Man United fans jeer as Rasmus Hojlund is substituted in 3-1 loss to Brighton

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:19:49 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Loud jeers rang around Old Trafford on Saturday as Manchester United fans reacted angrily to manager Erik ten Hag’s decision to take off new signing Rasmus Hojlund in a 3-1 loss to Brighton. United was trailing 2-0 when Hojlund, an $82 million signing from Atalanta, was replaced by substitute Anthony Martial in the 64th. Boos filled the air when the Denmark forward’s number came up on the electronic board and he started to jog to the touchline. Hojlund, making his first start for his new club and his first appearance in front of its home fans, had already seen a first-half goal ruled out by VAR. But with United needing to get back into the game after going behind to strikes from Danny Welbeck and Pascal Gross, Ten Hag decided to withdraw him in a bid to mount a comeback. Hojlund missed the start of the season while recovering from injury and that might have been a reason for his substitution. But the crowd appeared unimpressed and vociferously ...

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was acquitted Saturday of all charges at a historic impeachment trial that divided Republicans over whether to remove a powerful defender of former President Donald Trump after years of scandal and criminal charges.The verdict reaffirmed Paxton’s durability in America’s biggest red state and is a broader victory for Texas’ hard right after an extraordinary trial that put on display fractures within the GOP nationally heading into the 2024 elections. In the end, Paxton was fully cleared by Senate Republicans, who serve alongside his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton.Angela Paxton was not allowed to vote. But she attended all two weeks of the trial, including the reading of the verdict, when all but two of her fellow 18 Republican senators consistently voted to acquit her husband on 16 impeachment articles that accused him of misconduct, bribery and corruption.Ken Paxton, who was absent for most of the proceedings, did not attend the...

TIFF’23: Robot Dreams is one of the greatest animated films of all time

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:19:49 GMT

It’s been nearly 100 years since silent films were the norm. They usually played in theatres with a pianist in the auditorium, or in some fancier cinemas with an orchestra. Dialogue was spoken through title cards, and the film would have to rely almost entirely on visuals to tell its story. Sound changed the game, and almost entirely eradicated silent films with only very few examples coming out over the next few decades. But anytime we do get one nowadays, they’re able to use natural sound and music incredibly inventively.Saving the best for last. My favourite film at #TIFF23 this year, a film I can't wait to show to everyone I love, is an animated silent film from Spain called Robot Dreams.— James Mackin @ TIFF 23 (@JamesMackin10) September 16, 2023Robot Dreams is a powerhouse film that has no dialogue. Directed by Spanish filmmaker Pablo Berger (who previously directed Abracadabra and Blancanieves), this is his first animated film. It’s about an anthr...
