NEW YORK — People are talking about boxing again! Sure, it took a guy getting his hairpiece punched off his head to do it, but why complain?

Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, 317-pound heavyweight Jarrell Miller got hit so hard his hair fell off. No, not figuratively. Miller's hairpiece was actually loosened up by the force of a straight left to the face he took from his 288-pound opponent, Kingsley Ibeh, with about a minute left in the second round. Then a quick and equally stout Ibeh right got his head rug flapping. The poor pelt peeled back farther during some infighting between the big lugs and an exchange of blows as the round ended.

Wake up: It's time to solve the Monday crossword. This week's puzzle was constructed by Rebecca Goldstein and Kelsey Dixon, and edited by Hoang-Kim Vu. Rebecca is a crossword constructor from the Bay Area, and Kelsey is a crossword constructor from Chicago. They both lived in Atlanta in the '90s, which is why Kelsey has been trying to start a rumor that Rebecca was her childhood babysitter. They hope you don't take the puzzle too seriously!

Defector crosswords, launched in partnership with our friends at AVCX, run every Monday. If you’re interested in submitting a puzzle to us, you can read our guidelines HERE. 

So much of success is just timing. I feel lucky to have been 20-ish in the mid 1990s, seeing the potential for the web, being able to focus nearly all of my attention on it. The same will happen now for young folks who understand the AI shift. (Ironically, my own kids want nothing to do with it!)

The Minnesota Vikings fired general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah in the middle of the day on Friday. The timing of the move was curious, given that Minnesota’s season ended nearly a month ago and that Adofo-Mensah, right up until the moment of his ouster, was conducting busine...

During an all-hands meeting with CBS News staffers last week, editor-in-chief Bari Weiss attempted to lay out a bold new vision for the network. She encouraged her staff to think of the decades-old TV news operation as a "start-up," and to prioritize "scoops of ideas," "scoo...

Life is what you make it. Attitude. It snowed a week ago in New York City, but it hasn’t warmed up since then, so the dirty snow piles are still stacked along the sidewalks. Even in Midtown, commuters have to line up at corners and walk single file through narrow paths clear...

I have an array built into every app I do, on server or in the browser, called snarkySlogans. When I need a bit of text to test with I just choose a random snarky slogan. They are little truths that have occurred to me over the years. You're free to steal this code, they do come in handy at times. There's a snarky slogan to cover that -- "Only steal from the best." Another one I really like: "Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right."

A note from investigators in the files said some images Epstein had were "POSSIBLE CSAM."

Listening to the latest AppStories podcast. Fun discussion about OpenClaw, but also they make a really good point about the future of software: developers will need to focus even more on polish and making an app feel like a finished product to distinguish from the vibe-coded flood of new apps.

I started reading James Baldwin in college, as a politically curious renegade-in-training. What appealed to me was his deeply philosophical outlook on race in America, the beauty of his prose, and how he brought it all to bear in his writing about the pop culture of his day....
