Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark was spotted sitting with pop icon Taylor Swift at the Kansas City Chiefs' game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, and the WNBA's official X account made sure to shout it out.
The response from fans wasn't exactly warm, with many accusing the league of clout chasing after, in their view, barely acknowledging Clark during the season.
Clark watched the game at Arrowhead with Swift, who was there to cheer on her husband, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Swift made it back to Kansas City after performing at the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday night, and photos and videos of her and Clark (including a hug between the two) flooded social media.
Clark has an open calendar these days, as the Fever were eliminated from the WNBA playoffs by the Las Vegas Aces in the first round.
"Hey Caitlin," the league posted at 6:59 p.m. ET. That was all it took to fire up plenty of fans.

Looks like Mean Girls star Daniel Franzese is going to need a brand-new pink shirt.
Franzese, 48 — who played Damian Leigh in the hit 2004 film — showed off his impressive 135-pound weight loss with a rare shirtless photo on September 24.
"Three years. Down 135lbs. No booze, no sugar, workout 4 times a week (or more) now counting macros," he captioned the post shared to Threads.
Fans flooded the comments section of his post with praise for his hard work.
"The progress is impressive😘," one follower wrote.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman admits "something's clearly not working" with the artificial intelligence money that has flooded the midterm elections — and he doesn't expect President Donald Trump's rebrand of the technology to improve his industry's image with the American public, either.
"I get why AI has a really negative perception right now," Altman told Brendan Bordelon in an exclusive interview marking the launch of Decoded by POLITICO. "I don't think spending money on politics is what's going to make people feel better about it. The industry needs to figure out a way to address what the actual concerns are, and right now, a lot of people in the industry are being quite tone deaf."
In the wide-ranging conversation, Altman offered a window into how OpenAI is confronting new political pressures and intensified competition with Anthropic, its corporate archrival run by former employee Dario Amodei.
Altman says OpenAI is more tolerant than Anthropic of less-than-catastrophic harms from AI, drawing out what he sees as a fundamental split in worldview between the two leading labs even as they converge on tougher rules in the wake of high-profile autonomous hacking incidents.
"We believe that the world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology and people having the agency," said Altman, who characterized those harms as linked to "the lighter touch regulatory stance that we advocate for."

On September 4, 2026, the Wall Street Journal reported that Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX)' longtime chai latte devotees have turned against the company's reformulated recipe, introduced in March. It reduced sweetener and shifted from a pre-made concentrate to a new base with just two grams of sugar.
Customers have signed petitions, flooded Starbucks' corporate lines, and taken to Reddit and store review sites demanding the original formula back. Starbucks says the change gives customers more control over sweetness and has introduced new variations like Mango Cream Chai and Pumpkin Cream Chai.
Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX)' broader turnaround remains intact despite the backlash over its chai reformulation. Global comparable sales increased 7.9% in fiscal Q3, with comparable transactions rising 4.2%. The company raised its fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $2.55-$2.65 from $2.25-$2.45. Stronger customer traffic and higher earnings give investors evidence that one unpopular menu change has not derailed the recovery.
The chai backlash appears concentrated among loyal customers of one product rather than across Starbucks' broader customer base. The business introduced the new chai formula as part of a personalization strategy. Customers can customize sweetness and other ingredients. If Starbucks keeps transaction growth across its wider menu, the business could improve its product economics without materially damaging overall customer demand.
Starbucks is improving profitability while it executes its turnaround. Non-GAAP operating margin expanded 430 basis points year over year to 14.4% in fiscal Q3, while North America revenue increased 7% to $7.4 billion. These results give investors evidence that the company can improve margins and sales even as it experiments with its menu and customer experience.

