Lee más artículos de opinión en CNNEE.(CNN) — Matthew Perry —quien murió el 28 de octubre de 2023 a los 54 años— era mi favorito de la serie “Friends”. Su personaje de Chandler Bing, que solía ser sarcástico y autocrítico, me conmovía profundamente.Chandler utilizaba la comedia como mecanismo de defensa para hacer frente a sus inseguridades e incomodidades con frases como “Hola, soy Chandler, hago bromas cuando me siento incómodo” y “No se me dan bien los consejos. ¿Puede interesarte con un comentario sarcástico?”.“Friends” —que coprotagonizaban Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston y Lisa Kudrow— fue más que un programa de televisión, fue un marcador c...

The Texas Rangers have a lot of star power on their loaded roster, including former Red Sox pitchers, Nathan Eovaldi and Martin Pérez. But on this postseason journey towards what they hope will be their first World Series championship, someone else – a more under-the-radar player whose Major League career was far from a sure thing – has been their clutch hero.How very Red Sox of them, too.Adolis García is having a David Ortiz-level October, and in Boston, that’s not a comparison made lightly.Entering Sunday, García has homered eight times in 14 postseason games, the first of his five-year career in the Majors. That ties his teammate, Corey Seager (2020 Dodgers), Nelson Cruz (2011 Rangers), Carlos Beltrán (2004 Astros), and Barry Bonds (2002 Giants) for second-most homers in a single postseason in MLB history. Two more, and he’ll tie Randy Arozarena, who happens to be his best friend, former St. Louis Cardinals teammate, and the father of García’s goddaughter.The two unexpected heroe...

4 former Hong Kong student leaders jailed over their praise of a knife attack on a police officer

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:51:56 GMT

HONG KONG (AP) — Four former student leaders from the University of Hong Kong were sentenced to two years in prison on Monday for inciting people to wound others through their praise of a man who stabbed a police officer before killing himself in 2021. Kinson Cheung, Charles Kwok, Chris Todorovski and Anthony Yung are being held responsible for their roles in passing a motion in the students union council. The motion expressed “deep sadness” and appreciated the “sacrifice” of the man who took his own life. The resolution came against the backdrop of widespread public anger against the police, who were condemned as being heavy-handed in quelling the 2019 pro-democracy protests. Handing down the sentences, Judge Adriana Noelle Tse Ching said the words they used were likely to incite hatred against the police. The charge the four were facing was a serious offense and a lenient sentence would send “the wrong message” to society, she said. Leung Kin-fai stabbed a police officer wit...
