Listen Comment on this story Comment Gift Article ShareWhen Bad Bunny opened the Grammys on Sunday with a mash-up of his songs, fans and other singers stood and danced at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. “Gracias,” Bad Bunny said as he began his acceptance speech. The channel displayed captions for Bad Bunny’s appearances on replays and on the streaming service Paramount+, which Garcia said he appreciated. The Grammys’ lack of Spanish captions followed another captioning failure the prior night. Garcia wrote in his letter to CBS that hiring diverse leaders could improve the accessibility issues.

Before a raucous home crowd, Phillies grab upper hand on Padres in NLCS

As Friday dawned, the Phillies had played exactly two home games in a span of 23 days. At Citizens Bank Park — where the Phillies are now 19-9 all-time in the postseason — it was loud like a tornado. They chanted “Aaron’s better!” at Padres catcher Austin Nola, brother of Aaron, one of the Phillies’ best pitchers. A dissatisfied groan would arise when a Phillies batter hit into a double play or struck out in a critical spot. Given the possibility of a five-games-in-five-days gantlet, the Padres and Phillies both were desperate to get innings out of their starters on Friday.

The religious divide in the midterms isn't really about religion - The Washington Post

Voters’ religious commitments (or lack thereof) are among the most powerful predictors of how they’ll cast their ballots. There are many reasons for this, but one of the most important is the merger of religious conservatism and backlash conservatism. Religious conservatives emphasized abortion, family, old-fashioned values and the rights of the traditional people in an increasingly secular society. Backlash conservatism was harder-edged, more focused on crime, race and immigration. But when our divisions are not really about religion, the chances they will are, alas, very small.

Rishi Sunak in commanding position to be next U.K. prime minister

Listen Comment on this story Comment Gift Article ShareLONDON — Early Sunday, former British finance minister Rishi Sunak announced his bid to replace Liz Truss as the next leader of the Conservative Party and prime minister of Britain. Johnson, who never formally announced his bid, had attempted unsuccessfully to round up sufficient support from Conservative members of parliament. If ultimately victorious, Sunak would become the country’s first prime minister of South Asian descent or of color. AdvertisementAs of Sunday morning, Sunak’s strongest challenger appeared to be Johnson, the former prime minister whose resignation in July kicked off Britain’s current bout of political chaos. And some critics, like former Conservative Party leader Iain Duncan Smith, have noted that the U.K.’s record-high levels of inflation began during Sunak’s time as chancellor.

Monday Night Football picks, odds and predictions for Patriots-Bears

Listen Comment on this story Comment Gift Article ShareBill Belichick last week shared some thoughts about the Chicago Bears, whom his New England Patriots play Monday night in Foxborough, Mass. Montgomery has caught 10 passes on his 11 targets this season, averaging 22.6 receiving yards per game. Matt Bonesteel’s pickBears team total under 15.5 pointsDespite the effusive praise of his Monday night opponent, Belichick must be licking his chops to play such a one-dimensional offense. Take away the Bears’ running game — and I think New England will do this — and what’s left for Chicago’s offense? I don’t think the Bears top their team total here.