Maybe it's a me thing, but I've been craving the thrill and suspense of an award show. Luckily, tonight is the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, where NBC's Law & Order star Mariska Hargitay is hosting live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. As a self-proclaimed binge-watcher, I'm all caught up on tonight's nominees, led by The Pitt with 25 nominations and Hacks at 24, breaking the record for a comedy series to date. But it's not just the potential winners getting buzz; it's the red carpet arrivals, too.
We're tuning in to see which designers tonight's attendees are wearing and get a glimpse of which trends will define 2027—or, in this case, which controversial trends. Shailene Woodley, who won her first Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her role in Hulu's Paradise last week, arrived on tonight's red carpet in a look from Pierpaolo Piccioli's Balenciaga F/W 26 haute couture collection.
The trend in question? Sequin-embroidered trousers. Woodley wore the divisive pants with their runway pairing, a plunging periwinkle tank, but traded the oversize coat for a pair of burgundy opera gloves. Woodley's stylist, Karla Welch, introduced more color with a beautiful collared necklace crafted from Venetian glass by HOWL. The flooded hem hides Woodley's, I ***** ume, very tall heels.

Jacqueline "Jackie" Bouvier wore an ivory silk taffeta gown for her 1953 wedding to future President John F. Kennedy.
Ann Lowe, an acclaimed Black couturier for America's elite families, made Jackie's wedding dress—but her work went largely unacknowledged for decades.
Ten days before the wedding, Lowe's studio flooded and she had to remake the dress from scratch.
Eight years before she would step into the role of first lady, Jackie Kennedy became a fashion icon on her wedding day: Her silk taffeta gown remains one of the most photographed bridal looks in history.
She and then-fiancé John F. Kennedy knew their September 1953 wedding would be a spectacle. JFK, then a junior senator, was a rising political star, while his bride-to-be came from a prominent New York family. Shortly after the announcement of their engagement in June 1953, the couple jointly covered Life magazine with the headline, "Senator Kennedy Goes A-Courting"—a sign of their star power which would only grow during JFK's political ascent.

Comedian and former professional football player Lou Young is giving his two cents on the fiasco around fake NFL player Daejon Labrayae Love. After Love's arrest for defrauding dozens of women out of over $1 million dollars, social media users flooded platforms with jokes and memes about their "careers" in the football league. In a recent interview with VIBE, Young shared his thoughts on the wild story and how it's made him question his own career choice.
"To actually develop in your mind a lie and say that you're really playing on the team and swindle over a one-point-something million, that's more money than I ever made in the league," he said candidly. "Honestly, I might have been in the wrong profession. I got on the wrong boat. ******* !
"I worked my whole life to put that NFL shield on, and get all the issue gear and ******* . That was like armor. You felt like somebody when you got yours. He just ordered his ******* offline and put it on."
Young also addressed how dozens of women fell for his facade and failed to use common sense before sending money to Love.
"Who's raising [y'all]? We're losing recipes. That's why, as a girl dad," he said. "I'm leading by example. If my daughter ever got swindled by a ******* like Daejon Love, it's going to be ******* to pay for a lot of people because I worked too hard to show her that that is a fraud.

Well, it would appear Tyler Perry's next movie should be called Madea Saves the Day, because that's exactly what the filmmaker is being celebrated for doing after he learned about an 81-year-old woman who was struggling after a pipe burst in her home.
According to the story Perry saw on Fox 32 Chicago, the Illinois woman was displaced for more than six months after her home was flooded when a pipe burst. Brenda Daurham had filed a claim with her insurance company, Allstate, which later denied the claim, leading to a $17,827.96 lien being placed on her property.
Daurham turned to Fox 32 Chicago for help with the situation, which is how Perry learned of the story. He took his frustrations about what was happening to the elderly homeowner to Instagram, calling Allstate out while also pledging to help Daurham get back into the home she had lived in for decades.
"Don't worry, Ms. Daurham, help is on the way," he wrote in the post, which quickly went viral. Now, people are celebrating Perry for his quick and generous action.
The film star voiced his frustration on social media on Sept. 2, 2026. "Hey Allstate!! Step to the front real quick," he wrote in a photo that accompanied news footage from the story. "This woman is 81-years-old. You call this being in good hands?"

