TikTok user alexaabney69 frequently shares videos featuring conversations with her brother, often highlighting their sibling dynamic. A recent exchange about dating has caught viewers' attention, drawing more than 730,000 views and over 1,280 comments.
The video begins with Alexa telling her brother, "I've been thinking about it a lot, and I kind of feel like I'm ready for a real relationship and a real boyfriend."
When her brother responds with a questioning "Okay?" she asks whether he thinks she is ready, saying that she believes she is.
"Maybe you should stop talking to d—–bags, then," he replies. When Alexa says she doesn't know whether someone is a d—–bag until she starts dating them, her brother pushes back.
"Everyone knows," he says. "We all can tell except for you." He then suggests that Alexa look for something less surface-level in her next relationship. She responds that she likes the personalities of the men she has dated in the past.

CROMVOIRT, Netherlands – For the first time in 20 editions, the Solheim Cup is tied after one day.
The U.S. and Europe split each of the first two sessions and are deadlocked at 4-4 entering the weekend at Bernardus Golf.
"We took a big swing from 'em today," U.S. captain Angela Stanford said. "We took some of their best body blows today. So, I just told 'em I was proud of 'em and they hung in there, and I'm excited about tomorrow because I feel like we're a heavyweight fighter. We fight with our mentality, and we're just going to see how long we can last, and I feel pretty good about how long we can go."
Here are some takeaways from a cool, rainy Friday in the Netherlands:

Marcus Thompson: I feel like they include him in the process. He's aware of what's going on. His voice matters, and as long as that's the case, Steph is fine. He's going to hold their feet to the fire; he's going to make sure they're sticking to it. The Warriors want to win. They are thirsty to win. So their match made heaven that way. As you can see, they tried to get every star out there. They failed, but... I mean, that's what it is at the end of a run, right? It's not going to be pretty. This was probably as best as you can hope for. Hopefully Jimmy Butler comes back for them, and they can make another run, and maybe upset somebody, maybe give it one last valiant effort. What more can you ask for? They want four championships. I think Steph is good enough to stay in the game to where it's like, okay, if you get him the right pieces and get him in a matchup, he'll scare somebody. Now, ideally, they can get somebody good enough to make him like the No. 2. So, he's not carrying everything. That's just hard to do when the two oldest people on the team are making, you know, $120 million. It's tough to not go and get another player who's better than both of them.

You covered the Warriors' golden era for years. What do you make of Stephen Curry's current situation and future? Do you expect him to re-sign with the Warriors? Marcus Thompson: Steph is re-signing. Steph isn't going anywhere. He never was. It's really important to him. He said this for years. He wants to play for the same team his whole career. And I think it would take something dramatic to get him off that. And at 38, it's tough. Like, where's he going? I mean, that's a big one. Where does Steph Curry feel comfortable going and feel like it's his? I think he's a very honor-driven player and I do think he takes honor in, hey, he'd rather go down not winning with his guys than going somewhere else and winning. People have to remember he had a front-row seat to what happened to KD. You go to another team, win a championship with somebody else, people will turn that against you. Steph hears everything. He listens and he's very protective of his reputation that way. So I think the Warriors would have to say, 'Hey, we don't want to do this anymore.' They would have to be like, 'We don't want to win; we just want to get rid of all this money, go cheap, and let's go the cheap route.' And that's just not who the Warriors are. It just isn't.

ALLEN PARK — Twenty-five years have passed, and Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell still vividly recalls the feelings of being loved yet helpless and confused.
At that time, he was the starting tight end for the New York Giants when the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks occurred. Like the rest of the nation, Campbell struggled to cope with the aftermath, experiencing a profound sense of grief. However, in just a few days, Campbell felt as though he had witnessed both the worst and the best of humanity.
"It's something you never forget. In the middle of a tragedy — especially in New York, where they're in a hurry. That happened, and everybody pitched in to help. They just wanted to help and do whatever it takes," Campbell said. "Anybody who was up there at that time, even wanting to go help, to get into the city after that, that took a lot just to get up there. It definitely pulled our country together, and it was one of those things you just don't ever forget. There was a lot of loss. Those things you don't forget, and I can't believe it's been 25 years."

