When Uzbek authorities detained several online activists in September, blogger Davronbek Tojialiyev packed some clothes in a bag and waited for the knock on his door.
Austria will follow the United States and Hungary in backing out of a United Nations pact on migration over concerns that it will blur the line between legal and illegal migration, the right-wing government told media on Wednesday.

The baby Jesus in Italian sculptor Luca della Robbia’s "Madonna and Child with Scroll" is surprisingly…sassy. Wrapped in his placid mother’s arms, he even seems to be serving a “girl, please” side-eye. His whole figure is full of personality and detail; his baby hands and ears, though porcelain, look chubby enough to bite. Up close — very up close — he even has baby teeth.
On October 4, Joe Coscia, Jr., the Metropolitan Museum of Art's quiet but devoted chief photographer, undertook the task of capturing the Madonna, and her child with their scroll, digitally.
“How often do you get to photograph a della Robbia?” Coscia said while he worked. “Maybe once in a lifetime — twice if you’re lucky.” Read more...

It's Troll Week on Mashable. Join us as we explore the good, the bad, and the ugly of internet trolling.
It may seem counterintuitive, but it's possible for trolling to reach an art form — think subtle and even sublime — especially when it happens via Wikipedia, the internet's open-source encyclopedia.
In fact, Wikipedia vandalism has become so prevalent that the site's many editors are on constant notice for it, ready to erase these moments of altered history as quickly as they go up.

But thanks to Wikipedia's deep trove of version histories and the beauty of screenshots, many of these changes live on forever. They bring us joy and laughter when we need it most ... which, these days, is a lot. Read more...

The Office has been off the air since 2013, but to this day fans are still uncovering hilarious easter eggs hidden in the show.
The latest discovery, recently shared to r/DunderMifflin, was found in "Garage Sale," Episode 19 of Season 7 of the series.
In the episode, the office and warehouse crew gather together to host a public garage sale. But as Reddit user u/kiiirsten points out with a screenshot, one of the items Michael attempted to sell was a glorious nod to a fan-favorite episode: "Dinner Party."
Michael's garage sale table featured many treasures — from his neon beer girl sign and a Slip 'N Slide, to a tambourine, a festive hat, and more. But as the still shot below shows, he also tried to sell HIS BROKEN PLASMA TV. Read more...

My poor, sweet angel boy. What did they do to you?
American Horror Story: Apocalypse Episode 7 had a lot going on. We finally discovered what happened to our beloved Nan, Cordelia burned the bridge with Papa Legba, the coven held a fabulously fashionable triple execution, and Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt was shockingly useful.
And yet, none of these ridiculous developments compare to the big reveal that came via promo for Episode 8.
Brace yourselves. The news is mixed.
The good: Evan Peters is getting a fourth character to play and Billy Eichner is getting his second. (Actors have been taking on multiple roles all season.) Read more...

As much as the cooler weather totally makes us want to just cozy up and order endless amounts of takeout, let's take a second to be responsible adults and remember: health is important.

At first glance, Ralph Breaks the Internet doesn't really register as a princess movie.
But in fact, Vanellope von Schweetz is herself a Disney princess – and in a crucial scene already making the rounds, she gets a chance to meet all the other Disney princesses and befriend them.
It's a lighthearted moment, and a pleasantly shocking one. Not only do the Disney princesses lounge around in their comfy clothes and bond over their shared traumas (turns out a lot of them have been kidnapped or enslaved!), they crack knowing jokes at their own expense. Read more...

Apple released watchOS 5.1 on Tuesday alongside a major software update for iOS, but it's already been pulled.
The decision came following a handful of reports of bricked Apple Watches on Twitter and reddit, with users reporting that their devices were stuck on the Apple logo while booting up.
Apple confirmed the issue, and said that it's working on a fix in a statement provided to CNET.

Ariana Grande is super into Halloween, haunted houses, and escape rooms, so James Corden invited the pop star to a combination of the three.
As an addition to The Late Late Show's "Carpool Karaoke" segment with Grande, Corden decided to book a session at 60OUT Escape Rooms in Los Angeles, picking the horror themed room.
It looks downright terrifying, and Grande spends the entire time being understandably beside herself.
“That’s not an escape room, that’s one of the seven gates to hell,” she said.
At least know we know how she injured her hand — running away from whatever the hell that is in the clip. Read more...

What do the original cast of Sabrina the Teenage Witch think of Netflix's new series? You're about to find out.
For a new series promo video by Netflix, Melissa Joan Hart, who played our heroine Sabrina in the '90s TV series, is joined by the delightful Nate Richert, who played Harvey, to watch Chilling Adventures of Sabrina for the first time.
Meanwhile, Caroline Rhea and Beth Broderick, boss aunts Hilda and Zelda respectively, also tuned in. And they had quite a few things to say.
"This is not our Sabrina!" said Rhea. "We would have never allowed Sabrina to behave that way," added Broderick, although Rhea says she likes the new "political ... empowered" Sabrina. Read more...

You've likely been flooded with information about the newest rap feud brewing between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj.
The beef hit a flashpoint in September when Cardi B threw a shoe at Nicki Minaj during New York Fashion Week, and tempers have been hot ever since.
But what do our elders have to say about it all? Jimmy Kimmel went down to a farmer's market to ask our most experienced for advice. The response is suitably less than enthusiastic, which is fair enough TBH. Read more...
