Most fans would’ve headed for the exits. Not these fans. Not after what they’d seen. Their team had already pulled off the impossible twice. With five minutes left in the fourth quarter of Game 3 at Madison Square Garden, and the Knicks trailing by as many as 30, the crowd stayed locked in.

In February, ICE awarded a 15-year contract to Geo Group Inc. to run the 1,000-bed detention…

More than 40 maltreated Belgian Malinois dogs were found trapped together in a cramped, filthy Queens apartment, sparking an animal cruelty investigation, officials said Saturday. So many dogs were stuffed into the small Rego Park home Thursday morning that some were found cowering in closets and kitchen cupboards, said officials from Animal Care Centers of NYC, who rescued the animals with the ASPCA. “These dogs have reportedly lived in total confinement for their entire lives,” said Tara Mercado, ACC’s director of behavior and shelter operations. “We found full-grown Malinois hidden in cabinets and crammed behind furniture.” The dogs were found…

The only way to make money from gold is to…
It’s already been a tumultuous year for the U.S. semiconductor industry. The semiconductor industry plays a sizable role in the “AI race” that the U.S. seems determined to win, which is why this context is worth paying attention to: from Intel’s appointment of Lip-Bu Tan — who wasted no time getting to work trying to revitalize the legacy company — to CEO, to Joe Biden proposing sweeping new AI chip export rules on his way out of office that may or may not actually stick. Here’s a look at what’s happened since the beginning of the year. May A last-minute…
