From feather boas, velvet, leather, lace, pearls and bold prints—think clashing stripes and polka dots—the 27-year-old has never been afraid of pushing the boundaries of fashion. And his latest shoot with magazine Dazed didn’t disappoint, with the former One Direction member gracing their cover in a pair of purple trousers and a peek-a-boo top, while sitting astride a motorcycle.

Mankiw, who was the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President George W. Bush from 2003 to 2005, said he changed his voter registration to independent in a blog post entitled “I am no longer a Republican” on Monday. “I just came back from city hall, where I switched my voter registration from Republican to unenrolled (aka independent),” Mankiw wrote. Mankiw cited two reasons for this decision: That too many Republicans in Congress are willing to “overlook Trump’s misdeeds” to protect their jobs and also so he can vote in the Democratic primary to help choose a center-left candidate as the Democratic nominee for president....

Today you don’t see many American flags in Iraq, except on soldiers’ uniforms. (From the very beginning of the invasion, in fact, U.S. commanders decided the Stars and Stripes might offend local sensibilities.) And last week a mob in the dusty Iraqi town of Fallujah gave us a new and horrifying image to remember this war by, murdering four American civilian security men, burning them, butchering them, dragging them through the streets, then hanging pieces of them from power lines and the girders of a bridge....

Recently a friend confided in us. She voted for Clinton in the 2016 election. Her husband voted for Trump. She was horrified when she heard the Dobbs decision. Her husband felt it was justified. They decided that they could not talk politics at the kitchen table, in bed or, in fact, anywhere at home. They felt embarrassed talking about these issues in front of their friends. The tension was palpable....

Symptoms vary depending on the type of arthritis, but usually include joint pain and stiffness. Joint pain can either occur symmetrically, affecting both sides of the body, or asymmetrically, causing unilateral symptoms, which only affect one side of your body.

Ferry said on a conference call with minority owners that Deng “has a little African in him” and promoted stereotypes about African heritage. There was a debate about whether those words were Ferry’s own, but, at the end of his day, they still came out of his mouth.

The Belgium international has been moved centrally by Antonio Conte at times this season, with the Blues prepared to function without an out-and-out striker. That was the case in their latest outing against Barcelona, with Hazard deployed down the middle, despite Chelsea having Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud on the bench. A versatile performer is prepared to do whatever job is asked of him, but the 27-year-old believes he poses more of a threat when dropped a little deeper and given license to roam across the field....

As is custom — except when a lockout ruins everything — cameras are following around the Winter Classic participants. Returns, for now, aren't particularly great, but it's early enough to write that off. Still, HBO is going to have to figure out how to deal with Detroit; well-oiled organizational machines don't make for great TV, but all of the Red Wings bits were a little off. That said, it looked great and had its moments....

Griezmann was the hero in Lyon on Wednesday, scoring a brace to guide Atletico to a 3-0 win over Marseille in the final. But the France international is linked with a move to Barcelona in the close-season despite being contracted until 2022. Gabi said the 27-year-old’s team-mates had already tried to convince Griezmann to stay and he hopes the trophy helps. “We already told him a couple of things… he can’t leave us,” he told reporters....
