SAN ANTONIO — The Nets are tanking this season in hopes of landing a transformational talent in next year’s draft. They didn’t have far to look to see just what that can do for a franchise. The scoreline will say the Nets lost 118-107 to the Spurs at the Frost Bank Center. But really, they lost to Victor Wembanyama and Dylan Harper. Once again, the Nets dug themselves a huge hole — this time 26 points — before storming back to take a fourth-quarter lead. But they couldn’t hold it. Nets guard Cam Thomas, center, drives against San Antonio Spurs…

An American YouTuber is raising a holy stink after he filmed a dung-flinging ritual in a remote Indian village. Tyler Oliveira, 25, shared a teaser clip titled “Inside India’s Poop-Throwing Festival,” where it quickly piled up more than 5 million views. But the video, taken at the Gorehabba festival, in which villagers hurl dried cow dung at each other as part of a post-Diwali Hindu tradition, was criticized for ignoring the significance behind the smelly stunt. American YouTuber Tyler Oliveira has come under fire after previewing a video where he attends a “poop-throwing” festival in India. @tyleraloevera/X In another post, he shared…

Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo have been attached ever since they were drafted by the Giants — Dart in the first round, Skattebo in the fourth — earlier this season. And their bond only grew when the rookie duo helped give the Giants a spark once Dart took over the starting quarterback spot following an 0-3 start to the season. So it was no surprise to see Dart’s emotional reaction to Skattebo going down with an apparently serious right ankle injury when he was hit while attempting to make a catch in the second quarter Sunday against the Eagles in…

Family estrangement is often misunderstood and stigmatized, leaving many who’ve chosen it hesitant to share their experiences with others. When they can talk, they choose safe and capable people to engage with. Would you like to be one of these people? If so, consider the following guidance. Do Not Focus on Your Beliefs Avoid saying: “But they’re your family.” “Family is everything.” “You only get one father/mother/grandparent.” Someone who has chosen estrangement does not need to hear your thoughts or feelings about family. They have heard it before from others or society, and yet they are estranged. Instead, consider being…

The Bengals paid tribute to late Jets great Nick Mangold on Sunday ahead of the team’s Week 8 home clash against Gang Green.

The father of a 12-year-old girl “died of grief” after his daughter was kidnapped, raped, tortured and then beheaded in France by a sadistic Algerian migrant, the girl’s mother told a court. Lola Daviet’s body was found horrifically mutilated and partially decapitated in a suitcase after she was murdered in 2022 — in a case that shocked the nation and sparked protests over lax immigration enforcement.

This is Part 3 of a series on breaking free from doomscrolling. Read Part 1 here and Part 2 here. Co-authored by Alicia del Prado and Bette Maisel When we slow down enough to truly notice, everyday life reveals quiet moments of wonder. A child’s gleeful laughter, the rhythm of a shared meal, or the gleam of sunlight on a playground fountain—these are the small, unfiltered joys of being alive. But in this technological age, these moments are often interrupted. We reach instinctively for our phones, eager to capture or share rather than simply feel. These small shifts in attention…
