Israel-Hamas war adds to Democratic concerns about Biden’s 2024 chances

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:06:19 GMT

Fears are growing paramount among Democrats over President Joe Biden’s standing one year out of the 2024 election.And within the party, there are emerging concerns that his support for Israel in its war against Hamas is weakening him among key parts of his party’s base.Americans’ attitudes are shifting quickly about the conflict, and a lot could change between now and next November. But as Israel batters Gaza in response to the Palestinian militant group Hamas’ Oct. 7 bloody attack, Biden’s Democratic Party is fracturing over the war.A series of New York Times polls released Sunday is likely to supercharge the worries among some Democrats about the political fallout from Biden’s handling of the conflict. Those polls showed Biden trailing former President Donald Trump in five of six battleground states among registered voters.According to the surveys, swing-state voters have serious misgivings about Biden’s management of the economy — typically much more important to voters...

Blunderbuss: Croatia minister apologizes for klutzy kiss on Germany’s Baerbock

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:06:19 GMT

There’s another kiss controversy, but this time it seems more clumsy than creepy. Croatian Foreign Minister Gordan Grlić-Radman’s ham-fisted attempt to greet his German counterpart, Annalena Baerbock, with a kiss sparked a chorus of chastisement in both Croatia and Germany last week. Grlić-Radman apologized on Saturday, after his awkward maneuver had made the rounds on social media.“We ministers always greet each other cordially,” Grlić-Radman was quoted as saying by Croatian daily Večernji List. “If someone saw something bad in that, then apologies to whoever took it that way,” he said, adding that his diplomatic offering “might have turned out awkwardly.”The gawky greeting took place at an EU enlargement conference in Berlin on Thursday that brought together foreign ministers from member states and candidate countries. As the ministers gathered in front of the media for a group picture, Grlić-Radman, 65, first reached out to sha...

Sweet 16: Reversal of fortune in Stoneham

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:06:19 GMT

When Stoneham football coach Bob Almeida walked off Fred Green Memorial Field in Melrose on Sept. 29, he wondered: will we ever win a game?For Almeida and the Spartans, September Sorrow has morphed into November Nirvana.After an 0-4 start, Stoneham had four straight wins to earn a Div. 6 tournament berth. The 15th-seeded Spartans made the most of their second opportunity, hitting the road to knock off No. 2 Abington, 22-14.“I give all the credit to the players and my assistant coaches, they stayed the course,” Almeida said. “We have two terrific captains (Matt Tran and Ty Baker) who have been very instrumental all season long. They are not the most demonstrative types, but they are the type of kids who know when something needs to be said and everyone listens.”Almeida figured his team would suffer some growing pains. The Spartans graduated a large chunk of players from the 2022 team which advanced to the Div, 6 state championship game, so there were plenty of new faces in the lineup...

Cape Cod surfers have close call with 10-foot great white shark: ‘The shark circled behind me very aggressive and agitated’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:06:19 GMT

Two Cape Cod surfers have quite the story to tell after they evaded an “aggressive and agitated” 10-foot great white shark off an Eastham beach over the weekend.The pair of surfers, cousins Ray Trautz and Pete Emond, reported that they had a close call with a shark on Saturday at around noon off Coast Guard Beach.Trautz over the years has spotted about 100 white sharks while surfing, but this experience is definitely at the top of all his shark interactions.“Pete was sitting on his board and I was standing on mine when I looked over my shoulder and a 10′ Great white Shark was on track right at Pete’s legs,” Trautz posted a day after the close call.“The shark even turned on its side as if to take a leg, in that moment I yelled SHAARRRRK as Pete was still unaware,” he added.As Trautz yelled, he stabbed his paddle into the water at the back of the shark, and the apex predator “violently” turned at him — with its tail and...

A muted box office weekend without ‘Dune: Part Two’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:06:19 GMT

This weekend, the box office felt the lack of what was supposed to be on the calendar.Moviegoers weren’t lacking for options: The video game adaptation “Five Nights at Freddy’s” repeated in first place, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” is still going strong, Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla ” expanded nationwide, “Oppenheimer” returned to IMAX screens and several well-received indies opened as well. But this was the weekend that Warner Bros. and Legendary’s “ Dune: Part Two” was supposed to open, before the SAG-AFTRA strike had many studios shuffling release dates in anticipation of a lengthy dispute as opposed to opening films without the help of movie stars. In August, the “Dune” sequel starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya was moved to March 2024, and no major blockbusters moved in to take its Nov. 3 spot.Even with “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” still bringing Swifties to the multiplex, and many other prestige offerings, including Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon&...

Humanoid robots are here, but they’re a little awkward

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:06:19 GMT

Building a robot that’s both human-like and useful is a decades-old engineering dream inspired by popular science fiction.While the latest artificial intelligence craze has sparked another wave of investments in the quest to build a humanoid, most of the current prototypes are clumsy and impractical, looking better in staged performances than in real life. That hasn’t stopped a handful of startups from keeping at it.“The intention is not to start from the beginning and say, ‘Hey, we’re trying to make a robot look like a person,’” said Jonathan Hurst, co-founder and chief robot officer at Agility Robotics. “We’re trying to make robots that can operate in human spaces.”Do we even need humanoids? Hurst makes a point of describing Agility’s warehouse robot Digit as human-centric, not humanoid, a distinction meant to emphasize what it does over what it’s trying to be.What it does, for now, is pick up tote bins and move them. Amazon announced in October it will beg...
