Earlier this week, a judge in Texas had to declare a mistrial, recuse herself from two cases, and apologize profusely after she accidentally live streamed comments implying that a man accused of murder is guilty.The defendant in the murder case is Jorge Esparza, and the allegations against him are horrifying. According to prosecutors, several years ago, Esparza became obsessed with a former lover who had jilted him — so obsessed, in fact, that he began stalking her. At one point, he even...
Things got spicy at a Republican county campaign event in Perryville, Missouri, last Friday, in an expletive-filled confrontation that was caught on video. State Sen. Denny Hoskins cursed out Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, calling him“chicken shit” numerous times, as well as “a fucking coward.” Hoskins is running for Ashcroft’s office in the GOP primary, and is also a member of the extremist Missouri Freedom Caucus.

The NCAA enforces regulations on celebrations to manage unsportsmanlike conduct. This rule outlines limitations on props, signs, and bat flips
GOP Rep. Mike Lawler (N.Y.) on Monday emphasized the need for "consequences" against those involved in the pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University. "I mean there are consequences to actions.

One of the big things that happened, when the rise of streaming TV kicked off roughly a decade ago, is that everybody got very cagey about numbers, very quickly. Netflix was the first to get the big idea, of course, realizing that, since they’d essentially sidestepped Nielsen ratings entirely (with the polling company only recently able to offer even loose numbers of its own to track who’s watching what), it didn’t do anybody any good to tell the public what they weren’t watching.
