The Braves had 'em all the way. Yep, had 'em all the way. At least, that's what we'll tell ourselves whenever a scintilla of a memory of this game pops into our brains, right? It took 12 innings, a brief blip from Chris Sale, and run-scoring scrambles in the ninth, tenth, and eleventh, another huuuuge hit from Ha-Seong Kim, and finally, a walkoff rope off the bat of Drake Baldwin, but the Braves ultimately prevailed in the opener of the final series against their division rivals.
How do you recap this game? It felt like living a few different lifetimes. I guess we'll just go sequentially, but this is a game that warrants watching the highlights.
After a 45-minute weather-related delay, things got started and Sale pretty much picked up where he left off. The top of the Philadelphia order went down on a flyout and two nasty strikeouts. Aaron Nola retired the first two Braves he faced, but then Matt Olson broke a two-week homerless slide with a slice the other way that juuust managed not to go foul and instead became his 38th longball of the year. A homer from the recently homer-shy Braves offense seemed to be an auspicious sign, but things quickly took a turn for the worse.
After the first two outs of the eighth, Edmundo Sosa caught a Sale slider and yanked it for a single. Sale then issued a rare walk to Bryan De La Cruz of all people, and then hit J.T. Realmuto with the next pitch, loading the bases.

Biohaven (BHVN) stock plummeted Thursday after the company paused enrollment in a midstage study of its seizure treatment due to safety concerns.
The Food and Drug Administration is now requiring Biohaven to ***** s the potential for human toxicity from a metabolite in the drug, opakalim. Opakalim is in testing as a treatment for focal onset seizures. But, in rats, it proved toxic.
Dosing is still ongoing. But the rodent toxicity setback likely delays potential regulatory approval. That's a boon for Xenon Pharmaceuticals (XENE), which is in late-stage testing with its drug, azetukalner. Both drugs work by opening potassium channels in the nervous system to calm overactive brain cells.
On the stock market today, Biohaven stock dropped 14.7% to 12.79. Shares fell below their 21-day and 50-day moving averages on the news, MarketSurge shows. Xenon stock slid a fraction to 58.80.
To ask for FDA approval, Biohaven will need the results of studies called RISE-2 and RISE-3. The hold was placed on the former, but the latter is still ongoing. The company expects to have the results from RISE-3 later this year.

The European Central Bank (ECB) on Thursday raised its three key interest rates by 25 basis points, lifting the deposit facility rate to 2.50%, the main refinancing rate to 2.65%, and the marginal lending facility rate to 2.90%, effective September 16.
The unanimous decision, which ECB President Christine Lagarde called a "no brainer," marks the ECB's second rate hike of 2026 following its June increase. The move comes directly in response to persistent inflation pressures generated by the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict, which has disrupted energy shipments through the Strait of Hormuz and sent oil prices (CLV26) back above $100 per barrel.

Mike McFarland, who lent his voice to many classic anime, died Wednesday after a battle with brain cancer. He was 56.
McFarland is known to anime fans as the voice actor for "Dragon Ball Z" characters like Master Roshi and Yajirobe and the "One Piece"character Buggy the Clown. His work was impressively robust. He also famously voiced a pair of Jeans – Jean Kirstein in "Attack on ****** an" and Jean Havoc in "Fullmetal Alchemist" – along with Teppei Sugo in "Psycho-Pass" and Tecchin Tecchikawahara in "Demon Slayer."
"Mike brought so much to all of us who knew him, and to all of the anime fans that knew his work," anime streaming service Crunchyroll said in a statement regarding McFarland's death. "He was an incredible talent, a good friend to so many of us and will be sorely, sorely missed."
McFarland had diagnosed with a brain tumor several years ago. Fellow voice actors J. Michael Tatum and Brandon McInnis started a GoFundMe back in August 2025 to help McFarland pay for a live-in medical ****** istant after he underwent surgery for aggressive glioblastoma.
"Mike McFarland, my dear friend and mentor of over 20 years, is gone," Tatum posted. "A rarer, more beautiful soul this world will never know. Rest in peace, Salt. The love you created endures, but ****** ed if I know how we'll get on without you around to share it back with."

