Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 02:54:52 GMT

Blue Hills football coach Ed Madden is very passionate when it comes to discussing the vocational bowls.His team will be looking for its second bowl title in three years when it hosts Tri-County Wednesday in the Small School Vocational Bowl. On the same night, Bay Path and Blackstone Valley tangle in the Large School Vocational Bowl at Millbury High School.“When I think about the vocational bowls, it’s like the Army-Navy game.” Madden said. “Most of the guys who play in that game are not going to the NFL, but going to serve the country. The same thing with the vocational kids in that most of them will not be playing in college. While some might go on to play at the next level, most of the kids come here looking to learn a craft, start a family and make money.”Blue Hills and Tri-County is a rematch from Oct. 27 where the host Warriors emerged with a 28-6. Tri-County coach Andy Gomes isn’t putting a lot of stock in that outcome, but admits his team will have to be a lot be...

LIDO, Venice, Italy – Bradley Cooper’s “Maestro’ looks at the legendary gay Jewish conductor-composer’s life as husband and father.Cooper,48, not only stars as the magnetic, talented and driven Leonard opposite Carey Mulligan’s loyal wife Felicia, he produced, directed and co-wrote this epically scaled, decades-spanning biopic.Bernstein’s meteoric rise to fame coincides with his decision to marry the Costa Rica-born Felicia Montealegre.

Editorial: Musk has opportunity, obligation to fight online hate

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 02:54:52 GMT

Does it really matter whether Elon Musk, owner of X (formerly known as Twitter), visited Israel to stem the loss of ad revenue from deep-pocketed companies, or out of a genuine desire to battle antisemitism?He went, he toured the site of the Hamas slaughter of Oct. 7, he watched footage of the assault and no doubt learned things he did not know before. That’s far more than many in Congress and on our college campuses have done after displaying ignorance, apathy and a zeal to spread anti-Jewish propaganda.Hopefully, Musk’s trip will inspire others to do their own reality checks.As has been reported, Musk had agreed on Nov. 15 with a post on X that falsely claimed Jewish people were stoking hatred against white people, saying the user who referenced the “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory was speaking “the actual truth.”After his post, major U.S. companies including Walt Disney, Warner Bros Discovery and Comcast ended their ads on X.  Paris Hilton...