Patriots Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels Describes Team's 'All-Hands' Approach Without A.J. Brown originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Before the Patriots could get a feel for the impact A.J. Brown will have on their offense, they lost him to injury for weeks to come.
Brown will be out until at least Week 6 after being placed on IR on Friday, dealing with a high ankle sprain from his Week 1 exit vs. Seattle. Rather than bringing in any new receivers, it appears New England will be turning to some of its younger pass catchers to alleviate the offense.
Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said Thursday on a radio show that the team will be taking "an all-hands-on-deck approach" to replacing Brown's production at wide receiver, which likely means more playing time for names like DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III.
"Any injury that you get at this time of the season, you kind of approach it with an all-hands-on-deck approach," McDaniels said Thursday, per ESPN. "We got a lot of different skill guys that can do a lot of different things. There isn't one person on the roster that can replace anybody like A.J. -- in the middle of a game or a stretch of a season. So we'll band together and figure out what we can do well and then try to get guys in positions to play to their strengths."

With Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs pleading no contest to his misdemeanor charges, the focus now is on the discipline he will receive from the NFL. As the football world wonders how the NFL will discipline the Packers running back in Jacobs, Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur spoke about his player regarding the recent developments.
Speaking to the media on Friday, LaFleur was asked if his opinion on Jacobs has changed after he took full responsibility for his actions, leading the coach to say "No" without hesitation. When asked a follow-up about why he feels that way, LaFleur would speak on knowing the "character" of Jacobs.
"Because I know the guy and I know the character of the guy, so I've said it many times, and unfortunately situations occur in life, and it's just an unfortunate situation," LaFleur said.

Years after their engagement ended in early 2022, Aaron Rodgers is airing out his grievances with ex Shailene Woodley.
On Cam Heyward's "Not Just Football" podcast, the 42-year-old Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback alleged the actress, a couple of days after the engagement, expressed interest in being intimate with another unnamed man prior to their wedding.
"(Woodley) maybe felt like she was forced to make a decision; she could have said no," Rodgers, who is now married to a woman named Brittani, mused of the 2020 proposal. "Her story is I ruined her life and gave her crazy depression because I left her, but the actuality is, she told me that (statement) and she took off the ring by March."
USA TODAY has reached out to Woodley for comment.
While it's impossible to ******* yze someone and their private relationship based on one public comment, experts say the situation reflects how feelings about a breakup can linger, especially if they haven't been properly processed.

While Ryan Seacrest is reflecting on his summer and his beach workouts, his followers had other thoughts in mind. Many of them asked the same question in the comments after he shared images of himself on social media.
"From the summer camera roll: vacation workouts just hit different," he captioned the Instagram post on September 10. Seacrest set the post to the song "I Feel Good" by Pink Sweat$.
Whoever filmed the video started off with a scenic view of the water. Then, they panned to the Wheel of Fortune host across the beach doing squats with hand weights. They got closer and closer until they were only a few feet from him.
Seacrest worked out with no shirt, short black shorts, and black water shoes. Hand weights, barbells, and other workout equipment sat in a straight line behind him.
He continued to do squats and lift the weights above his head. More views of the ocean could be seen before Seacrest appeared to lie on a towel. He did crunches and lifted his hips up as he used a bigger weight on his arms.

