The Spurs, sans Tim Duncan, beat the Warriors 129-100 in the season opener Tuesday night. Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge didn’t come in with the buzz that Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green did, but the Spurs’ new cornerstones in the wake of Duncan’s retirement came up big. MORE: 2016-17 predictions — the Warriors’ road to a championship Leonard scored a career-high 35 points while Aldridge added 26 points and 14 rebounds for the Spurs, who beat the Warriors at Oracle Arena, where the team went 39-2 last regular season....

However, what is equally, if not more important is taking the time to recognize areas where we continue to come up short. As the executive editor of Gays With Kids—the web’s leading magazine and resource for queer dads and dads to be—I’ve had the pleasure of sharing the family creation stories of hundreds of gay, bi and trans fathers. These stories tend to be among the most widely-read because the paths to fatherhood available to queer men, like surrogacy, adoption and foster care, are riddled with many potential pitfalls that anyone who manages to overcome them will have an inspiring story to tell....

Pep Guardiola’s arrival during the following campaign meant the Englishman’s presence was increasingly quiet amidst their handful of summer acquisitions. In a miraculous turn of events since, Delph finds himself as a regular starter and an important contributor within City’s side. They continue to seemingly cruise towards their second Premier League title in four seasons - with Delph featuring from a fullback position....

Cost of a Loss A second consecutive loss to The Balor Club would have been devastating. Fans may have started to think of The Revival as jobbers. The Revival would have fallen into a group that includes teams such as Titus Worldwide and The Ascension. Dash and Dawson would have been a team struggling to be relevant in WWE. Rewards of Winning A win keeps The Revival relevant and in contention for the Raw tag team championship....

Pilgrimages are a part of nearly every religion. The faithful set out in hopes of finding virtue and gaining merit. Among Buddhists, they visit places where a spiritual master once spent time meditating. His presence makes the place seem somehow blessed or charged, as if there is some kind of electricity around it. Pilgrims come to feel these mysterious vibrations. They try to share in the visions of the master....

Tree Wood and Pollen Transfer Trees like cedar, oak, hickory, and mesquite are commonly used in barbecuing and contain a high amount of allergen in their wood and pollen. While some believe that the allergen is indestructible even if it is burned through combustion, other studies indicate that smoke from certain trees contains no allergens.  During barbecuing, the allergen may stay in the smoke and is transported through the air....

To make clear, Ubisoft explicitly stated that The Division 2 “will be backwards compatible with next-gen consoles.” That doesn’t mean that The Division 2 will be improved for next-gen consoles. It also doesn’t mean that The Division 2 will be ready for next-gen consoles as the PS5 and Xbox Series X launch. The Division 2 may or may not be available for players to play on each console’s launch day....

The Division players (specifically Xbox and PC players) that have spent some time with the new Dragon’s Nest Incursion likely know The Four Horsemen all too well. These four cleaners serve as mid-bosses for the endgame activity, throwing down with players in a parking lot early on. However, what makes these four cleaners so special is that each counts as an end-game boss, and therefore they can drop some high gear score loot....

Could it happen? The welfare state as we know it grew out of the “New Jerusalem” spirit in Britain after World War II. Born of the wartime thinking of Keynesian economist William Beveridge, and animated by fear of unemployment, such systems will find it difficult to adapt to the coming world of labor shortages. “The current welfare state was built on the image of risks facing our grandparents’ generation,” says Professor Gosta Esping-Anderson of Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona....

Despite a middling sequel on the Xbox 360 with Perfect Dark: Zero, the adventures of secret agent Joanna Dark seem to have gone completely incognito over the past two decades. However, just as fans were about to give up hope on a follow-up, a proper reboot of the franchise was revealed during the 2020 Game Awards showcase, immediately generating a ton of hype. Being developed by new studio formed by Xbox called The Initiative, Perfect Dark seems to be in great hands considering the talent within the team....

Closer to home, my own shock left me unable to come up with a joke for nearly two weeks, something that has never happened in my 10 years of writing for late-night television. Two months later I still struggle to be appropriately funny, a concept as foreign to today’s phalanx of comedy writers as “recession” was to Generation Y. Why were TV’s funnymen and those of us who write for them so paralyzed?...

The Trump presidency was filled with controversies, from his ban on immigration from designated Muslim countries, to his policies on the Mexican border, to his inconsistencies with regard to COVID-19 and finally to his unwillingness to accept the outcome of the 2020 election. The Trump era ends with even more division than existed when it began. Trump contributed to that, but so did his enemies. Trump haters demanded that everyone choose sides and pass purity tests....
