The New York Times is kicking off 2026 by releasing a new two-player game called Crossplay, a brainteaser designed for friendly competition and social connection. Bell noted the time it takes to develop games that get released by The New York Times by sharing that Crossplay was first pitched about three years ago. The new game joins a lineup that has become a cornerstone of The New York Times offerings. The first original logic puzzle from the Times was solved 612 million times after its release, according to Bell. The game involves players dragging and dropping dominoes to satisfy specific conditions on the game board.

Once—it sounds a little strange but I was explaining to the president, President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity, and other things at very low prices. Don’t forget, we went through the Russia Russia Russia hoax together. They have great land, great minerals and other things, and we have things that they want very badly, but the Russia Russia Russia hoax, which was a terrible made-up fictional thing by crooked Hillary and by Adam Shifty Schiff and bad people, sick people. Trump told reporters he had had another “very good talk” with Putin this morning, after his Sunday meeting with Zelensky. Whether because of Trump’s or Putin’s weakening position—or both—both Trump and Putin appear to be eager to close the deal.

“We also always make a few really special canapés – ones that they love, and it changes with time. “The constant through all of it has been board games. We’ll have the kitchen set up for board games, a table in the lounge for board games – sometimes there’s been a season where the older kids have learnt poker or 21, so we’ll have a few different gaming areas going. We’re really into escape room board games as well, the cardboard ones you can buy.

I even tried family therapy with my parents, which lasted three sessions before we went back to no contact. With my partner, my ally in life, I felt safe to renegotiate my relationship with my parents. Reestablishing contact didn’t start with a huge aha moment or tearful reconciliation, because I know that this isn’t possible for us. So no, Mel Robbins, I don’t think life is too short to fight with your family. If anything, life is too short not to fight for what you need.

Originally Published: 27 OCT 25 05:30 ET(CNN) — Money can be a fraught issue for most couples. Not to mention that everybody’s money behaviors are influenced by their experiences around money growing up.

Since 2010, fatalities and serious injuries related to speeding and aggressive driving increased by 52%, according to the California Department of Transportation. The pilot program, called Forwarded Actions for Speeding Tickets, is a joint effort by the DMV and California Highway Patrol to reverse the alarming rise in traffic fatalities, according to the California State Transportation Agency.

LOS ANGELES — Last January, D'Anton Lynn was given the chance to trade in his defensive coordinator job with the Trojans to lead the defense at his alma mater, Penn State. But Lynn turned Penn State down, and USC, in turn, gave its rising star coach a significant raise. What changed in the 11 months between those two offers, outside of new leadership at Penn State, remains unclear. At USC, Lynn engineered an impressive turnaround of a Trojans defense that completely unraveled under previous coordinator Alex Grinch. USC allowed fewer points per game during the 2025 regular season, but struggled especially to stop the run and prevent big plays.
