs and a career-high 10 **** ists, marking her first double-double in college. Her performance helped the Aggies defeat the Tigers in four sets and end a three-match losing streak.
Texas A&M needed stability in the back row after losses to Oklahoma, Arkansas and Florida. Rodriguez provided it again while becoming more involved in setting up the offense. Her 10 **** ists ranked second on the team behind Kirra Musgrove, who finished with 41.
Rodriguez has reached double-digit digs in 17 of the Aggies' 19 matches and now has 254 this season. She previously became the fastest freshman in program history to reach 200 career digs, doing it in just 16 matches.
She followed that performance by setting a career high with 21 digs against Arkansas.

The Cincinnati Bengals hit the bye at 3-2, and if you squint, you can see how this team could've been 5-0 or 1-4. A three-point loss in Pittsburgh.
A five-point loss to Jacksonville after Ja'Marr Chase left with a concussion in the first 18 minutes. Then a 31-24 win in Miami to stop the bleeding.
So who's been the one player this team can't do without? Here are the nominees.
Joe Burrow, QB: 135-of-189 (71.4%), 1,361 yards, 11 touchdowns, three interceptions, and a 104.4 passer rating. That completion percentage leads the NFL. He's done it while losing Colbie Young on the first play in Pittsburgh, Chase early against Jacksonville, and Tee Higgins late in that same game. Four touchdowns in Miami went to Mike Gesicki, Samaje Perine, Tanner Hudson and Chase. That's an MVP spreading the wealth.
Tee Higgins, WR: 27 catches for a team-high 423 yards (15.7 per catch). When Chase was out or limited, Higgins was the guy keeping defenses honest down the field.

Sunday's 18-16 home loss to the Cardinals dropped the Rams to 2-4 and continued a start that has many people scratching their heads given how high the hopes were for the team heading into the season.
Everyone ******* ociated with the team is fielding questions about why things have gone so poorly, including running back Kyren Williams. Williams was asked about why he thinks the offense has been inconsistent from drive to drive over the first six weeks and he pointed to his role in his answer.
"I can't tell you, bro," Williams said, via Adam Grosbard of the Orange County Register. "Probably because I'm not out there."
Williams played 70 percent of the snaps in the first five games and he outsnapped Blake Corum 42-16 on Sunday while fielding 13 touches to 11 for Corum. Williams' workload is in line with last season, but down from its peak in 2024 and he's seeing fewer carries than at any point since he became a starter. He was asked if he'd like to see that change in the coming weeks.
"I can't really call that. It's not on me," Williams said. "But I just think no matter what, we gotta continue to have the energy. You gotta continue to, when plays are made, be excited, be happy so we uplift not only the offense but the defense and the special teams and just being able to have that camaraderie to where we're playing off of each other and I think that's what is going to allow us to be where we want to be."

Everyone ******* ociated with the team is fielding questions about why things have gone so poorly, including running back Kyren Williams. Williams was asked about why he thinks the offense has been inconsistent from drive to drive over the first six weeks and he pointed to his role in his answer.
"I can't tell you, bro," Williams said, via Adam Grosbard of the Orange County Register. "Probably because I'm not out there."
Williams played 70 percent of the snaps in the first five games and he outsnapped Blake Corum 42-16 on Sunday while fielding 13 touches to 11 for Corum. Williams' workload is in line with last season, but down from its peak in 2024 and he's seeing fewer carries than at any point since he became a starter. He was asked if he'd like to see that change in the coming weeks.
"I can't really call that. It's not on me," Williams said. "But I just think no matter what, we gotta continue to have the energy. You gotta continue to, when plays are made, be excited, be happy so we uplift not only the offense but the defense and the special teams and just being able to have that camaraderie to where we're playing off of each other and I think that's what is going to allow us to be where we want to be."

