Fortunately, Prince Harry’s dubious claims about therapy and war service don’t derail moving ‘Hearth of Invictus’

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 16:48:51 GMT

Prince Harry’s anticipated new Netflix collaboration, “Heart of Invictus,” manages to tug heartstrings and deliver uplifting messages about human resilience — when it turns its focus away from him and instead spotlights a handful of injured military veterans who have faced extraordinary challenges to compete in the 2022 Invictus Games.Perhaps it’s to be expected but Harry, the show’s executive producer and the Invictus Games’ founding patron, can’t help but use some of the screen time to slip in some well-known grievances that deal with his professed history of therapy and his antipathy towards the royal family and the British media. These complaints prove momentarily distracting, because they’ve become repetitive and because they don’t add up upon close inspection.It’s probably necessary to give Harry so much screen time, given that he’s the name brand for the Invictus Games, which return Sept. to in Dusseldorf...

UC Berkeley scholar faces renewed calls to resign over false Native American identity claims

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 16:48:51 GMT

UC Berkeley students and Native American scholars have renewed calls for the resignation of anthropologist Elizabeth Hoover, who became the focus of concerns about the school’s academic integrity and respect for authentic Native American identity when she publicly admitted in May that she’s “a White person who incorrectly identified as Native my whole life.”The calls for Hoover to leave UC Berkeley, or for the campus to take action, began anew this month with the announced retirement of Andrea Smith, a controversial UC Riverside ethnic studies professor who faced accusations for at least 15 years that she helped build her career and scholarship around false claims of being Cherokee.REALTED: UC Riverside professor resigns over ‘pretendian’ claims, but will keep teaching for another yearA separation agreement between UC Riverside and Smith was revealed last week, and students and scholars say it constitutes progress in the thorny question of how universities respond to tenured f...

Tesla allowing no-hands Autopilot driving for longer periods. Regulators have questions

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 16:48:51 GMT

By Tom Krisher | The Associated PressTesla is allowing some drivers to use its Autopilot driver-assist system for extended periods without making them put their hands on the steering wheel, a development that has drawn concern from U.S. safety regulators.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ordered Tesla to tell the agency how many vehicles have received a software update making that possible and it’s seeking more information on what the electric vehicle maker’s plans are for wider distribution.“NHTSA is concerned that this feature was introduced to consumer vehicles, and now that the existence of this feature is known to the public, more drivers may attempt to activate it,” John Donaldson, the agency’s acting chief counsel, wrote in a July 26 letter to Tesla that was posted on the agency’s website. “The resulting relaxation of controls designed to ensure that the driver remain engaged in the dynamic driving task could lead to greater driver inattention and failure...

49ers add fill-in kicker while clouds hover over Nick Bosa, George Kittle

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 16:48:51 GMT

SANTA CLARA – A Robbie Gould encore is not the 49ers’ solution to their kicking injuries.Kicker Matthew Wright is the 49ers’ contingency plan if rookie Jake Moody is unable to open the season because of a quadriceps injury, ESPN first reported Thursday.Wright’s signing is not yet official but is the expectation, according to a team source. He will be added to the practice squad as Moody’s quadriceps injury is not severe enough for the 49ers to shop for a full-time replacement.“The most promising news is he kicked again yesterday and is doing very well,” general manager John Lynch said. “We will have a backup plan. Jake is coming along well.”Wright, 27, has made 40-of-46 field goals since 2020 in stints with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs. He played for the Carolina Panthers in the preseason before being waived Saturday.So why did the 49ers not bring back Gould, who remains a free agent after six stellar seasons with the 49ers? If Gould or ...

Nikki Haley Brings the GOP’s Gender Politics Home

In either case, Nikki Haley has little chance. The debate gave the former South Carolina governor and Trump administration U.N. ambassador no more than a minor boost. Among potential Republican primary voters polled by the Washington Post, Ipsos, and FiveThirtyEight, she came in third, at 15 percent, behind Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy (fourth if you count the absent frontrunner); before that, she’d polled in the single digits.If her odds of winning the primary are slim, those of receiving DJT’s blessing are less than zero. Haley betrayed her former boss by deciding to run. Then she called him out for raising the national debt. On top o...
