A Brooklyn specialty store is facing even more backlash from social media users after issuing a statement about its recent encounter with singer Kelly Clarkson. In an Instagram post, Art of Play, a city store that sells playing cards, puzzles, and books, clapped back at Clarkson after the “Since U Been Gone” performer claimed a store employee treated her unfairly. However, their response did little to clear the air. In fact, netizens rushed to the comments to share even more critical statements, saying they didn’t believe it took true accountability.

JOB CUTSUNHCR is seeking to preserve frontline operations by cutting jobs at its Geneva headquarters and worldwide regional offices, with 88 per cent of staff remaining outside headquarters, Salih said.About 95 per cent of the staff doing protection work, such as registering refugees and providing legal assistance, and helping refugees find longer-term solutions, such as returning home safely, have been retained in field locations, he said. He cited several examples of programmes under threat. In Chad, he said, insufficient funding risks disrupting specialised medical care and legal assistance for more than 50,000 survivors of conflict-related sexual violence who fled neighbouring Sudan. In Ethiopia, refugee…

Many experts no longer think Texas Longhorns junior quarterback Arch Manning will go No. 1 overall in the 2027 NFL Draft (scheduled April 29-May 1 in Washington).On Saturday, Manning faltered in a 27-24 loss to the Oklahoma Sooners in the Red River Rivalry, throwing two costly interceptions in the fourth quarter. He tossed a pick-six early in the quarter, giving Oklahoma a 24-17 lead. After Texas responded with a touchdown on the ensuing drive, the Longhorns had the ball and a chance to win, but that evaporated when he threw another pick with 0:19 seconds remaining. Sooners kicker Tate Sandell subsequently made the game-winning…
There’s another takeaway, besides sadness, from the layoffs across the McClatchy newspaper chain in late September.It may be a sign that the private equity firm that owns McClatchy is preparing to sell or dismantle the company.I can’t think of another explanation for why it would fire nearly a third of its remaining journalists, including reporters covering essential beats like The Miami Herald’s city hall reporter and The (Tacoma) News Tribune reporter covering Tacoma and Pierce County.More than 90 staffers were laid off across 17 McClatchy publications, including already threadbare newspapers in Tacoma, Olympia, Bellingham and Tri-Cities. Other cities with McClatchy…

One of science fiction’s oldest themes is its insistence that the future isn’t inevitable. Few contemporary authors embody that idea more than Becky Chambers, whose stories imagine alternative futures—not through grand revolutions or galaxy-spanning battles but through ordinary people trying to care for one another.As a defining voice of the “hopepunk” genre, Chambers has built a reputation for science fiction that prizes empathy as much as imagination. Her latest novel, As You Wake, Break the Shell, brings us to the hostile, unpredictable world of Fortune, where acid rain falls and billowing volcanoes shroud the horizon. The story follows a reclusive…

Americans are becoming more pessimistic, and their expectations for inflation are moving in the wrong direction. The University of Michigan’s preliminary October consumer sentiment index fell to 46.3 from 48.1 in September, below the 47.8 economists expected.

The survey points to mounting frustration over living costs, particularly among people with lower incomes and smaller investment portfolios. Those households have fewer resources to absorb another increase in bills. The decline from 48.1 to 46.3 is approximately 3.7% in a single month. Sentiment is a survey, not a direct measure of…
