The Golden State Warriors’ Plan B may already have a name.

A metal detectorist in Norway dismissed a rare 900-year-old silver coin as a button, before researchers realized it was a one-of-a-kind piece linked to Magnus Barefoot (also known as Magnus Berrføtt), the warrior ruler often called Norway’s last Viking king.The coin, found in a field near Utstein Monastery in southwest Norway, dates to Barefoot’s reign from 1093 to 1103. It is the first coin of its type ever discovered on Norwegian soil, according to a December 2025 translated statement from the University of Stavanger Museum of Archaeology.”It is a fascinating thought that we may be just one large treasure find…

Two new California taxes next year described as “the largest tax increase in state history” have sparked outrage among businesses and other critics furious with elected officials for jacking up the state’s already-high cost of living. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democratic lawmakers recently enacted a state budget that would raise health insurance premiums and slap a new charge on software downloads in an effort to make up federal revenue loss from an antagonistic Trump administration, Democrats said. “What happened to addressing the affordability crisis that was supposed to be such a priority?” said state Sen. Tony Strickland. “These tax increases could…

Not so fast on the “rapid bus routes!” Bronx politicians blasted Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s news $800 million plan to speed up city bus routes on Thursday — saying it could make the affected streets more dangerous for pedestrians. The elected officials groaned that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority has already torn out bus stops along the Grand Concourse in 2022 and said the new routes will mean even fewer stops and seniors crossing busy thoroughfares to make their bus. “I want the MTA to stop making everything about them and money,” said Yvonne Miller, a longtime resident in her 60s who…

Chiffon? In this economy? This week’s Paris Haute Couture shows swapped the usual piles of handmade lace and crystal-coated leather for materials often on shelves at the Dollar Store — or even better yet, Home Depot, like latex balloons, crumpled chicken wire, ripped denim, and clumps of very photogenic hay. The bargain-bin brilliance comes as U.S. inflation rates hit 4.2 percent, resulting in designer dresses that were once $500 to $2,000 now in the $10,000 range. When even the ultra-rich are hit with sticker shock, fashion has some work to do to survive disgruntled shoppers and skeptical critics. Apparently, that…

LeBron James’ free agency has officially moved from the rumor mill to the back nine.

A years-long malaria control campaign in the Brazilian Amazon nearly eliminated the disease from a city — but then cases rebounded. Now, scientists think they’ve uncovered why.The campaign took place in northern Brazil during the construction of the Belo Monte Dam in the Xingu River, one of the largest hydroelectric dams in the world.

But the program ended, and within a few years, infections had rebounded to more than 700 cases a year. This time, they were concentrated in the rural…

Wall Street investors are reportedly flooding back into tobacco stocks, erasing years of ethical boycotts as the industry’s aggressive pivot toward smoke-free products blurs old moral lines. For nearly a decade, pension funds and major endowments blacklisted cigarette makers under strict mandates. But that taboo is quickly going up in smoke. Tobacco companies generating massive sales from non-combustible alternatives are “rejoining polite society” and earning premium stock market valuations from returning institutional capital, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. The shift gained fresh momentum when the Food and Drug Administration gave the green light for Philip Morris to market 20…