The market is flooded with names that claim to be AI companies. The word "AI-powered" is enough to get the attention of the Street, but some believe those days are going to be history soon as investors become jittery about massive CapEx and ROI-related fears.
To find out where retail investors are actually putting money for the long haul, we scoured Reddit threads and discussions on the r/stockstobuytoday community and picked two stocks retail investors on Reddit said they are buying for the next five years. These are International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG). In this article, we will focus on IBM.
Retail investors on Reddit say they like IBM because they believe small quantum startups won't be able to raise enough development money or handle regulation, while IBM is already embedded in enterprise accounts with a strong reputation. They also like the stock's valuation and dividend.
Valuation
IBM has a forward non-GAAP P/E of 19.12, which is 15.72% below the sector median of 22.69 and 5.85% above IBM's own five-year average of 18.07. Forward GAAP P/E of 23.13 sits 21.10% under the sector and 17.03% below IBM's five-year average of 27.88. Forward EV/EBITDA of 13.85 is 5.46% under the sector median and 5.86% above IBM's own history.

The Mavericks' minority owner, Mark Cuban, reacted to the NBA's recent verdict in the Kawhi Leonard salary-cap circumvention controversy with the Clippers.
"Congrats, Pablo," wrote Cuban on X.
NBA fans took to social media and saw the billionaire businessman's two-word response. They flooded the comment section with criticism, calling Cuban out for backtracking on his comments about Pablo Torre, the investigative journalist who first reported the story.
"Not sure how you thought they were innocent. This smelled like rotting fish from the beginning."
"Man…you were so wrong in this one. Always side with the smarter people…Pablo is much smarter than Ballmer. And Pablo actually works for a living."

Caitlin Clark remains at the center of an intense national debate regarding the league's Most Valuable Player award. While attention recently shifted toward Team USA during the international break, the awards race continues generating massive online discussion. Las Vegas forward A'ja Wilson remains the leading candidate, but the Indiana point guard has gathered tremendous public support. However, one passionate supporter recently took his advocacy to extreme lengths.
WNBA reporter Khristina Williams publicly called out former collegiate basketball player John O'Maley for harassing her inbox. The media personality revealed that the executive repeatedly flooded her email with detailed statistical breakdowns supporting the star rookie. Williams requested that he cease sending messages after receiving five separate emails within a single two-hour window.
She directly addressed the relentless email campaign on her public timeline to set firm boundaries. Williams wrote, "Pleeeease stop sending me emails, John!!!" She later clarified her frustration by adding, "I deleted the tweet. But seriously, stop! I received five emails in a two-hour span today, and multiple emails last month."
Traditional sports fans always value objective media evaluations over relentless personal lobbying. True hoops purists recognize that voters must evaluate the entire season without outside pressure. Harassing sports journalists' inboxes distorts legitimate award conversations and creates unnecessary friction. Respecting professional boundaries remains essential for everyone involved in sports media.
O'Maley is a West Point graduate who previously played collegiate basketball under legendary coach Bob Knight. The corporate executive built an extensive, source-linked comparison arguing that the Indiana guard deserves first-place MVP votes. He noted her impressive scoring efficiency, high usage rate, and transformative impact on the franchise's overall offensive output.

Meghan Markle has reportedly faced backlash over the timing of her latest "As Ever" announcement, which arrived just hours after Dolly Parton's passing. The ***** ss of Sussex, 45, promoted a new Spiced Apple ***** er for her lifestyle brand on Tuesday, August 25.
The announcement came less than five hours after Parton's family shared news of the country music icon's passing at 80, according to Radar Online. Parton's nephew, Bryan Seaver, announced her passing in a video shared across the singer's social media accounts shortly before 11 a.m. PST. Soon after, celebrities, musicians, and fans flooded social media with emotional tributes to the beloved star.
Meanwhile, Markle continued promoting Meghan Markle "As Ever" products. Just before 3 p.m. PST, she shared an Instagram post advertising the new Spiced Apple ***** er. The timing quickly caught attention online. Some critics questioned whether the announcement had been scheduled in advance and wondered why the brand did not postpone it following Parton's death.
On Reddit, several users criticized the decision. One commenter argued that "no one cares about anything else" following Parton's passing. Another user pointed to the connection between apple ***** er and the American South, saying the timing made the announcement appear particularly insensitive given Parton's cultural significance.
However, there is no indication in the supplied report that Markle personally timed the announcement to coincide with the news of Parton's passing. A pre-scheduled social media post could explain why the promotion appeared when it did. Still, the timing created an awkward moment for Markle "As Ever", especially as tributes to Parton dominated the online conversation.

