Elon Musk entertains idea of buying MSNBC
NoneIt’s not Victory Monday for the Falcons , but it’s sure better than the prior two Mondays following the losses to the Saints and Broncos. It was a bye week for the Atlanta faithful, but there was plenty to watch around the league, namely the Buccaneers taking on the Giants in the Meadowlands. While the first-place Falcons got healthy during their bye week, the Bucs got to play Tommy DeVito and the reeling Giants, who look like an absolute dumpster fire. Tampa Bay crushed New York 30-7, breaking a four-game losing streak and improving their record to 5-6 behind the 6-5 Falcons. Over the next six games, the Falcons will play three teams that currently have winning records, while the Bucs only have one such team remaining on their schedule as they try to win the division for a fourth consecutive season. Although we can acknowledge the Bucs are ascending and the Falcons have been descending, it’s a complete overreaction to say Atlanta will falter down the stretch and lose the NFC South. It’s not impossible that the Falcons lose a few more games; in fact, it’s likely. It’s also not impossible for Baker Mayfield and the Bucs to overcome a one-game deficit. However, there’s one key issue. The Falcons not only hold a one-game lead over their division rivals, but they don’t play each other again, and Atlanta already owns the tiebreaker thanks to their 2-0 record over Tampa Bay. The Bucs will have to outpace the Falcons by more than just the current one-game deficit. If the Falcons can win three of their final six games, just simply going .500, that’ll force the Bucs to win five of their final six games. If the Falcons win four of six, the Bucs will have to run the table to win the division. While it might not seem like it right now, the Falcons are still in firm control of the NFC South.

guitarist has shared an inspiring message as he celebrates six years of sobriety. Morton, 52, says he had been drinking heavily and for "decades" and taking opiates for 10 years before he finally got clean and sober. And in case any fans who need help are worried about the challenge ahead, Morton wanted to share some encouragement. In a social media post, he writes: "I woke up this morning with six years clean and sober. "This comes after decades of drinking nearly every day and with the final 10 years of that compounded by an aggressively progressive opiate addiction that almost killed me. "I’m writing this just in case someone out there who feels as hopeless, helpless and crippled by addiction as I once did might read it and start to believe that recovery is possible. "You can get clean and live a life beyond anything you’ve ever dreamed of. Find an alcoholic or addict living in recovery. Ask them what they did. You’re worth it." Morton has been open about his road to recovery. Earlier this year, he explained how icon to stay clean.

In his memoir , out now via Hachette Books, Morton wrote: "Drinking and drugging had been an ingrained part of my creative process, freeing me from the barriers of self-doubt and inhibition. Could I even do it without being fucked up on something? "I tried picking up a guitar and riffing around, but everything felt empty and lame. What had once been a natural, free-flowing relationship between my instrument and me now felt stiff and unfamiliar. I asked around for some insight and help, as I had been advised to do in rehab. "A mutual friend put me in touch with Slash, who had gotten clean some years earlier. Slash graciously called me one afternoon and patiently listened to my tale of creative insecurity and fear. 'You’re putting too much pressure on yourself,' he told me sympathetically. 'It’s unrealistic for you to think that you can tap right back into your creative element so soon after the shock of getting clean. You’re learning a whole new way to live. You’re going to have to prioritize staying clean over everything else right now if you want it to stick.'" pic.twitter.com/nBwin74ZQz Stef wrote close to 5,000 stories during his time as assistant online news editor and later as online news editor between 2014-2016.

