Fans of Catan will "lose their minds" over Netflix's new multitude of projects based on the venerable strategy board game. The streamer has announced a whole "slate" of adaptations of Catan, scripted, unscripted, live action, and animated coming to its service. No specific projects have been announced, but it seems likely that a show about settlers surviving in the wilderness of the island that forms the game's field of play could be on the table, since that's kinda Catan's whole deal. And of course, "unscripted" programming could mean live-watches of Catan matches, or maybe even a survival reality show. If you haven't played it, Catan is all about players collecting and managing resources such as sheep, wood, wheat, and more as they compete to settle the island which gives the game its name. Catan was created by Klaus Teuber, debuting in 1995 as Settlers of Catan, a name which was shortened in recent years. "Millions of people [have been] enjoying Catan since it was created, and for many it remains a gateway to modern board gaming," says Thomas Koegler, CEO of Catan's publisher Asmodee, in a statement. "I'm thrilled to see the game expanding to a larger audience who will discover the richness of its universe. I find it exciting for the future of the brand. It's also a testament that board gaming is truly part of pop culture and a popular form of entertainment in everyone's homes, and I’m delighted to continue Asmodee’s relationship with Netflix." "Anyone who has played Catan knows [that] the intense strategy and negotiation at the core of the game has endless opportunities for some serious drama," adds Jinny Howe, head of scripted series, US and Canada, Netflix. "We knew landing this deal would be as game-changing as a well-placed settlement, so we decided to pool our resources across series, features, animation, and games and show Asmodee the full power of Netflix when we work together. Hardcore 'Settlers' are going to lose their minds, and new fans will finally learn just how important a sheep trade can be." Netflix hasn't announced any specific Catan projects just yet. While we wait, check out the 25 best shows on Netflix you can watch right now.

Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison has reportedly expressed interest in buying the company, in a sale that could place CNN and CBS under one parent company.
Judd Trump and reigning champion Kyren Wilson were among the winners at the Northern Ireland Open on Tuesday. Trump battled past Jackson Page from Wales 4-2 at the Waterfront Hall to reach the third round. The four-time NI Open champion will face the winner of Gary Wilson and Martin O'Donnell, who meet on Wednesday, for a place in the quarter-finals. Tom Ford also progressed with a 4-1 win over Chris Wakelin, while Yuan Sijun defeated fellow Chinese player Long Zehuang 4-2. Ireland's Aaron Hill held off a Barry Hawkins comeback to win the deciding frame with a superb break of 92. Earlier on Tuesday, Wilson, who defeated Trump in last year's final, booked his spot in the second round by winning a final-frame decider with Oliver Lines. Despite a break of 133 in the third frame, Wilson found himself 3-2 down against Lines but the 2024 world champion won the final two frames to progress. In the other first round matches that opened Tuesday's action in Belfast, Stephen Maguire defeated 2023 world champion Luca Brecel, while there were also victories for Ali Carter, Mark Davis, Si Jiahui and Ryan Day. Home favourites Mark Allen and Jordan Brown are in second-round action on Wednesday. Two-time winner Allen faces Ben Woollaston and Brown, who stunned world champion Zhao Xingtong in the opening round, faces Ashley Hugill. Both matches start at 19:00 BST.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Portland Trail Blazers have exercised their team options on contract extensions for guard Scoot Henderson, forward Kris Murray and center Donovan Clingan. The Blazers announced the extensions, which were largely a formality, with the three players on Tuesday, a day before the team’s season opener at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves. All three were former first-round picks. Henderson, in his third season with the Blazers, is sidelined for the start of the season with a left hamstring tear. He averaged 12.7 points, 5.1 assists and 3.0 rebounds last season. Murray, also in his third season, averaged 4,2 points and 2.6 rebounds in 15.1 minutes per game last season. Clingan averaged 6.5 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.6 blocks as a rookie last season. Over the weekend, the Blazers reached a four-year rookie extension with guard Shaedon Sharpe worth $90 million and an $82 million four-year extension with forward Toumani Camara. Camara became key to Portland’s defense last season and averaged 11.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists. His 1.5 steals per game ranked ninth in the league and he earned All-Defensive second team honors. Sharpe averaged 18.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists last season. “It just alleviates so much stress. There are so many things in an NBA season that provide stress to you,” Blazers coach Chauncey Billups said. “It’s one of those things you just get it out the way. You can really now focus on trying to be the best that you can be, helping the team the best that you can and not have the pressure of worrying about: ‘If I don’t play well, what can happen?’” Billups said the starters for Wednesday’s game will be Sharpe, Camara, Clingan, Jrue Holiday and Deni Avdija.

