Terrence McDermott barely has a finger to spare. Each day, the 26-year-old cigar shop assistant manager in Phoenix plops silver rings onto nine of his 10 fingers. His clinky assortment includes a turquoise signet, a ring inspired by late rapper MF Doom and a pinkie ring that he tried on and couldn’t pry off, so he bought it. He’s not yet married, so his sole free digit is his left ring finger.

A millennial mom on TikTok took umbrage with Gen Z trends, igniting intergenerational discourse. She's not a fan of laminated eyebrows, the "glass skin" trend, "chunky" dad shoes, or mini Uggs. While millennials' style is often critiqued by Gen Z, the TikToker said she doesn't take the debate seriously. AdvertisementA millennial mom recently took umbrage with several popular Gen Z fashion and beauty trends, igniting intergenerational discourse about eyebrows and sneakers on TikTok. In a separate clip, she noted millennials have often been the butt of Gen Z critiques, including being labeled "cheugy" (or basic) for wearing skinny jeans, hairline side parts, and over-the-knee boots.

Duffie said more could be done, but added that the "official sector Treasury market datasets are far more comprehensive now than they were a few years ago." They would have much better estimates of the basis trade, for example, but they still wouldn't know exactly how big it is. The trade involves hedge funds exploiting the difference between a Treasury security and its derivative in the futures market. The CFTC data includes other trades that hedge funds enter into that involve shorting treasury futures, the two industry sources said. At a major Treasury market conference earlier this month, officials underscored the importance of good data.

A game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors had barely begun, Tuesday night in San Francisco, when the rowdiest scene of the early NBA season unfolded. Just over a minute and a half into the contest, Minnesota’s Jaden McDaniels and Golden State’s Klay Thompson, who had tussled for rebounding position, gripped and tore at one another’s jerseys at midcourt, spinning in circles as referees’ whistles blew. When Rudy Gobert, the Timberwolves’ 7-foot-1 center, tried to pry them apart, Draymond Green—the Warriors’ ace defender and agitator—leapt onto Gobert’s back and clamped an arm around his neck.

☆ Lawsuits are shaking the NAR’s grip on America’s real estate fees

It’s easy to forget how much we used to rely on real, physical paper and, like, other people to buy basic things. It wasn’t all that long ago that you’d call a travel agent to book a flight. But the sellers argued that in a competitive market, the buyers should pay their own agent’s commission, and negotiate that fee separately. Because even though the NAR says fees are negotiable, the industry has made 5%-6% commissions so standard that most people wouldn’t question it. According to Bloomberg, Realtor commissions are high by global standards.

In her 25 years of making films, Sofia Coppola has always found the poetry behind the headlines, the banality in the glamour, the soul in the superficial. “(Priscilla) wasn’t looking to make a movie out of the story,” Coppola told The Associated Press in a recent interview. They shot out of order: On some days, Spaeny was teenage Priscilla in the morning and adult, pregnant Priscilla after lunch. Though there are endless photographs and video footage of Elvis and Priscilla, those photographs have disappeared, Coppola said. Before the film's premiere in Venice, Coppola said she wasn’t making “Priscilla” for Elvis fans.

☆ Inside Google’s Plan to Stop Apple From Getting Serious About Search

For years, Google watched with increasing concern as Apple improved its search technology, not knowing whether its longtime partner and sometimes competitor would eventually build its own search engine. Those fears ratcheted up in 2021, when Google paid Apple around $18 billion to keep Google’s search engine the default selection on iPhones, according to two people with knowledge of the partnership, who were not authorized to discuss it publicly. The same year, Apple’s iPhone search tool, Spotlight, began showing users richer web results like those they could have found on Google. Google quietly planned to put a lid on Apple’s search ambitions. Google’s anti-Apple plan illustrated the importance that its executives placed on maintaining dominance in the search business.

When we're stuck in a constant loop of fear and negativity, it can be tough to cultivate a positive mindset. If you use any of these six phrases every day, you're genuinely happier than most:1. "I get to..."Reframing "have to's…" into "get to's…" is a powerful way to tap into a mindset of gratitude. And you don't have to check in on the screaming toddler that you thought was asleep — you get to. If the answer is no, try to pull that future calm back into the present moment.

In September, one of Boston's own homegrown companies, Klaviyo, was among the first tech startups to pry open the IPO market, which had been closed for a two-year stretch. According to research by Carta, Boston has a healthy lead on other cities for total capital raised across biotech, health-tech, medical devices, and energy companies so far this year. It's also worth mentioning that funding to Boston startups has cooled from the peak in 2021, as has funding everywhere. In celebration of this vibrant scene, Insider is recognizing the most important venture capitalists in the greater Boston area. We asked VCs from across the country about the Boston investors to know, and we also referred to our past reporting on the top seed investors to find more picks.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans in Wisconsin are threatening to impeach a recently elected state Supreme Court justice and raised the possibility of doing the same to the state’s election director. A Georgia Republican called for impeaching the Fulton County prosecutor who brought racketeering charges against former President Donald Trump. None of the targets met the bar traditionally set for impeachment — credible allegations of committing a crime while in office. Over the past two years, Republicans also have sought to pry Democrats and nonpartisan executives from office through recalls, legislative maneuvers and forced removals, even when no allegations of wrongdoing have surfaced. They’re upset with her over a legal settlement as voting began in 2020 that eased some rules for mailed ballots during the COVID-19 pandemic beyond what state law permitted.

☆ Cable makers are green investing’s dark horses

An electrical power pylon with high-voltage power lines is seen next to wind turbines near Weselitz, Germany November 18, 2022. Moving away from fossil fuels will require laying thousands of new and stronger power lines carrying electricity from source to end users. Putting the additional earnings on Prysmian’s expected EBITDA multiple for 2026 of 8 times would generate an additional enterprise value of 2 billion euros, nearly 20% above today’s 11.6 billion euros. One potential snag is that cable makers’ annual capacity for high-voltage cables is currently only 6 billion euros per year. The volume of high-voltage cable orders has risen to more than 10 billion euros last year from around 3 billion euros in 2019, according to industry and analyst estimates.

“It is no secret that Apple is making more money on Bing existing than Bing does,’’ Mikhail Parakhin, Microsoft’s chief of advertising and web services, said in U.S. District Court in Washington. Parakhin was describing Microsoft’s years of futility trying to supplant Google on Apple devices. The U.S. Department of Justice accuses Google of using similar agreements to lock out rival search engines such as Bing and Yahoo, stifling innovation. Asked by U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta whether a search engine could be built solely off machine learning, he replied: "We’ve seen companies try. One option would be to bar the Mountain View, California-based company from paying Apple and others to make Google the default search engine.

Ukraine's attack on the Sevastopol shipyard last week left a Russian submarine in rough shape. New photos leaked to social media indicate the submarine may be beyond repair, a naval expert says. The attack damaged two vessels, including the Kilo-class attack submarine Rostov-on-Don, and was the latest in a string of assaults on the peninsula, which Kyiv has vowed to liberate from Moscow. It also published satellite imagery showing the damaged Sevastopol shipyard, with a zoomed-in view of the submarine.
