The 19-year-old’s college season at Stanford was cut short when she broke her ankle in September.

The Russian superstar is coming off a 50-goal season in 2021-22, the ninth one of his career. He remains one of the game’s most dangerous goal-scorers, with his signature one-time slap shot from the left dot continuing to terrorize goaltenders, even in his 18th season in the league. It’s improbable that Ovechkin breaks the record this season — he’s under 100 goals behind Gretzky, but it would take Ovi breaking Gretzky’s other record of most goals in a single season, while also becoming the first player ever to hit triple digits in goals in one year....

The Democratic New York Representative stood by her outfit choice at the exclusive event, telling her detractors “the medium is the message” in a series of tweets on Tuesday. “Proud to work with Aurora James as a sustainability focused, Black woman immigrant designer who went from starting her dream Brother Vellies at a flea market in Brooklyn to winning the cfda [the Council of Fashion Designers of America] against all odds - and then work together to kick open the doors at the Met,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote alongside a photo of herself and the designer, seemingly taken just before the gala on Monday night....

The new m18 is technically the reintroduction of a device that was discontinued in 2015, but plenty has changed since then.

That’s 13th-gen CPUs on the Intel side – from Core i7-13650HX to Core i9-13980HX – which the company only announced a few hours earlier....
