The kerfuffle began with a social media post by Colin Allred, a former NFL player who served in Congress for six years before unsuccessfully challenging Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in the 2024 election. Hey [James Talarico], Allred wrote along with a waving hand emoji, don't come for me unless I send for you. In the attached video, Allred excoriated Talarico for allegedly calling him a mediocre Black man in a conversation about Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX).
One of the more distinctive, recent sounds in country music comes from Stephen Wilson Jr., according to our rock critic Ken Tucker. Recently nominated as best new artist by the Country Music Awards, Wilson is a former microbiologist who is also a Golden Gloves boxer, who's also, says Ken, writing some of the most intricate and compelling songs around these days. And he's broken through not with huge record sales, but viral clips on social media.
"Me and my girlfriend went on color hunting in Berlin this weekend," user Erikas Mališauskas shared on X. "We picked two random colors and had to make a 3×3 photo grid featuring that color. I got yellow, she got blue, here's the result." Commenters rallied together in agreement, saying how good of an idea this is.
Donna Cochran had boxed up nearly every room in her Atlanta, Georgia, home - except one. The space belonged to her late daughter, Ansley, and it remained exactly as it had the day Ansley left it, with journals, jewelry and drawers filled with the cozy clothes she loved to wear. Ansley died in 2018 at 21, after a 19-year battle with neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer. What Cochran could not yet bring herself to dismantle was not a bedroom, but a life.
But to seize control of this island, which is an autonomous territory within the kingdom of Denmark, Trump would not have to deploy an aircraft carrier, fighter jets or Delta Commandos. He could perhaps arrange a strategic marriage between his youngest son, 19-year-old Barron, and Denmark's Princess Isabella, who turned 18 in April. The princess, in turn, could offer Greenland as a dowry.
The poster then went on to make a series of claims about the exploitation of both workers and customers at the unnamed company. Delivery drivers, they said, were called "human assets" by project managers working to "squeeze another 0.4% of margin" out of them. They were ranked according to a "desperation score," and had their wages stolen by using "predictive modeling to dynamically lower the base pay." Customers were being scammed by the app's priority-delivery function, which was actually just a "psychological value-add."
She had been out to dinner - on a party bus! - with other moms for a good friend's 40th birthday party. In the meantime, the kids had a ball with their "hands-on 'Super Dad,'" Stephanie explains. Nick took the kids - Gwen, 10-year-old Clayton and 3-year-old Penelope - out for dinner, milkshakes and a movie. Gwen wrote about discovering her mom back home in the morning. "When I awoke, I was shocked!"
Ask any person who has been pregnant, and they'll tell you the cravings are a doozy. Sometimes the cravings make sense. Sometimes they don't. Sometimes you feel like you need it RIGHT NOW. Sometimes the urge goes away just as quickly as it came on. And the best thing any good partner can do is to just go with it.
'You know your kids love you but you don't see them talk about you,' Katz, whose daughters are 10 and 12, tells TODAY.com. 'The space between you and your child when you send them to preschool for the first time just feels so wide, and you're just hoping that they're OK. Getting to be on the other side of it and seeing how much love these kids have for their parents ... I had no idea. You don't see.'
I never thought I'd be nostalgic for that period in the first Donald Trump administration when everyone decided it was the height of humor to joke about Trump's "love affair" with Vladimir Putin. It was hacky and homophobic, and yet it was also more innocent than the current joke of the moment, which involves the infinitely more disturbing image of Trump performing fellatio on former President Bill Clinton. Yes, this is where we've arrived.
Mamdani's campaign seemed (and continues to seem) something out of a Parks and Recreations episode. When Leslie Knope (played by Amy Poehler) decided to run for City council in season 4, she does so with her friends running every aspect of her campaign (after being let go by "official" campaign managers), this gives her campaign an approachable, friendly and personal aspect that eventually led to her victory.
The rising popularity of self-driving cars has caused many to question just how safe these vehicles are. These concerns were highlighted when one woman posted a video of her dancing in her self-driving Tesla with no hands on the steering wheel. On Sept. 25, San Francisco resident Vanessa Lim (@vanesssalim) posted a video of herself dancing in a Tesla, with text overlay that says, when you can have solo dance parties bc your car drives itself.
Lake: How does a 22-year-old become so filled with hate? Five years earlier I was told he was a Trump supporter and we send our kids off to college and they brainwashed them. I am making a plea to mothers. Do not send your children into these indoctrination camps. Do not do it pic.twitter.com/DC0d1S7043- Acyn (@Acyn) September 15, 2025
