Less than a week after Apple TV+ dropped the final episode of "Ted Lasso," the streamer is getting fans' hopes up. On Tuesday morning, Apple TV+ tweeted a photo of characters Coach Beard, Roy Kent and Nathan played by Brendan Hunt, Brett Goldstein and Nick Mohammed. The photo was captioned "Smells like potential.""I believe in this show coming back," tweeted one fan. "Don't play with my feelings, that's not fair!" another fan wrote. "Are you serious right now? After watching the finale that literally put me in all my feels and then some. I would be so very happy for more because it is that good and deserving of more. If this is true, I am over the moon, and I really hope more happens," another tweeted. Mohammed retweeted the photo with an emoji with its mouth zipped, which seemed to hint that there was a chance. While "Ted Lasso" is over, cast members have hinted to KTLA on separate occasions that the door is still, somewhat, open. “It’s very easy to keep going, but if it’s all she ...

By Brendan Farrington | Associated PressTALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Saying gender identity is real, a federal judge temporarily blocked portions of a new Florida law that bans transgender minors from receiving puberty blockers, ruling Tuesday that the state has no rational basis for denying patients treatment.Judge Robert Hinkle issued a preliminary injunction, saying three transgender children can continue receiving treatment. The lawsuit challenges the law Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed shortly before he announced a run for president.“The elephant in the room should be noted at the outset. Gender identity is real. The record makes this clear,” Hinkle said, adding that even a witness for the state agreed.Transgender medical treatment for minors is increasingly under attack in many states and has been subject to restrictions or outright bans. But it has been available in the United States for more than a decade and is endorsed by major medical associations.Hinkle’s ru...

California ‘bounty hunters’ are earning money for voter signatures. Now, there’s a backlash

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:06:18 GMT

By Nadia Lopez | BloombergIt took less than 90 days for the oil and gas lobby to blow up one of Gavin Newsom’s major achievements.The California governor signed a bill to great fanfare in September to block new oil and gas wells within 3,200 feet of homes, schools and hospitals, cementing an effort that took decades for environmentalists to push through against business and union interests.But that’s when the California Independent Petroleum Association went to work. Representing 300 oil and gas producers, the organization quickly raised $21 million to recruit people to collect signatures — at shopping malls, farmers’ markets and grocery stores — and get enough support to put the issue to voters.The petitioners obtained 687,058 valid names, surpassing the threshold needed to put Senate Bill 1137 to a referendum in 2024 and placing Newsom’s new law on hold. The price tag for the industry: about $20 per signature.Now that effort is sparking backlash, not only from Newsom, a Democrat w...