Patriots news: Dre'Mont Jones grabs attention with NSFW shot at Seahawks appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Dre'Mont Jones made sure New England Patriots fans had something to talk about. That's even after a brutal opening-night defeat to his former team. Following the Patriots' 13-10 Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Jones took to Instagram. He posted an in-game photograph of himself driving Seattle QB Sam Darnold into the turf. The outside linebacker made the message unmistakable by tagging an account handle reading @f***_the_seahawks in the bottom-right corner of the post. The NSFW jab quickly spread across social media.
Jones spent the 2023 and 2024 seasons with Seattle after signing a three-year contract. However, his tenure ultimately ended with friction before he landed in New England. Now a key piece of Mike Vrabel's Patriots defense, Jones appears to have plenty of unfinished business with his former team. His latest post made that abundantly clear.
The Patriots' 0–1 start already carries plenty of frustration. New England's defense dominated for much of the opener. They limited Seattle and knocked Darnold from the game. However, the offense collapsed late as Drake Maye threw three second-half interceptions. The Patriots also lost prized wide receiver AJ Brown to an ankle injury. That added another concern to an otherwise highly anticipated campaign. With Christian Gonzalez recently securing a record-setting four-year extension, expectations remain high in Foxborough. New England now gets an extended mini-bye before hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers. Meanwhile, Jones has added another spark to a rivalry that suddenly feels far from settled.

ALLEN PARK — For the first time under coach Dan Campbell, the Detroit Lions have more than six captains.
And for the first time in his professional career, defensive tackle Alim McNeill is one of them.
The seven-man crew of 2026 captains — McNeill, quarterback Jared Goff, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, offensive tackle Penei Sewell, defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, linebacker Jack Campbell and punter Jack Fox — was determined through a democratic process, with players submitting their nominees on a piece of paper. Those with the most votes received the honor.
"Yes and no," said McNeill on Tuesday, Sept. 8, asked if he was surprised by the recognition from his teammates. "I feel like I worked and put the work in to be a captain, but I wasn't necessarily looking for it when we did it, and they chose me. I'm thankful, grateful."
Whether McNeill can return to form is one of the most crucial pivot points for the Lions in 2026. He was impactful and ascending when the team awarded him a four-year, $97 million extension in October 2024, but he tore his ACL two months later, sidelining him for the final stretch of Detroit's 15-2 season.

Pete Davidson marked the 25th anniversary of 9/11 by honoring the father he lost that day. The comedian joined 9/11 Day's UNIITE For Good campaign, turning grief into a call for kindness.
Davidson's father, Scott Davidson, died while responding to the attacks in New York City. This year, Pete encouraged Americans to remember the tragedy by reviving the spirit of unity that followed.
Davidson shared his story in a video for 9/11 Day. "He was a firefighter for Ladder 118, Engine 205 in Brooklyn Heights," he said. "My dad loved being a fireman, and he loved saving people," Davidson added. Scott died while responding to the attacks alongside fellow firefighters.
The Saturday Night Live alum explained why UNIITE For Good felt fitting this year. "9/11 is usually a tough day," Davidson said, according to the campaign. He explained that participants could perform a good deed and pass the idea along. The campaign then added those pledges to a nationwide map.
The goal was to cover the country with visible examples of people helping others. Davidson hoped the initiative could make an emotionally difficult anniversary feel slightly lighter. The campaign also focused on what happened after September 11. Communities came together and helped strangers despite their differences.

It started with yelling about toilets. Steve Ballmer was so serious about turning the Los Angeles Clippers into a serious franchise for the first time in their existence that he wanted to make sure no fan ever waited in a long line to use the bathroom when the team opened its new arena. Ballmer's drive to win eventually led the Clippers to courting Kawhi Leonard in free agency, fresh off leading the Toronto Raptors to a 2019 NBA championship. Leonard wanted to live in Los Angeles, yes, but he also wanted Paul George as his running mate, so the Clippers shipped out a boatload of draft picks and future two-time MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to get him.
Leonard's people also made it known that their client wanted the type of big endorsement deals his off-putting, robotic personality couldn't land legitimately. Leonard's now infamous Uncle Dennis Robertson never tried to be subtle about his desire to secure similar off-court bags to the ones Kawhi's contemporaries like LeBron James, Steph Curry, and Kevin Durant were landing on their own accord, and leaks of his demands circulated as soon as Leonard hit free agency.
The Clippers became so entangled in pleasing Leonard that it led to blatant salary cap circumvention, first reported by investigative journalist Pablo Torre. The NBA found enough evidence supporting Torre's claims that it hammered the Clippers with the most severe penalty in league history, stripping five future first-round draft picks, suspending executives including Ballmer, and more. That figured to be the end of the story, with the Clippers spending the next decade trying to climb out of the abyss. Torre continued to hint that there was another shoe to drop, and now that it's here, the Clippers might be in much bigger trouble than anyone first believed.
The Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into the Clippers, according to the New York Times, and it's already issued one subpoena. While the scope of the investigation is unclear for now, the fact that the feds are watching the Clippers for under-the-table dealings potentially makes this a much bigger deal than simply breaking NBA rules.
How does breaking NBA rules amount to a federal crime by the Clippers? While there's a lot left to come out, the main idea is that the Clippers committed some level of fraud. Daktronics was a publicly traded company, the only one of the four tied up in the Leonard scandal to fit that description, while Aspiration, Lockton Insurance, and Boingo Wireless were not. Publicly traded companies have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders to disclose big investments, and it sure feels like that never happened when dealing with Leonard.

