Vandalism was found in the cheerleaders' area at Cartersville High School, including graffiti and racial slurs. Local authorities are investigating, and photos of the damage, including ruined uniforms, were shared on social media, according to FOX 5 Atlanta . Graffiti, including sexual images and a racial slur written in red marker, was found on a refrigerator in the cheerleaders' room. Mustard and coffee creamer were also used to damage the cheerleading outfits. Andre Weaver, Assistant Superintendent of Cartersville City Schools, expressed his shock, stating that "in his four years with the district, nothing like this had ever occurred." School officials worked quickly with the Cartersville Police Department, and within a day, a suspect—a juvenile not enrolled at Cartersville High—was arrested, as stated by 11Alive . After the arrest, parents expressed concerns about how long it took for the school to contact them. "It's just the point of how long it took for it to get for the parents to get contact," one mother told FOX 5 Atlanta . A meeting was held for school officials and parents to discuss the issues, but many are still asking what steps the school will take to prevent something like this from happening again. Investigations are ongoing to find out how the suspect got into the school. Details about the charges against the suspect have not been released.Jets cornerback Gardner and running back Hall doubtful vs. Dolphins, linebacker Mosley headed to IR

NoneThe Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys traditionally play on Thanksgiving, making NFL games a key part of the holiday, alongside family gatherings and feasts. It is also a day off for the country's major stock markets . Along with the Lions and Cowboys, four other NFL teams will be featured across three NFL games on Thanksgiving Day. Lions and Cowboys Thanksgiving Day Games : Dating back to 1934, the Detroit Lions have played in the annual Thanksgiving Day game. The lone exceptions were the 1939 through 1944 seasons that weren’t played due to World War II. The games have become a staple for the National Football League. The idea for the Thanksgiving Day game was created by former Lions owner G.A. Richards as a way to increase attendance and media hype for the team. Richards purchased the Portsmouth (Ohio) Spartans and moved them to Detroit before the tradition began. The first Thanksgiving Day game was watched by more than 26,000 fans. The Dallas Cowboys played on Thanksgiving Day in 1966, beating the Cleveland Browns 26-14. The Cowboys’ first Thanksgiving Day game was attended by 80,259 people. The Cowboys have played a Thanksgiving Day game every year since except 1975 and 1977. Similar to the Lions, the Cowboys saw the holiday as a way to create more national media attention for the team. The Lions created the concept, and the game pre-dates the Super Bowl and many of the NFL teams being created, which makes tradition the biggest reason why the Lions and Cowboys play in their respective games annually. In 2006, the NFL added a prime-time Thanksgiving Day game that features two rotating teams. Thanksgiving Day Stats: The Lions lost its first Thanksgiving Day game and haven’t had success in many of the contests: the franchise holds an all-time 37-45-2 record in Thanksgiving Day games. The Lions have lost seven straight Thanksgiving Day games heading into the 2024 contest. As the creators of the game concept, the Lions have the most Thanksgiving Day wins with 37, but one of the worst records overall. The Cowboys have had better success in their games, holding an all-time-record of 33-22-1. While they don’t play every year, two other teams largely featured are the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers, which hold all-time Thanksgiving Day records of 20-15-2 and 15-20-2, respectively. Both the Bears and Packers play on Thursday. The Jacksonville Jaguars are the only NFL team to never play in a Thanksgiving Day game. Several teams have never won on Thanksgiving Day, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cincinnati Bengals each holding a 0-1 record.