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been the artificial intelligence (AI) chip company leading this technology revolution so far. This is for two reasons: The company got in on the ******* e early, and its commitment to innovation has kept it in the top spot. And investors, excited about Nvidia's soaring earnings, have piled into the stock, seen as a no-brainer AI winner.
These days, however, Nvidia isn't the only chip company positioned to benefit from the AI market, one on track to reach into the trillions of dollars. In fact, another player is making significant progress, and this player is Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD).
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Over time, AMD has become a leader in central processing units (CPUs), the chips that power computers, but in recent quarters, the company is proving its strength in AI chips too -- and investors have recognized it. So far this year, AMD stock is outperforming Nvidia. Now, my prediction is AMD stock could outrun Nvidia over the next three years -- here's the bull case.
So, first, a bit of background. As mentioned, Nvidia entered this market early and began tailoring its graphics processing units (GPUs) to suit AI about a decade ago. Over the past few years, revenue has taken a tremendous leap as sales of AI chip systems soared. For example, in the second quarter three years ago, revenue came in at $13 billion -- in the recently completed second quarter, that number reached $96 billion.

Christy Knowings died from cardiac arrest brought on by complications from asthma, according to a newly obtained death certificate. The former All That star died August 11 at a Los Angeles hospital, four days after a severe asthma attack reportedly left her with brain damage. She was 46.
The document, obtained by People on Sept. 2, identifies cardiac arrest as Knowings' immediate cause of death. Acute hypoxic respiratory failure—a life-threatening condition caused by insufficient oxygen—and status asthmaticus were listed among the conditions that led to her death. Asthma was named as the underlying cause.

A family member previously said that Knowings was hospitalized after suffering the asthma attack on August 7 and placed on life support. Her family made the decision to remove her from life support on August 11, and she died later that day.
A GoFundMe was established to help her parents cover mortuary and funeral costs. Knowings was remembered as "a compassionate, bright light whose warmth, kindness, and humor touched every life she encountered."

It's been a busy last twelve months for Craig Carton. Following the cancellation of his FS1 program, Breakfast Ball, in July, many speculated about where Carton's path would lead after his network television debut. The results of that journey to today shouldn't be surprising.
First, Carton remained a partner with FOX and worked with Red Seat Ventures to develop a one-hour daily program **** led The Craig Carton Show. His return to WFAN followed, with the official announcement coming in early December. Earlier this year, Carton added another layer to his growing media presence by teaming with Lil Wayne for The Joint Venture podcast. Beginning today, Carton elevates that initial project by bringing The Craig Carton Show to a rebranded and growing OutKick digital platform.
"I have been a frequent guest on OutKick as well as FOX News. So, there's some familiarity that I have with them, and they have with me," said Carton about the early discussions surrounding bringing The Craig Carton Show to OutKick. "I was a guest with Dan [Dakich] about six months ago. Afterwards, they reached out and inquired about my deal with FOX expiring. The interest was mutual."
With Carton's FOX contract coming to an end earlier this summer, the network made an offer to keep him in tow along with The Craig Carton Show podcast. However, the network allowed Carton to retain the podcast and shop it around to other distributors outside of his prior arrangement with SportsGrid.
"I had the ability to go look for other partners, but they [OutKick] had an interest in me. It sort of came together at the same time. I have great respect for FOX as a company. They've been great to me on the sports side. Then to take that and evolve our relationship under the FOX News umbrella was a no-brainer," explained Carton, who co-owns the IP for The Craig Carton Show with FOX. "We're partners in every sense of the word."

Over a decade later, one of the most shocking moves in NBA history still requires a lot of brain power to process. Kevin Durant's decision to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Golden State Warriors in 2016 is one of those history-altering events whose ripple effects can still be felt today.
After giving up a 3-1 series lead in the 2016 Western Conference Finals, Durant joined the arch-rivals to team up with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. That quartet of first-ballot Hall-of-Famers made the following couple of years skippable as they cruised their way to back-to-back NBA championships.
You know the story by now. The Thunder went all in to keep Durant. And despite their organizational pleas and pitches, it wasn't enough to convince the NBA superstar to stick around and run it back. His exit took a decade to get over as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander helped heal the scars with a Larry O'Brien trophy in 2025.
In one of an endless supply of perspectives on Durant's decision, Dion Waiters weighed in with his two cents. He appeared on the 'Real Talk with MJ' podcast in Oct. 2024 to reflect on his exit and how it affected the role player's next move as he signed a last-resort one-year deal with the Miami Heat in the aftermath.
"We was in the WCF up 3-1 against Golden State. Tricked it off, bro. We're supposed to went to the Finals against Cleveland," Waiters said. "I feel like we would've beaten Cleveland. We just messed up at the right time, bro."

