How the Golden State Warriors' senior dancers became fan favorites

It's 3:30 p.m. on a Monday, and a group of 16 senior dancers are grooving on the court at Chase Center. They throw their arms up and down, give a high kick, bend over low, draw a half circle with their hips, pop up and snap their necks back and forth, their grey and white hair glistening under the giant spotlights usually reserved for Steph Curry and Draymond Green.

Lucid's most important car yet is a thrill to drive - if you can afford it

The Gravity ranks among the five most fun-to-drive cars I've ever tested. Its 123-kWh battery launches the SUV from 0 to 60 mph in about three seconds - quicker than a Ferrari Portofino. Instant torque makes it feel ferocious off the line. Steering is tight and surprisingly nimble for a long three-row SUV. Thanks to its low-mounted battery pack, the Gravity stays planted through sharp corners, masking its weight well.

Can You Tap Your Way to Success? Apparently, You Can

One of the more unexpected tools now circulating in these high-pressure circles is tapping - a technique involving rhythmic stimulation of specific points on the body, paired with focused language, to influence mental and emotional states. Advocates claim it can restore clarity and control in minutes, whilst sceptics are sure to brand the technique as 'woo-woo'. The truth, as ever, sits somewhere between the two.

Why do the mascots have an age to begin with? This was only the start of the incomprehensibility of this segment. From there, Impacciatore flew through Winter Olympics of years past, in what looked like shoddy AI, as if inspired by that one Kim Kardashian cell-phone game ( RIP).