The 2026 World Series could be set Monday night, with the Rays on the brink of advancing as they host Game 6 against the Guardians.
Tampa Bay's 3-1 win Sunday put Cleveland on the brink, needing a pair of wins at Tropicana Field to return to the Fall Classic for the first time since 2016. The Rays are trying to reach the World Series for the third time, but their most recent trip came in the COVID-shortened 2020 season when all the games were played in Arlington, Texas, so their fans mostly missed out that time.
The Rays got a brilliant pitching performance from Drew Rasmussen in Game 5 and will look for more of the same Monday with veteran Freddy Peralta on the mound. The trade-deadline acquisition started Game 2 of this series and was dominant, holding the Guardians to four hits in six scoreless innings of a 3-1 Tampa Bay win. He also pitched 2/3 of an inning in relief Saturday in Game 4.
Cleveland's pitching situation is unclear but it will be all hands on deck for Stephen Vogt as the Guardians hope their offense can get going the way it did to turn around the Division Series against the White Sox. Can they stay alive, or will the top-seeded Rays move on?

New York governor Kathy Hochul will today (Monday) launch an 88-person exploratory committee to report on the feasibility and challenges of a formal bid to host the Winter Olympic Games, according to people with knowledge of the announcement who spoke anonymously as they were not authorized to do so publicly.
The potential bid would see New York City and Lake Placid partner to host the 2042 edition.
Earlier this year, Gov. Hochul told The Athletic that "significant" meetings had taken place as she seeks to return the Winter Olympics to New York state for the first time since 1980, which is best remembered for the Miracle on Ice when the U.S. hockey team defeated the Soviet Union. Gov. Hochul, while announcing the committee today, will also announce a $2.5 million funding commitment to create a monument in Lake Placid in honor of the Miracle on Ice team.
The Lake Placid-New York City Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games Exploratory Committee will have an eight-strong leadership group, which will include Ashley Walden, the president and CEO of the Olympic Regional Development Authority, as well as representation from the offices of Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand (both Democrats), sources said. It will also include Julie Su, appointed deputy mayor for economic justice of New York City by mayor Zohran Mamdani, as well as Hope Knight, the president of Empire State Development, the New York state economic development arm.
There is a 16-member sub-committee on finance, which includes John Collins, co-owner and operating partner of the New York Islanders, and Josh Cohen, the son of New York Mets owner Steve Cohen, who works as the team's vice president of business development. Randy Levine, the owner of the New York Yankees, is one of 12 members of a legal sub-committee, which also includes Robert Landau, the executive vice-president of NBC Universal, the long-time broadcaster of the Olympics in the United States.

Cornish Pirates kept up their perfect home record as they beat Chinnor 48-24 in the Champ.
Pirates ran in seven tries as they recorded a third win from five games overall to move up to sixth place in the table.
Four tries came in the final 17 minutes of the second half as the hosts pulled away from their opponents after a "flat" 38-14 loss at Bedford last week.
"I'm really pleased," joint-head coach Gavin Cattle told BBC Radio Cornwall.
"That second half showed some maturity in terms of game control, obviously boxed quite high up the pitch, stayed in the battle despite a tricky wind and we played at the right time, we pulled the trigger at the right time.

Barcelona have largely managed to retain their superstars in recent seasons, but that has not stopped top European clubs from expressing interest in them.
As Hansi Flick's project gathers momentum, Barça could face difficult decisions over the futures of some players whose development appears to be plateauing.
Sometimes, you have to cut off an arm to save the body, and selling someone like Jules Kounde could help Barça improve.
The France international is attracting interest from across Europe, with AC Milan the latest club to explore a possible move.
According to Diario SPORT, citing Italian outlet Calciomercato, Milan are searching for an elite defender and are monitoring Kounde as an option.