During the first 30 years of the Baltimore Ravens' story, they and the Indianapolis Colts have met 18 times. That includes three postseason matchups, but Sunday's opener carries a different feel. The Ravens are entering a new era under head coach Jesse Minter, while the Colts hope to prove they can contend in the AFC after last season's disappointing finish.
Most of the attention this week has focused on Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Jonathan Taylor, Baltimore's revamped coaching staff, and what to expect on offense and defense. All of that will certainly influence the outcome, but several less-discussed storylines could play an equally important role. Here are five worth monitoring in Week 1.
Fair or unfair, Rashod Bateman enters the season under a microscope. The veteran receiver is attempting to move forward after a difficult 2025 campaign and an offseason that generated headlines for reasons unrelated to football.
A strong opener would immediately help shift the conversation back toward his on-field value. A quiet performance, however, could reignite many of the same questions that followed him throughout the offseason. One game should not define a season, but Week 1 often shapes perception. Bateman doesn't need a 100-yard performance to make an impact. He needs to remind everyone why the Ravens still believe in him.
Ja'Kobi Lane spent much of the summer generating excitement, while Vega Ioane appears poised to play a meaningful role immediately. They are not the only rookies worth watching. Pass rusher Zion Young could find himself in situations where a single splash play changes the trajectory of his debut.

On September 13, 2001, Lillian Garcia stood in the center of a WWE ring — alone — with tens of thousands of eyeballs on her at the Compaq Center in Houston, Texas. Normally the WWE's ring announcer, Garcia had been tasked with a nominal-turned-monumental duty — singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" — two days after the most significant terrorist attack on U.S. soil.
More than 1,600 miles away, in the shadows of the ever-altered New York City skyline, 10-year-old Thea Trinidad watched — as she always did — after experiencing an upheaval most do at some point in their life, but few as suddenly as her.
"That one's specifically always stuck out to me," Trinidad, a former WWE champion who performed under the alias Zelina Vega, tells Uncrowned. "I remember that one specifically, I saw all of the wrestlers get really emotional and seeing Lillian, still I always tell her: 'Yours is still my favorite to hear.'
"It just felt like, in that moment, the thing that I loved most was kind of shining a light on my dad. In a way, it kind of felt like it was just for 9/11, and it felt like it was just for those people. And I think in a weird way, it was important for us to feel that, because everyone else just felt like you were a thing, like a spectacle. You were someone to look at. You almost felt like you were the circus animal, and you were like, 'Oh, look, they dealt with that,' or, 'Oh, look, her dad died.' It just felt like wrestling was the thing that I've always felt seen in."

Nicole Kidman reached the top of her profession in 2003 and discovered that the view from there could still feel painfully empty.
The actor won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Virginia Woolf in The Hours, but she now says the celebration behind one of the defining photographs of her career did not match what she was experiencing privately.
"I was beyond lonely," Kidman said during the Sept. 10 episode of Therapuss with Jake Shane. "I had the pinnacle of my success, and I went home and was so lonely."
The win came two years after her divorce from Tom Cruise. Looking back more than two decades later, Kidman said the absence of a partner to share the achievement with became impossible to ignore, leading to one of the most profound realizations of the night, "I've got to get a life."
Kidman's parents were with her at the 75th Academy Awards, but the relationship she found herself missing was a romantic one. "I had my mom with me and my dad, but I was like, 'Where's my partner, someone that I can share this with?'" Kidman recalled, according to PEOPLE.