Ricky Schroder got slammed online following his transphobic and anti-vaccine laced tribute to Dolly Parton.
Remembrance after remembrance flooded the internet Tuesday after news that the country music legend had died. Schroder – who played Parton's father in two TV movies, "Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors" and "Dolly Parton's Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love" – joined his voice to the many. But he still couldn't help but point out their political differences in his tribute.
"I didnt [sic] agree with her advocating for Transgender & Covid Vaccine support…but Loved her anyway," Schroder wrote on Instagram alongside a picture of him and Parton. "Thank you for choosing me Dolly to be your Movie Daddy."
This led to a number of celebrities calling the "NYPD Blue" star out for feeling the need to mention those things while honoring Parton. Katie Couric, Boy George, and many others heaped on their disgust for the way Schroder chose to honor Parton's memory.
"Ick," Couric wrote on Threads.

Some stars are remembered for their talent, while others are admired for the human they are beyond their work. Dolly Parton stands out for both, leaving an international redditor curious about what made her so beloved. Following the country star's death on August 25, the redditor asked a simple question in a thread on r/NoStupidQuestions: what did the singer do to become so universally appreciated?
People flooded the comments to explain exactly why the star was considered an absolute treasure. Commenters share a list of reasons why her legacy goes far beyond hit songs and blockbuster movies.
Although the country superstar escaped a childhood of extreme poverty and achieved global success, she dedicated a significant portion of her wealth to uplifting her native East Tennessee. People highlight how her business ventures served as a lifeline for a struggling region.
Aside from local economic stimulus, the singer built an educational foundation that touched millions of families across the globe. Commenters admire how she heavily incentivized graduation rates and established a major book distribution network for children under 5 called the Imagination Library.
Celebrities often struggle to maintain an authentic persona off-camera, yet Parton earned a reputation for treating everyone with genuine respect behind closed doors, deflecting cruel interview questions and casually lifting up other artists.

Remember that summer when Bayern Munich tried to sign Florian Wirtz and failed? He went to Liverpool FC instead. The outcome of that experiment has left FCB fans cackling while scousers wonder where it all went wrong.
A short lesson on how Twitter works. You are shown things based on how much you interact with them. So when I happened to like a Wirtz tweet that randomly appeared on my feed, my For You page was suddenly flooded with lamentations from LFC fans in the aftermath of their draw to Newcastle.
There were honestly so many that I decided to compile them into one article and present it to my fellow FC Bayern fans to enjoy and ridicule. There is no greater pleasure in football than watching someone else suffer, and suffering is what these Pool fans feel.
Behold, the team that "won" the 2025 summer transfer market.
Really bad. Really really bad.

Happy Birthday, John Stamos!
The handsome actor has shown plenty of skin throughout his incredible career. Audiences fell in love with him as the iconic Uncle Jesse Katsopolis on Full House, but OG fans have been crushing on the heartthrob since his debut on General Hospital in the 1980's.
Stamos was only 18 years old when he first graced everyone's screens, but his latest birthday post is still making heads turn all these years later. In a new photo posted to Instagram, the actor wears nothing in a ****** y mirror selfie in his bathroom. He kept the caption simple by simply putting his age in the bio: 63.
Fans flooded the comments with plenty of Uncle Jesse memes and iconic lines. One user even said, "I shouldn't be referring to you as UNCLE Jesse any longer with the thoughts going on in my head." Another commented, "You and Lenny Kravitz are raising the bar on how to age. Rock on!"
As if his Instagram post weren't hot enough, the talented star is turning up the heat at the perfect time as he's slated to join the steamy Netflix series Hunting Wives for its second season. He's also slated to star in a new political comedy sitcom created by Greg Garcia in the near future.

