Britney Spears Returns to Instagram After Guilty Plea in DUI Case

Britney Spears returned to Instagram this week after a rough start to the year.

Spears was charged with DUI in March and later pleaded guilty to wet reckless driving in exchange for dropping the DUI charge. She received fines, 12 months of probation, time served and must complete a DUI course. The plea is standard for defendants with no prior DUI history, no crash or injury, and a low blood-alcohol level.

Spears posted a message that read "Brighter Days!!!" The post marked her return to social media after several difficult months.

College baseball season is heating up ahead of conference tournaments this weekend and the selection show on Monday. In the SEC opener, Vanderbilt faced Kentucky.

One Vanderbilt pitcher drew attention for screaming after an 89 mph fastball that was called a strike. Some fans blamed travel ball culture for the reaction. In another game, an LSU player showed similar behavior.

The Automated Ball-Strike system made its debut in the SEC tournament. One pitch called a strike by the system appeared well outside the zone.

A viral tweet sparked discussion about a common nightmare. Many people reported dreaming they show up to a class on exam day without having attended all semester. The writer said the dream occurs every few months and leaves them panicked about failing.

Golfer Charley Hull switched from cigarettes to nicotine pouches on the course. She became the second woman this month to adopt the habit, following NASCAR driver Natalie Decker.
