Emotionally unstable," he said after Sunday's vote announcement. "Thoughts are so far clouded." Kent received 14 of 16 votes from the contemporary era committee, two more than the 12 ballots needed for the 75% minimum.

Similar to my retirement speech, my farewell…...

17+ min ago (157+ words) There's no doubt the Rangers got the short end of a questionably called matchup with the Golden Knights on Sunday night. It is always a shame when officiating seemingly sways a game in one direction or another. Access the Rangers beat like never before There's no doubt the Rangers got the short end of a questionably called matchup with the Golden Knights on Sunday night at Madison Square Garden, but this 3-2 overtime loss had been brewing since before any of the controversial calls were even made " or not made. Rangers head coach Mike Sullivan said he wasn't given an explanation for referee Chris Lee's matching roughing penalties on Will Borgen and ex-Ranger Brett Howden at the 18:02 mark of the third period. There appeared to be a minor every-shift tiff in front of the home bench, but the veteran bench boss…...

19+ min ago (629+ words) Matthew Lesh is Country Manager at Freshwater Strategy and author of a new report, available on Onward Corner, about copyright and AI In 1841, Thomas Babington Macaulay (later, Lord Macaulay) described copyright in a House of Commons debate as a monopoly. "It is good that authors should be remunerated," he said. "Yet monopoly is an evil" the evil ought not to last a day longer than is necessary." But copyright was never meant to be absolute; instead, as the statute's name made clear, it was An Act for the Encouragement of Learning. Copyright's purpose is to stimulate knowledge, not to lock it away. That's why there have always been limitations. Copyright restricts the reproduction of a work, not the broader exchange of ideas, styles, or influences that allow creativity to flourish. You have always been allowed to take others' ideas and…...

22+ min ago (271+ words) Thailand launched airstrikes on Cambodia after a deadly border attack killed a Thai soldier, escalating tensions months after a Trump-brokered peace deal. Thailand carried out airstrikes along its disputed border with Cambodia late Monday as both governments blamed each other for triggering the latest round of violence, raising new doubts about the stability of a Trump-brokered ceasefire. Cambodia rejected that account. Defense Ministry spokesperson Maly Socheata told AP that Thai forces attacked first and said Cambodia did not retaliate during the initial confrontation.

29+ min ago (437+ words) Laura Trott is the shadow Education Secretary and MP for Sevenoaks." At the budget, Labour confirmed what many of us had suspected for some time " the British public were sold a lie. Throughout the last election campaign, Labour repeated endlessly the pledge that they wouldn't raise taxes on working people.

But just last week, she came back for more by raising taxes across the board.

33+ min ago (418+ words) ORLANDO " Before he headed across town, Devin Williams never got a formal offer from the Yankees " and never circled back to ask for one, either, according to Brian Cashman. Following a rocky first and only season in pinstripes, Williams landed a three-year, $51 million deal from the Mets last week. Cashman said Sunday that he had at least one conversation with the reliever's agent this offseason and told him to keep the Yankees abreast of Williams' market. "But he never called me back " I'm not saying he needed to," Cashman said at the Winter Meetings. Cashman had acquired Williams from the Brewers last December, hoping the high-end closer would elevate the Yankees bullpen. But Williams, who admittedly took some time to get comfortable in New York, got off to a tough start and lost the closer's job twice before finishing the…...

36+ min ago (330+ words) Yet since the 19th century, we've bred, fattened, and harvested these sensitive creatures on an unprecedented scale. Now, a new startup named Mission Barns is looking for a way to change that: the company peddles in bioreactor-grown meat, which it says is a sustainable alternative to the horrific industrial meat industry. The process works like this: Workers first take a small sample of fatty tissue from a live animal " in Mission Barns' case, a Yorkshire pig living in upstate New York named Dawn. Lab workers then add plant-based sugars, proteins, and vitamins to the fat culture and fatten the sample in a cultivator, mimicking the growth a pig's body would undergo naturally. After a two-week incubation period, the meat is then "combined" with plant protein to create a product that's technically real meat, but without all the cruelty that defines factory…...