China flooded the world with cheap solar panels a decade ago, driving Western competitors out of business. It did the same with electric vehicles, prompting tariffs from Washington and Brussels. In 2025, the pattern repeated with batteries. Chinese manufacturers who had built twice as many factories as the world needed slashed prices to keep them running, pushing stationary storage packs down to $70 per kilowatt-hour, 45% cheaper than the year before. The decline was steep enough to reshape what power companies pay for electricity during the most expensive hours of the day.
Chinese overbuilding was the biggest single force behind the price collapse, but it wasn't the only one. A shift toward cheaper battery chemistry, a crash in lithium prices, and a decades-long accumulation of manufacturing improvements all hit at the same time, each amplifying the others. On its own, any one of those forces would have pushed prices down gradually. Their convergence is what turned a steady decline into a collapse.
Cheaper batteries are good news for electricity costs and for the climate. But the conditions that made them possible are unwinding. Lithium prices have already rebounded, and the tariffs designed to counter China's trade practices are adding new costs of their own.
Chinese battery manufacturers spent the early 2020s building factories at a pace that ***** umed electric vehicle demand would keep surging. It worked for a while. By 2024, China produced enough battery cells — the basic units that store electricity and power electric vehicles — for every car sold on the planet that year. But global manufacturing capacity far outstripped what anyone needed. At roughly 2,600 gigawatt-hours, the world's factories could supply every battery the market demanded and still have enough idle capacity to outfit nearly every home in America with its own storage system.
Even as the surplus became apparent, manufacturers kept adding capacity through 2025. The world's battery factories nearly doubled their capacity to more than 4,000 gigawatt-hours of cells a year — more than four times what the market actually bought — with China accounting for more than 80% of the total.

Charlotte Knights 9, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 8 (10 innings)
The Knights (65-56) struck first in the second inning. Edgar Quero led off with a double, and Caden Connor drove him in for a quick 1-0 edge. Shane Smith, still lost, flooded the basepaths with traffic in the bottom half and let the RailRiders swipe the lead right back. Jairo Iriarte took over in the third and immediately served up a two-run homer. By the fifth, Tanner McDougal was getting shelled for four unearned runs, and Charlotte was buried, 8-1. Ouch.
Apparently, though, the Knights offense wasn't interested in going quietly. Charlotte finally came alive with three runs in the eighth, highlighted by a two-run bomb from Junior Perez and four walks, before erupting for four more tallies in the ninth. Mario Camilletti delivered the big blow with a bases-clearing double, and Andy Weber added an RBI single to complete the surge and knot things at 8-8. Jaden Woods kept the RailRiders off the board in the ninth to send it to extras, where Rikuu Nishida started at second as the ghost runner. Michael Turner moved him to third with a ground out, and Ryan Galanie brought him home with a sacrifice fly for the 9-8 lead. Garrett Schoenle handled the bottom of the 10th, working around a walk to finish off a remarkable comeback win for the Knights.

TOKYO (AP) — Record-breaking rainfall flooded cities east of Tokyo overnight, killing at least five people, injuring over two dozen others and stranding thousands, authorities said Friday.
As the deluge subsided, the **** an Meteorological Agency downgraded its most severe heavy-rain warning in more than a dozen municipalities in the prefecture of Chiba while forecasting more rain later Friday.
The prefecture saw unprecedented rainfall levels Thursday, with 1.5 centimeters (4.5 inches) in just one hour in Chiba City and 9.7 centimeters (3.8 inches) fell in one hour in the city of Sakura, JMA said.
Photos and television footage showed widespread damage, with homes, cars and parts of railway tracks filled with muddy water. Roads and dozens of homes were also flooded and some areas remained without power.
Chiba prefecture officials said the five deaths included a man found floating on a flooded road in Ichikawa city and a woman who had been stuck in a flooded car in Sakura. Two others were presumed dead after being pulled from flooded cars in the cities of Kashiwa and Chiba.

