This writer is going to take a victory lap. Back in August , she said Tim Walz was a terrible pick for VP. He was weighed down by his record on crime, COVID, his views on socialism, and is very in-your-face weirdness. And now the media are catching up to where she was almost four months ago: 🧵 1/ The election ended 3 weeks ago. Enough time has passed. We -- or I -- can now safely pronounce that the Tim Walz VP pick was a dud. Let me explain: pic.twitter.com/w2BOkokFAN Hahahahahahahahaha. These are the people who think they're our moral and intellectual superiors. Forgive us for laughing. 2/ Before I get into it, let me say two things. One: Tim Walz did not lose Harris the race (or even close to it) Two: Josh Shapiro would not have made Harris win -- or even win Pennsylvania. Mark your calendars, because this writer is going to say Chris is right here. 3/ That said, I just don't think the Walz pick made a ton of sense for Harris. I genuinely think Walz was the pick because he called Trump/Vance "weird" on MSNBC in late July and instantly went viral. Yeah, that turned out to be the pot calling the kettle black, didn't it? The more voters got to know J.D. Vance, the more they realized he's not only normal, but likable. He was the only candidate to end the campaign with net positive favorability . 4/ Remember that Harris had an incredibly compressed timeline to choose a VP. From the day Joe Biden dropped out to the day Harris picked Walz was 16(!) days. That's it. This is not an excuse. As POTUS, Kamala would've been expected to make very big decisions within very limited timeframes. It was a test of her leadership and policy-making skills. And she failed it. 5/ And Walz peaked at the exact right time. Just as Harris was looking around for a VP, Walz was the hottest thing in politics. He had cracked the code on how to attack Trump! He was plain spoken! He was a football coach! The theory that she picked Walz because he was going viral is an interesting one. This writer won't lie about that, and it fits with a campaign that ran on vibes and relying on social media to drag them across the finish line. 6/ To be clear: I think Harris genuinely liked Walz and felt a rapport with him. And that she and her strategists convinced themselves that Walz’s “big dad energy” might help her appeal to critical voters in the upper Midwest. Harris was clearly fed up with Walz in the waning days of the campaign. And the whole 'big dad energy' thing was a lie. 7/ But, without “weird,” Walz is never on her radar. Period. And, he never really found a 2nd act after "weird." Because Walz is weird . Seriously. There's something deeply, fundamentally off about that man. 8/ Yes, there was excitement about the ticket after the pick. But in retrospect that looks to me a LOT like excitement that Biden wasn't the nominee anymore. Like, if Harris had picked Shapiro or Gretchen Whitmer would the energy have been less? I don't think so. And a lot of it was the media trying to gin up fake momentum and enthusiasm. 9/ Walz was mediocre (at best) in the VP debate. His tendency to exaggerate/misremember details about his past turned into a national story. And toward the end of the campaign, he was just a nonentity. He was a liar, Chris. You don't have to spin it as 'exaggerating' or 'misremembering' -- the dude straight up lied about his military record and a slew of other things. Why couldn’t you say it until now? It’s because you picked a side, isn’t it? He sure did pick a side. Why was it unsafe before now for you, Christopher? Please, tell us, Chris. Very enlightening thread about something everyone knew a month ago. https://t.co/Vcf1hRiz7x Or four months ago. Maybe if the media said this during the campaign it wouldn’t look like f**king liars and sycophants right now. WE pointed out he was a terrible choice, and the media tried to say we were wrong about his service lies. We were right. The media lied. Again, https://t.co/CEpJB3oxqG All the media do is lie.No secrets as Bucs visit Dave Canales, Panthers for NFC South showdown

Jarrod Bowen held Antonio’s number nine shirt aloft after scoring the winner in support of the Hammers striker, who is recovering after a horror car crash on Saturday. Boss Julen Lopetegui said: “He is not in his best moment but he kept his humour. It was a special moment for us. “I think we have a lot of reason to win matches but this was one reason more. He’s alive so we are happy.” West Ham players wore ‘Antonio 9′ shirts while warming up and walking out before kick-off. The shirts will be signed by the players, including Antonio, and auctioned off with the proceeds going to the NHS and Air Ambulances UK. Tomas Soucek headed West Ham into the lead and held up nine fingers to a TV camera. The Czech midfielder told Sky Sports: “He’s been here since I came here. He