George Lucas sitting with his hand extended. Behind him is a screen where it reads "Chaos!". It looks as if his hand is holding the word.

in which a sitting justice on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court seems to imply he’s worried about whether there’ll be a presidential race in 2028 boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

Speculating on Republican motivations, Dougherty said at his Chestnut Hill event that he expects the court to continue playing a major role in election law: “The theory is that we have to deal with a congressional election in 2026, and there’s preparation regarding gerrymandering for the next presidential election—should there be one.”

the rule on quarterbacks under center not being able to go in motion is so obscure and ancient that it literally uses the phrase "t-formation quarterback"

T-Formation Quarterback. It is legal for a T-Formation Quarterback to go in motion, whether he has placed his hands under center, on his knees, or on the body of the center. However, it is a false start if the action is quick and abrupt. If the player fails to come to a complete stop for at least one full second prior to the ball being snapped, it is illegal motion.

bars serve depressants but have a reputation for aggressive activities. coffeehouses serve stimulants but have a reputation for calm and relaxation. what's going on here?

one thing perhaps worth emphasizing is that under federal law an escaped enslaved person was a criminal. an "illegal," you might say.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

Penn State's attention at quarterback now turns to Ethan Grunkemeyer, the redshirt freshman from the Columbus suburbs. he's been limited to a couple cameos during his time with the Nittany Lions. that should change under the lights at Iowa

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?