Chicago Bears (4-7) at Detroit Lions (10-1 ): 12:30 p.m. ET on CBS, a unit of Paramount Global PARA PARAA New York Giants (2-9) at Dallas Cowboys (4-7) : 4:30 p.m. ET on FOX, a unit of Fox Corporation FOX FOXA Miami Dolphins (5-6) at Green Bay Packers (8-3 ): 8:20 p.m. on NBC, a unit of Comcast Corp CMCSA The Giants are 7-6-3 all-time in Thanksgiving Day matches and the Dolphins are 5-2 all-time on Thanksgiving Day. All three home teams are the favorites in their Thursday games. Betting odds from DraftKings Inc DKNG show the Lions favored by 9.5 points, the Cowboys favored by 3.5 points and the Packers favored by 3.5 points. Betting on all three favorites to win pays out with odds of +212, which would turn $100 bet into a profit of $212 if the Lions, Cowboys and Packers all win. Betting on all three favorites to cover the spread and win by the totals listed above would pay out at +638, turning $100 bet into a profit of $638 if all three teams cover. Betting favorites on Thanksgiving Day are 48-9 straight up and 38-19 against the spread since 2004, according to data from Action Network. A win by the Bears could be one of the biggest upsets on Thanksgiving Day since 1980 depending on where the spread closes. The current record is the Dolphins beating the Cowboys as 10-point underdogs in 1993. The Packers win over the Lions in 2023 as 8.5-point underdogs ranks second. Why It's Important: The Thanksgiving Day NFL games could be part of a huge week for sportsbooks. Macquarie analyst Chad Beynon estimates $4.5 billion will be bet by U.S. bettors over Thanksgiving week from Nov. 25 to Dec. 1, as reported by Casino.org. This figure would be up 11% year-over-year and comes with a record 38 states and Washington D.C. allowing legal sports betting for this year's Thanksgiving Day games. Prime-time games, which typically occur at nighttime often see increased betting with more viewers watching. The three Thanksgiving Day games could all be treated like prime-time games according to Beynon. The Thanksgiving Day games feature the red-hot Lions who have won nine games in a row and are the current betting favorites to win Super Bowl LIX. The Lions are one of only four teams to never make a Super Bowl appearance. DraftKings lists the Lions as the Super Bowl favorites at +250, ranking ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs (+450), who are seeking a third-straight championship. The Packers rank sixth with odds of +1,600 and the Dolphins have odds of +9,000. The other Thursday teams (Giants, Bears, Cowboys) all have odds of +100,000 to win Super Bowl LIX as all will likely miss making the NFL Playoffs.

Water-Based Heating and Cooling Systems Market Expands as Demand for Eco-Friendly Solutions RisesOne common explanation for the outcome of the 2024 presidential election is that the far-right's vast social media ecosystem was able to reach more Americans than traditional media, influencing a decisive number of voters in key battleground states. One New York Times reporter decided to put himself in those Americans' shoes for a week and document the results. In a Friday article , journalist Stuart A. Thompson — who covers right-wing media — dove head-first into Rumble, which is a preferred video news platform for the extreme right. As Thompson noted, Rumble began as a YouTube alternative that was known for cat videos until the January 6, 2021 siege of the U.S. Capitol. Once YouTube banned multiple accounts for their defense of insurrectionists, those content creators migrated their channels and audiences to Rumble. As part of his research process, Thompson wrote that he watched approximately 47 hours of Rumble content for his report. For one week, Thompson deactivated all of his news apps, filtered out emails from news outlets and newsletters and exclusively watched Rumble content creators like Dan Bongino, Roseanne Barr, Candace Owens, Russell Brand and Clayton Morris, among others. READ MORE: Far-right influencer suggests 'shooting everyone involved' with immigrant aid charities These are just a few of the most popular Rumble commentators. Other top Rumble contributors include conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and misogynist influencer Andrew Tate. Another is Stew Peters — a former bounty hunter who has roughly 556,000 followers and has praised Adolf Hitler and called for shooting nonprofit workers who help undocumented immigrants. "Just a few hours into the experiment, it was clear that I was falling into an alternate reality fueled almost entirely by outrage," Thompson wrote, noting that he could feel his worldview and perspectives shift the more he was exposed to far-right narratives. "When I described to my wife what I was hearing on Rumble, she said I was right to feel uneasy because the world I was immersing myself in sounded genuinely awful," he continued. "Hour by hour, Rumble’s hosts stoked fears about nearly everything: culture wars, transgender Americans and even a potential World War III." Thompson reported that while he expected blowback from Rumble contributors after his article went live on the Times' site, he was surprised to get public backlash before publication. He recalled one interaction in which Jake Pentland — Roseanne Barr's son, who co-hosts her podcast — posted an email inquiry he sent to X, which resulted in him getting doxxed and brigaded with hate from Rumble viewers. READ MORE: Trump campaign advertising on channel of pro-Nazi commentator who called Hitler a 'hero' "Rumble’s chief executive reposted [Pentland's tweet], then Elon Musk reposted that to his more than 200 million followers," Thompson wrote. "My phone number was visible, and apparently seen more than 50 million times on the platform, so I was soon flooded with angry phone calls and texts calling my article (which hadn’t yet been published) a 'hit job' focused on World War III." After the election, Pew Research found that roughly 37% of Americans under 30 — and approximately 20% of all American adults — get their news from "social media influencers" rather than from traditional news outlets. 