Is a 'Ted Lasso' spinoff in the works? Apple TV+'s tweet gets fans' hopes up

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:20:56 GMT

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 ...

Judge blocks Florida ban on trans minor care

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:20:56 GMT

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 Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:20:56 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...

Is it legal to rescue a pet from a hot car in California?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:20:56 GMT

FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) - With warmer temperatures moving into the Central Valley, it is essential to keep your pets safe from the heat - and a hot car is somewhere they can get especially hot.According to a state law passed in 2016, a person can not leave or confine an animal in "any unattended motor vehicle under conditions that endanger the health or well-being of an animal."California penal code 597.7 says endangering conditions include heat, cold, lack of ventilation, lack of food or water, or “other circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause suffering, disability, or death to the animal.” Can a person take matters into their own hands if they see a pet trapped inside a hot car? The answer is yes.A "Good Samaritan Law" allows you to use any reasonable means necessary to rescue the animal which could mean breaking a window without having to pay for damages or face criminal charges. According to California Assembly Bill 797, also known as the Right to R...

A's stadium plan hits speed bump in Nevada State Legislature

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) -- The budget ended up as the sticking point as lawmakers adjourned Tuesday morning -- past their legal deadline -- without a complete spending plan delivered to Gov. Joe Lombardo.Assembly Bill 521 (AB521), a capital improvements bill, was up for a vote, but Republican Minority Leader Heidi Seevers Gansert announced that changes to the bill were not good enough. She said Republicans would vote the bill down.Gov. Joe Lombardo has 10 days to set the date for a special session to complete the work on the budget -- and whatever else he might include on the to-do list. More trouble for downtown SF as owner of Hilton, Parc 55 cease payments on hotel properties As observers waited to see if the A's baseball stadium or a package of tax breaks to lure movie studios to the Las Vegas valley would come up for a vote, it was money that spelled the end. Those two highly anticipated bills never came out of committee as sine die arrived -- the constitutionally mandated end of the...

Game 3 awaits in the NBA Finals, with Heat loose and Nuggets facing adversity

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:20:56 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — Erik Spoelstra has preached about the value of adversity for months, not shying away from saying that it helped the Miami Heat get to these NBA Finals.And now Denver is dealing with a little taste of it as well.Game 3 of the NBA Finals is Wednesday night in Miami, the series between the eighth-seeded Heat and top-seeded Nuggets knotted at a game apiece. It got that way after Miami rallied to win Game 2 in Denver 111-108 on Sunday night, an outcome that prompted Nuggets coach Michael Malone to openly share frustrations — primarily over a lack of discipline on a lot of possessions.“We had a really good film session this morning,” Malone said Tuesday. “I gave an opportunity for everybody on our team to speak and talk about what they saw on the film. It was a very honest conversation. Guys owned what they needed to own. We have to learn from Game 2 to use it to our advantage.”In other words, Denver needs to do what Miami did coming out of Game 1.The Heat faced significant d...

TURIN, Italy (AP) — Juventus plans to leave the Super League project still being pursued by Real Madrid and Barcelona, though the club denied Tuesday it had been threatened with a European ban by UEFA.The three storied clubs are awaiting a ruling expected within weeks from the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg into their legal challenge against what they claimed is UEFA’s monopoly control of European club competitions.But Juventus responded to reports it already left the Super League by explaining it contacted the two Spanish clubs “to initiate a discussion period” about its exit.The three clubs were holdouts after the other nine Italian, Spanish and English clubs who joined them to launch the breakaway Super League in April 2021 renounced it within weeks of its quick failure.UEFA was a clear winner when the Luxembourg court gave a first, non-binding opinion in the Super League case in December that went against the clubs.It has been a tough season for Juventus’ owners, player...
