Basketball star James Harden is receiving widespread applause from NBA fans after he turned down a $47.3 million deal in order to help his team, the Philadelphia 76ers. Harden has reportedly declined the option from the Sixers in order to become a free agent, but he seemingly intends to play for them, freeing up cash needed to allow the Philadelphia-based team to boost their roster. The news has been seemingly confirmed by The Athletic and ESPN, though Harden, nor the 76ers have yet to make a public statement of their own. Social media has heaped praise on Harden for his apparent decision, with many suggesting he's prioritizing championships over cash. "James Harden didn't take the money because winning a ring is more important to him," wrote @TerryFranconia, adding, "Put some respect on [the] James Harden name."

Lots of fans get tattoos to honor their favorite teams—but getting your entire back covered with the likeness of your favorite team's backup QB is a bit more unusual. That's exactly what a fan did, however, to honor Super Bowl-winning Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles. Foles described meeting the man who got the tattoo in an interview with the Huffington Post published on Wednesday . Asked by writer Laura Bassett—who was Foles' childhood friend—about his weirdest fan encounter, the Philly QB brought up the back tattoo. "The tattoo things are pretty crazy," he said. "I met a guy at a signing the other day—his whole back was me with a trophy on the 'Rocky' steps." Bassett followed up, "Wow. Was it a good tat? What did you say?" "I mean, it was his whole back," Foles responded, via the Huffington Post. "Forever. There's not much you can say. I was like, 'That's cool, man.' That's there forever." To be fair to the Eagles fan, Foles did lead Philadelphia—a city that is … [Read more...] about An Eagles fan covered his entire back with a Nick Foles tattoo

Taylor Swift introduced her new boyfriend to her parents already. E! reports that the singer went to lunch with her parents while Tom Hiddleston, her rumored new beau, stayed behind. Afterwards, Hiddleston joined the group. Taylor also introduced Tom to some of her friends and even went on a double date with friends in Nashville. The group was seen at Adele’s restaurant. The night before, the couple went to an “intimate” dinner and “seemed very comfortable with each other,” a spectator said. They also attended Selena Gomez’s concert with close friends of Taylor, so it’s been a busy few days for the pair. If this all seems like it’s happening too fast, E! claims that the singer was “hesitant to get involved quickly.” This seems like standard operating procedure for the 35-year-old actor, who admitted to Vulture that his “great strength, and great weakness, is that I can’t do anything by halves.” “So when I do something I do it to the exclusion of everything else. … [Read more...] about Taylor Swift Brings Tom Hiddleston Home To Meet Her Parents

At a press conference for media who had just watched a screening of Neill Blomkamp's movie Chappie , some bizarre questions were traded on what would make an ideal robot, the art of creating the most stereotypical Australian character, and which comic book hero or robot would win in a fight. Why do themes like artificial intelligence keep resonating with humanity as we advance? Neill Blomkamp: My point of view on AI, which ties into the nature for humans constantly looking into the reasons for why we exist and why consciousness exists, changed during the making of Chappie . I'm not actually completely sure that humans are going to be capable of giving birth to AI in the way that films fictionalize it. You have weak artificial intelligence which is like a robot or computer system that follows a list of protocols that are yes, no answers that can be as complex as you want. And then you have strong AI, which is basically like a human, something that can think up a thought … [Read more...] about Chappie Stars Discuss Robot Fights, Animated Butlers and Mullets

World Hamas Gaza Palestine Liberation Organization Israel No place in the Arab world could be more different from the Gaza Strip than Abu Dhabi. The affluent emirate on the Gulf has shimmering skyscrapers, a Grand Prix racetrack and its own Louvre . Yet Mohammed Dahlan, the 53-year-old Gaza native and exiled political leader, seems comfortable here. His home is a glossy mingling of marble and glass, with chandeliers hanging from high ceilings and framed paintings on the walls. On a sunny winter day recently, he worked in his garden dressed in jeans and soft loafers, then greeted me on his waterfront patio. But for all its luxuriousness, Abu Dhabi is only temporary, Dahlan says—a staging area where he now plots his comeback. He's lived in this city for four years, ever since Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas expelled him from the governing Fatah party and charged him with corruption and defamation. The rift between them cut short a political career that seemed … [Read more...] about Exiled in Abu Dhabi, Mohammed Dahlan Dreams of Gaza

Jerusalem: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cancelled an agreement with the UN refugee agency on Tuesday aimed at avoiding forced deportations of thousands of African migrants only hours after having announced the deal himself. The stunning turnaround after Netanyahu announced the accord in a televised address on Monday afternoon came as he faced mounting pressure from his right-wing base. The UN refugee agency urged Netanyahu to reconsider. Yesterday's announcement drew immediate anger from right-wing politicians, including Netanyahu allies, and many of his traditional supporters. After the deluge of criticism, the premier said in a late-night Facebook post on Monday he was suspending the agreement that would have allowed thousands of the migrants to remain in Israel at least temporarily. Today, he said the deal was being cancelled outright after having held discussions on it. "After having heard numerous comments on the agreement, I have examined the pros and cons … [Read more...] about Netanyahu Cancels UN Deal on African Migrants in Shock Reversal

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo praised Israel on Wednesday for sharing information during global efforts to combat the coronavirus pandemic and took another swipe at China over what he said was its lack of transparency. US President Donald Trump and his senior officials have engaged in a war of words with China, where the new coronavirus first emerged, saying it failed to inform the world fast enough about the dangers it posed and muzzled those who raised the alarm. Beijing strongly denies the charges. Arriving in Israel on a one-day visit, Pompeo told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "You're a great partner, you share information - unlike some other countries that try and obfuscate and hide that information - and we'll talk about that country, too." Pompeo did not name China and did not give specific examples of Israeli cooperation in the fight against coronavirus. Earlier, Pompeo repeated Washington's charges against Beijing in an interview for the Israel … [Read more...] about Mike Pompeo Lauds Israel over Coronavirus Cooperation, Raps China