ATLANTA — Whenever Baylor has to make the ultimate call on Dave Aranda, it is unlikely to be clear-cut. He is too competent to crater and too well-liked to author his own demise, working at a school that would prefer not to buy out a football coach unless it has to.
But it is not a secret, least of all to Aranda, that his seventh season will be defined by decisions: The little ones he makes every week, followed by the big one his employer must render.
After the first of 12 data points is now in the rear-view mirror, it's imperative to start thinking about the question that can bring some of these fine margins into leader focus: How much credit does a coach get for doing the right thing but getting the wrong result?
Though perhaps not every fan would agree, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone within the Baylor program who disagreed with Aranda's decision to go for two and a victory over Auburn on Saturday night after his quarterback, DJ Lagway, fought through an ankle sprain and threw a touchdown pass with nine seconds remaining.
Analytically, it was the right call. Emotionally, it was a risk worth taking. Practically, it was a no-brainer.

AMC Entertainment (NYSE: AMC) is an interesting stock. For a while, in 2021, it was a "meme stock," often in the news and surging more than 1,100% that year to more than $600 per share. The next years were different, with shares crashing 85%, 85%, 35%, and 61% in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively. Altogether, that's more than a 99% decline. Ouch!

So far, 2026 has been quite different, with shares up about 63% (as of Sept. 4). Still, they were recently trading for $2.67 apiece. In other words, AMC Entertainment's shares are firmly in penny-stock territory. Should you buy shares now, while they're below $3? Maybe.
Penny stocks are notoriously volatile and risky, often tied to young, unproven companies, and occasionally hyped online. They're generally to be avoided. But AMC Entertainment, while definitely not a no-brainer, blue chip stock, is not a typical penny stock. Its market value was recently $2.4 billion, for example. Its last earnings report, for its second quarter, featured revenue of $1.6 billion, up 14% year over year.

PayPal (PYPL) trades at 9.8 times earnings while the S&P 500 trades at 23.2. The profitability underneath is ordinary: an 18.4% operating margin against 18.5% for the market. The discount is not about whether the company makes money. It is about what each dollar it moves is worth.
Why Does PayPal Take In Less On Every Dollar It Moves?
In fiscal Q2 2026 the company moved $486 billion of payment volume, up 9% on a currency-neutral basis. Revenue on the same basis grew 3%. The transaction take rate fell 7 basis points to 1.61%, and by the company's own account the drop came from branded co-marketing investments and mix dynamics, including faster Venmo growth.
The PayPal ***** on itself, branded checkout, grew 2% currency-neutral for a second straight quarter. Venmo and Braintree both grew in the mid-teens. The growth is real, and it is arriving through the doors that pay less.
Who Is Bringing PayPal That Volume Now?

Palladyne AI reported headline growth that looks dramatic: second-quarter revenue rose 470% year over year and 63% sequentially to $5.783 million. Palladyne AI Corp. (NASDAQ:PDYN) ended June with $24.6 million of backlog, up 43% during the quarter after roughly $13 million of new contract awards, net of revenue recognized. Management expects most of that backlog to become revenue over the next 12 to 18 months and reiterated 2026 revenue guidance of $24 million to $27 million, or 357% to 415% growth.
Copyright: ralwel / 123RF Stock Photo
The comparison needs an important qualification. Palladyne said the increase came from acquisitions as well as organic growth. Its 10-Q says second-quarter product revenue was derived mainly from businesses acquired in November 2025, while engineering-services revenue came from one acquired business. Revenue consisted of hardware products, development contracts, and engineering services; the filing explicitly says Palladyne had generated no software-product revenue to date. The quarter therefore does not yet demonstrate scaled sales of its proprietary autonomy software.
The bull case is that backlog and defense awards provide a bridge to that commercialization. Programs involving SwarmOS, Gremlin-X, BRAIN flight computers, and Air Force development work may deepen customer relationships. But award values do not become revenue immediately, and fixed-price development work can produce weak margins if actual costs exceed estimates. Palladyne separately put total estimated contract value at $30.9 million, but that broader figure includes unexercised options and should not be confused with firm backlog.
The loss profile remains severe. Operating loss widened to $13.413 million from $8.094 million a year earlier, and net loss reached $12.326 million. Palladyne held $33.774 million of cash and equivalents plus $9.972 million of marketable securities, totaling $43.746 million. Its reiterated full-year operating-cash-burn outlook was $32 million to $36 million; the company defines that measure as operating cash used plus capital expenditures.