is really my favourite. I said it would be tough for me to play without him. “I was so scared what was going to happen. It was a really tough week for him, his family and us.” Matt Doherty equalised for Wolves, and boss Gary O’Neil felt they should have had two penalties for fouls on Goncalo Guedes and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, both of which were checked by VAR. But Bowen’s winner – O’Neil believed there was a foul in the build-up – condemned Wolves to a 10th defeat of the season and a third in a row. While under-pressure Lopetegui may have earned a stay of execution, O’Neil’s future as Wolves manager is now in serious doubt. “A lot of things went against us but ultimately we have not found a way to turn the game in our favour,” he said. “But the players showed they are still fighting for me, for the fans and the group. “Where does this leave me? In the same place I was. I’m aware of the noise. But if anyone expected this to be easy – I’m happy to be judged on results but it should be done in context. “Whenever this journey ends with Wolves I’ll be proud of it.” There was an acrimonious end to the match as captains Bowen and Mario Lemina scuffled after the final whistle, with the Wolves midfielder angrily shoving people including one of his own coaches, Shaun Derry. “I just went to shake his hand after the game,” Bowen said. “He didn’t want to shake my hand, two captains together just to say ‘well done’ after the game. “I know it’s difficult when you lose. I’ve been on the end of that situation.” O’Neil added: “Mario is calm now. He’s a passionate guy and something was said that upset him. “The instinct of the staff was to make sure he didn’t get into trouble, but he took some calming down.”South Africa tourists issued 'high threat' warning as Foreign Office raises alarmNoneNo secrets as Bucs visit Dave Canales, Panthers for NFC South showdown

The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .A new Richmond-focused musical dramedy, set in the worlds of entertainment and pageantry, is debuting as a digital short series next week. Rags 2 Richmond is the latest addition to the vertical film industry featuring 30 digital short episodes that are about two minutes each, The series will be released in three sets of 10 episodes on Dec. 5, 12 and 19 on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and Little Red Book. The story follows Nathan Song, a struggling R&B singer-songwriter, and his best friend Lando Wu, both sharing a dream of revolutionizing the music scene with their unique style, ChiDM (China Dope Music). As they prepare to release their radio single “Low Key” — which will also launch in real life alongside the series — Lando receives a mysterious offer that tests their friendship. Meanwhile, disgraced media mogul Raymond Ha launches a co-ed beauty pageant — a first of its kind — hoping to salvage his name and reputation. Instead, it uncovers hidden secrets within Richmond's entertainment world. Based on both fictional and real events, Rags 2 Richmond follows the journey of aspiring artists and the behind-the-scenes drama at a fictional TV station in Richmond, set in 2005, explained Jonathan Wong, Hong Kong singer-songwriter, actor and co-producer of the series. The digital series is a nod to early 2000s hip-hop, R&B and Asian pop culture and is loosely based on pageants from Richmond that became a "launching pad" for winners such as Maggie Cheung, Fala Chen and Michelle Reis into Hong Kong's entertainment industry. Wong told the Richmond New s the entire series is more than just about finding "your sound," rather it is about finding yourself. "In 2005, it was the peak year of the male pageantry here as well as the peak of Vancouver sending people to become worldwide sensations in Hong Kong," said Wong. "We decided to base our series in Richmond, B.C., Canada, as it was and still is a hub for ambitious individuals who want to make it big in the Hong Kong entertainment world." He noted it was also around the same time when Asians felt "they had a chance," inspired by films such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and rising stars such as Stephen Chow and Michelle Yeoh. "If you're Asian, you were like, 'Okay, it's possible.'" The concept of the series was developed by a team of industry veterans including Wong, Justina Shih and director Simon Yin. “ Rags 2 Richmond isn’t just about music and fame; it’s about identity, representation, and the resilience of chasing dreams,” said Shih, an accomplished producer and also the daughter of renowned Hong Kong-based actress Nancy Sit. “We’ve created a story that captures the essence of an era while highlighting the challenges and triumphs of young talent in the Asian diaspora.” Although the idea for the series began in Hong Kong and Los Angeles, production