There are still a few months of weather that’s suitable for backyard hangs left this year — more if you live where a dusting of snow would be front-page news — but retailers have already turned their focus to clearing out their warm-weather inventory. That means that there are some great deals to be had on stuff that you can still use this year. Case in point: this sturdy patio set that’s on sale with a massive discount right now.

The Asofer 8-Piece Patio Furniture Set is on sale for $190 at Walmart, 73% off its normal $700 price tag. This deal is good on the 8-piece configuration in black, but there are also 2-, 3-, and 4-piece options in black and gray on sale with similar discounts, albeit not quite as steep. You should definitely choose the set that fits your needs, because no matter what, you’ll be getting a superb deal on some very well-reviewed furniture. It does cost $60 to ship, but that’s a pittance compared to the hundreds you’ll be saving by snagging this set on sale.

This set comes with two loveseats, four rocking chairs, two small tables (that can be used together as a normally sized coffee table or apart as end tables), and the tools and accessories needed for assembly. All of the furniture has powder-coated steel frames with seating and backrests made of all-weather PE rattan, a synthetic material with a more natural look. The seats also come with removable cushions made of high-elastic foam that are waterproof and breathable. It all adds up to a comfortable, durable set of patio furniture that can provide years of enjoyment.

One shopper wrote that this “sturdy and durable” set also “looks expensive.” They added that it “looks beautiful” and “will stand up to the test of wind and rain.”

Other customers were similarly pleased with their purchases, calling this set “gorgeous outdoor furniture” that’s “very strong and lightweight,” “easy to assemble,” and “very comfortable to sit on.” It’s hard to imagine what else you might want out of a patio set like this, so if you want one that checks all boxes, this “perfect” patio set is a great choice.

• Lacoo 5-Piece Patio Sectional Set, $240 (was $440) at Walmart
• Vcatnet 4-Piece Patio Conversation Set, $582 (was $1,149) at Walmart

The Asofer 8-Piece Patio Furniture Set is a worthwhile investment at full price, but for $190 it’s practically begging to be taken home by anyone whose backyard could use a seating upgrade. Several size-color combinations have already sold out, so we’d recommend pouncing on this huge discount as soon as possible, as there’s no telling how much longer this deal (or Walmart’s stock) might last.

Patrick Clancy, the former husband of Lindsay Clancy, was spotted looking tense during the trial with his new wife, Dr. Rachel Danis.

TMZ published photos showing the two in a “tense” conversation. According to the publication, Clancy and his new wife were “looking stressed’ as they spoke in New York, where they live. Patrick Clancy has been the subject of controversy during his ex-wife’s trial.

Lindsay Clancy is being tried in Massachusetts for the strangulation deaths of their three children. A jury has deadlocked over whether she was criminally responsible for the deaths, but the judge ordered jurors to keep trying on September 1. The defense argues that Lindsay was over-medicated and suffering from postpartum psychosis; the prosecutor argues that the deaths, which Lindsay admits she caused, were premeditated.

According to TMZ, Patrick “was seen taking phone calls and pacing in circles while using his phone” as the pair sat on an apartment rooftop.

Patrick married a fertility doctor, according to The New York Post.

Dr. Rachel Danis is a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist at RMA of New York and an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science at the Icahn School Medicine at Mount Sinai.

According to Fox News, Patrick filed for divorce from Lindsay in February 2024; he moved to New York about four months after the children’s 2023 deaths.

He married Danis in Central Park in 2026, Fox News reported. Kevin Reddington, Lindsay Clancy’s defense attorney, said iPatrick “suffered one of the worst tragedies that anyone could ever suffer,” Fox News reported.

“How that guy is not an emotional basket case is beyond me, and he is trying hard to move on with his life. As the court is aware, they’re divorced, he’s remarried, he has a family,” Reddington said.

“Dr. Rachel Danis is a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist at RMA of New York and an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science at the Icahn School Medicine at Mount Sinai,” her professional bio says.

Patrick Clancy Has Started a Foundation to Change ‘How Parents Are Cared For’

In addition to being remarried and testifying at Lindsay’s trial (he previously wrote that he has forgiven her), Patrick started a new foundation called Heard.

“We’re building a movement to change how parents are cared for—so no parent faces perinatal mental illness in silence and no family is left behind. At Heard, every parent deserves to be listened to, supported, and surrounded by care,” the website says. “Born from profound loss and bound by love, the Heard Foundation was founded in memory of Cora, Dawson, and Callan Clancy.”

The website says that on January 24, 2023, Patrick Clancy’s “world changed forever when his three beloved children—Cora, Dawson, and Callan—were lost amid their mother’s struggle with postpartum psychosis.”

“In the earliest days of unimaginable grief, Pat made a promise: that their lives would always be remembered, and that he would work to ensure no other family endures the same heartbreak. From his grief grew purpose, hope, and a shared resolve to do better,” it adds.

In 2024, the Heard Foundation “was founded by Pat and his sisters, Erin Donahue and Laura Sullivan. What began as a family promise became a community-powered movement—one grounded in empathy, action, and love,” the website continues.

It’s Not True That Patrick Clancy Has a New Baby

Critics online have spread the rumor that Patrick and his wife have a new baby. However, according to Fox News, that is not true. Patrick and Danis “have no children together, though she has spoken publicly about wanting to become a mother,” Fox News reported.