In a conversation with correspondent M K Suresh, Sudheeran shared his thoughts. Regardless of the position held, A K Antony firmly believed no office should be used for personal gain. This principle defined Antony's political philosophy, which often saw him relinquishing or declining positions without hesitation. Antony’s organisational style emphasised expressing disagreements within party forums, ensuring his actions never brought harm or crisis to the party. Throughout his political journey, Antony maintained his simplicity and commitment to ideals, earning him the reputation of being a symbol of modesty and principle. On Saturday, as Antony turned 84, Sudheeran evaluated his contributions and wished him well, recounting his memories and experiences with the veteran leader. Antony has always been known for his simplicity, non-partisan approach and staunch commitment to secularism. He upheld the secular and economic policies inspired by Jawaharlal Nehru. From his youth, Antony displayed an openness to speak out against any decisions he opposed, but always did so within party platforms. One striking example of Antony's courage was during the Guwahati AICC session when he voiced his concerns over the misuse of power during the Emergency. Despite the authoritarian environment of the time, his boldness even prompted Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to reconsider certain actions. Antony’s criticisms never strained his personal relationships, regardless of whether the disagreements were with party colleagues or political opponents. When veteran leader K Karunakaran left the Congress to form the Democratic Indira Congress (DIC), Antony played a crucial role in urging him to return. Antony once remarked to Karunakaran’s son K Muraleedharan at an event in Kayamkulam, “Please convey to your father my request not to leave the Congress or form a new party.” Antony later worked diligently to facilitate Karunakaran’s return, and his support was instrumental in Muraleedharan securing a Lok Sabha seat. In May 1964, a Kerala Students Union (KSU) state camp was held in Aluva, where Vayalar Ravi was the president, and Antony served as the treasurer. The camp laid the foundation for Antony’s leadership in KSU, which he later revitalised by reorganising university unions and championing issues like fee standardisation. Antony also became the Youth Congress State President and led numerous initiatives, including a historic march from Kasaragod to Thiruvananthapuram against the policies of the EMS Government. In 1969, following the split in the Congress party, a new KPCC committee was formed with advocate K K Viswanathan as convener. Vacancies in the KPCC were filled by appointing young leaders, including myself, as members. In the subsequent elections, K K Viswanathan became president, and A K Antony was made general secretary. The other general secretaries were Meleth Narayanan Nambiar and A Mohammed Koya, also known as Appakoya. During this period, the government led by EMS was replaced by an alternative government under the leadership of Achutha Menon. K Karunakaran, the parliamentary party leader, along with other MLAs who supported Indira Gandhi, backed the Achutha Menon government. A liaison committee was formed for policy formulation, with M N Govindan Nair and A K Antony as conveners. M N, a magnanimous leader, entrusted Antony with most of the responsibilities, a testament to Antony's loyalty and reliability. Antony played a crucial role in the government. When the opposition planned a no-confidence motion against the government, Achutha Menon pre-emptively dissolved the assembly and called for fresh elections after passing a confidence motion in the House. Antony, Oommen Chandy, A C Shanmukhadas, N Ramakrishnan, Kottara Gopalakrishnan, K Raghavan Master and M V Rajan Master were among the young leaders who emerged victorious. At the time, the Kerala Students Union (KSU) and the Youth Congress formed the backbone of the Congress party. The Youth Congress’s stance against joining the Cabinet was accepted by the party. However, after the 1971 elections, Indira Gandhi endorsed the idea of participating in governance, leading to K Karunakaran being appointed as Home Minister. Although Karunakaran proposed making Antony a minister, Antony voluntarily stepped aside. Under leaders like Vayalar Ravi, Antony and Oommen Chandy, the study camps organised by the Youth Congress and KSU provided ideological clarity and nurtured a cadre deeply committed to the organisation. These camps fostered close bonds between leaders and workers, strengthening the party’s unity and resolve. Antony played a key role in managing internal party crises, including addressing demands for ministerial changes during the Emergency and handling sensitive issues within the KPCC. He maintained a principled stand against the misuse of power and prioritised party unity. Antony’s public life was marked by his unwavering adherence to moral values. As Defence Minister in the UPA government, he ensured transparency and ordered CBI investigations into allegations, earning widespread respect. His tenure as Kerala Chief Minister saw him implementing significant decisions like toddy ban, despite political risks. Antony’s traits of honesty, organisational commitment, and an anti-corruption stance are qualities future generations must emulate. Leaders like Vayalar Ravi, Antony and Oommen Chandy have been Sudheeran’s mentors, and their ability to accept open criticism without letting it strain relationships has been remarkable. Antony’s personal humility and his refusal to seek positions of power are noteworthy. While it may be coincidental that Antony and the Congress Party share the same birth date, the emotional bond between the two is undeniable.The Dyson Airwrap is $120 off ahead of Black Friday - finally

Dallas forward Naji Marshall was suspended for four games and Suns center Jusuf Nurkic for three while Mavericks forward P.J Washington will sit out one game. The incident came with 9:02 remaining in the third quarter when Nurkic committed on offensive foul on Dallas's Daniel Gifford. "Marshall and Nurkic then engaged in an on-court altercation. Nurkic escalated it by swinging his arm and striking Marshall on top of his head. Marshall responded by throwing a punch that connected with Nurkic's face," the NBA said in a statement. "As the officials and other players attempted to diffuse the situation, Washington further escalated the altercation by shoving Nurkic to the floor. For their roles, Marshall, Nurkic and Washington were assessed technical fouls and ejected from the game," the league added. Marshall late confronted Nurkic near the locker rooms, in a "hostile manner" according to the NBA. The NBA said the players will not be paid during their suspension periods. sev/bb