It was everything the Houston Cougars envisioned when they joined the Big 12.
A ranked matchup, the program's first at TDECU Stadium since 2015. A sellout crowd of 42,544. And most importantly, a statement victory to catapult the Cougars further into the national conversation.
In front of the fourth-largest crowd in TDECU Stadium history, No. 20 Houston outlasted No. 18 Oklahoma State in an offensive shootout, earning its fourth consecutive victory and securing bowl eligibility with a 35-32 win.
"I really felt like we had a homefield advantage," Houston head coach Willie Fritz said. "They were loud and the student section I thought was outstanding. I appreciate everybody coming out and hopefully you saw what UH football is all about and also the experience here."
Houston never trailed after the first quarter, largely thanks to quarterback Conner Weigman. The rising Heisman candidate delivered arguably his finest performance in his five years of college football, bouncing back from an interception on the opening drive to throw for career-highs of 343 yards and five touchdowns. He completed 72.7 percent of attempts while consistently solving every puzzle the Oklahoma State defense threw at him.

Roma will host Slovan Bratislava tomorrow evening (9:00 PM) at the Stadio Olimpico, a match valid for the third round of the Champions League league format.
The Giallorossi are desperate to secure all three points, having started their European campaign with a draw at Fenerbahçe and a home defeat against Real Madrid.
A surprise attack is not out of the question ahead of the European night.
As La Gazzetta dello Sport reports, the possibility of seeing Castro and Malen on the pitch together is rising. Gasperini himself mentioned this after the win against Genoa.
Malen and Castro could have a chance from the start against Slovan Bratislava. The two forwards, as has been seen this season, are generally alternates.

Bears QB Caleb Williams isn't satisfied despite Tom Brady's praise appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Chicago Bears' star quarterback Caleb Williams made a winning return from injury, leading his team to another victory against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. His eye-catching performance earned high praise from NFL legend Tom Brady, but Williams himself remained far from completely satisfied with his outing.
During the broadcast, Brady expressed his belief that Williams had delivered the best performance of his professional career so far. However, when asked about Brady's ****** sment during the postgame press conference, Williams said that he still had plenty of room to improve.
"I didn't know I went 30-for-36," Williams said. "I've got to go back and watch the tape. Winning covers up things, and losing shows everything. We'll go back, be true tellers about ourselves, look in the mirror, and figure out what we need to fix and get better at."

Man United Women secured an impressive fifth consecutive win against Charlton Athletic Women on Sunday afternoon.
Goals from Ella Toone, Andrea Medina and Julia Zigiotti secured the three points for the Red Devils.
The result was significant not only because it allowed United to climb up to fifth in the WSL table, but also due to a crucial goal from Toone.
The England international's dipping effort went in underneath the crossbar and was her second goal of the season.
Nonetheless, it was her first goal of the WSL season and, incredibly, her first in the league since December last year.

In a way, the Dallas Cowboys' loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday night at home was not quite as bad a loss as what we saw on Sunday in Green Bay, at least from coach brian Schottenheimer's perspective. Sounds absurd, sure, given that the Cowboys lost to a previously winless team that was starting an undrafted rookie, Jalon Daniels, on their home field last week. But there was a chance that could be viewed as a one-off. There was a chance that could be rock bottom, and that the Cowboys could rebuild this season from there. Starting against the Packers at Lambeau Field.
Instead, what we saw on Sunday was confirmation of the worst fears that lingered from the Buccaneers game: That this team and its NFL Super Bowl aspirations had been broken in that loss, that something snapped and might not be able to be repaired. Because, though the defense played better on Sunday–after the first half, at least–the offense appeared beyond repair, a steep three-week drop that has seen Dak Prescott throw four interceptions in two games, after having thrown just four in nine games before that.
Around Cowboys media and fans, the finger of blame is increasingly turning to Schottenheimer, and calls for the team to take action are mounting.
From Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: "Believe it or not, this roster is good enough. Is it elite? No. Is it great? No. But it should be good enough, and it's nowhere close to even average. The Cowboys are on a train to nowhere, and the blame falls on the coaches leading it."
