Mercedes-Benz has been spotted testing an electric compact sedan with coupe-like styling. The car is destined to be a member of the next-generation CLA-Class range, a preview of which was given in the form of a concept at the 2023 Munich auto show.

The platform will support both hybrid and electric powertrains. Prototypes for the hybrid CLA-Class…
PJ Washington was added to the Dallas Mavericks at the trade deadline in an attempt to rectify an off-season mistake. Washington has been a revelation defensively, despite modest counting numbers. Plus/minus is a flawed statistic because of the old statistics fact that association does not equal causation. That being said, the Mavericks have been much better with Washington on the floor since he got here, and he is part of the cause. With Washington on the floor, the Mavericks’ defensive rating is nearly a full seven points per 100 possessions lower than it is with him off the floor, dropping…
Liberty Media on Monday announced plans to acquire premier motorcycle racing series MotoGP in a deal valued at 4.2 billion euros (approximately $4.53 billion). It means the U.S. media giant will soon own the highest echelon of motorsports on both two and four wheels.

by Jare C (@jareccurtis)In the midst of a cultural and political moment plagued by bigotry, discriminatory legislation, the restriction of reproductive rights, a genocide, and so much other destructive, hateful chaos, punk music and its offshoots feels particularly apt. The spaces- physical, online, and ideological- that it creates often feels like the safest place for dissent and creation of new ideas- as well as an outlet for catharsis, community unity, and general organizing. On their latest split, three tentpole bands of the scene and its adjacent communities – Deaf Club, The HIRS Collective, and Fuck Money – unify their sounds…
Seeing Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s love story unfold up close has been quite the experience for the tight end’s family. During an appearance Monday on “Today,” Kylie Kelce — who is married to Travis’ older brother, newly retired Eagles center Jason Kelce — was asked about the couple, whose relationship continues to dominate headlines this NFL offseason. “Ultimately, if Trav is happy we’re happy. We are always cheering on Uncle Trav, it’s such a treat to be able to do that on and off the field, but it’s been amazing,” said Kylie, who shares daughters Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3,…
Lee had just been dumped when she found out she was pregnant. With no car, no job and no support, the 23-year-old — who asked that her last name be withheld for medical privacy — ended up at the virtual clinic Hey Jane, where she was quickly assessed and prescribed abortion medication. Four months later, thousands of Californians in a similar situation have been holding their breath as the U.S. Supreme Court weighed a case that could rewrite the rules of care in more than two-thirds of U.S. abortions, limiting access to a popular drug even in states where it…
It took six countries, 18 years, and a litany of lies, but Natalee Holloway and Stephany Ramirez both have justice. Throughout the tabloid frenzy, the international headlines, the years of rumors and myths of stranger danger and child trafficking, there was only ever one real main suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. The Alabama teen, who vanished from a beach in Aruba while on her senior high school trip in 2005, became one of the most famous missing persons cases of the decade. But despite the relentless media attention focused on her abduction, the likely perpetrator seemed to evade…
