Ask Amy: I found the videos she posted about me, with all the demeaning comments

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:38:20 GMT

Dear Amy: My friend “Cynthia” and I have become much closer recently, as we have both gone through divorces and shared our experiences (I’m a guy).Cynthia recently moved back into the area after living a few states away, and we have been able to go out a few times.I am enjoying finally being on my own after a very mentally and emotionally draining divorce.I have been very open that I will not be sleeping around, and I have stated that I am interested in pursuing a long-term relationship with her, with the idea that we can begin exploring moving in together sometime next year.I have recently come across a TikTok page of Cynthia’s that (basically) is filled with videos airing out every small disagreement we’ve ever had, not to mention presenting me as a guy who “won’t commit” because I want to take my time working toward moving in together.These videos get thousands of views, and some of the comments (mostly very negative ones at my expense) include references ...

The Sardinian team is returning to Serie A a year after being relegated, as is Genoa. The other promoted side, Frosinone, is ending a four-year absence.The odds are highly stacked against all three teams still being in Serie A at the start of the 2024-25 season.Frosinone, Genoa and Cagliari will replace Spezia, Cremonese and Sampdoria — the teams relegated at the end of last season.Cremonese went straight back down to Serie B, a year after finishing runner-up in that division.Indeed, the last time that no promoted teams were relegated from the Italian top flight was in the 2007-08 season when Juventus, Napoli and Genoa survived their first season back in Serie A.FROSINONEFrosinone earned promotion by winning Serie B for the ...

GOP bill would eliminate DC Home Rule, giving Congress operational power

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:38:20 GMT

House Republicans, citing D.C.’s rising crime problem, have resurrected a proposal to have Congress take over District government operations by eliminating D.C. Home Rule.The legislation is sponsored by Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles (R) and would take away District powers that are included in the D.C. Home Rule Act of 1973, which gives D.C. residents the ability to govern their local affairs.The bill does not spell out exactly how Congress would take over the powers that now reside with Mayor Muriel Bowser and the 13 members of the D.C. Council.Ogles said this week that D.C. is “running rampant with crime.”The murder rate is up and the city is dealing with a surge in carjackings, which now number more than 600 this year — close to double the number there had been at the same point in 2022.Bowser has acknowledged the city’s need to get a grip on its crime problem. But she’s told Congress that it should be a matter for D.C. to address — not lawmakers from acr...

Sam Kerr to start for Australia in Women’s World Cup semifinal against England

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:38:20 GMT

SYDNEY (AP) — Star striker Sam Kerr was in Australia’s starting lineup for Wednesday’s semifinal match against England at the Women’s World Cup. Kerr has been limited the entire tournament with a left calf injury. Kerr, the captain of Australia’s team, did not play at all in the group stage. She played a small role in the round of 16 win over Denmark and declared herself fit to start ahead of Australia’s quarterfinal match against France, but was instead on the bench. She went on early in the second half, played all through extra time and made her penalty kick in Australia’s 7-6 shootout win. The victory put the Matildas in the semifinals for the first time in World Cup history and one game away from playing for the title. Kerr’s time on the field against France equaled nearly an entire match. Kerr, the 29-year-old superstar of the Australian team, plays for Chelsea and is beloved in her home nation. In another Australia roster move, defende...

Y mientras la nación hizo una pausa para calmar los nervios tras una larga tanda de penales contra Francia, los ojos ahora están firmemente puestos en despachar a Inglaterra este miércoles.El partido se transmite a las 8 p.m., hora local de la costa este de Australia, pero coincide con un día laboral en la casa de las Leonas, y se transmite incluso antes en la costa este de Estados Unidos, donde los entusiastas fanáticos del fútbol pueden ver el juego a la hora del desayuno.En Australia, más de cuatro millones de personas sintonizaron para ver la victoria de las Matildas por 7-6 so...
