Gender-bending in pro football?

22 hours ago | wng.org | Ray Hacke

In the classic R-rated baseball comedy Bull Durham, an up-and-coming minor league pitcher wears his girlfriend’s garter belt under his uniform when he pitches. The undergarment’s purpose, the much older girlfriend tells him, is to “keep one side of your brain occupied when you’re on the mound, thus keeping the other side slightly off center, which is where it’s supposed to be for artists and pitchers.” When I think of that line, Caleb Williams now comes to mind.
Health officials grapple with ongoing measles jump

6 days ago | wng.org | Emma Elliott Freire

A spate of measles outbreaks across the country represents an early challenge for Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who took office in February. The number of confirmed cases of measles has risen to above 700, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The highly contagious disease has spread to 25 states, and the CDC says it has caused three deaths.

U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema on Thursday ruled the tech giant has illegally built a monopoly in digital advertising technology. The ruling is the second antitrust lawsuit Google has lost in a year. A group of 17 states and the U.S. Department of Justice in 2023 sued the company it was able to charge higher prices for online advertising because of its dominance in the market.
Ukraine-Russia peace talks slow; U.S. may leave, Rubio says

The Trump administration may soon move onto other priorities as attempts to negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine have stalled, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday. While U.S. officials recognize the importance of ending the war, it is not an American war, Rubio said. The administration is not willing to continue negotiating for weeks and months on end, he said.

Creative justice

1 week ago | wng.org | Leigh Jones

Last year, chief justices and senior national judges from more than a dozen African countries attended a conference in Switzerland to learn about ways to expedite the civil cases clogging their courts. The event was part of a decade-long partnership with Pepperdine University, a Christian school in California that has partnered with African judiciaries to promote access to justice. You can read more about that effort in the story, “Missionaries of justice,” by WORLD’s Jenny Rough in this issue.
Teen trouble

1 week ago | wng.org | Emma Elliott Freire

John Berardi clutched his warm pizza box as he walked home on a cold Baltimore evening in November 2024. He barely noticed a group of three teenagers in hoodies, two of whom held brooms. But as he walked by, the group asked him for some of his pizza. He ignored them and kept going, but the teens followed him down the street, demanding the pizza. “OK. Here, take the pizza,” he said, quickly handing it over. Two of the teenagers fell back. “But one of them, it wasn’t enough for him,” Berardi recalled.
Garbage in, garbage out

Has anyone else’s ChatGPT turned especially gushy lately? When I signed up for 4.0, I chose “Ember,” a calm male voice without particular affectations. “Good question,” he’d say when I asked for an easy beef gravy recipe. But recently Ember’s handlers decided he wasn’t chipper enough. Now, when I ask a question, Ember effervesces: “Oooooh!! Great question!!”There’s something creepy about an over-friendly robot. But I use Ember fairly often, despite occasional errors.
Consider the body

1 week ago | wng.org | Janie B. Cheaney

In church on Easter Sunday: The sermon is about life. But more specifically, life in the resurrected body. “And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus” (Luke 24:2-3). The corpse they expected was walking around alive—in a physical body, not a shimmering spirit. My mind spears off on a tangent: Consider that body. When our mortal bodies are not clamoring for attention with a stubbed toe or a hammered thumb, we ignore them.
