A 137-carat diamond thought stolen and feared cut up for 100 years has been unearthed exactly where it was meant to be. The Florentine Diamond has been in the possession of some of the most influential political families in Europe, including its current owners, the Habsburg-Lothringens. They are the descendants of the Austro-Hungarian ruling Habsburg dynasty. The rock, however, has been in a Canadian bank since World War II. To all but a few, its fate was a mystery. Charles I, nephew of the assassinated Franz Ferdinand, swore members of his family to secrecy, insisting the location of the diamond remain secret for 100 years after his death. He died in 1922 and now as a thank you to Canada, the country that took their ancestors in, today’s generation wants to display the diamond there. Speaking to The New York Times, Karl von Habsburg-Lothringen, a grandson of Charles I, said, “The less people know about it, the bigger the security.” When family members have been asked about it in the past, they have declined to comment. “Over the years, I am sure all of us has been asked at one time or another.” “It should be part of a trust here in Canada,” he added.

Household debt in the U.S. has reached an all-time high, with soaring rates of borrowing across various metrics, according to a new report. It comes despite President Donald Trump winning the 2024 election on a platform that promised to improve the economic lives of everyday Americans. Mortgages, student loans, and car loans have all risen, according to new numbers from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. From July to September, household debt rose $197 billion compared to the last quarter nationwide, it said. That takes the overall debt to $18.59 trillion, up $4.4 trillion since before the COVID pandemic began in 2019. The report said, “Missed federal student loan payments that were not previously reported to credit bureaus between 2020 Q2 and 2024 Q4 are now appearing in credit reports. Consequently, student loan delinquency rates remained elevated after a sharp rise in the first half of 2025.” Student loan debt has risen to $1.65 trillion, with 90-day delinquency affecting approximately 10 percent of all loans. “Student loan delinquencies are at a record high, but auto loan and credit card delinquencies aren’t as high as they were in the middle of 2024,” Bankrate senior industry analyst Ted Rossman told ABC News.

Erika Kirk has revealed she has not watched the grisly footage of her husband Charlie being assassinated. The widow of the right-wing activist was interviewed by Jesse Watters for his Fox News show Primetime. Kirk, the co-founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot on Sept. 10 while speaking to students at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Horrific video of his assassination, where he was shot in the neck, has circulated on social media from people filming the event on their phones. “I never saw the video, I never will see it, I never want to see it,” Kirk told Watters. “There are certain things you see in your life that you can never unsee. There are certain things you see in your life that mark your soul forever. I don’t want my husband’s public assassination to be something I ever see. I don’t want my kids to ever see that.” Kirk was a father to a 3-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son. The 36-year-old widow said anyone who “enjoyed” watching the gruesome footage is “quite literally sick.” Wiping away tears, she asked, “We’re human. Life is fragile. And there is so much beauty in this world. Why would you waste any portion of your life looking at something so evil?”

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s boyfriend has revealed whether or not his MAGA partner will be running for president in 2028. Brian Glenn, chief White House correspondent for right-wing network Real America’s Voice, issued the clarification on Wednesday after NOTUS reported that Greene was interested in running for president, citing four sources, including one who “has spoken with her directly about it.” A source told the outlet that Greene held the belief she is “real MAGA and that the others have strayed.” Glenn swiftly put those rumors to rest in an X post: “MTG has NO plans to run for President in 2028. I AM YOUR SOURCE. Thank you for your attention to this matter,” he wrote, mimicking President Donald Trump’s signature sign-off. Greene also penned an X post attacking the reporter. “Congress needs to go back in session because DC reporters are bored and desperate,” Greene wrote. She also attached a text message she sent to the NOTUS reporter that read: “Who is your source? Laura Loomer?”

If you’re looking for a way to level up cuffing season this fall, consider your search over. Womanizer’s new Next Duo is here to heat things up—whether you’re flying solo or spending the season with your S.O.

The dual stimulator features the brand’s next-gen 3D Pleasure Air technology combined with deep G-spot vibrations, all engineered to deliver blended orgasms (that’s clitoral and vaginal stimulation happening at the same time). “Blended orgasms are unique because they activate different nerve pathways simultaneously,” explains Elisabeth Neumann, Sexologist and Head of User Research at Womanizer. “The outer clitoris and the vagina send signals through partly separate pleasure routes to the brain. This parallel activation leads to overlapping but distinct patterns of arousal. Many people describe the resulting sensations as deeper, longer-lasting, and more full-body than those from single-point stimulation.”

Womanizer is calling the Next Duo its most innovative product yet—and testers agree. In trials, 97 percent of participants said they were more likely to reach a blended orgasm with the Next Duo than with any other toy. Even better, 91 percent reported feeling happier, more relaxed, and less stressed afterward.

Considering that some studies show orgasms release endorphins and lower cortisol, think of this as your new go-to for pleasure and stress relief. After all, fall and winter are the perfect time to invest in your sexual wellness routine—and the Next Duo might just become the highlight of cuffing season.

Model Haley Kalil, perhaps more well-known by her social media name Haley Baylee, has opened up about why she filed for divorce from her husband, former NFL offensive lineman Matt Kalil, in 2022. While on Twitch With Marlon, she explained that she and her husband, who she was married to from 2015-2022, had intimacy issues—but not the ones you may think—during their marriage. She said while she didn’t want to get too graphic, the footballer’s penis “was like two Coke cans on top of each other, maybe even a third.” “He’s like .01 percent of the population. We’ve tried, impossible unless you’re going to be in tears type s--t,” she said. “We tried it all: therapist, doctors. Not even lying… Looked up lipo-type s--t… That’s why it’s kinda funny. It’s like my life is a comedy, and it kinda writes itself.” Despite divorcing, she maintained that Kalil is a “really good person” and that everything was amicable, with her even remaining on his phone plan until a few years ago. Matt Kalil has since remarried, tying the knot with model Keilani Asmus in April 2024, with the pair welcoming their first baby in Aug. 2024.

