Rockies beat Cubs with four homers, 7-3, snap six-series losing streak

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:30:22 GMT

Bud Black’s rationale for the Rockies’ never-seen-before lineup in Wednesday’s series finale against the Cubs was simple: He wanted to get his hottest hitters at the top of the order, even if that meant putting Nolan Jones in the leadoff spot.Jones and the rest of the top half of the lineup delivered with four total homers in Colorado’s 7-3 win over the Cubs at Coors Field that broke a six-series losing streak for the Rockies.The rookie left fielder’s two-run bomb in the fifth inning changed the momentum of the game. Jones, making his second career start at leadoff, mashed Jameson Taillon’s belt-high heater 452 feet to tie it 3-3.Elehuris Montero, Kris Bryant and Ryan McMahon all went deep after that as Colorado tied a season high set twice before with four homers in a game. The Rockies also capitalized on a good outing from southpaw Ty Blach (five innings, three runs while working around traffic) and got a strong performance from the bullpen.Gavi...

Colorado GOP seeks involvement in ballot access lawsuit against Trump — which will stay in Denver court

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:30:22 GMT

The Colorado Republican Party is hoping to join the fight against a lawsuit that aims to keep former President Donald Trump off the state’s ballot next year.The state GOP has fundraised off the case and is seeking to intervene in the legal proceeding — which was just sent back to Denver District Court this week by a federal judge after Trump’s attempt to move it failed. The case itself grapples with whether Trump, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, is eligible to appear on Colorado’s primary and general election ballots in 2024 under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.The petitioners — six Republican and unaffiliated Colorado voters — cite the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and allege Trump “incited, exacerbated, and otherwise engaged” it. The Civil War-era amendment prohibits people from holding office if they have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the country.The lawsuit, the ...

Promptify.com Is the Future of AI-Driven Content Generation

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:30:22 GMT

When ChatGPT was first released for regular use, it soon became a seismic event of global proportions. Everyone was using ChatGPT for all sorts of things; people were making bold predictions about what it meant for the future, and there was a sense that things would never be as they were before. But as the dust settled and people became less impressed with what these early generative AIs could do, it became apparent that they were just a starting point—the first step in a new direction, at most.With Promptify.com, Chris Gomes Muffat is trying to move generative AI in the next step. The project is available for users to try and want to change how users interact with AI and what a generative AI can create for them.“For instance, you can’t tell GPT to write 200 pages about some topic. It can only give you an answer to a maximum of about 4000 words,” Muffat explains. “So, with Promptify, you won’t have this problem. You will go online and say you want to write a novel of 200 pages.”Muff...

Monsters Explores a Fan’s Dilemma: Good Art by Bad People

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:30:22 GMT

Via our sister paper The Village Voice: Claire Dederer’s “Monsters” looks at artists you might not want to bring home to mother. I’m talking to my class about the relationship between the white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland and a carving in a 12th-century church in Beverly, England, when a student stands up and starts yelling, “Lewis Carroll was a child molester!” There goes my college lecture about animal iconography, and now we’re talking about rape. I would have put this mess in context by speaking about verifying sources, photography of children in Victorian England, Carroll’s letters (which I’ve read), or asking whether any actual molestation ever happened. But I can’t, because she won’t stop yelling.Badness and confusion: That’s why Monsters, A Fan’s Dilemma, Claire Dederer’s recent book about good art made by bad people, is so hot. The book is as good as it can be, considering its rash gestures and unsuccessful efforts to understand itself — problems that actual monsters seem...

SF Giants mount comeback, walk off Guardians to finish crucial home stand on positive note

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:30:22 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — J.D. Davis stood, frozen, his bat exactly where his backswing left it. He watched hopefully, more so than he admired. He bounced, bat still in hand, up the first base line, as if to will the ball further by somehow transferring his kinetic energy.The bat dropped. The ball cleared the wall. The game was tied.The Giants, put in a 5-1 hole by their left-handed phenom making his fifth major-league start, climbed all the way back Wednesday afternoon to walk off the Guardians, 6-5, in 10 innings. They took two of three from Cleveland, winning three straight series for the first time since July, and finished their all-important home stand with wins in five of their six games.Davis tied it with his three-run shot in the bottom of the eighth, and Patrick Bailey raced home on a walk-off sac fly from LaMonte Wade Jr. in the bottom of the 10th. Cleveland challenged, and the call was confirmed upon review.Called on to record the final out of the top of the ninth, Camilo Doval ear...

Antioch City Council will not assume control over hiring, firing police chief

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:30:22 GMT

A proposal that would give Antioch City Council the authority to hire, fire and supervise the police chief failed to advance this week after one council member revised her stance on the issue.The council had approved a first reading on the structural changes on a 3-2 vote Aug. 22, with Councilmembers Lori Ogorchock and Mike Barbanica dissenting. But on its final reading Tuesday, Mayor Pro Tem Tamisha Torres-Walker, one of those who had originally proposed the idea, asked that the council add a condition that would end its authority after a year or as soon as a new permanent city manager was named.The councilwoman said she had second thoughts knowing “absolute power corrupts absolutely” and pulled the item from the consent calendar.“A lot of times when people who haven’t had power get a little, they misuse it – and that can happen in politics,” Torres-Walker said. “That can happen among the city council… And so I offered the compromise because most of us work full time. We also...
