Amanda Bynes’ fans take heart that she asked for help

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:55:04 GMT

People on social media are taking issue with the “disrespectful” reporting on Amanda Bynes’ latest mental health crisis, noting that she was “self-aware” enough to flag down a passing car in downtown Los Angeles, tell the motorist she was having a psychotic episode and call 911 herself.What fans see as an objectionable spin on Bynes’ crisis apparently began with TMZ, which reported that the former Nickelodeon star — who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder — “was placed” on a psychiatric hold after she was found early Sunday morning roaming near downtown Los Angeles “naked and alone.”Musician and actor Erika Heidewald objected to the wording — “found naked and alone” and “placed” on psychiatric hold — saying such language “removed her agency.”“She was able to recognize that she was in psychosis, ask someone for help, and call 911 herself,” Heidewald...

Pac-12 WBB recap: Stanford falters in NCAAs while UCLA, Utah and Colorado advance to Sweet 16

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:55:04 GMT

Can the Pac-12 season be fully deemed a success when Stanford …— Did not win the regular season outright.— Did not win the Pac-12 Tournament.— Did not reach the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 for the first time since 2007.The honest answer? No.Not given Stanford’s pedigree, its recent success (the 2021 national title and consecutive Final Four appearances) and its expectations with returning All-Americas Haley Jones and Cameron Brink.But expecting Stanford to always carry the bulk of the Pac-12 weight nationally isn’t fair. Nor is it what the conference expects given that it has produced nine Final Four appearances by six different schools since 2013.So Stanford becoming the first school to lose twice as a No. 1 seed in the first and second rounds – it also happened to the Cardinal in 1998 – can’t be the sole definer of a conference that claimed all season to be the best in the country.What Stanford’s 54-49 home loss to No. 8 seed Mississippi on Sunday did, though, was h...

Get sett for delays: Badgers burrow under Dutch train tracks

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:55:04 GMT

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Badgers burrowing under rail tracks have halted trains in the northern and southern Netherlands, forcing lengthy cancellations on at least two lines.All trains were halted Tuesday afternoon on a busy line between the southern cities of Den Bosch and Boxtel after the animals dug into a dike carrying rails. The national railway company said the line would be out of service for at least a week.The digging means “the rails can subside and then the safety of train traffic can no longer be guaranteed,” ProRail, the company that maintains the Dutch rail network said in a statement.Earlier this month, badgers also burrowed under tracks near the northern village of Molkwerum in Friesland province, knocking a line out of service until next month while workers seek permission to shift the animals.Badgers are protected animals in the Netherlands, so rail operators have to get permission to move them or disturb their habitat before repairs can begin.John Voppen, CEO...
