Editorial: Support for bin Laden letter a wakeup call for U.S.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:49:29 GMT

“Never forget.”It’s the solemn reminder invoked every year on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on America in 2001. The country united in shock, horror, fear and grief that day and in the months to follow as Osama bin Laden’s terror plan played out.The act was an abomination, as is, 22 years later, the viral spread and embrace of the al Qaeda leader’s “Letter to America” on TikTok.As the New York Times reported, Bin Laden’s letter, published a year after 9/11, defended the attacks in New York and Washington and said Americans had become “servants” to Jews, who he said controlled the country’s economy and media.Some TikTok users said last week that they viewed the document as an awakening to America’s role in global affairs and expressed their disappointment in the United States.One video with nearly 100,000 likes showed a TikTok user at her kitchen sink with the caption: “Trying to go back to life as normal after reading Osama bin La...

Peabody K Domenic Scalese makes every kick count

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:49:29 GMT

There’s a bit of a running joke in the family, or at least from grandfather Mike Cella, that Peabody star kicker Domenic Scalese is a café table and a cappuccino away from completing his relaxed persona on the sidelines.His parents, grandparents and 9-year-old sister make up a small army of super fans at just about every game. Football-adoring mother, Stephanie Scalese, can rattle off his milestones as a full-time supporter. They’ve all watched Domenic’s kicks this year as he reached 100 career points, shattered the school’s all-time kicking points record, tied a program-best 48-yard field goal, and helped the Tanners win their first playoff game since 2016.In between, though, they lovingly chuckle over Domenic’s almost nonchalant demeanor.It’s clear how tight-knit the family is, and Peabody’s most successful kicker has given his most loyal fans quite the show. It’s special. But while that’s not lost on Domenic, every single one of those points they cheered for this year were ...

Adam Sandler’s ‘Leo’ a surefire hit for Netflix

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:49:29 GMT

Is “Leo” better than Disney’s blockbuster wannabe “Wish?” Yes, while it doesn’t boast Disney’s lavish production values, Netflix’s memorable and colorful computer-animated musical comedy directed by Robert Marianetti, Robert Smigel and David Wachtenheim, all veterans of “Saturday Night Live,” is a small gem. Boasting Adam Sandler and Bill Burr voicing its two talking reptilian lead characters: a dyspeptic turtle named Squirtle who is a master of mean comedy (yes, Burr) and a Yoda-like tuatara lizard named Leo (Sandler), who finds his purpose in life by advising children and helping them get through life’s challenges.At first, a bitter Leo refers to the children in his class at Central Florida’s Fort Myers Elementary School as “fifth grade head cases” and does not have a lot of patience for them.But when he finds out that a lizard’s life expectancy is 75 years and that he is 74, Leo has a “old-life crisis,” and his heart softens. Squirtle and...