President Trump and White House officials have been picking and choosing what programs to fund while the federal government is shut down — and they’re doing it without permission from Congress. A bipartisan handful of lawmakers aren’t happy. Here’s how the cycle has gone in recent weeks: The White House and Republican lawmakers will engage in public hand-wringing about the troops not getting paid or mothers on WIC losing access to the supplemental nutrition program. The Trump White House then, days later, decides that it’s going to pull some funding from supposed tariff revenue to fund WIC, or from some unspent pocket of Pentagon research to cover the paychecks of active duty service members. Most of the public outcry over troops not getting paid or low-income families not getting their WIC or SNAP benefits has been used as a cudgel to attack Democrats and blame them for the shutdown (which ignores the fact that Republicans could easily earn their votes to reopen the government if they engaged with Dems’ requests to extend Obamacare subsidies set to expire in December). The White House has also been politically selective about what programs they’re using to attack Dems, and which they’re quietly keeping funded, too. Last week, for example, it was reported that the White House planned to find a way to continue paying Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents throughout the shutdown, despite funding lapses. Trump reportedly plans to continue lawlessly moving money around to cover military paychecks if the government doesn’t reopen by the end of the month, according to Politico. This is all unlawful. The White House is supposed to seek approval from Congress and follow a process called “reprogramming” in order to legally shift funds that have been appropriated by Congress around within an account. That has, of course, not happened, per Politico: Trump administration officials have not provided top congressional appropriators with details about how much cash the White House believes is available for use, nor have they submitted requests to Capitol Hill to reprogram any money. “Look, I want the troops to be paid,” Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) told Politico. “But, as usual, they find the most illegal way to do everything.” Schatz’s Republican colleagues on the Senate Appropriations Committee are also expressing legal concerns about how the White House is shuffling money around during the shutdown. “While it’s a desired outcome, there’s a process that’s required — by Constitution and by law — for Congress to be not only consulted but engaged,” Jerry Moran (R-KS), the committe’e’s senior member, said. Both Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) have made similar remarks. While it is significant that a few Republicans are at least vocalizing that something about how the Trump administration is handling the shutdown is maybe probably perhaps not legal, it’s unlikely to change anything. This is, after all, the same Republican conference that rubber-stamped, without question, cuts from Elon Musk’s lawless DOGE rampage through the federal government earlier this year. — Nicole LaFond Happy 25th TPM TPM’s 25th anniversary is coming up and there are still tickets available to join us for the festivities!

Hope to see you there! — Nicole LaFond Vulnerable House GOPers Press Johnson to Focus on Expiring Obamacare Subsidies Thirteen vulnerable House Republicans called on House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Tuesday to “immediately turn our focus to the growing crisis of healthcare affordability and the looming expiration of the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits” once the shutdown ends. In a letter addressed to Johnson the group of Republicans warned him that “millions of Americans are facing drastic premium increases“ as a result of the Obamacare subsidies expiring at the end of the year. While the letter blamed Democrats for the situation at hand and condemned them for leveraging government funding talks to extend the credit, they urged Johnson to help the party “chart a conservative path” forward on the credits. “Allowing these tax credits to lapse without a clear path forward would risk real harm to those we represent. Nevertheless, we must chart a conservative path that protects working families in our districts across the country who rely on these credits,” the letter said. Congressional Democrats, of course, have been asking Republicans to work with them on extending the subsidies for weeks now, while GOP leaders have refused. — Emine Yücel Shutdown Exposes Risks of Relying on Private Economic Data Trump-appointed Fed governor Christopher Waller disclosed in an August speech that ADP provides the Fed with weekly payroll numbers that cover “about 20% of the nation’s private workforce” and suggested the report is different from, though “comparable to,” the report ADP publishes widely. The disclosure of the exclusive relationship apparently upset decisionmakers at the private economic data company and led them to halt their relationship with the central bank, according to reporting from The American Prospect. Fed Chair Jerome Powell then reportedly wrote a letter to ADP, asking the company to resume sharing the payroll figures. Per The American Prospect: [T]he letter from Powell, which has not been publicly reported, suggests that ADP was unhappy about the disclosure of the collaboration, perhaps because its other clients didn’t know about it, and put it on hold. Powell, according to those who have seen the letter, asked for ADP to resume the collaboration. There was a “whiff of desperation” in the letter, one source explained, with Powell indicating that the data was sorely needed. The central bank uses the information to help ascertain the state of the economy and establish policy about inflation and employment, an especially important function at the moment, given the public data blackout caused by the government shutdown and Trump’s other efforts to exert influence over government statistics. The Fed is set to announce its decision about further lowering interest rates at a meeting next week. ADP’s ability and apparent willingness to discontinue a data-sharing relationship with the Fed highlights the risks of relying on private companies and data as replacements for public statistics agencies, which have long been underfunded and have come under attack by the president. — Layla A.

