Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:27:24 GMT

SANTA CLARA – Once again, it’s the NFC’s top two teams meeting up Sunday when the Eagles host the 49ers at Lincoln Financial Field.An immediate Super Bowl berth is not on the line this time, however.Last season’s NFC Championship Game saw the top-seeded Eagles win 31-7 against the No. 2-seeded 49ers, who ran out of healthy quarterbacks after Brock Purdy’s first-series elbow injury and backup Josh Johnson’s third-quarter concussion.“Obviously a lot of people are looking forward to it because of how last year ended,” left tackle Trent Williams said last Thursday. “But last year has nothing to do with (this) week. It’s still just one game for us to go 1-0.“It’ll be another tough environment, just like it was (in Seattle).”The 49ers (8-3) took a two-game lead atop the NFC West by virtue of Thursday night’s 31-13 win over the host Seahawks (6-5).The Eagles (10-1) maintained a two-game lead in the conference standings Sunday with a rain-soaked, 37-34 home win in overtime against the...

A history of no-fault divorce — and why it’s been making headlines

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:27:24 GMT

By AJ Willingham | CNNFollowing what some conservatives view as legal victories on the battlegrounds of abortion rights and affirmative action, a number of politicians and influencers are turning their attention to another long-held construct: No-fault divorce.Right-wing commentators like Steven Crowder and Matt Walsh have ramped up complaints in recent months that it is too easy for people — specifically women — to get divorces. All states currently have some version of a no-fault divorce law, but Republicans in Texas and Nebraska list the dissolution or restriction of no-fault divorce in their state party political platforms.In Louisiana earlier this year, state GOP members debated officially backing the dissolution of no-fault divorce, but no decision was made. A lack of full-on legislative attempts to curb the practice hasn’t stopped an abundance of conservative anti-divorce rhetoric, or an answering wave of fear from progressives.Newly minted House Speaker Mike Johnson has been...

La palabra del año 2023 de Merriam-Webster es una auténtica muestra del tiempo en que vivimos

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:27:24 GMT

(CNN) — Mientras la importantísima cuestión de la verdad y los hechos sigue dominando la actualidad, puede que no sorprenda saber que la palabra del año de Merriam-Webster es “authentic” (en español, “auténtico/a”).El diccionario en línea dice que ha habido un gran volumen de búsquedas de la definición de la palabra durante varios años, pero en 2023 se produjo un “aumento sustancial” gracias a “historias y conversaciones sobre IA, cultura de celebridades, identidad y redes sociales”.La razón por la que tanta gente lo busca es porque “auténtico” tiene varios significados, según el anuncio en el sitio web del diccionario, entre ellos “no falso ni imitación” y “fiel a la propia personalidad, espíritu o carácter”.Un sinónimo de real y actual, auténtico es “claramente una cualidad deseable”, según Merriam-Webster, y a menudo se vincula con expresiones de identidad, como la cocina.El diccionario dijo que también ha sido un ...

Israel and Hamas agree to extend truce for two more days, and free more hostages and prisoners

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:27:24 GMT

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel and Hamas agreed to extend their cease-fire for two more days past Monday, the Qatari government said, bringing the prospect of a longer halt to their deadliest and most destructive war and further exchanges of militant-held hostages for Palestinians imprisoned by Israel.The announcement, made by Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majid Al Ansary in a post on X, came on the final day of the original four-day truce between the warring sides. A fourth swap of hostages for prisoners under that deal was expected later Monday. Qatar, along with the United States and Egypt, has been the key mediator in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.Israel has said it would extend the cease-fire by one day for every 10 additional hostages released. After the Qatari announcement, Hamas confirmed it had agreed to a two-day extension “under the same terms.”But Israel says it remains committed to crushing Hamas’ military capabilities and ending its 16-year ru...
