NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Knicks went further than they’d gone in 25 years, just not as far as they hoped.They signaled they were serious about making a run at the NBA title when they traded for Mikal Bridges in the summer and then Karl-Anthony Towns in a preseason blockbuster, adding a top perimeter defender and an All-Star center to a lineup headlined by Jalen Brunson.Their all-in moves just couldn’t get them all the way there.The Knicks were eliminated by the Indiana Pacers on Saturday, leaving them without a championship since 1973.

The other day, my family group chat lit up when I posed a question about whether it’s important to say “please” and “thank you” to ChatGPT when asking it to conduct a niche search or plan out an itinerary.My mother, ever a stickler for manners, said she makes a conscious choice to behave in this way. A choice she said she makes to “keep myself human.”Another loved one later admitted she’s been leaning on the chatbot for guidance as she navigates a tricky moment in her marriage.And I couldn’t resist my temptation to ask ChatGPT to evaluate how attractive I…

CNN  —  When Janet Jackson and Michael Jackson are your aunt and uncle – and your mom is Rebbie Jackson and your other uncles are the rest of the members of the Jackson 5 – getting into the music industry could feel like a double-edged sword. So why do it? “I actually have asked myself that before, but it wasn’t really because of (the) level of artists that I have had in my family.
