just now (918+ words) MIAMI GARDENS " The Miami Dolphins" race to a .500 record took a step in the right direction Sunday with a closer-than-necessary 21-17 victory over the New Orleans Saints at a sometimes rainy Hard Rock Stadium. The Dolphins (5-7), who have a three-game winning streak and have won four of their past five games, had a few rough spots in dispatching the Saints (2-10). But considering style points don"t count in the NFL it was no big deal. Still, it"s worth noting Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was sacked four times and the offense only scored one touchdown. Beyond that the Dolphins had to make a couple of big plays at the end " intercepting a 2-point conversion attempt and getting a fourth-down stop " to secure the win against one of the worst teams in the league. But whatever. The Dolphins won. Here"s what…...

just now (1419+ words) More than 600 businesses and organizations combined to spend $9.1 million on lobbyists attempting to persuade executive branch officials in Kentucky in the previous fiscal year, according to reports filed with the Executive Branch Ethics Commission. This spending total on lobbyists in the period from July 1 last year to June 30 this past summer is just shy of the record set in the previous fiscal year. Kentucky has long required groups to report their spending on legislative lobbyists, but first required reports on executive branch lobbying spending in 2020. This push for increased transparency followed the conviction of a former cabinet secretary and lobbyist for orchestrating a kickback scheme to steer large government contracts to clients. The top spender on executive branch lobbyists in the last fiscal year was Ernst & Young, one of the largest accounting firms in the country. The company reported spending…...

1+ min ago (740+ words) After helping lead the Browns to victory against the Raiders in Week 12, Shedeur Sanders faced a stiffer test in his second NFL start on Sunday " windy and wintry conditions in Cleveland and a significantly tougher opponent in the San Francisco 49ers. The result was a 26-8 Niners win and a performance that answered few questions about Sanders' long-term viability as a starting NFL quarterback. Sanders was mostly mistake-free but Cleveland's offense was stagnant and ineffective, while mistakes and turnovers doomed any chance of the Browns competing against the superior 49ers. After throwing for 96 yards and a touchdown in the first half, Sanders did little in the second as Cleveland played from behind with a 17-8 deficit early in the third quarter. The Browns didn't score after halftime, and Sanders took a sack on fourth-and-16 midway through the fourth quarter that effectively ended the game....

Carolina quarterback Young tossed two daring second-half touchdowns on fourth down to give the Panthers a precious win heading into the final sprint for postseason places. The Rams -- who boasted the best record in the National Football Conference heading into Sunday's duel in Charlotte -- were left ruing mistakes at key moments. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford gave up a first quarter interception that Panthers defender Mike Jackson returned for a touchdown before a costly fourth quarter fumble effectively sealed his team's defeat. The win leaves the Rams at 9-3 for the season at the top of the NFC West while the Panthers improved to 7-6 to stay hard on the heels of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers…...

Lowri Rose, 26, from Cardiff, said she had been using the apps on and off since she was 18 but she grew increasingly unhappy with how they made her feel. Having initially sought "validation" through them, she said she found app users to be too focused on her appearance and she had received unsolicited "vulgar" messages from people on one app. Lowri said she quit the apps when she was 24 and met her fiance at a dinner hosted by mutual friends. Lowri, a social media manager, said they both felt a strong connection after meeting each other that day in April last year. "I just knew that we were going to get married and he just…...

1+ min ago (791+ words) Lately, I've seen more developers online starting to side eye MCP. There was a tweet by Darren Shepherd that summed it up well: MCPs weren't built just for developers. They're not just for IDE copilots or code buddies. At Block, we use MCPs across everything, from finance to design to legal to engineering. I gave a whole talk on how different teams are using goose, an AI agent. The point is MCP is a protocol. What you build on top of it can serve all kinds of workflows. If your first thought is "why would I use GitHub MCP when I have the CLI?" I hear you. GitHub's MCP is kind of bloated right now. (They know. They're working on it.) But also: you're thinking too local. You're imagining a solo dev setup where you're in your terminal, using GitHub…...