63% of those influencers are men, and 77% of those influencers have no background or ties to any news organization. A majority of influencers lean conservative, and 85% of them have a presence on X. 50% of news influencers are active on Instagram, and 44% also have a YouTube presence. "These Americans also say they get a variety of different types of information, from basic facts and opinions to funny posts and breaking news," Pew reported last month. "When it comes to opinions, most who see them say they are an even mix of opinions they agree and disagree with (61%), but far more say they mostly agree with what they see (30%) than mostly disagree (2%)."

Oshkosh stock dips on potential USPS contract changesNextCure stock hits 52-week low at $1.00 amid market challengesEarlier this week, it was officially confirmed that Doctor Sleep and The Haunting of Hill House ’s Mike Flanagan is writing a Clayface movie for DC Studios. Now it turns out we can expect this feature starring one of Batman’s more unusual enemies relatively soon, as Clayface has officially been set for a September 11, 2026 release on the upcoming DC movies schedule. That piece of news is a big enough deal on its own (it was also announced that the animated movie Dynamic Duo will come out on June 30, 2028), but there are a couple other tidbits of information concerning Clayface that have asking two questions about the character’s big screen future. How Will This Clayface Mesh With The One We’ll See In Creature Commandos? While sharing the news about Clayface on X (formerly known as Twitter) and other social media platforms, DC Studios head James Gunn clarified that the movie is “a DCU story,” i.e. it will take place in the DC Universe continuity. That by itself is nice enough to know, but that also means this movie will technically be the character’s second DCU appearance. That’s because Alan Tudyk shared in November that he will voice Clayface in Creature Commandos , which kicked off the DCU last month and can be streamed with a Max subscription . Now here’s where things get interesting: while Tudyk voices a comedic version of Clayface in Harley Quinn and Kite-Man: Hell Yeah! , he’s described his Creature Commandos take on the character to Rotten Tomatoes as “a killer. He's a homicidal maniac.” That by itself is no issue, but in Deadline ’s writeup about Clayface ’s release date, he “won’t be painted as a villain.” So what’s the deal here? Does the Clayface movie take place before his Creature Commandos appearance? Is it set after and he just softens up? I’d like to know what the narrative paths for this version of Clayface looks like, especially since this will be a horror movie. Will Alan Tudyk Place Clayface In The Movie? Alan Tudyk is certainly no stranger to performing in live-action movies and TV shows, with notable examples including Firefly , Doom Patrol , 42 , Peter Pan & Wendy and Resident Alien . James Gunn has also said that actors who voice characters in animated DCU projects will also play them in live-action. Nevertheless, ever since it was reported that Daniel Craig is leading a Sgt. Rock movie , I’ve been wondering if that rule will always be followed, as Maury Sterling voiced Rock in the latest Creature Commandos episode. I’m by no means saying Tudyk couldn’t pull off performing Clayface in the movie, I’m just wondering if Gunn might make an exception to this rule, especially since Tudyk could also still appear on camera in the DC Universe as either Doctor Phosphorous or Will Magnus. Also, Clayface is a shapeshifter, so does that mean a series of actors will play him in a prominent capacity instead rather than just one? It’s worth thinking about. Is This The Only Cinematic Clayface We’re Getting? Deadline’s article also mentioned that Clayface is rumored to be part of The Batman: Part II , which comes out in late 2026 . Now remember, the sequel and all the other projects in the Batman Epic Crime Saga take place in a different reality, and the DC Universe already has its own Batman movie coming up called The Brave and the Bold. So if there’s any legitimacy to the claim about The Batman: Part II , there could be two cinematic Clayfaces on the way. It may be a while until that’s clarified, as we’re still in the dark about what’s being planned for The Batman: Part II . Of course, given that the Crime Saga takes place in a much more realistic world, that would mean Clayface would have to be handled accordingly rather be depicted as a giant clay monstrosity. A more toned-down version would be necessary, i.e. a Clayface who might have a more malleable face, but is otherwise a more traditional master of disguise, similar to the one from Batman: Caped Crusader . CINEMABLEND NEWSLETTER Your Daily Blend of Entertainment News Ideally my questions will be answered sooner rather than later, but it’s good to know Clayface’s profile will get a major boost. Keep checking back with CinemaBlend for updates on the Mike Flanagan -penned movie is coming along.