The U.S. Treasury Department said Wednesday that it plans to buy $6 billion of government debt this week as part of an effort to reduce long-term borrowing costs and maintain liquidity in the bond market. The buyback operation, which triples the normal level of $2 billion per week, will continue at a higher level moving forward, Treasury said, with at least $4 billion in debt purchased each week for the next few months, and perhaps longer.
This week's buyback, which is scheduled for Thursday, will focus on 10- and 20-year Treasury bonds. Yields have been rising on those bonds, along with other durations, as investors confront the reality of persistent inflation, massive investment in artificial intelligence and rising government debt levels around the world.
Treasury Secretary Bessent said Tuesday that the buyback operation is intended to reduce the "fever that was building" in the bond markets.
The markets did not respond as hoped. Treasury yields rose after the announcement Wednesday, with the yield on long-duration bonds rising as much as 5 basis points in volatile trading, though yields fell back in later trading.
"It doesn't seem like the patient's feeling much better," Adam Josephson of Sakonnet Research wrote in a note, per Investopedia.

With so many guidelines around saving for retirement — best practices, where to put your savings, and how much to save — it can be difficult to know which path to take.
The advice usually goes something like this: Save a certain percentage of your income throughout your career, and your retirement fund could be somewhere in the millions. T. Rowe Price and Fidelity both recommend that retirement savers put away at least 15% of their income, while Vanguard recommends 12% to 15%.
This all sounds great in theory, but if you're earning an average salary, it could feel like a reach. However, experts say it may not be.
Last year on Instagram, multimillionaire investor and entrepreneur Kevin O'Leary shared the advice he gives his children to keep them on track toward a healthy nest egg.

The national average price of gasoline hit a record high over Labor Day weekend as new escalations in the war between the U.S. and Iran triggered a spike in oil prices, with Brent crude futures hitting $100 per barrel for the first time since July.
"Average gasoline prices rose in nearly three out of five states over the last week, while diesel surged in every state — with some climbing nearly 50 cents per gallon in just seven days," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum **** ysis at GasBuddy, in his weekly newsletter. "The milestone many hoped to avoid has arrived: the national average price of gasoline on Labor Day set a new record for the holiday, eclipsing the previous mark of $3.83 per gallon set in 2012."
As of Sept. 9, regular gas was $4 per gallon, with diesel sitting at over $5 per gallon, according to AAA. Crude oil prices were trading above $90 per barrel, and Brent crude was above $100 per barrel.
However, despite elevated fuel prices, as a new season approaches, there may be hope for drivers who are feeling the pinch.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's UK return could have a familiar royal figure at its center. An expert claims Princess Diana's legacy may help shape their re-entry into Britain. The timing has also prompted speculation about a possible project marking the 30th anniversary of Diana's death. However, one commentator has questioned the ethics of bringing the late princess into the couple's next chapter.
According to a discussion on "The Royalist" podcast, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry could use Princess Diana's legacy to help reintroduce themselves to the British public. Host Tom Sykes was joined by Samara Gill, who discussed the timing of the couple's return and its possible connection to Diana.
Diana's 30th death anniversary is approaching in 2027. Against that backdrop, there has been speculation that the Sussexes may be working on a possible documentary focusing on the late princess. The project has also apparently been ******* ociated with Netflix. However, no documentary has been officially announced by Harry, Meghan, or the streaming platform.
For Gill, the potential project could serve a wider purpose. She claimed the couple may be looking to reconnect with the British public through Diana's enduring popularity. Gill said they could be "using Diana to relaunch" their return to the UK. She argued that the late princess remains someone "most people — the majority of the public — can get behind." By contrast, she claimed that Harry and Meghan face strong opposition from a large section of the British public.
From a public relations perspective, Gill acknowledged that the strategy could be effective. She described it as a "smart PR move." However, she also questioned the ethics of making Diana part of such a comeback. "Morally, I find it a little interesting, a little sticky and icky," Gill said. She added that the idea of using Diana in this way gave her "a bit of a sick feeling."