“I remember when I first froze my eggs, I felt like, I mean, even sometimes still, feel like this black sheep,” Danis said on the Fertility Forward podcast in September 2024. “I think for women, it’s just really hard. We have so much pressure to balance career and personal growth, but like, we’re riddled with this fertility stuff.”

After more than three decades away from the road, Triumph isn’t necessarily done making new music.

The Canadian rock band returned to touring earlier this year for the first time in more than 30 years, reuniting original members Rik Emmett and Gil Moore for a run that proved there was still plenty of demand for the band’s classic-rock sound.

Now, Moore says new music is among the possibilities the group is considering.

“As far as actually [doing] new recording [of new music], I guess we’ll have to see if that comes to pass,” Moore told Ultimate Classic Rock.

“But yeah, there’s been some chatter about it.”

That’s not an official announcement of a new Triumph album, but it is a notable development for fans who thought the band’s 2026 reunion would be a one-time celebration.

The first leg of the Rock & Roll Machine Reloaded tour moved more than 135,000 tickets, according to Ultimate Classic Rock, and the response helped prompt Triumph to add 16 more U.S. shows.

The second leg begins Nov. 17 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with April Wine returning as the opening act.

The band also has a documentary about the comeback tour in the works for 2027, along with an authorized bootleg series featuring recordings from Triumph’s archives.

After waiting more than 30 years to see the band back on the road, fans may not have to wait nearly as long for whatever comes next. There could be new music from Triumph in the near future.

In a world where RPGs have playtimes of over 100 hours, it is sort of refreshing to have one clock in at a reasonable length. In an interview at Gamescom, Polygon learned from Will Kennedy, an associate game director, that the main story of the upcoming game Fable will take roughly 20 hours to complete. 

“We have around 15-20 hours of mainline quest gameplay, we have around 15-20 of side and open-world exploration content gameplay, and then, of course, the life systems are limitless, so you can play them for as long as you want.” 

The revelation has sparked a debate on social media about how long RPGs should be. Gaming YouTuber MrMattyPlays chimed in to express his appreciation for shorter RPGs. 

“Normalize RPGs not requiring a life sentence to complete.”

Another user said, “20 hours of good content > 80-100 hours of filler simply to increase playtime” 

However, that wasn’t the consensus; plenty of users pushed back on that length being ideal.

Another user backed up that sentiment. 

“For an open-world RPG to be only 20 hours long isn’t acceptable, but you guys are not ready to have that conversation.”But the originals!”This game isn’t the originals, which were basically linear. It’s selling itself as Fable at a scale we’ve never seen before, and yet somehow, once again, I’ve failed to be impressed.”

I’m of two minds when it comes to this debate; on the one hand, I do love to sink my teeth into a game with a lot of meat. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is my favorite game of all time, and you can easily put 100 hours into it without realizing it. On the other hand, with so many games out there right now, having something a bit more straightforward and easy to cross off the backlog list is appealing. Is it so appealing that I’m rushing to pay $70 for it? That remains to be seen. 

I can understand why some players feel that this is unacceptable; everyone is trying to get the most bang for their buck, so paying full price for a 20-hour game might not appeal to them. I can also understand people looking at 100-plus-hour games and being put off, since in many instances these runtimes are inflated by repetitive missions that feel more like padding than something substantial and worth a player’s time. 

Where do you fall on this debate? Are you someone who values a game respecting your time, or do you think that more content is what makes a game worth its price tag?

Karl-Anthony Towns of the New York Knicks isn’t just an NBA star but also an avid sports card collector. And his latest addition to the collection might be his most impressive yet.

On Aug. 28, a one-of-one Aaron Judge dual Gold Logoman patch autograph card sold through Fanatics Collect for an astonishing $900K. The identity of the buyer remained a mystery until Monday, when Towns revealed on social media that he was the one who bought it.

His message was fittingly simple: “ALL RISE.”

For those unfamiliar with the card, it features two Gold Logoman patches. MLB players typically wear the league’s traditional red, white, and blue logo on the back neckline of their jerseys, but players who won major awards the previous season get a special gold version for the following year.

For Judge, who won back-to-back American League MVP awards in 2024 and 2025, the one-of-a-kind card features a patch from each MVP season along with his autograph, creating the type of card collectors salivate over.

The Judge card joins an already impressive collection for Towns. He also owns a one-of-one Max Verstappen autograph card and an Anthony Edwards one-of-one “Aura” card that he purchased from Topps.

Towns has appropriately dubbed his collection the “Big Bodega Vault,” playing off the “Bodega KAT” nickname he received after being acquired by the Knicks. Still, at $900K, his latest addition has to rank among the most expensive cards in his collection.

However, the $900K purchase isn’t the most expensive Judge card ever sold, with a few others fetching even higher prices. The record belongs to Judge’s 2013 Bowman Chrome Draft Pick Autograph Superfractor one-of-one, which sold for an insane $5.2 million this past March.

For Towns, though, the card carries some extra meaning beyond its massive price tag. He grew up in Piscataway, New Jersey, as a die-hard Yankees fan, making the chance to own one of the rarest Judge cards even more special.

For a collector and lifelong Yankees fan, it’s hard to imagine a much better addition to the vault.
