As Australia prepares for its national day of festivities on Jan. 26, Indigenous woman Rita Wright will be protesting the celebrations at a march in Sydney. Australia Day marks the date the British fleet sailed into Sydney Harbour in 1788 to start a penal colony, viewing the land as unoccupied despite encountering settlements. For Wright, holding national celebrations on the highly sensitive date reinforces a legacy of mistreatment of Indigenous people.

Since being unveiled in 2016, Sophia - a humanoid robot - has gone viral. Hanson Robotics, based in Hong Kong, said four models, including Sophia, would start rolling out of factories in the first half of 2021, just as researchers predict the pandemic will open new opportunities for the robotics industry.

The Jets are now reportedly the team Deshaun Watson wants to join, and he's certainly left enough social media bread crumbs to make that easy to believe. He's clearly unhappy in Houston. He seems to like the Jets and their new coach, Robert Saleh. But can the 25-year-old, three-time Pro Bowl quarterback really orchestrate an escape to New York?
The Nets needed a 30-point quarter in each frame to fuel Saturday's 128-124 win over the Miami Heat, but James Harden was not much of a scoring factor. Harden netted 12 points on 2-of-8 shooting, going 0 for 5 from long range, while sinking eight free throws. Harden, however, made the most of his 38 minutes with a double-double on 11 assists. He added seven rebounds. While he could have been more efficient, in just the second game playing alongside Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, scoring is not a primary objective.
Matt LaFleur put the game in the hands of his defense instead of All-Pro quarterback Aaron Rodgers in a decision that will be questioned in Green Bay for years. With a spot in the Super Bowl on the line, LaFleur opted for a field goal on fourth-and-goal from the 8 when trailing by eight points with just over two minutes remaining in the NFC championship game. Rodgers never got the ball back in his fourth straight title game loss as Tom Brady and Tampa Bay ran out the clock in a 31-26 win Sunday.

Gold medallist pole vaulter Katerina Stefanidi, a vocal proponent for postponing the Tokyo Games last year, is backing the Games to be held this July, with or without spectators. Before the International Olympic Committee and Japanese government decided to postpone the Games last year due to fears over the coronavirus pandemic, Greece's Stefanidi accused organisers of risking athletes' safety and demanded a plan B.