Programs involving SwarmOS, Gremlin-X, BRAIN flight computers, and Air Force development work may deepen customer relationships. But award values do not become revenue immediately, and fixed-price development work can produce weak margins if actual costs exceed estimates. Palladyne separately put total estimated contract value at $30.9 million, but that broader figure includes unexercised options and should not be confused with firm backlog.
The loss profile remains severe. Operating loss widened to $13.413 million from $8.094 million a year earlier, and net loss reached $12.326 million. Palladyne held $33.774 million of cash and equivalents plus $9.972 million of marketable securities, totaling $43.746 million. Its reiterated full-year operating-cash-burn outlook was $32 million to $36 million; the company defines that measure as operating cash used plus capital expenditures.

Kate Beckinsale has compared navigating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to living in "hell".
Returning to Instagram on Wednesday, the Serendipity actress opened up about the mental health condition, which a person can experience after witnessing a terrifying or traumatic event.
"(There are men, women and children all around the world) who have seen such absolute horror or experienced such absolute horror that their nervous system is permanently altered as a result," she began. "A lot of those people become incredibly good at masking it, and it's sad because they become so good that they get no grace whatsoever. They get up, they go to work, they provide for their family."
Beckinsale did not specify whether she has been diagnosed with PTSD. However, she urged her 5.3 million followers to be considerate of those who may be dealing with trauma.
"Given the fact that it's invisible and you can't know, maybe err on being on the gentler side with people, being kinder with people," the 53-year-old mused. "It really is true that if you haven't walked a mile in someone's shoes - however fancy you feel the shoes are - you have absolutely no idea what they may be carrying or masking or dealing with day and night."
In addition, Beckinsale claimed that research into PTSD and the female brain has only "begun to be studied in the last six, seven years".

The actor and comedian, who was 46, died from a cardiac arrest on 11 August.

Sacks are among the most detrimental occurrences to an NFL offense. From 2020-2024, a drive's odds of scoring plummeted from 41.2% to 23.3% if just one sack occurred on that drive.
Similarly, the average points per drive fell from 2.26 to just 1.03.
Thus, an offense's and quarterback's ability to avoid these sacks and mitigate the losses when they do occur can be the factor that determines wins and losses.
The 2025 Tennessee ***** ans, for instance, lost 128 expected points to sacks last season, whereas the Denver Broncos lost just 39.04.
While it is a no-brainer that offensive line play has a massive impact on how often a quarterback is pressured and, thus sacked, a quarterback's ability to avoid sacks has just as big an impact.

Joe Amabile paid a heartfelt tribute to his wife, Serena Pitt, on their anniversary as he continues to recover from brain tumor surgery. The former Bachelor in Paradise star praised his wife for supporting him through both the good and the difficult moments.
Joe, who became known as Grocery Store Joe during Season 14 of The Bachelorette, marked their three-year anniversary with a special post on September 2. The 40-year-old wrote on Instagram that Pitt is "the most beautiful, caring, perfect" person. "These past few months have been pretty tough, to say the least. You have been there with me every single step of the way, taking in all the good and the bad news. You cried alone in our bedroom because you didn't want to bring me down," the Dancing With the Stars alum expressed.
Continuing his post, Joe praised Serena for standing by him throughout his recovery. He said she took care of everything from cooking and cleaning to attending his doctor's appointments. She also managed his medications and woke up with him in the middle of the night. Joe said he felt incredibly lucky to have Serena as his wife, partner, and best friend. He ended the heartfelt message by telling her he loved her "forever and always."
Joe and Serena got engaged on Bachelor in Paradise season 7 in 2021. They first tied the knot at a New York City courthouse on October 27, 2022. They held a second, larger wedding celebration with loved ones in Charleston on September 2, 2023.
The former reality star first revealed the diagnosis on July 13 in an Instagram video. He said a full-body MRI scan through Prenuvo led doctors to discover an early-stage glioma. He explained that he later underwent a brain MRI. The scan showed a blueberry-sized lesion in his brain that appeared to be a glioma, which is a type of tumor.