The number of visitors to Mexico’s archaeological sites and museums has risen above pre-pandemic levels, Tourism Minister Josefina Rodríguez Zamora reported Sunday. Attendance at Mexico’s archaeological sites and museums rose to 14.6 million between January and August 2025, reflecting a greater interest in or awareness of the country’s cultural heritage. Mexico’s museums attracted 7.7 million visitors in this period, marking a 17.6% rise over the same period in 2024 and a 3.9% increase compared to 2019, the last year before the COVID-19 pandemic began. This figure consisted of 89% domestic and 11% foreign visitors. Meanwhile, 6.9 million people visited Mexico’s archaeological sites between January and August, with 64% national and 36% foreign visitors. This marks a 4% increase compared to the same period in 2024. The most visited sites were the Maya ruins of Chichén Itzá in the Yucatán Peninsula, with 1.5 million visitors; the Teotihuacán pyramids in México state, with 1.2 million; and the Tulum ruins on Mexico’s Caribbean coast, with 790,000 visitors. Together, visitors to these sites represented 51% of the national total. “The increase in visits to museums and archaeological sites reflects the interest of national and international tourists in learning about and appreciating our cultural heritage,” Rodríguez Zamora said in Sunday’s press release, “which in turn drives local economic development and contributes to the generation of shared prosperity.” According to information from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), Mexico’s most-visited museums so far this year have been the National Museum of Anthropology, the National Museum of History and the Templo Mayor Museum, all of which are in Mexico City. “Mexico’s historical and cultural wealth is one of our greatest tourist attractions,” said Rodríguez Zamora. “Each museum and archaeological site tells a part of our history and allows us to showcase Mexico’s greatness to the world, thus strengthening the arrival of more visitors and the development of cultural tourism in the country.” With reports from La Jornada Maya
"Good Will Hunting" is a sentimental film. This isn't a bad thing, and in fact, the sentiments it expresses still resonate more than 30 years later. Written by best friends Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, the film follows Will Hunting (Damon), a math genius working as a janitor for Harvard University. Forced to get treatment with a therapist after a violent outburst, Will's relationship with Sean Maguire (Robin Williams) changes the course of his life. An earnest, emotional, ultimately feel-good story, "Good Will Hunting" achieves these qualities without becoming saccharine or clichéd. One of the most beloved films about mentorship and one of the greatest about therapy, "Good Will Hunting" doesn't reinvent the wheel, but represents the gold standard for what films like this can be. At the same time, the film isn't peerless, and if you look hard enough, you can find examples of movies that deliver a similar sentiment or hit familiar narrative points. From stories about therapy and mental health, to tortured geniuses, to unexpected mentee/mentor relationships, you're bound to find something here that will move you. Here are 15 movies you should watch if "Good Will Hunting" is your jam.

Jude McAtamney has been released by the New York Giants after he missed two kicks in Sunday's 33-32 defeat by the Denver Broncos. The 25-year-old former Derry Under-20 gaelic footballer played in four NFL matches for the Giants after an injury to regular kicker Graham Gano. After being elevated from the practice squad, McAtamney produced a perfect kicking performance as the Giants beat the previously unbeaten Los Angeles Chargers 21-18 at MetLife Stadium, and he followed that up by being part of the team which lost to the New Orleans Saints the next week. He was unable to be elevated from the practice squad for a third time so had to be signed to the full 53-man roster in order to play against defending Super Bowl champions the Philadelphia Eagles on 10 October. McAtamney celebrated that call-up by making four kicks from five attempts as the Giants ran out 34-17 winners over the Eagles. But he missed two points in the one-point loss to the Broncos on Sunday as the Giants conceded 33 points in the fourth quarter. His future has not been confirmed, but he is eligible to return to the Giants' practice roster through exemption as he is part of the NFL's international player pathway programme. McAtamney helped Derry win an Ulster title in 2020 before moving to the United States to play with Rutgers University. He joined the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent in April 2024 and became the first Irish-born placekicker to feature in a regular NFL game since 1985 when he stepped in for the injured Gano against the Washington Commanders in November.