Apple is skipping the base iPhone 18 this fall in favor of three premium devices: the iPhone 18 Pro, the iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable — rumored to be called the iPhone Ultra, Duo, or Fold. The foldable is the headline. It's expected to feature a 7.8-inch internal display, a 5.3-inch external screen, an A20 Pro chip, and a thickness of just 4.5mm unfolded, with pricing estimated between $1,999 and $2,399 and limited initial supply. It marks Apple's entry into the foldable category years after rivals — a potentially major new product cycle for one of the world's most valuable companies.
Here's the pattern every ETF investor should understand before today's close. Nearly two decades of data show that Apple tends to "sell the news" on launch day itself. AAPL averages a roughly 0.3% decline on iPhone launch days, with a median drop of about 0.6% — the classic case of anticipation being priced in before the reveal.
But the weakness rarely lasts. Apple has averaged a 0.5% gain the very next session (positive in 15 of 24 releases), and the longer-term picture is decisively bullish: AAPL has gained in the 60 days following an iPhone reveal 17 times since the original 2007 launch. The biggest such move was a 20% gain in the 60 days after the iPhone 11 reveal in 2019. In other words, launch-day dips have historically been buying opportunities, not warning signs. **** ysts have also downplayed fears about the ~$2,000 foldable price tag, arguing a premium halo product is unlikely to dent Apple's overall economics.
Apple is not just a stock — it's one of the largest weights in the entire ETF universe. As one of the biggest companies in the world, it sits near the top of the S&P 500, the Nasdaq-100, and virtually every technology index. That means a move in AAPL ripples through hundreds of funds, and millions of investors have significant Apple exposure without realizing it. When Apple moves on event day, these are the ETFs that move with it.
A handful of funds carry outsized Apple weights and will feel today's move most acutely. GXPT (Global X PureCap MSCI Information Technology ETF) holds roughly 19.2% in Apple — the highest of any diversified fund. FTEC (Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF) holds about 16.3%, VGT (Vanguard Information Technology ETF) about 16.2%, TRUT (VanEck Technology TruSector ETF) roughly 15.1%, and TOPT (iShares Top 20 U.S. Stocks ETF) around 14.5%.

The Fantasy Premier League season is entering week four and plenty of managers will be getting itching fingers, with so many chips at our disposal.
Is it time to play a Free Hit or a Wildcard?
BBC Sport FPL expert Holly Shand looks at some of the biggest dilemmas facing FPL managers heading into gameweek four.
Chelsea striker Joao Pedro (£7.7m) is the most-owned player in the game, in 72.5% of sides. Given that Chelsea have scored eight goals already this season, and face promoted Hull City at home next, it feels like the right time to be moving towards a double up on their ****** ets.
Cole Palmer (£9.6m) and Morgan Rogers (£7.6m) came on as half-time substitutes in the Carabao Cup against Leeds United on Wednesday, with Palmer scoring a double including a penalty, and Rogers chalking up three ****** ists.

Four years after plying their trade in the semi-professional fourth division of German football, newly promoted SV Elversberg welcome defending Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich on Sunday.
Elversberg, a village with a population of just 13,000 and no train station, became the smallest in German league history to host a top-flight side this season.
The minnows have not been awed by the bright lights, either. Elversberg have won two from two this season, including a 3-2 win over 2023-24 double winners Bayer Leverkusen to open their maiden top-flight campaign.
Club technical director Josef Welzmueller credited hard work rather than wizardry for their achievement.
"I know that it sounds like magic or like a fairytale," Welzmueller told AFP this month, "(but) we did it step by step, and it didn't feel like a fairytale, to be honest."
