The British baroness writing American online safety laws

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:44:37 GMT

Gavin Newsom, California’s governor, was surrounded by aides, local politicians and campaigners last September when he signed a new law for the Golden State — the first of its kind anywhere in the U.S. — to protect children from seeing posts about self-harm or from predatory digital advertisers. But one of the most important architects of the bill wasn’t in the room.Beeban Kidron, a British baroness, watched from 5,000 miles away via Zoom, barely able to see the signing ceremony on a propped-up laptop in her North London townhouse, as proposals she dreamed up years ago became law in the U.S.Officially, she’s Baroness Kidron, Order of the British Empire, of Angel, an upmarket and trendy neighborhood in North London favored by politicians and celebrities. The title evokes the type of pomp and ceremony — more akin to “Downton Abbey” than hard-nosed politics — at which the United Kingdom excels.But Kidron, a film director-turned-children’s rights advocate, has used a c...

‘Flash’ does bang-up job as comedy, action fest

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:44:37 GMT

Are “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” and “The Flash” the same movie? They will be to people tired of the whole “multiverse” gimmick that has contaminated Hollywood writing rooms. “The Flash” benefits greatly from the contribution of the controversial, problematic and also great actor Ezra Miller, who has had multiple run-ins with the law. But when you are the star of a $200 million film from a major U.S. corporation, you get a lot of breaks. Directed by Andy Muschietti of “It” and its sequel fame and written by Brit Christina Hodson (“Birds of Prey”) and Joby Harold (“Obi-Wan Kenobi”), “The Flash” is so consistently funny it might qualify as a comedy, and its plot can get so complicated that you might not remember where you are or who the Batman is in the world you’re in.It all begins when Jeremy Irons’ Alfred of the Ben Affleck “Batman” films calls Barry Allen aka the Flash, a criminologist on his way to work, and asks him to help people at a hospital that is colla...

Isiah Kiner-Falefa took notice and took off.The Yankees’ super utilityman had been on third base with Raley, a left-handed Mets reliever, on the mound in the seventh inning. The pitcher never paid attention to Kiner-Falefa, so he took a huge lead and broke for the plate. Raley and catcher Francisco Alvarez appeared to notice as Kiner-Falefa began sprinting, but it was too late.Raley had already begun his windup. The southpaw sped things up, but he sailed a pitch over Billy McKinney’s head as Kiner-Falefa slid home.A pumped-up Kiner Falefa then jogged to the Yankees dugout and celebrated after giving his team a 3-1 lead.“I got halfway and [Raley] didn’t acknowledge me,” Kiner-Falefa recalled. “Third baseman [Eduardo Escobar] didn’t acknowledge me, and I kind of timed it up.“They thought I was bluffing. So I just went.”The Yankees’ lead didn’t...
