Washington Post Completely Botches Chaturbate Rules in Virginia Candidate Takedown

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:01:23 GMT

The Washington Post had a salacious tip on its hands, graciously gifted to the newspaper by an unnamed Republican operative ahead of a crucial Virginia legislative election. The paper also had a problem: The activity the tip exposed was between consenting adults. But it was also rather sensational — sex and voyeurism on the internet — so there had to be a way to get it into print. The map through that thicket was also provided, it appears, by the same operative. The paper framed the story around an allegation that was elegant if a little absurd: Democratic candidate Susanna Gibson, it was alleged, had violated the terms of service of the sex site Chaturbate by soliciting monetary tips for performing specific acts with her husband. According to a snippet of the terms of service quoted by the Post, Chaturbate’s policy states that “requesting or demanding specific acts for tips may result in a ban from the Platform for all parties involved.”So it was that six of the resulting arti...

PBS’ free original programming lane may close soon, with Ken Burns and Elon Musk projects coming

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:01:23 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — PBS was looking forward to a relatively free lane to offer fresh television to viewers downtrodden by the Hollywood strikes this fall, but that advantage may only last a couple of months now.A tentative deal reached late Sunday in the crippling TV writers strike, with hopes that actors would soon follow suit, has given rise to hopes that new episodes of favorite scripted shows might return sometime this winter.With commercial networks largely bereft of fresh material beyond reality shows, sports and games, PBS has a fall schedule of new programming, including a heavy dose of nonfiction, led by Ken Burns’ look at “The American Buffalo.”“I have to believe that people are looking for new stuff,” said Paula Kerger, CEO of the Public Broadcasting Service.PBS’ plans were virtually unaffected by the strike. One exception is a delay making “American Historia,” a three-part documentary series helmed by actor John Leguizamo about Latino figures in history, Kerger s...

Chiefs offense gets going, galvanized by perception that officials are picking on their right tackle

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:01:23 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Sometimes the smallest things can galvanize an NFL team: an injury to a key player, some bulletin-board material supplied by an opponent, a coach getting on certain players or any perceived slight that might be overheard in the media.In the case of the Kansas City Chiefs, it appears to be the perception that officials are picking on their right tackle.After their season-opening loss to Detroit, video of Jawaan Taylor circulated on social media that showed him consistently lined up an extra step in the backfield, and getting what appeared to be a small jump on the snap. While both may seem minor, that can be the difference in an offensive tackle executing a block or giving up a sack.The video no doubt circulated among officials, too. They flagged Taylor five times — two false starts, two holding penalties and an illegal formation — in Week 2 at Jacksonville. Afterward, Chiefs coach Andy Reid gave the officials the benefit of the doubt, and he said that Taylor ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:01:23 GMT

(CNN Español) –– En España, la Presidencia del Gobierno se renueva cada vez que tienen lugar elecciones generales. Si bien la Constitución española contempla que esto ocurra cada cuatro años, el presidente del Gobierno en ejercicio tiene la prerrogativa de poder disolver las Cortes Generales antes y convocar a nuevos comicios, tal y como hizo Pedro Sánchez el pasado 29 de mayo.El proceso para escoger a un nuevo presidente o presidenta del Gobierno se inicia una vez se ha configurado el nuevo Parlamento. Concretamente, lo empieza el rey con una ronda de consultas junto a los representantes designados por los grupos políticos con representación parlamentaria. Tras estos encuentros, notifica al presidente del Congreso cuál es su candidato propuesto para ocupar la Presidencia del Gobierno.Desde allí, tal y como establece el reglamento del Congreso de los Diputados, el presidente de la cámara fija las fechas para convocar a la sesión plenaria que debatirá la investidura.¿Quién es Alberto...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:01:23 GMT

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is in concussion protocol, putting his status in question for when Las Vegas visits the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.Garoppolo was injured in Sunday night’s 23-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Coach Josh McDaniels said Monday that he didn’t know when the injury occurred, but Garoppolo took several hits in getting sacked four times and his head bounced off the turf on one play in the fourth quarter. Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick was flagged for roughing the quarterback.If Garoppolo can’t play, the Raiders will go with 15-year veteran Brian Hoyer or rookie Aidan O’Connell. McDaniels said the discussions haven’t yet started on which QB to select, saying the decision will be what’s the “best thing for the team.”“We’ll be hard at work having to manage that situation the best we can as it progresses,” McDaniels said.Injuries have been a problem for Garoppolo.