The Boston Bruins are reportedly among several teams expressing interest in Buffalo Sabres forward Alex Tuch, according to RG’s James Murphy. Sources told Murphy that the Sabres are starting to listen (although their preference is still to re-sign him) to offers for Tuch, with the Bruins and Edmonton Oilers among the clubs inquiring, along with a few others. Murphy writes that two NHL sources told him the Sabres are taking calls, and one source mentioned the Bruins as a team that kicked tires. “Buffalo is listening on Alex Tuch,” Murphy’s source said. “From what I know, the Bruins and Oilers have inquired, along with a couple of other teams.” If this source is accurate, no one should be surprised. Boston has a clear need for a top-six winger, particularly on the right side of their second line. They currently have Viktor Arvidsson slotted in the second-line role. Acquiring Tuch would be a massive addition, and he might be more than just a rental to the Bruins. Reportedly seeking as much as $10-$11 million on a new deal, the Bruins might be open to spending that kind of money. Ahead of the 2024 trade deadline, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman mentioned that the Bruins, along with the New York Rangers, were among the teams that showed interest in Tuch. Obviously, nothing materialized. Still, their interest then and continued interest makes sense considering the 6-foot-4 forward recorded 36 goals and 31 assists for 67 points in 82 games during the 2024-25 season. He’s got four points in six games for the Sabres this season.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) and Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva (D) sued on Tuesday to force House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to finally swear her in formally. Grijalva was elected to replace her late father, Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D), on September 23, and still hasn’t been sworn in nearly a month later. While running, she vowed to be the last member needed to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. The lawsuit tracks Speaker Johnson’s “inconsistent” reasoning for refusing to seat Grijalva. After initially saying he would swear her in “as soon as she wants,” he quickly pivoted to saying he wouldn’t do it until the House is back in session, linking it to the government shutdown. The suit also takes a jab at one of Johnson’s short-lived excuses for delaying the ceremony; he pointed to the delay in then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) swearing in of Rep. Julia Letlow (R-VA), which happened about a month after her election. The suit points out that Pelosi had contacted Letlow to ascertain her preferred date. “But, on information and belief, then-Speaker Pelosi communicated with Dr. Letlow immediately after the election, and the swearing in was scheduled at a time convenient for all parties,” said a footnote. “Ms. Grijalva would be delighted if Speaker Johnson would contact her to commit to a mutually agreeable time, as Speaker Pelosi did for Dr. Letlow.” Mayes and Grijalva request a declaratory judgment from the court saying that if Johnson won’t administer the oath, it can be administered “by any person authorized by law to administer oaths under the law of the United States, the District of Columbia, or the State of Arizona.” For the past few weeks, Grijalva was not sworn in during several pro forma sessions in the House, despite an intense push from Democrats. House Democrats tried to raise the issue multiple times on the House floor, but Republicans refused to recognize them. Johnson swore in two Republicans during a pro forma session earlier this year. Earlier this month, Sens. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ) confronted Johnson in front of his office about the delay. Gallego accused Johnson of wanting to “cover up for pedophiles on the Epstein list” during the heated exchange. Johnson pushed back, saying it “has nothing to do” with Epstein. “This is an excuse so she doesn’t sign on to that,” Gallego said. “This is absurd,” Johnson responded, adding: “This is a publicity stunt.” Read the lawsuit here.

Първият в света мултиадаптивен предпазен колан, който ще бъде представен през януари 2026 г. в новото изцяло електрическо Volvo EX60, беше обявен за едно от най-добрите изобретения на 2025 г. от известното списание "Тайм". Това е втората поредна година, в която автомобилният производител е включен в престижния списък на "Тайм" с 300-те най-изключителни иновации. С мултиадаптивния предпазен колан, опъването на колана се регулира индивидуално, използвайки данни в реално време от различни сензори на колата, както вътре, така и отвън. Това отчита характеристики като височина, тегло, форма на тялото и позиция на седене, както и текущата пътна обстановка. Например, за по-едри пътници и при сериозен инцидент, опъването на колана се увеличава, за да се намали рискът от нараняване на главата. За по-дребни хора или при по-леки инциденти, опъването на колана се намалява, за да се сведе до минимум рискът от фрактури на ребрата.
