My worst moment: ‘Ted Lasso’ star Jeremy Swift missed his cue for a nude entrance

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:14:23 GMT

Nina Metz | Chicago TribuneOn “Ted Lasso,” Jeremy Swift plays the team’s delightfully offbeat director of operations, Leslie Higgins. A lover of jazz, he is a man who might be more beaten down if he didn’t have the quiet self-confidence of a person who has his personal life figured out.“I know some of the other actors had a trajectory planned out at the beginning,” said Swift, “but I didn’t. I didn’t really know where he was going. I’m not sure the writers did, either. The first season was very much about divorce for two of the central characters, and they needed a contrast. So they went with a relatively harmonious family for Higgins.” Summing up his experience on the show over the last three seasons: “I just have to pinch myself that I’m in it.”Swift’s resume includes roles in “Mary Poppins Returns,” “The Importance of Being Earnest” and “Downton Abbey,” among many others. When asked about a worst moment in his career, he started off with a disclaimer: “I’m not sure at all what I ...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis launches 2024 GOP presidential campaign to challenge Trump

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:14:23 GMT

By STEVE PEOPLES, ADRIANA GOMEZ and ANTHONY IZAGUIRRE (Associated Press)MIAMI (AP) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis entered the 2024 presidential race on Wednesday, stepping into a crowded Republican primary contest that will test both his national appeal as an outspoken cultural conservative and the GOP’s willingness to move on from former President Donald Trump.The 44-year-old Republican revealed his decision in a Federal Election Commission filing before an online conversation with Twitter CEO Elon Musk. It marks a new chapter in his extraordinary rise from little-known congressman to two-term governor to a leading figure in the nation’s bitter fights over race, gender, abortion and other divisive issues. DeSantis is considered to be Trump’s strongest Republican rival even as the governor faces questions about his far-right policies, his campaign-trail personality and his lack of relationships across the Republican ecosystem. Still, he has generated significant...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:14:23 GMT

Corey Kluber was one of Boston’s highest-profile free agent additions this past offseason, a two-time Cy Young winner expected to provide a steady, veteran presence in a rotation littered with red flags.But less than two months after getting the ball on Opening Day, Kluber has officially lost his spot.Red Sox manager Alex Cora announced Wednesday during his weekly appearance on WEEI’s Gresh and Fauria Show that Kluber will be moved to the bullpen starting Friday and that Tanner Houck will start on Sunday in Arizona.“We were waiting for Tanner to see how he felt after his start and we’re going to make a change, Tanner is going to start on Sunday and Corey is going to the bullpen starting Friday,” Cora said. “We had that conversation with Corey, very professional, he understands, he signed here to be a starter but right now he’s struggling and obviously the kids are throwing the ball well. There’s a lot of off days coming up so we decide...

Boston City Council passes new redistricting map [+photo, link]

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:14:23 GMT

A contentious redistricting process ended with relatively little fuss Wednesday, when the Boston City Council passed a new map via a 10-2 vote.A last-minute compromise over District 4 and 5 changes, the subject of a bitter exchange that saw councilors arguing for more than six hours on Tuesday, appeared to be a contributing factor to the final, lopsided vote.Three councilors who voiced dissent Tuesday over a Mattapan precinct that would have been moved from District 5 to District 4 voted in favor of the amended map that Councilor Ruthzee Louijeune brought before the body Wednesday — which undid the change she had initially proposed for that precinct, 14-14.Voting in opposition were Councilors Kendra Lara and Julia Mejia.“This was obviously a very contentious process,” Louijeune said. “Whenever legislators are drawing lines there’s a lot at stake for people individually. And you always have to remember to center what’s most important to the voters.”The City Council was ab...

By LISA MASCARO, STEPHEN GROVES and SEUNG MIN KIM (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Wednesday he was sending Republican negotiators to the White House to finish out debt limit talks, but warned that the two sides are “still far apart” as they try to reach a budget deal with President Joe Biden.McCarthy said he remained optimistic they could make progress in hopes of an agreement before a deadline as soon as next week, when the Treasury Department could run out of cash to pay its bills. “We’re not going to default,” said McCarthy, R-Calif.Defiant, the speaker said “it’s not my fault” that Washington was careening toward a crisis, pushing blame onto the White House for Biden’s refusal to negotiate earlier as Republicans acted to slash spending.“I’m hoping we can make progress,” McCarthy said.Debt ceiling negotiations are locked on a classic problem that has vexed, divided ...