Jon Batiste scores his first No. 1 on Billboard ’s Classical Albums chart, as his new project, Beethoven Blues , debuts atop the list dated Nov. 30. It’s the first in a planned series of solo piano albums, and on this release, Batiste interprets familiar works by composer Ludwig van Beethoven. Beethoven Blues also bows at No. 1 on Billboard ’s Classical Crossover Albums chart, another first for Batiste. The Grammy- and Academy Award-winning entertainer also sees Beethoven Blues bow at No. 9 on the Top Album Sales chart, with 13,000 copies sold in the U.S. in the week ending Nov. 21, according to Luminate. That marks his biggest sales week ever. (Keep reading for a full recap of the week’s top 10-selling albums.) Batiste has previously notched seven top 10-charting sets on both the Traditional Jazz Albums and overall Jazz Albums charts, including one No. 1, Social Music , in 2014. Beethoven Blues is his first title to chart on any of Billboard ’s classical albums charts. On the all-genre Billboard 200, Beethoven Blues enters at No. 64, landing Batiste’s highest-debut ever, and fifth charting effort in total. The album’s first-week sales were aided by its availability across four vinyl variants (including two signed editions), two CD variants (one signed) and a digital download album. In support of the project, Batiste appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show (Nov. 11) and The Jennifer Hudson Show (Nov. 18), and had a significant profile in The New York Times on Nov. 19. Billboard ’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units. The Classical Albums chart ranks the most popular classical albums of the week, ranked by equivalent album units. The Classical Crossover Albums chart ranks the top-selling classical crossover titles of the week. Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums rank the week’s most popular jazz and traditional jazz albums, respectively, by equivalent album units earned. As for the rest of the latest Top Album Sales chart’s top 10: ATEEZ’s GOLDEN HOUR: Part.2 debuts at No. 1 (179,000; the act’s best sales week ever), Linkin Park’s From Zero debuts at No. 2 (72,000), Jin’s Happy debuts at No. 3 (66,000), ENHYPEN’s chart-topping Romance: Untold jumps 26-4 (51,000; up 1,473% after a deluxe reissue), MF Doom’s MM..Food re-enters at a new high of No. 5 (27,000; up 2,875% after a deluxe reissue), TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s former leader The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY falls 1-6 (17,000; down 82%), Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet fall 4-7 (15,000; though up 24%), Shawn Mendes’ Shawn debuts at No. 8 (nearly 14,000) and Gwen Stefani’s Bouquet debuts at No. 10 (11,000).MLS Cup Playoffs Conference Finals Preview: Predictions and Betting Odds For Every Matchup

NEW YORK (AP) — Sean “Diddy” Combs was denied bail on Wednesday as he awaits a May sex trafficking trial by a judge who cited evidence showing him to be a serious risk of witness tampering and proof that he has violated regulations in jail. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian made the decision in a written ruling following a bail hearing last week, when lawyers for the hip-hop mogul argued that a $50 million bail package they proposed would be sufficient to ensure Combs doesn’t flee and doesn’t try to intimidate prospective trial witnesses.
