Trevor noah lost in translation

Former second lady Jill Biden promised an end to her husband Joe Biden’s alleged inappropriate behavior Wednesday during an appearance on The Daily Show. She also praised the “courage” of the women who made complaints against the former vice president. “It took a lot of courage for women to step forward and say, you know, ‘You’re in my space. Joe heard that. And it just won’t happen again,” she told The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah. “He heard what they were saying.”Former Democratic Nevada Assemblywoman Lucy Flores was the first of several women to accuse Biden of inappropriate behavior during a 2014 campaign event, although the former Bernie Sanders supporter later remarked that politics was the “impetus” for her decision to come forward.

Barely a year into the 2010s, Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York decided, for reasons that we may never understand completely, to tweet a photo of his crotch. That split-second act initiated a chain of increasingly far-flung consequences, as many observers have chronicled: Weiner's resignation; his repeated relapses; the tabloids' years-long obsession with him and his wife, Huma Abedin, who happened to work for Hillary Clinton, who happened to be running for president in late 2016 while dogged by a dormant email scandal, which reactivated 11 days before Election Day when the FBI announced its agents had discovered hundreds of thousands of Clinton's emails while searching Weiner's computer for evidence of sexts with an underage girl. That dramatic reminder of Clinton's email woes arguably swung the election to her opponent, all of which raises the question of whether Donald Trump would be president today had Anthony Weiner not chosen nine years earlier to photograph his underwear. Even the … [Read more...] about Six decisions that shaped the decade

CALGARY, Alberta — The sun dips beneath a snow-peaked horizon beyond where the building sits, tucked away on the wooded hillside of a quiet and well-kept neighborhood. Kids carry large gear bags through a parking lot toward the sprawling two-rink facility on this chilled November weeknight as a soft orange glow illuminates a white banner above the entryway, with three words in red capitalized letters: CROWCHILD TWIN ARENA. Welcome to the home of Cale Makar’s hockey education. It’s where the meteoric rise of a 21-year-old Colorado Avalanche sensation began.

2007-03-11 04:00:00 PDT Scottsdale , Ariz. -- It always comes back to his massive head. By all accounts, Bruce Bochy has lived a quality life of nearly 52 years. He and his wife of 29 years have raised two fine boys. His family says he was a good son to his late father, a soldier who devoured baseball, and his mother, who often assumed the Army-wife duties of two parents and now has late-stage Alzheimer's disease. He played nine seasons in The Show, and coached, and won 951 games as a big-league manager, and took a team to the World Series, and won with players who were not supposed to win, and forged a reputation as an honest and likable leader who would no more rip one of his men in the newspapers than rip his own ears off. And yet, in the game of baseball word association, it usually goes like this: Bruce Bochy: oversized head. giants_0302_df.jpg Bruce Bochy is the new manager for the San Francisco Giants. The Giants prepare for the season with spring training workouts at … [Read more...] about MEET BRUCE BOCHY / NEW HEAD MAN / San Francisco’s 16th manager owns reputation to match his cap size Former Army brat keeps a low profile, and players love it

At the moment when tech mammoths Amazon, Apple and Netflix are reinventing Hollywood, the U.S. premiere at Stanford University of “Hell’s Fury, the Hollywood Songbook” Saturday night might seem a bit rich. Hanns Eisler’s songs, written during Hollywood’s supposed golden age, most with texts by Bertolt Brecht, do an excellent job of encapsulating the vision of a newly capitalized silicon-age Hollywood.Eisler was unlike other notable émigré composers who, having seen their dreams destroyed by the Nazi nightmare, played a crucial role in turning Hollywood into the kind of dream machine it became. Without their atmospheric, embracing, romantic film scores, the early sound movies never would have had the dramatic effect they did, and still do. It was almost as if this is what the likes of Erich Korngold and Franz Waxman and, later, Miklós Rózsa, were always meant to be.Out of step with the great progressive musical march of Stravinsky, … [Read more...] about Review: Hanns Eisler opera at Stanford reopens the book on a blacklisted Hollywood composer
