Liz Cheney urges Colorado College graduates not to compromise with the truth in commencement speech

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:48:44 GMT

Former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney implored new college graduates to not compromise when it comes to the truth, excoriating her House Republican colleagues for not doing enough to combat former President Donald Trump’s lies that the 2020 election was stolen.In a commencement speech at Colorado College, the Wyoming Republican repeated her fierce criticisms of Trump but steered clear of talking about his 2024 reelection campaign or her own political future.Cheney, who graduated from Colorado College in 1988, recalled being a political science student walking into a campus building where a Bible verse was inscribed above the entrance that read, “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”“After the 2020 election and the attack of January 6th, my fellow Republicans wanted me to lie. They wanted me to say the 2020 election was stolen, the attack of January 6th wasn’t a big deal, and Donald Trump wasn’t dangerous,” Cheney said Sunday in Colorado Springs, connecting her experience...

By Emily Weinstein, The New York TimesWeeknight recipes are the dishes you can make at the end of a long day when you don’t have much time or energy, but still want something good to eat. All of this week’s selections work for Memorial Day weekend gatherings, in addition to the days that follow.Stovetop Barbecue ChickenStovetop barbecue chicken, in New York, April 20, 2023. Smoked paprika in the sauce hints at the flavor you would get from the grill. Food Stylist: Simon Andrews. (David Malosh, The New York Times)Nothing compares to live fire, but even if you don’t have a grill, you can make chicken that’s burnished and sticky with barbecue sauce. To achieve a similar smokiness on the stovetop, paint boneless, skinless chicken with some barbecue sauce and sear it so the sugars in the sauce caramelize and char. The sauce here leans tangy and spicy, but adjust it as you like. Once the chicken is cooked, let the sauce bubble until glossy enough to slather onto the chicken.By Ali SlagleY...

The Little Mermaid Finds a New Voice in Remake

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:48:44 GMT

In 1989, Disney’s The Little Mermaid ushered in a new age for animation by taking audiences under the sea to a magical subaquatic world of mermaids, handsome princes, and sinister sea witches set to the glorious tunes of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman.The story of a feisty mermaid driven by her love for a human to make a deal with a sea witch not only revitalized Disney as a studio, but created a new type of princess for young girls to idolize and set the standard for modern animation. It was a game changer. And now several decades later, Disney hopes to cast a similar spell with a live-action version of the animated masterwork. But does it sink or swim?While the latest The Little Mermaid, updated with inclusive casting, follows the story of the animated classic fairly well, it misses enough small nuances so that much of the charm is left by the wayside. Ariel’s fiery nature, Sebastian’s humorous frustration and Chef Louis’ hilarious “Les Poissons” are gone but not forgotten. Directo...

From ‘May Gray’ to ‘June Gloom’: Scientists explain our weird weather in the Bay Area

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:48:44 GMT

RIP Springtime (April 27, 2023 – April 27, 2023).After a historically hard winter and then a momentary hot spell, summer fog is already blanketing the coastal Bay Area, a dreary pattern that is expected to persist through the next week. And beyond.“It’s covering the Bay every morning, and some of it has gotten into the Delta,” said meteorologist Jan Null of Golden Gate Weather Services in Half Moon Bay, which enjoyed only one fog-free sunset all month.“This is a year where that summer pattern is setting up early,” he said.To be sure, Memorial Day weekend is always a melancholy holiday, honoring the tragic loss of young lives alongside picnics and barbeques.

Consumer seafood guide advises people to avoid Chesapeake Bay oysters. But why?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:48:44 GMT

The Chesapeake Bay oyster population has been flourishing over the last few years, but a California based seafood guide disagrees. Seafood Watch, a well-known consumer guide about sustainable seafood, has released its latest draft and is telling people to avoid eating wild caught oysters that come from the Bay.A look at the draft shows the bay as being overfished and poorly managed, adding “current abundance levels in the Chesapeake Bay overall are still low. As a result, Seafood Watch deems eastern oyster abundance in Virginia as a ‘high’ concern.”WTOP has reached out to the organization behind the report for comment.The Monterey Bay Aquarium is behind the guide, but declined a request for comment from the Bay Journal about the rating, saying the draft assessment may change, depending on public comment.The public comment period ended last week.The findings have led to some criticism from the local industry.

Liverpool and Southampton draw 4-4 in wild season finale

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:48:44 GMT

SOUTHAMPTON, England (AP) — Goals from Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota salvaged a 4-4 draw for Liverpool at Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday as the Merseyside club’s season ended in wild circumstances. Jurgen Klopp’s team had blown a two-goal lead at St Mary’s before coming back from 4-2 down to scramble a point. Gakpo and Jota both struck in the space of a minute of each other to ensure a disappointing campaign for Liverpool at least did not end in defeat. Klopp’s side has endured a troubled season that has seen it miss out on qualification for the Champions League for the first time since 2016. But there have been clear signs of improvement in recent weeks, with Liverpool heading into Sunday’s match on the back of a 10-game unbeaten streak. The visitors were 2-0 up after goals from Jota in the 10th minute and Roberto Firmino in the 14th. James Ward-Prowse — who was potentially making his final Southampton appearance — halved the deficit in the 19...