Seven firefighters have been taken to the hospital after being caught in an explosion in New York City. Dramatic footage shows a growing ball of flame swell up from the street in the Longwood neighborhood of the Bronx on the evening of Wednesday, October 5. The New York Fire Department responded to calls at 7 p.m. on Wednesday. Five of the firefighters are understood to have suffered severe burns as they tried to put out the initial blaze. None are thought to have life-threatening injuries. New York City Fire Chief John Esposito said they are all “awake and alert.” He added, “But they have some serious burns, and we’ll be obviously praying for them.” Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire. In the aftermath, a car can be seen stripped back to little more than its bones. Burning trash was also found at the scene. Esposito said, “There was a lot of garbage and debris on the sidewalk that was on fire. There were a couple of cars that were on fire.”

A sequel to the hugely popular animated film KPop Demon Hunters is slated to release on Netflix in 2029, four years after its debut installment. The substantial gap between releases can be put down to long production times for animated films, which often take multiple years to make. KPop Demon Hunters is credited as being the most-watched original Netflix movie of all time, having amassed over 325 million total views within three months of its release on the platform. The animated musical follows a K-pop girl group named HUNTR/X that moonlights as a trio of demon hunters, fighting against evil through the power of their music. Three songs from the film’s original soundtrack—which has garnered over 3 billion total streams—have frequented Billboard’s Hot 100 chart and could be in the running for this year’s Grammy Awards. The film was popular enough that Netflix brought it to theaters in August and October, allowing fans to enjoy a sing-along version. The musical grossed over $18 million at the box office over two days during its inaugural theater run.

A 19-year-old Australian woman faced court for the first time this week after defacing an expensive public artwork by sticking googly eyes on it. Amelia Vanderhorst was charged with one count of damaging property for the prank, which took place in September and saw Vanderhorst stick googly eyes onto Cast in Blue, a controversial sculpture that cost the City of Mount Gambier in South Australia $88,000. The sculpture, dubbed the “Blue Blob” by locals, was installed in July and represents a mythical version of the megafauna that once existed in the region. Authorities could not remove Vanderhorst’s googly eyes without damaging the sculpture and removing some of the paint; they estimate the damage at less than $1,600. At the time of the incident, the mayor of Mount Gambier said the city would be pursuing costs from the person responsible. Appearing in court on Tuesday, Vanderhorst did not enter a plea, instead telling the court she was very sick and high on pain medication. The magistrate advised her to find a lawyer before her next court appearance in December.

There’s no escaping it—it’s an increasingly overstimulating time to be alive. That means it isn’t always easy to come down to zero (or even a 10, for that matter) after a long day of work... or even just watching the news. That struggle inspired Nordic furniture company, Stressless, to mark its first foray into zero-gravity seating. The Stressless Adam recliner is the perfect combination of function and style. The concept is based on NASA’s findings that in a weightless environment, the body naturally floats in a relaxed, neutral position with minimal stress on muscles and joints.

The Russian president has ordered his generals to begin testing nuclear weapons in the wake of rhetoric from President Donald Trump. The autocrat insisted his country resume its program after more than three decades of not detonating a nuclear weapon. It comes as Trump announced he wanted his generals to “start testing our nuclear weapons on an equal basis.” Putin’s televised Security Council meeting with his top brass in Moscow saw him discuss Russia’s own escalation to regain parity with the U.S., NBC reports. The U.S. had been warned that if it “conduct[s] such tests, Russia would also be required to take appropriate retaliatory measures,” he said. He then told his leaders “to do everything possible to gather additional information on this matter, analyze it in the Security Council, and submit coordinated proposals on the possible commencement of preparations for nuclear weapons testing.” Several of Putin’s top officials are reportedly in favor of resumption. “We must respond appropriately to Washington’s actions… to begin preparations for full-scale nuclear testing immediately, ” said Defense Minister Andrei Belousov. On Sunday, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told Fox News, “These are not nuclear explosions.” “I’m saying that we’re going to test nuclear weapons like other countries do, yes,” Trump had said previously. “Russia’s testing, and China’s testing, but they don’t talk about it.”

The White House posted and deleted an altered New York Knicks logo that read “TRUMP IS YOUR PRESIDENT,” after being reportedly contacted by the NBA team. The Tuesday post followed Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s victory over Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s mayoral race. The White House voluntarily took down the post on Wednesday after the team reached out, a source close to the Knicks told Front Office Sports. “The Knicks remain neutral on political matters,” the team said in a statement to the outlet on Wednesday. “We hope all our elected officials, whether current or recently elected, do a great job in office.” The post comes as Trump’s latest attack against the city’s mayor-elect. The president previously threatened to arrest Mamdani if he defied ICE raids in the city, and also claimed he’d look into potentially deporting the Uganda-born immigrant. In late October, the Knicks sent Mamdani a cease and desist letter for his own edited version of the team’s logo, which read, “NEW YORK ZOHRAN.” Mamdani took down the post after the Knicks reached out to his campaign, expressing concerns that the ad appeared as if the team was endorsing him, sources close to the Knicks told the outlet.
