Womens basketball fans are jumping for joy after Olivia Miles and Maddy Westbeld appear to have confirmed their long speculated relationship.Over the weekend, Miles, a point guard for the TCU Horned Frogs, posted a series of pictures to Instagram simply captioned "pov." Two of the pictures (#5 and #11 in the carousel, for those who want to scroll) showed her cozied up to Westbeld, her former Notre Dame teammate who was drafted by the Chicago Sky in April.See on InstagramFans immediately took this to be a "hard launch" of the relationship, which was seemingly confirmed by another former Notre Dame teammate."AND THE HARD LAUNCHHHH IM IN TEARSSSSSS," Kylee Watson commented on the post.This is far from the first suggestion that Miles and Westbeld have done more than just play for the same team. One fan suggested that Westbeld had done a "soft launch" of the relationship on TikTok in early May, likely referring to a compilation post she made that included photos of both Miles and their cat.Others pointed out that folks who have been paying attention connected the dots about the apparent relationship quite some time ago. After all, co-parenting a cat let alone one who has his own Instagram under the name "bean miles-westbeld" really does offer quite the obvious hint. View this post on Instagram A post shared by bean miles-westbeld (@bean.mw)Regardless of whether this is a hard launch or just one drop of proof in a sea of evidence, people were happy to see Miles posting about Westbeld and Beans on main."oh my god i used to pray for days like these," wrote @_sahara03."Been waiting so long for this hard launch," @_cdwaugh agreed. "Yall are so cute."Even Westbeld herself chimed in, joking, "beans mom posted u finally!"

by Paige Pfleger, WPLN/Nashville Public Radio This article was produced by WPLN/Nashville Public Radio, a 2023 ProPublica Local Reporting Network partner. Sign up for Dispatches to get our stories in your inbox every week. Richard L. Bean, the longtime superintendent of the East Tennessee juvenile detention center that bears his name, abruptly announced Friday that he will be stepping down. His decision to retire came the day after the Knox County mayor said he had lost confidence in Beans leadership. Bean, 84, has been superintendent of the juvenile detention center since 1972. A 2023 investigation from WPLN and ProPublica found the facility was using solitary confinement more than other detention centers in the state. Sometimes the children were locked up alone for hours or days at a time. That kind of confinement was also used as punishment, in violation of state law. At the time, Bean broadly defended the practices at the facility, saying he wished he had more punitive abilities and that people who pushed back didnt understand what was necessary.After the story ran, the head of the detention centers governing board told local TV station WBIR that he thought the Bean center was the best facility in the state of Tennessee.Renewed scrutiny on the detention center began last week when Bean dismissed two employees, including the facilitys only nurse. The nurses termination was first reported by Knox News, and the mayor described her dismissal as retaliation because she had reported to state investigators significant issues with medical care at the facility, which she said went unchecked and unaddressed by Bean.On Wednesday, Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs and juvenile court Judge Tim Irwin wrote a letter to Bean demanding he reinstate both employees. Irwin is a nonvoting member of the centers governing board of trustees but selects one of its three voting members. These dismissals may well lead to lawsuits against you and the county, the letter reads, which could cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.The following day, Jacobs wrote a letter to the governor calling for immediate state intervention and detailing issues with medication in the facility going missing, errors with medication reporting and even medication going to the wrong detainees. In a public video statement, Jacobs said he had no confidence that these issues will be addressed with the centers current leadership or the governing board that oversees the Bean juvenile detention center. He called for the Knox County Sheriffs Office to take over operation of the center but said he has limited power to intervene. By Friday, Bean announced that he would leave his post as superintendent in two months after he gets the facility shipshape, according to a press release. He did not respond to requests for comment but said in the press release that his last day will be Aug. 1.During WPLN and ProPublicas investigation of the Bean center, documents revealed that state officials repeatedly had put the Bean center on corrective action plans and had documented its improper use of seclusion yet continued to approve the centers license to operate without the facility changing its ways.What we do is treat everybody like theyre in here for murder, Bean told WPLN during a 2023 visit to the facility. You dont have a problem if you do that. Most of the children in the Bean center are not in for murder and instead are awaiting court dates after being charged with a crime.When asked if he was worried he might get in trouble for the way he was running the facility, Bean said, If I got in trouble for it, I believe I could talk to whoever got me in trouble and get out of it.

SAN DIEGOShocked by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids affecting her very own community, local 43-year-old Jillian Beamer told reporters Monday she had assumed President Donald Trump would only deport people on the list she mailed to the White House. With all of these deportations going on, I cant help but feel like hes breaking his campaign promise, said Beamer, a three-time Trump voter who expressed utter disbelief that the administration would act beyond the half dozen names of personal enemies she had jotted down on a piece of stationery under the heading Deport! These are our friends and neighbors theyre rounding up, not my rival at the PTA or the deli guy who always gets my order wrong. It seems like Homeland Security is deviating from other peoples lists too. I dont get it at all. Beamer added that neither she nor the other MAGA supporters she knew had ever imagined that Trump might go after immigrants.The post MAGA Voter Assumed Trump Would Only Deport People On List She Mailed To White House appeared first on The Onion.

STAVANGER, NORWAYMoments after a stunning defeat by 19-year-oldIndian prodigy Gukesh Dommaraju, befuddled chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen exclaimed Monday that he had been bested by the dreaded checkmate gambit. My God, youve played the fearful Checkmate Gambit, havent you? An astonishing piece of strategy, said the visibly flustered Carlsen, his eyes scanning the board to determine that it had been arranged precisely in the manner of the much studied, but rarely attempted maneuver in which one wins the game by preventing another players king from moving. In truth, I thought the Checkmate Gambit was merely the stuff of theory and legend, but youve actually pulled it off! And you evolved it fromwhat was the move before? The CheckPloy, was it not?My God, who did you learn it from? Lasker? Botvinnik? You must teach me. At press time, Carlsen was consulting with an official on classical chess rules to determineif the Checkmate Gambit was even technically legal.The post Befuddled Magnus Carlsen Bested By Dreaded Checkmate Gambit appeared first on The Onion.
