A 21-year-old socialist and unpaid former NYC Council intern who claimed she was axed after demanding she and her peers get paid $32 an hour with full health benefits — and plans to sue the Council — was born into wealth. Mina Farahmand — who willingly interned for free last year to help get fellow silver-spoon socialist Zohran Mamdani elected mayor – is the daughter of a prominent surgeon and grew up in a palatial six-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home on 30 acres in Colville, Wash. Her father, Mehrdad Farahmand, is a general-surgery specialist at Providence, the largest health care provider in Washington…

With violent conflicts happening across the world right now, war feels like a permanent condition. But have humans ever lived without war?The answer depends on how you define “war.” If war means a fight between two governments, then yes, there have been peaceful periods “because for nearly 99% of human history, there were no governments,” said Ian Morris, a historian at Stanford University and author of “War! What Is It Good For? Conflict and the Progress of Civilization from Primates to Robots” (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2014).Violence, on the other hand, has always been with us. If the question becomes…

Adam Sandler has quietly become one of the most unexpected constants in Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s love story — and in July 2026, he made it official.

SEATTLE — There’s no real way to define the kind of win the U.S. national team doesn’t have, so people have settled on “signature win,” as if its three victories so far at this World Cup don’t qualify. Maybe the better way to put it is a win as an underdog, which the USMNT hasn’t had at a World Cup since 2002. Of course, if you want to get technical, whether the U.S. is an underdog Monday against Belgium depends on where and when you’re getting odds. Still, this Round of 16 clash would qualify, in this ill-defined manner, as…

DEAR ABBY: After a tumultuous breakup, I reconnected with two men through friends. I’ve known and liked them both for years. One lives in Europe; the other lives here in New York. Both are wonderful, respectful and caring, and I feel beyond lucky. Both say they are in love with me and want to pursue a serious future. Call me crazy, but I love them both for different reasons. How do I possibly choose?  Do I choose the romantic European dreamer who makes me believe in magic but may eventually annoy me with his dreams and lack of action, plus…

SEATTLE — Belgium spent the first week of this World Cup looking strangely ordinary. By the time the Round of 16 arrived, the Red Devils had reminded everyone exactly why they remain one of the world’s most dangerous teams. Belgium limped through scoreless stretches against Egypt and Iran, producing just one goal in its first two group matches before erupting for five goals in a demolition of New Zealand to close out the group stage. Then came an even louder warning. Trailing Senegal deep into the Round of 32, Belgium waited patiently before detonating, scoring two goals in less than…