Sept. 2 (UPI) -- The Minnesota Vikings agreed to sign free agent defender Kyle Van Noy.
Sources told the Minnesota Star Tribune, The Athletic and the Ringer about the pact Tuesday night. Van Noy spent the last three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens.
The 12-year veteran totaled a career-high 12.5 sacks, with 14 tackles for a loss, two passes defensed, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over 16 appearances for the Ravens in 2024, en route to Pro Bowl honors. He totaled four tackles for a loss, two sacks, four passes defensed and an interception over 15 appearances last season.
Van Noy will bring depth to the Vikings' edge rusher group, which lost Jonathan Greenard through an off-season trade to the Philadelphia Eagles and Tyler Batty to an ACL tear in their preseason finale.
Van Noy is expected to play behind Dallas Turner and Andrew Van Ginkel, who played with him in 2020 under former Miami Dolphins coach Brain Flores -- the Vikings' defensive coordinator. Chaz Chambliss and Bo Richter are the other outside linebackers on the Vikings roster.

Since former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Joe Milton III is now available, the Cleveland Browns might be interested in signing him. This may not be good news for Shedeur Sanders if Browns reporter Jared Mueller is to be believed.
Giants Lineman Explodes Over Shedeur Sanders' 'joke' Pro Bowl Selection (Imagn Image)
Bringing in Milton will likely mean that either Sanders, Dillon Gabriel or the rookie, Taylen Green, will have to leave, because having five quarterbacks is a non-brainer. Even four quarterbacks, which the Browns currently have on their roster, is too much.
Since Milton has experience and Green is a rookie, Sanders is the most likely player to be let go if Milton is signed as per Mueller.
"Whatever you think about Sanders' talent, last year he lost a quarterback competition to the aged Joe Flacco and the undersized Gabriel," Mueller writes. "All three played poorly in 2025. Then, this year with a new coaching staff and added talent around him, Sanders lost a quarterback competition to Deshaun Watson, who hasn't been good for half a decade and is coming off missing a year and a half of football. None of that screams that the Cleveland organization is high on Sanders."

It is quite the thing you know, no matter how we look at it cats do have quite the significant amount of control over our lives. Sure they might not actively be able to influence our decisions but in their sneaky subversive ways they are more than capable of controlling what we do in many areas of our lives.
Say for example your cat does not like a particular piece of furniture in your home, there is little you can do to stop your crazy cat child from ripping it to shreds, forcing you to buy a new one. Another example could be if you bring home a significant other to meet your cat. If your cat does not approve then we all know what will happen to the SO who has been hissed at. So you have to wonder in what ways did the cats of these celebrities influence their decisions and shape them to be the influential figures that they have become.
Now this one we were both delighted to see and also a little disappointed at the same time. Mainly because Mads Mikkelsen has spent much of his career playing the bad guy, the villain and most notably perhaps one of James Bond's most fierce enemies. Which would make him the purrfect typecast to be a supervillain who owns a cat who is just as evil as he is. But that is not fair at all to cat kind who have had to fend off their evil and sinister reputation since the days of the witches. Not that it is not totally true that they have a little evil streak, but it hurts the feline image if that is all that people think of them…
Elvis might have sung about a hound dog, but it is a cool cat that helped him come up with all those brilliant ideas it seems. Especially if this is how they spent their writing sessions. It has been suggested many times throughout history that cats have some sort of brainwashing ability. And if this image is anything to go by, the peculiar position that this cat is perched in sure does make you wonder if it is feeding the king of rock n roll some lyrical ideas. Heck, it might explain why the hound dog song was so derogatory towards dogs you know…

Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) sit side by side in many artificial intelligence (AI) hardware conversations, yet the market makes it clear they are not the same kind of stock. Broadcom looks like a cash-rich infrastructure utility. AMD looks more like a leveraged bet on a shift in which players will supply the brains of data centers. That difference, more than any single metric, is what their valuations are signaling.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Broadcom's AI business is built around selling high-speed networking equipment and designing custom accelerators for hyperscalers that want their own bespoke silicon. It co-designs application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for customers such as Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta Platforms.
Each of these chips is narrowly built for the specific model mix and power envelope of the buyer, in contrast to the general-purpose GPUs sold by AMD, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), and others. Because of this, ASICs can be more efficient and less costly to use than GPUs for the precise types of workloads they are designed for.
Those ASIC programs are large. Broadcom's AI semiconductor revenue sits near $8.4 billion per quarter, with a disclosed AI chip backlog of around $73 billion, and management is now talking about a line of sight to more than $100 billion in AI revenue in 2027. Custom ASIC servers are on track to reach about 27.8% of AI server shipments in 2026, with ASIC sales volumes growing 44.6% year over year, well ahead of the growth pace of merchant GPUs.