is entirely Canadian with 90 per cent of the cast and crew from Metro Vancouver. Many cast members are local talents, including current and former contestants of the Miss Chinese International Pageant, an annual event by Fairchild Television. Filming took place in several Richmond locations including Aberdeen Centre, Parker Place Mall and along River Road. The cast includes Wong playing Nathan Song, Peter Sudarso as Lando Wu, Hong Kong star Nancy Sit as Nancy Shaw, Davin Tong as Janness, Yasmine Ross as Jennifer Lum, Leslie Kwan as Paulie Dong, and Darren E. Scott as Peter Dong. Short digital films have grown in popularity for mobile viewers on the go. Wong noted the popularity of vertical shorts in Southeast Asia and the U.S.'s digital market has grown over the past few years, particularly on platforms such as ReelShort, which has generated $41 million USD in revenue and more than 11 million downloads recently. “It’s clear that short-form storytelling resonates with audiences – it’s the new wave of how people are consuming media on social media," said Wong. "Rags 2 Richmond hopes to leverage this momentum, using this format as a proof of concept to connect with viewers globally while laying the foundation for a future feature film." Wong told the News the team planned for a full TV series before pivoting to a movie format a few years ago. However, with the increasingly weak film and TV market and the rise of vertical short films, Wong, Shih and Yin decided to change their format once more to short-form film. "We thought why don't we try and prove this (series) concept another way, a less expensive way, but go straight to viewers instead of creating a thing that could possibly never have been seen," said Wong. TV pilot series and shows are costly to produce and often never get shown, he explained. "That's why we decided to do short form because you can shoot it just like you would a TV series, chop it up, and then you can create it for mobile users." While most paid vertical films run on a "freemium" model — where a limited number of episodes are free and viewers have to pay to watch the rest — Wong said Rags 2 Richmond will be a completely free digital series. He emphasized each episode stands alone while contributing to the full story to keep viewers hooked. "There are no filler episodes, and each short has its own compelling story." Episode drops will be announced on @rags2richmond's Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Little Red Book pages. Got an opinion on this story or any others in Richmond?

Oklahoma Democrats mourn Fred Harris, former US senator and presidential candidate

The Yomiuri Shimbun 6:00 JST, November 28, 2024 This is the second installment in a series examining how social media is impacting elections. * * Kenichi Okutani, a Hyogo prefectural assembly member, received malicious phone calls at his home saying such things as “resign,” “liar” and “come outside,” during the recent Hyogo gubernatorial election campaign. Okutani is the chairman of the Hyogo prefectural assembly’s so-called Article 100 committee, which is conducting probes into reelected Hyogo Gov. Motohiko Saito, 47, over allegations of power abuse and other problematic acts. After Saito lost his position as governor prior to the election, slanderous posts about Okutani were spread on social media, while posts supporting Saito proliferated. Takashi Tachibana, 57, leader of the political group NHK Party, also ran in the election. During the campaign, he delivered a street speech in front of Okutani’s home. He urged Okutani to “come out,” and livestreamed himself pressing the doorbell. Okutani and his mother had evacuated from the house, but Tachibana went on to ask social media users on X, formerly Twitter, to provide information about any sightings of Okutani. Some posts in response said such things as, “He seems to be hiding in the Arima Onsen hot spring resort.” Even after the election, strangers have kept standing in front of Okutani’s home and ringing the doorbell. He has consulted with police. Okutani said with an exhausted expression on his face: “Posts about me on social media are all full of misinformation. This is the first time for me to fear this much for my physical safety.” On social media, a phenomenon called the “echo chamber effect” tends to occur, as users’ ways of thinking become distorted as they are more likely to become connected only with other users who hold similar opinions. Fujio Toriumi, a professor at the University of Tokyo and an expert in computational social science, said that only about 10% of accounts on X reposted posts both in support and in opposition of Saito during the election campaign period from Oct. 31 to Nov. 16. He said that X users who supported Saito tended to repost only those posts made by supporters