Detroit – Couldn't catch them. Not in the standings, not in either of the first two games.
The Central Division-leading Chicago White Sox, for the second straight game, jumped on the Tigers early and didn't relent, taking the second game of the series Saturday, 4-3, in front of another big crowd (33,119) at Comerica Park.
The loss drops the Tigers 4.5 games back.
The White Sox broke a 3-3 tie in the seventh with an RBI single by Andrew Benintendi on a ball that deflected off diving shortstop Kevin McGonigle's glove.
The White Sox, after banging out 14 hits and four homers Friday night, flooded the bases again with 12 hits. They had a runner at second base and no outs in five of the first seven innings, including the seventh when right-handed pinch-hitter Randal Grichuk doubled off lefty Drew Sommers.

Milan legend Roberto Donadoni reveals how he would've dealt with Rafael Leao in the dressing room. 'I'd grab him by the dreadlocks every now and then.'
The winger is looking to leave the club this summer, insisting that he is ready to move beyond the Rossoneri, but in turn the fans are frustrated with his inconsistent performances.

That is also why the expected big offers have not flooded in this summer, as only Turkish teams like Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Besiktas have made genuine approaches, and none are prepared to pay the €50m plus add-ons asking price.
MilanNews turned to club legend Donadoni to ask how he would've dealt with a teammate like Rafael Leao, and the response was not positive.

Social media has recently been flooded with clips of pro athletes lamenting that their multimillion-dollar contracts don't go as far as people think. While such complaints can be easy to dunk on, the underlying point is important. The problem is the messenger.
The recent wave may have started with resurfaced clips of JJ Redick, one from February 2024 and another from March 2024, explaining how taxes and other costs can dramatically reduce a player's take-home pay.
"I think people should listen, because they're telling the truth," Chris Bosh recently told Front Office Sports. "And it's really interesting how people don't want to listen to that, but if I told you that player X is signing a three-year, $150 million deal, you'll believe it. It's not $150 million. That's what they're trying to get people to understand."
Financial advisors who work with athletes say the public often overestimates how wealthy professional athletes actually are, especially given taxes, short careers, and, in some cases, financial mismanagement.
"The general public ******* umption—which is that if you make it to the pros you are set for life—is far from true," says Perigon Wealth Management's head of sports and entertainment Marc Specht.

Baseball fans in Greenville were in for a wild night on Wednesday. They witnessed a home run and a full-fledged brawl within a matter of seconds. During Greenville Drive's victory over the Hub City Spartanburgers, a home run celebration by one of the Red Sox's top prospects sparked a benches-clearing brawl as players from both teams clashed on the field. The 19-year-old Red Sox prospect was eventually ejected from the game.
"Red Sox #3 prospect Justin Gonzales got ejected for slapping the catcher after his home run," Jomboy Media captioned their X post.
Against Hub City, Gonzales drove in the winning runs with a massive three-run blast. He came to bat with Greenville already leading and extended it to 13-6. After launching his 13 homer of the season, Gonzales took his time around the bases while admiring his shot. As he crossed home plate, catcher Cal Stark threw some words in Gonzales' way, which clearly did not sit well with the young outfielder.
Teammates rushed in to hold him back, but keeping the 6-foot-5, 210-pound Gonzales in check was easier said than done. Even the umpires were reduced to mere spectators as Gonzales broke free and slapped Stark's mask, which absorbed most of the impact of the slap.
As the incident unfolded, both teams flooded the field, and the heat of the moment was hard to miss. Meanwhile, Gonzales' Greenville teammates struggled to get him away from the field and inside the dugout.