Jamie Foxx is reflecting on surviving a life-threatening brain bleed that led to a stroke in April 2023, suggesting he had some questions for God at the time.
"I was talking to him," said the Oscar winner, 58, gesturing toward the sky on a recent episode of "Baby, This Is Keke Palmer." "This is me, bro. I put the smiles on people's faces. Why me? Look at all these bad people out here."

Aug. 31—ST. LOUIS — USD and SDSU took four of the five player of the week honors in the Missouri Valley Football Conference's opening slate.
Coyotes quarterback Austyn Modrzewski was a no-brainer for offensive player of the week and newcomer of the week after his historic college debut. The freshman from Colorado completed 16-of-20 passes for 304 yards and a school-record-tying six touchdown passes while also rushing for 81 yards including a 68-yard touchdown in USD's 59-20 win over Central Connecticut State on Saturday in Vermillion. He also earned STATS national freshman of the week for his efforts.
A pair of Jackrabbits were also honored, as linebacker Chase Van Tol was named Valley defensive player of the week and tackle Quinten Christensen was given offensive lineman of the week.
Van Tol, a Tea Area product, had two tackles and two fumble recoveries as well as a pass breakup in the Jacks' 70-7 win over Stetson, while Christensen, a senior from Wessington Springs, earned a 95 percent grade with eight knockdowns in 37 offensive snaps against the Hatters.
Illinois State's Hayden Futch was named special teams player of the week after the Redbirds punter averaged 66 yards per kick in their win over Saint Francis.

Kelley Wolf has opened up about the circumstances that lead to a court-issued restraining order against her last August, following an attempt to enter the home of her ex-husband, actor Scott Wolf.
In an Aug. 29 Instagram statement, the "Real World: New Orleans" alum explained that after a year spent working with a team of professionals—including doctors, therapists, psychologists, and healers—she has answers surrounding the situation that left her banned from contacting the three children she shares with Scott: Jackson, 17, Miller, 13, and Lucy, 12.
"It's been a year since I recognized what everyone around me could see: I was not well, and I needed help," Kelley wrote.
The 49-year-old podcast host went on to describe her mental health at the time.
"I felt like my brain had been hijacked, and the world was moving at the speed of a freight train," the mom of three continued. "It turns out that is exactly what happened, but I didn't know it."

Mel Gibson has come under fire after mocking an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter during a Fan Expo Canada panel over the weekend.
Page Six reported that the Braveheart actor walked on stage, waved at the crowd, and then mimicked the interpreter's signs. The clip has now gone viral with people calling his behavior "bonkers," "despicable," and "gross."
"This choice is bonkers to me. *interpreter just doing their job, people clapping for you, positive vibes* Mel Gibson: *makes fun of ASL interpreter for no reason at all* What dysfunction causes a brain to need to be casually cruel for no reason?" one social media user wrote via X.
After the clip was widely circulated, the Oscar winner issued an apology for his behavior at "the largest comics, sci-fi, horror, anime and gaming event in Canada."

Kelley Wolf apologized to her ex-husband, actor Scott Wolf, saying she experienced "breakthrough drug-induced mania with psychosis," as she believed she was in the CIA and running for president.

Kelley, who rose to fame on 2000's "The Real World: New Orleans," said she was "completely delusional" for a time and her "breakthrough drug-induced mania with psychosis," was caused by "stress, past trauma, hormonal shifts, and hallucinogens mixed with prescribed medications."

Hormone therapy may protect a woman's aging brain, but timing is critical.
Experts agree the "window of opportunity" for HRT is typically in the late 40s or early 50s.
"Early intervention promotes and sustains brain health," neuroscientist Roberta Brinton said.
Get in there early. That seems to be the growing consensus around hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for women.
New study data suggests that middle-aged women could use these treatments to protect their brains, contradicting old concerns about a potential dementia risk.