of the governor and opponents tended to only have contact with others who were critical of him, indicating that the two groups were cut off from each other. It is possible that such echo chambers led to increasingly radical language being used among the two groups. Okutani was not the only one targeted by such online abuse. Kazumi Inamura, 52, who finished second in the gubernatorial election, was the subject of a campaign of disinformation on social media. There were posts that claimed she was trying to promote foreigners’ rights to take part in Japanese politics, even though she had never mentioned such a stance. Her election office received phone calls in protest from people who wrongly believed the posts. Yoshiaki Hashimoto, a professor emeritus at the University of Tokyo and an expert on information social psychology, said about the protesting phone calls, “It was probably a result of confirmation bias.” Confirmation bias refers to the psychological tendency of people to only collect information that matches their own opinions. “It is possible that the protesters strongly believed that they were right and the sense of justice they held encouraged them to take such radical action. Even if others call for cool-headed discussions, they see them as enemies and never accept them,” he said. An example of such an incident taken to an extreme was the attack on the U.S. Capitol Building in the wake of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Donald Trump refused to accept his loss in the election and called on people to participate in protest rallies or take other actions. As a result, a group of Trump supporters formed a mob and temporarily occupied the U.S. congressional building. In Brazil in 2022, about 4,000 people, mainly supporters of a defeated presidential candidate, intruded into the National Congress and other public places based on information received through social media. They committed destructive acts. In the recent Hyogo gubernatorial election, there was evidence of budding violence caused by divisions among the public. At the venues of Saito’s speeches, jeers were heard alongside voices of support. On Nov. 15, during the final phase of the election campaign, thousands of people gathered to hear Saito’s speech in front of JR Himeji Station. In response to opponents of Saito raising placards, some members of the audience repeatedly shouted, “Go home.” At one point, police officers entered the space between them. A 42-year-old man from Nagata Ward, Kobe, held a paper sheet reading, “Shame on you, Saito.” “Saito’s supporters are conspiracy theorists who blindly believe information on social media,” the man said. The man said he got acquainted with fellow anti-Saito activists via social media. Tatsuhiko Yamamoto, a professor at Keio University and an expert on constitutional studies, said, “If divisions accelerate on social media, [Japanese society] may fall into chaotic situations like those seen in the United States and Brazil, in which people tried to overturn election results with violence.” “We need to have discussions as soon as possible about how we can build a system in which people can easily access objective and useful information, rather than extreme opinions,” he added.New York State Attorney General Letitia James hopes to get a different decision in her lawsuit against Pepsi for its role in the plastic pollution around the Buffalo River. Nearly six weeks after the lawsuit was dismissed, the Attorney General's Office filed a notice of appeal with the Appellate Division of State Supreme Court late Monday. Bottles of Pepsi are displayed Feb. 10, 2022, in a grocery store in Illinois. The agency had sued Pepsi in 2023 after it had found the company's plastic bottles littering the Buffalo River and its tributaries. The lawsuit aimed to hold Pepsi accountable for that pollution and force it to take steps to prevent the plastic packaging from entering the river. Supreme Court Justice Emilio Colaiacovo dismissed the state's lawsuit on Oct. 31. “There are recycling bins everywhere along Canalside and the other water tributaries highlighted by the Attorney General,” he wrote in his decision. “Yet, people continue to litter. Instead of pursuing those who commit the act, the Attorney General wishes to penalize those who produce the discarded item.” The judge's decision came as a disappointment to environmentalists. “This is what we’ve been hearing from the plastics industry for decades,” said Judith Enck, president of Beyond Plastics, at the time of the judge's decision. “It’s this age-old claim that people create pollution, not polluters.” Pepsi had said it was committed to reducing plastic and encouraging recycling. - Mackenzie Shuman Reach climate and environment reporter Mackenzie Shuman at mshuman@buffnews.com or 716-715-4722.
