Target is being held hostage by an anti-LGBTQ campaign

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:24 GMT

New York (CNN) — During every Pride Month in June for the past decade, Target has sold merchandise for LGBTQ customers, employees and allies. But this year, Target faced an anti-LGBTQ campaign that went viral on social media.Fueled by far-right personalities and on social media platforms, the anti-trans campaign spread misleading information about the company’s Pride Month products and its business practices.Hurting brands’ sales and reputations was the stated goal of the campaign: “The goal is to make ‘pride’ toxic for brands,” said right-wing commentator Matt Walsh on Twitter. “If they decide to shove this garbage in our face, they should know that they’ll pay a price. It won’t be worth whatever they think they’ll gain.”The campaign became hostile, with threats levied against Target employees and instances of damaged products and displays in stores.That effectively held Target hostage: The company was forced to make an impossible choice to either safeguard its employees and stores...

Gabby Petito’s parents get ‘burn after reading’ letter from Brian Laundrie’s parents in civil lawsuit

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:24 GMT

(CNN) — Gabby Petito’s parents now have a copy of a letter Brian Laundrie’s mother wrote to her son, which included references to getting a shovel and burying a body.Attorneys for both sides argued in a Sarasota County, Florida, courtroom Wednesday over whether the letter is relevant to the lawsuit brought by Gabby Petito’s parents against Laundrie’s parents and the Laundries’ former attorney.The envelope containing the letter – which is undated – said “burn after reading” and was recovered from Brian Laundrie’s backpack when his remains were found in October 2021.“As we all know the letter references burying a body bringing a shovel and burying a body,” Petito family attorney Patrick Reilly said in court Wednesday. “Those are criminal acts, by the way, that Roberta Laundrie has said she would commit.”The Petitos sued the Laundries for emotional distress in connection with Gabby Petito’s death while traveling the Western United States with Brian Laundrie, her fiancé. Laundrie came h...

Britain’s Rishi Sunak just loves reading raunchy horse novels

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:24 GMT

LONDON — Tech bro. Numbers guy. Mega-fan of … horse-racing-themed romance books?U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak confirmed Thursday that he’s an avid reader of Jilly Cooper, the English author whose raunchy tales of romance and infidelity among horse riders and show jumpers have been best-sellers.In a mostly gentle grilling on the U.K. daytime TV favorite “This Morning”, Sunak was asked if he was “really into” Cooper’s books, as hinted at by an article in the Spectator magazine earlier in May.“Yes that is true,” a blushing Sunak said. “It is unclear how that has emerged.” Reeling off a list of Cooper’s titles, Sunak appeared unable to narrow it down to just one all-time fave: “Riders, Rivals, Polo, The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous, Appassionata — she’s done a lot of different books, but that is the set of books that I like,” he said.The front cover of “Riders”, an international best...

Frederick County teen Samantha Heyison, daughter of former Orioles draft pick, at top of world para athlete rankings

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:24 GMT

Routine matters to Samantha Heyison.On the days when she is set to participate in track and field meets, the senior at Urbana High drinks a red Gatorade in the morning and then a C4 energy drink in the afternoon. She has reined in her habit of eating a chocolate bar but always listens to Survivor’s 1982 hit “Eye of the Tiger.”“That might be a must before my Gatorade, my Snickers bar, my energy drink,” said Heyison, who lives in Adamstown in Frederick County. “That is the best song to listen to before a track meet.”The rituals are paying off for the 17-year-old Heyison. Despite being born with a clubbed left foot with all five toes partially amputated, a right foot with three toes fused together and a right hand missing two fingers, she will defend the state championship she captured in the discus throw last spring when the Class 4A state meet begins Friday at the Prince George’s Sports and Learning Complex in Hyattsville.Heyison’...

Marcus Stroman delivers his best start of the year in the Chicago Cubs’ 4-2 win vs. his former team: ‘The sinker was sankin’ ‘

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:24 GMT

A fired-up Marcus Stroman repeatedly slapped his mitt while approaching the Chicago Cubs dugout.Dansby Swanson and Nico Hoerner’s smooth exchange on a double-play ball to end the eighth inning Wednesday night capped a stellar performance by Stroman against his former team. The right-hander held the New York Mets to two runs and four hits in the Cubs’ 4-2 victory at Wrigley Field.The Cubs (22-26) have now scored in 48 consecutive games to start the season, a modern-era franchise record. The team opened with a longer run-scoring streak in 1898, when it scored in each of its first 91 games.Wednesday’s start was Stroman’s major-league-high ninth quality start this season and his longest outing since July 21, 2021 — with the Mets.“Younger me may have seen it as a revenge game,” Stroman said. “But now I know how to pitch. I’m really good at what I do, and it’s just a matter of getting to the point mechanically and rolling start a...

Column: Are the Chicago White Sox back in business in baseball’s most forgiving division?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:24 GMT

Major League Baseball expanded its postseason from 10 to 12 teams last year with the addition of a third wild-card entrant in each league, then adopted a 2023 schedule in which every team plays at least one series against all 29 other teams.The early results of the new schedule have confirmed what most everyone knew: The American League East is far and away the best division in baseball, while the AL Central is the worst.The Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays, tied for the worst record in the AL East through Tuesday, were one game ahead of the AL Central-leading Minnesota Twins.But if the playoffs had begun Wednesday, the Twins would’ve gotten in as a division champion while the Red Sox, Blue Jays and Los Angeles Angels would’ve missed out on a wild-card spot in spite of better records. It’s hard not to root for a scenario like that, if only to hear the outcry from New Englanders if the Red Sox somehow miss the postseason despite being a much better team than the...

Get to know Darnell Wright: Q&A with the new Chicago Bears offensive tackle’s college coach

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:24 GMT

Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles wanted a full test of Darnell Wright’s resilience and grit. In the final stages of the team’s draft preparation in April, Poles was strongly considering using his first first-round pick as an NFL GM on an offensive lineman and had Tennessee’s Wright tabbed as the top tackle on the board.But Poles wanted Wright to pass one more test and flew to Knoxville, Tenn., with Bears offensive line coach Chris Morgan in early April to conduct an intense daylong assessment of Wright’s mental and physical stamina.The Bears loved what they saw from Wright that day on the Tennessee campus, and three weeks later they made him the No. 10 pick in the draft, locking him in as a likely starter for his rookie season and beyond.Tennessee offensive line coach Glen Elarbee worked with Wright for two seasons and sees high-end NFL potential for the massive tackle.
